REIGN OF TERROR ENpS IN BERLIN [Continued from First Page.] exceed two hundred dead and a thousand wounded. The over whelming majority of these are Bolshevists- , London, Jan. 15.—N0 renewal of disturbances in Berlin Is reported In the latest advices. The government, having successfully survived "Red week" now is applying Itself to the business of maintaining order and preparing for the elections to the national assembly Sunday. Gustav Noske announces he will keep sufficient troops in the city to safeguard the elections. Government troops are active and are disarming all the remaining Red bands und sup pressing the dangerous aftermath of robbery and pillaging by the defeat ed and dispersed Spartacan ele ments. the leaders of which, in9lud ing former Chief of Police Elchhorn, whose resistance to dismissal was the focus of the uprising, have all begn arrested oa have fled. I.lcbkiicclit Is Missing Rumor is busy about Dr. Lieb knecht, the Spartacan chief, but nothing reliable is known of his fate or whereabouts. The new police pres ident, Richter. is reorganizing and arming the police force which will contain no Spartacan elements. All the election results in South Germany announced up to the pres ent show that the Independents ev erywhere have been defeated. The Bourse, which was closed dur ing the disturbances, will reopen on Wednesday. All civilians are to be armed to defend Berlin. Gustav Noske deliver ed a speech in front of the foreign office Sunday, thanking the troops for what they have accomplished. He said troops had been collected for threatened troubles In the east, but they had been employed In Berlin instead. It was impossible to restore order at the frontiers while in the capital might was going before right. Noske added that as soon as Ber lin was normul the troops would be sent to their original destination, but a sufficient number would be retain ed to safeguard the elections for the assembly. The speaker concluded by saying the German government had notforgotten for an inßtant Its duty to its brethren in the east and had done everything to protect them in the future securely and lastingly against "Polish despotism." It is proposed to make the illegal possession of arms and ammunition punishable with immediate death. The military men now co-operating with tho government propose to show the insurgents no mercy ami they amply demonstrated this policy during the recapture of the Vor waerts building and police head quarters. Hundreds Under Arrest , It Is declared by creditable eye witnesses that lite new government troops in both actions Saturday beat down with bayonets and with clubs and otherwise killed scores of men who wer Spartacan guards or civil ians caught with arms. Hundreds of persons already have been arrested. The last ripples of the tidal wave which has swept over Berlin in the past seven days now are being felt in the spread of robbery and looting which is being carried on by soldiers and sailors who detached thentsblves from Spartacan units. Berlin to-night is virtually defenseless against law lessness. Yorwaerts Building a Fortress The material loss and disorder caused by the rebels was especially heavy in the plants of tho Yorwaerts and the Tageblatt. Records and ac counts were strewn about and bulky ledgers wer Jammed into windows to serve as barricades for riflemen. The Yorwaerts building was con verted Into a veritable fortress and arsenal. After a breech had been blown in with cannon the Sparta cans began to weaken and later gave in. Government Y'ct Impetus The reinstatement and arming of the police gives the government a new force of trained men who know the criminal world and whoso ab sence during the first days of the revolution gave the disorderly ele ment a free hand. Police records, including those of the Berttllon sys tem, were not destroyed, as was first reported. Detectives are already rounding up old acquaintances anijl the work of disarming lawless elel ments is proceeding. Property loses during the past week of terror amount to tens of millions of marks in addition to the damage to newspaper plants and government buildings. Merchants' losses through looting are very high, one youth being captured with sixty thousand marks worth of jewels which he had stolen. 'ln some streets near the police headquarters nearly every store was systematically looted. Bolshevist troops holding 'the Silesian station had so much butter that they used it to grease their guns and boots. Center of City Is Quiet The center of the city fias been quiet all day to-day. Late this even ing a few shots were heard in dif ferent parts of the town, being fired by snipers and looters. Merchants having shops along Unter den Linden took down their shutters and business went on as usual. The government has no intention of slackening its efforts against the Spartacans ,tlie Abend Zeitung says it learns from best authority. Ener getic measures are being taken against the leaders of the move ment. It is reported that docu ments found by loyal troops show that tho Spartacan uprising was in spired from Moscow. Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the Sparta can leader. Georg Ledebour, head of the revolutionary Independent Social ist element, and the immediate sup porters of these revolutionary chiefs, were so certain their plans for the recent uprising would succeed that they had prepared a proclamation, dated January 6, in which the Ebcrt- Scheidentan government was declar ed deposed and formal announce ment made that the government had been taken over by the revolution ists. The proclamation wns addressed to "I'ontrades! Workmen!" and was s.gned by "the revolutionary com mittee, per l.odebour, ldebknecht and Soholio," It was presented to ldeutenunt Hamburger at the min istry of WIT on January 6, by a nta ilne who appeared before the min istry with three hundred armed men rrotn the royal stable which was then one of the headquarters of the revo lutionists .The marine demanded that the ministry be turned over to him. I.leut. Hamburger, observing that the signatures were typewritten, object ed to them as Invalid, saying he was ready to surrender the ministry to the new government If the docu ment were properly signed, The troops withdrew and return ed later with the proclamation bearing the personal signatures of LJebknect and Scholae, together with an annotation by Dr. Uebknecht (signing himself us "the representu- tlve of Georg Ledebour, who la for the moment ahaent." Lieut. Hamburg took the procla mation but retained the ministry In his own hands. Four of Castalia Lost in Rescue of Ship's Company By Associated Press Haltfux, N. S.. Jan 15.—Four cf the crew of the United States ship ping board steamship Castalia, dis abled off Sable Island Monday, were lost in the rescue of the ship's com pany by the steamers Bergensfjord and Warllgian. A wireless messuge from Cauptaln Bull of the Bergens fjord, received here to-day by the shipping board said the rest of the crew had been saved. Fred Stone, of Andover, N. II.; John Tomakavltch, of Ollphant, Pa., and Benjamin Silverman, of Rox bury, Mass., died of exhaustion, and Andrew Cobb, of Ware Shoal, S. C., wns drowned, the message said. The survivoj-s will be taken to Ber gen, Norway, to which port the Ber gensfjord was bound when she ans wered the Castalia's distress sig nals. Annexation of Korea by Japan Being Oppoed Washington, Jan. 15. Resolu tions protesting against the annexa tion of Korea by Japan and asking Prehident Wilson and the American peace delegates to apply the princi ple of self-determination to that country have been sent by the new Korea Associotion to the president and members of the mretgn relations committee of Congress. . British Censors Will Pass All Peace Messages London, Jan. 157 —The British for elg-n office announced to-day that the government does not intend to exer cise any censorship over press mes sages during the Peace Conference. It states that It has also received a similar assurance from the French government. McCORMICK QUITS THE CHAIRMANSHIP [Continued from First Page.] President. Ncf announcement has been made, however. Otflcials at the White House de clined to discuss the report that Mr. Sharp would return home to be suc ceeded by Mr.. McCormick. but it seemed to have credence in other officiul circles. Mr. McCormick was appointed chairntan of the War Trade Board after the United States entered the war and devoted all his time to that work. -* The Democratic National Commit tee to-day announced that a meet ing would be held February 26 to elect McCorntick's successor. Homer S. Cummings, vice-chairman, is ex pected to be the new chairman. While it is true that Ambassador Sharp has tendered his resignation to the President, it was stated on good authority that there is no real foundation for the report that Mr. McCormick is going to succeed him as American Ambassador to France. Official circles to-day pronounced the report as "at least premature." , When Mr. MeCormick left Wash- ' lngton, it was learnd he told some i of his intimate friends that his work j with the Peace Commission would , hold him in Paris for at least six ; months. He felt that it would not be fair td the Democratic Committee to j remain longer at Its head while so actively engaged In official service and during so long a contemplated absence in France, and it was then that he left his letter of resignation with the committee in Washington. The resignation of Ambassador Shirp is not a complete surprise. It was quietly intimated when he re turned recently to this country that he did not care to return to his Am bassadorial post. The presentation of his resignation to the President is believed to be based on the belief of Mr. Sharp that the cessation of hos tilities afforded him a convenient op portunity to leave the diplomatic service. It has been intimated several times recently that Mr. Baruch might be the next Ambassador to France. But in quarters usually well informed it is insisted that neither Mr. MeCor miek nor Mr. Baruch was being con sidered at this time for the Paris diplomatic post. LOAN AGENCIES LIMITED' Loan agencies may not charge more than two pep cent, per month upon sums exceding $lOO and not exceeding $6OO and this rate of in terest cannot be legally increased to thre pee cent, per month on any ' unpaid balance at any time, ac cording to an opinion rendered to day by Attorney Genral Brown to Daniel F. Lafean, State Banking Commissioner. Three per cent, is collectable on sums less than $lOO, but when a larger sum Is reduced to less than that sum the original rate of interst must s'.ill continue.

When he told them he did not have much, the bandits tore the clothes from lilm and his wife, beat the woman with a whip and pounded Mlchulsky with the butts of their yana until he agreed to give them 15,000 rubles. The band told Mme. Mlchulsky, who Is French, that she belonged to the "dlr®- Allies." "All your people will soon be like us. There will not be any more prop erty owners. We are going to War saw and then we will overrun Eu rope." Eater the bandits i\Bked for more money and tortured the couple until Mme. Mlchulsky became unconscious and her husband's wrists were brok en. Mlchulsky gave them 15,000 ru bles more, all the money he had. Then, after stealing all the clothing and valuables In the house and the horses on the farm, the men demand ed liquor. Finding that there was none, they gave the pair a final beat ing and went to. a neighboring house. They did not find any money there, so Mlchulsky says. They set Are to the house and shot down the family as they fled. A girl of IS almost es caped, but was brought down with a second shot as she ran. The ban dits then beat her to death with the butts of their guns. Tlje commanders of the retiring German troops are reported to be carrying on systematic schemes of getting money. One plan Is to sell the farms hack, to their owners be fore retiring, or. If they are unwilling to buy to sell them to the peasants. LEAGUE OF NATIONS IN FIRSTJHOUGHTS [Continued from First Page.] be police control but (he weight of public opinion. Public opinion, bow ever, would be sufficient to insure at least that any future war would be reduced to single disputes—that is, there would never be another war like the present one." Lord Robert would not go so far as to say there would be no more wars, but he expressed confidence that they would be confined to the immediate disputants. Public Opinion First "In the daily life of any country." Ford Robert Cecil continued, "it is public opinion and not the police man which controls the conduct of the people. You have yourselves seen that even in cases wlfere law and public opinion clash public opinion wins." As to the machinery of a league of nations, Ikird Robert said there should be an international secretar iat operating permanently to carry on the routine business between meetings of the main international tribunal. The main triburnal would meet periodically, perhaps every month or six weeks, to handle mat ters of moment. Ford Robert Cecil also said the league should do away with all treaties inconsistent with its tenets, including compacts providing for a balance of power. Monroe Doctrine Safe Asked what effect the formation of a league of nations would have upon the Monroe IJpctrine, Lord Rob ert asserted he could see no conflict with the doctrine. Asked what would happen if Mexico or a South Ameri can country did something that caused trouble with the league, he replied: "Then, I think, an agreement could be made by which America could act in behalf of the league." Regarding the admission of the I Central Powers and their allies to the league. Lord Roberts said they should be admitted, "if they showed an inclination to do the right*thlng." Speaking of Germany, he said: Huns Must Make Good "We must await events. If she turns over a new legf and tries to re pair the damage she has done, thero is no reason why she should not join. The league is for the good of hu manity, and not for any select group. It will benefit her if she comes in." With the resumption to-day of the meetings preliminary to the peace conference, it is apparent that the movement to create a league of na tions is being carried on by two forces, having the same object but differing as to the means for making effective the decisions of the pro posed world society. One of these represents the contention that the decisions of the league must be back ed by its combined physical forces, while the other represents the view that its findings can be enforced without the aid of a common world police force. Move Toward Common Ground Diplomatists seem Impressed with the view that both these ideas are moving toward a common ground which, for example, might provide that the nations could reserve for each individual case their decision whether they would utilize armed forcf> or nvall themselves of other means. There Is reason to believe that such an arrangement would be sup ported by some of the European statesmen and there is nothing to indicate that it would be rejected by the American representatives. The work before to-dny' session of the Supreme Council comprised com pletion of the allotment of represen tation of the various nations, and further .consideration as to whether Russia .should have delegates In the larger body. These matters aro ex pected to be entirely disposed of by Saturday, when the first sitting of tlie peace congress will be held. league lias First Coll The program commonly agreed upon calls for primary consideration of the forming of a league of nations, and the congress will work on this to the exclusion of all other subjects. The effort aems to be to bend all en ergies to the laying of the foundations of the league, so that the conference may proceed to tne actual making of the peace treaty In the early spring, even if It be only a preliminary one which will dispose of the pressing question of demobilization and the return of the warring countries as nearly as possible to the economic conditions of peace. This Is recog- nlzed by all the statemen as of the utmost necessity* President Wilson will have before him an Independent estimate of the actual physical damage suffered by France and Belgium during the war when the peace congress reaches the stage of discussing Indemnities, A survey Is being planned and will probably be conducted by mere than two hundred army oflloers chosen es pecially for the work. Bill of Damage* Great Some observers believe the bill of actual damages will be so great that the Entente nations probably will be more concerned with the abil ity of the German people to pay it than with the possibility of exact ing further damages in the nature of punitive Indemnities and war costs. President Wilson's attitude toward the question of what Indemnities nre to bo exacted from Germany has been made plain on several occa sions. lie believes that damages should be restricted to restitution, reparation and restoration and should not be extended to financial punishment of the German people. May Visit England Again President Wilson may visit En gland on his way back to the United States next month, but not to con fer with statesmen there. He has hoped to be able to sail from a Brit ish port, probably Queenstown, and have an opportunity to Inspect the base of the American flotilla which did such remarkable work In the antisubmarine warfare. Mr. Wilson, It Is said, might de cide, If he visits England, to stop for a few hours at Oxford to reoelve an honorary degree which that uni versity wishes to confer on him, london, Jan. 15.—Commenting upon the onference between Pre mier Orlando, of Italy, and Presi dent Wilson last Friday, the Paris correspondent of the Dally Mall says that persons In touch with the Italian mission declare the premier was surprised at Mr. Wilgop'g atti tude. Wilson Finn In Refusal "President Wilson was firm In his refusal to recognize Italian claims beyond Trieste and Trent," the cor respondent writes. "It Is known that Foreign Minister Sonnlno, of Italy, demands an Important part of the Dalmatian coast, as well as the Fiume, while Premier Orlando would be content to give up the Dalmatian coast If sure of Flume. It Is reported that even on this point Mr. Wilson was unwilling to give way. Italy May Incur Enmity "While the majority of the inhab itants of Fiume are Italians that port is the natural outlet for the Austrian Slavs. It Is said, therefore, claimed that a few thousand Italians in Flume dare not to be balance the needs for a sea outlet for millions of Slavs, it Is pointed out that the commercial necessities of the Jugo- Slavl demand an outlet to the Adria tic and that if Italy ignores these necessities she may incur the en mity of those populations and create a new danger to the peace of Europe." Colorado Senator Says Smith Story Is Untrue Washington. Jan. 15.—Senator Thomas, of Colorado, appearing to day before the Senate Judiciary Committee investigating German propaganda, declared that testimony given yesterday by Austin J.
