Monarchists Expected to Try to
'di Overthrow Republic Today,
Ex-Kaiser's Birthday
TROOPS ARE MOBILIZED
By tlio Associated Press
Berlin. Jan. 27. Henvv nntrols of
;ol(licr gunnlnl tho government build
r Inca last nlcht and utonned nil trnfflc
; oyer streets in that neighborhood hrc
; onrrfcadet were thrown up by the
troops before nightfall. Rumors were
I heard during the evening thnt monarch
! Ists had planned nn uprising today,
which la the birthday of former Em
i peror 'William and thnt Gustnv Noske,
j minister of defense, had massed troops
I as a. precautionary measure.
While government officials have de-
I tiled nny knowledge of an intended iu
! snrrection and nuy the attack on Mathias
i Eribercer. minister of finance, yester-
fday, prompted the mobilization of forces,
pit is declared tnc autnorities sought to
'forestall action on the nnrt of the sun-
EporterB of the imperial regime. It was
t reported last night that attacks against
fthe Independent Socialists and radicals
; were planned as the first step in the
i monarcmst coup.
Deen indicuation over the nttnek on
Ilerr Erzberger was cxnrcs&ed iu a
proclamation issued last night, the at
tempted assassination being called "a
criminal excess of political warfare."
The nroclnmntion said that it was
,, hoped the deed would arouse the nnger
iof the general public and promised to
protect cerv one against violence.
Sympathetic inquiries were made at the
Erzberger home b the Italian and
j British charges d'uffuires and President
JEbert telegraphed condolences to the
(wounded minister
Tried to la-nch Erzberger
This was not the first attempt made
to kill Erzberger. Last June at Wel-
4 mar he birely escaped capture by a
handful of troops, who, as was later
3 proved, deliberately had planned to
lynch him. The attack at that time
was commonly bclieed to hate been
inspired bv the conservatives and inili
xtarists. Krzbergor escaped in an auto
vjnobile and remained in hiding for sev
leral dajs.
When the present Ilelfferich-Erz-:
;berger trial began the government as
signed two plain-clothes men to pro
tect Erzberger. They accompanied him
:to court the first dav. but their pres
ence was objected to by the judge, who
ordered the detectives out of the cham
ber and told them to wait outside.
( Erzberger scarcely made an trips
i about the city afoot, mostly using his
iioffieial car, een for such short dis
Ctances as between the ministry of
finance and the chancellery, which arc
1 about 200 yards apart.
5 The Pan-German organs are promi
nently printing reports of the present
(trial and accompanjing tiie evidence
Iwith editorial comment praising Hclf
lierico for coming forward and "expos
Sing" the minister.
1 Tpstprdav's session of the Erzborger-
fHelfferich trial was the quietest since
tsuit started a week ago. The evidence
concerned the minister s relations with
the Thymen Iron firm, after which hW
attitude toward exports was discussed.
There, was less wrangling on the part
of the attorneys) and Erzberger also
was spared much of the grilling that
bad marked the previous session.
The attack on Mathias Erzberger oc
curred outside thp Criminal Courts
Ilullding after it hearing nf the neuter-
Irh III1 Milt. ITn linn ullrhtiv wounded
In the shoulder by n shot fired by Oltwlg
von lllrschfciu, a former cadet omcer.
When nrri-Ktpd Vnn Tllrwlifoli! said that
ho considered Erzberger dangerous to the
empire.
Erzberger's Luck With Htm
Erzberger had left the courtroom and
wag seated in his automobile talking to
his attorney, who was standing on the
running board and holding the door
open. Ilirschfcld crept beneath the at
torney's arm and was actually In the
automobile when he fired.
It is said three shots were fired. The
first hit a vest button nnd glanced off,
the second fctruck Erzberger's watch
nnd was deflected, while the third bul
let entered his shoulder. The bullet
had not been extracted at 0 o'clock this
evening, but Erzberger was reported to
be resting fairly comfortablv.
Before the shooting Hirscbfeld wrote
his parents a letter, in which he ex
plained that he was acting from "pa
triotic motives."

DEATH MARS REUNION
Reading Man's Child Dies After
Reaching Home From Italy
Reading, Pa., Jan. 27. There was
mourning today in the new home of
Romeo Carusi at Millmont instead of
the happiness he had awaited for years.
Pasquilina, his seveu-jcar-old daugh
ter, lay dead.
Pasquilina was still in her cradle in
Italy when Romeo left to make a home
for both on this side of the Atlantic.
He was ncaring his goal in Reading
when the world war called him into
army service. He started to save again
upon his discharge last jear, and there
was enough at length for the home and
ocean passage for two. Last Tuesday
they were gathered in his arms at
Hobokcn pier. The little girl, however,
failed to recover from sickness con
tracted on the voyage nnd today she
died.

The L. B. Card ledger
for department store accounts
Department stores from Maine to California have never
been so busy. Charge accounts have increased rapidly in
the last four years. Accuracy in keeping these accounts
has become more necessary than ever.
Here are three definite reasons why the L. B. Card ledger,
machine posted, is helping leading department stores to
keep their accounts up-to-the-minute:
1. TIexibility. The work can easily be divided
among any number of operators.
2. Accuracy. Each day the postings can be proven
t with a minimum amount of work.
3. Credit "Reference. Questionable accounts can
be referred with th& greatest of ease to the
ledger for credit.
Executives prefer the L. B. Card ledger because it relieves
worry, clears their desks of complaints and gets statements
out on time. Employees prefer it because it reduces mis
takes to that irreducible minimum and makes the day'a
work easier yet more productive.
One of our representatives will be glad to talk card ledger
to you and show its adaptability. Write, 'phone or call.
