power.
ruH, March 4. (By A. !'.
BavarUn troopi opposed to the radical
government In Munich nre marching on
that city, accotdlne to a dispatch from
Zurich to the Petit Parislen. This an
nouncement was made at the Soldiers
and Workmen's Congress In Munich by
Ministers Jaffo and Unterleltner. It was
confirmed by several other delegates.
Details of tho moement are lacking,
but It Is known the dispatch ndds. that
strong detachments of tioops already
have left Nuremberg. News of the re
ported advance on Munich caused com
motion among the delegates and the
congress adjourned at once
The National Spartacus League and
the Greater Berlin organizations hao
Issued an appeat for an Immediate gen
eral strlko nnd the overthrow of the
National Assembly and tho present re
public. The alms of the proposed strike as
called by the Berlin Spartacans Include
the Introduction of factory councils In
all plants to regulate factory affairs
and ultimately the taking over of the
factories, the dismissal of the govern
ment troops nnd the disarmament of all
non-Soclallsts, the withdrawal of all
troops from Westphalia. Bremen and
other regions designated, and the for
mation of a B.ed Guard under the con
trol of the Soviet", which would take
over all military and police powers.
Would Try Kaiser
The liberation of all political pris
oners and the establishment of a revo
lutionary tribunal to try the "chief cul- i
prlts" of tho war. the Hohenzollcrns.
Field Marshal von Hlndenburg, General
Ludendorff. Admlr.il Tlrpltr. and the
"trnllnra In n vt. nluttnn Tr.attnl I
Kbert, Chnnoellor Scheldcmann and
Gustav Noske. the Minister of Defense,
are also called for.
The Immediate conclusion of peace
with Hussia and the estaUMshmtnt of
diplomatic relations with the Russian
Soviet republic are likewise demanded
The organizations Instruct their fol
lowers to assemble at f.tclorles to pre
ent work and direct them to avoid
street demonstrations In order that the
government may have no opportunity to
crush the movement by force. Meet
ings were being held at 10:30 today at
various factories for the purpose of de
ciding whether to respond to tho ap
peal. The workmen of the Schwartzkopf
plant, who are among the most radical
In Berlin, have voted for a general
strike, 12,000 b.-lng affected. This Is the
first responro to the Kpartacan appeal.
According to the Vorvvaerts, the
majority of the vvorklngmen In the
metal trades and tho railway workers
favor n general stoppage of work.
Flan Counlr-. Strike
Some 300 business and professional
men nnd officers in the city, mostly ad
herents of tho old order, held a meeting
nnd decided to take Immediate steps for
organizing a general strlko of all the-non-Socialist
classes (is a counter
measure against the "red terror."
Spartacan bands nre on their way to
Frankfort from Westphalia, ncoordlng
to a special dispatch received today from
Cassel, about ninety miles northeast of
KTankfort. This dispatch reported
twenty armored automobiles bearing
Spartacans had arrived at Wlldungen
en route from Westphalia to Frankfort.
Messages from Bavaria state that the
troops at Munich have declared they
will stand back of the city military com
mander, Herr Duerr, In the demand for
a. purely socialistic ministry. They an
nounce their refusal to co-operate with
the Spartacans and Communists, and
that they are prepared to oppose all
street terrorism. The troops also have
called for the abrogation of the press
censorship.
In the Essen district the miners' strike
has been renewed. The miners In tho
Attenburg coat district In central Ger
many have oted to return to work to
day. This Is believed 'to mark the be
ginning of the end of tho coal mining
strike In Thurlngia.
Tho national governing board of the
Majority Socialist party, the delegates
to the National Assembly and the local
board of greater Berlin have Issued an
appeal to the worklnginen to refrain
from taking part In the general strike.
They promise that the government will
use all efforts possible to hurry along
nodal legislation In which the retention
of the principle of the working-men's
councils will be Incorporated. Such
councils later would' officiate after the
manner of factory councils
The proclamations against the strike
set forth that a. general strike at. this
time would prove catastrophic In Its
effects, as It would be Inimical to the
early conclusion of peace nnd the eco
nomic recovery of Germany.
The Independent Socialists, who are
holding a meeting this morning, will not,
it Is said, act on the strike Issue before
Tuesday.

Ideas for Adoption
At first, advertising was used chiefly to exploit
frauds or near frauds. The Louisiana Lottery, for
example, or some villainous nostrum that "cured"
cancer or consumption, cost 2c per bottle to make
and 60c to sell.
Next came the advertising of sound but common
place merchandise like soap, shoes, oranges and inner
tubes.
But what of the future?
Advertising conveys a message from one to many.
What are the limits as to the nature of these
messages?
Just before the armistice was signed, an advertising
agency received a $250,000 order for a campaign in
favor of "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER."
A firm in the Middle West are just now exploiting
their own method for solving the labor question.
Where do you limit the advertising of the future?
Why can not ideas be advertised for adoption as
well as goods or services?
Advirtii'mz space in th Butttnck publications
is for sale by accredited advertising agencies.
