# Tuesday Morning —THE BUTTE MINER— March 16, 1920 ## Column 1 **Fully Satisfied** *—there's nothing but satisfaction.* *Schilling Tea is buying — be cause of economical cost.* *And because it gives you the most pleasant tea you have ever tasted.* *—in setting the problem it raises the question of the best tea.* *Cabinet contains only each individual package that has been Food Authorities.* *You can depend of Highest Quality.* HIGHEST QUALITY AWARDED No; we won't say that Schilling Tea makes 300 cups or 400 cups to the pound, and could say more, and could say nothing. We don't know how large your cups are, nor how strong you like your tea, nor what flavor you like — for instance — Schilling Tea makes many more cups than Japan. When we say a thing, we like to know what we're talking about. But we will say *this*: a pound of Schilling Tea makes *so* many more cups than a pound of common tea, that it is really cheaper per cup. There are four flavors of Schilling Tea—Japan, English Breakfast, Oolong and Mixed—in convenient parchment-lined moisture-proof packages. At grocers everywhere. *A Schilling & Co San Francisco* --- ### GRANDMOTHER KNEW **There Was Nothing So Good for Congestion and Colds as Musterole** But the old-fashioned mustard plaster burned and blistered while it aided. Help is relief of the modern way with a white grease, known as plaster and without the burn. Musterole is made with oil of mustard, it is antiseptic, and it does that it works wonders, and yet does not blister the tender skin. Gently massage Musterole in with the finger tips. See how quickly it brings relief—how speedily the pain disappears. It is good for sore throat, bronchitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, all pains and aches of the back or joints and muscles, sprains and bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of the chest — and so many other aches. 35c and 65c jars; hospital size $2.50 **MUSTEROLE** ## Column 2 # A. E. F. POSITION IS COMPLEX ONE ### Overseas Steps for Possible Action Against Germany Being Followed Closely in Official Washington. *(By Associated Press.)* Washington, March 15.—While nationality still under the direction of Marshal Foch, American troops at the Rhine would not participate in any allied advance into Germany without specific directions from President Wilson, it was said today at the war department. Germany and the situation, as far as the American forces were concerned, was a complex one. The United States is the only nation having forces on the Rhine, which has not become a party to the treaty of Versailles. It was explained, and consequently the American detachment on occupation duty, while technically subject to the armistice terms they still were subject technically to the orders of Marshal Foch as the supreme allied commander. **Conference Important.** Steps being taken overseas for possible military action against Germany as a result of the situation were being closely followed at Washington. Considerable importance was attached today with the allied commanders at Mainz, and in the reports from Paris that after this conference he would call a meeting of the supreme war council to which the United States is represented on that council. The American forces on the Rhine consist of about 15,000 troops under Maj.-Gen. Henry T. Allen. **SENDING MORE TROOPS.** Paris, March 15.—France contemplates sending three more army corps to Wiesbaden, Neustadt and Bona, thus doubling her forces along the Rhine, according to the Petit Parisien. Reports reaching here say allied troops has been taken to maintain order in occupied districts of Germany. Information would seem to indicate the situation was prevailing in Germany. The general strike in which the Berlin may be responsible for lack of definite news from that city. Advices from other sources, however, indicate the German government began Saturday morning in confessed to Berlin, and that strike are busy looting stores in some quarters of the city. Military forces at Leipsig appear to have the new revolutionary military view of affairs. From reports reaching here generally it is reported by the allied commanders have been summoned to meet at Stuttgart Tuesday. --- ### TRANSFER OF COUNTY FUNDS DECLARED ILLEGAL *(Continued From Page One.)* would be improper, and that he refrained from making any statement as to what would be proper except to say that a thorough personal investigation of the matter would be made in due course. Approval of the transfers in question was refused by the state examiner on the ground that they had not been sufficiently itemized, and that the contents of the minutes on which the matter has been left to his discretion, to sanction the transactions. No sioners of the monthly reports showing such transfers were made without itemizing. --- ### IRISH PROFESSOR TO TELL OF PRISON LIFE At St. Patrick's day exercises, which all Irish societies will attend in a body on St. Patrick's Day, Tuesday, will be celebrated, the Rev.

The Butte committee workers announce that they have raised $20,000 already with the rest of the state following. The celebration of tonight and tomorrow will in all probability materially benefit the cause and considerable money is expected to be raised. --- ### SUBSTITUTE RESERVATION IS ADOPTED BY SENATE *(Continued From Page One.)* (Democrat—Democrat) from Bozeman, Walsh, Montana. The adoption of the original Article 10 reservation last November the vote was 46 to 55. In the final vote tonight, however, the Democrats of Georgia and Walsh of Massachusetts voting for the reservation. The vote on Article 10 completed the work of the senate on all the original reservations. The senate will now draft several new proposals reservations. But council of today's vote was satisfactory. Most leaders thought tonight, however that nothing more than this was done. **Democratic Lines Tighten.** The president had virtually the only hope of ratification lay in the democratic support of the president's position. However, which the administration lines tightened today as Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, minority leader, who had previously not confirmed his belief that Mr. Wilson would now refuse to compromise. Senator Hitchcock did not disclose how he obtained this information, but he is believed to have informed his colleagues he had been in a position to do so. The substitute adopted was just as objectionable as the original reservation. The president relied upon the dominant cohesion of the republican majority which had been kept up the past months. There were 56 republicans in the senate and the 14 democrats who voted for the republican program in roll represented less than half the democrats, democratic whip had been prominent in the republican substitutes. Senator McCumber of North Dakota, who had been one of the most active in charge of the compromise negotiations for the resources, himself voted against the reservation after a draft had been drawn up in the event that the president had been unable to continue its friendly offices in protecting ratification, had been rejected, 33 to 57. **Other Substitutes.** Among other substitutes offered from the democratic side, an effort by Senator McKellar of Tennessee failed to get a single republican vote to concur in it. The effort had been framed in the revert to partisan conflict to bring about compromise. It was voted down at once. **Will Stand by Ebert.** Washington, March 15.—The democratic congressman's representative has been the following announcement: "On behalf of the democratic national committee, all southern Germany assures its support for the Ebert government. The Saxon, Bavarian and Wurtemberg and the Prussian legislatures favor the disposal of the old government and the old party spirit. In Wurtemberg, the cabinet has issued proclamations that the old government went to Stuttgart for a new seat according to the national assembly there. --- ### GERMAN REVOLUTION BELIEVED AT AN END *(Continued From Page One.)* From the embassy reports had come when the department closed. **Dispatch reported:** The state department had no official reports directly concerning the situation with the military in control and no word of any engagement. The department believed this afternoon, that the developments were largely summaries of press reports of developments in Germany near the German border. There was much indefinite discussion late in the department of the state's policies today as to the status of General Allen's forces in Germany in view of the fact that the American forces are on the Rhine in German occupation. Consternation was expressed as to what would be the attitude of General Allen in that situation as under the commander. The department officials thought that technically the marshal's authority extended into the zone of Allen's command. Other officials, how- ## Column 4 ever, held that the treaty of Versailles which governed the armistice had authority, at least so far as the American were concerned. **Academic Question.** In any case Secretary Baker's view appeared to make the question purely an academic one. He said General Allen was vested with authority from all American order in the field and any order which was given to allied forces would have to await specific approval from Washington. Military action by any of the occupying forces, it was pointed out, would be contingent upon development of the revolutionary change in Germany and the situation there. **Situation Obscure.** The current political situation in Germany, it was said, was so obscure as to defy diagnostic from an objective position until there was a settlement. There was little indication that the revolutionary movement had entirely failed, that for the present at least, General Allen would involve himself strictly in a maintenance of the status quo in his military section. The best that America could do in that difficult situation, it was thought, without interference or complications with German population may seek to make. The strike called in the American zone was troublesome evidence. General Allen's situation might become more intense. All that could be done, however, it was thought, he permitted to suffer the consequences of the strike rather than engage in stricter action. The special forces of the Allied armies, it was thought had the general resources necessary in such an emergency. It is believed the allies had taken the strike leaders against any acts during the pending strikes—for the situation was that of using the military troops and such civilians as he might consider necessary. **Germany Split.** In reviewing the German political situation as shown in press advices, the state department saw a split between northern and southern Germany in the events following the revolt against the Ebert government. The upper Spartacist movement as a result of the Berlin seizure by the Kapp reactionaries. Unity of the radical republicans was necessary in any event, it was pointed out. Different local governments seemed inclined to support different political theories and it was thought the general strike might work to further disorders and anarchy. **CROWDS DISPERSED.** Berlin, March 15.—Troops from all parts of Germany held the streets. Military action in the streets of that city did not show any spirit of justice, but that they were disorganized, just as the radical labor trade unions and the socialist parties had called for a new general strike. In Nuremberg there was a general strike and a general strike was proclaimed in Saxony. Conditions were favorable for today in Nuremberg. German Social Democrats declared the regular troops there are some 5,000 independent socialists gathering in Nuremberg and preparing for a labor workers basis attack. --- ### WILL STAND BY EBERT. Stuttgart, March 15.—The local Democracy's correspondent has been here and has announced: "On behalf of the democratic national committee, they all southern Germany assures it will support the Ebert government. The Saxon, Bavarian and Wurtemberg and the Prussian legislation was the disposal of the old government and the old government went to Stuttgart for a new seat at the national assembly there." --- ### TO REPRESENT OFFICE. Paris, March 15.—M. Doumers has been appointed French commercial official representative at Stuttgart, and M. Defrance, who has already been sent in Germany and will leave his present position and go to Coblenz. Mr. Hughes, the acting British secretary of the foreign office, said a visit by Lloyd George to Berlin and Belgian charge d'affaires here, and indicated the above news about the information, had learned by today that [illegible] --- ## Column 5 # FINANCIER SERIOUSLY ILL AT HIS HOME [Image of Vanderbilt] Brigadier-General [illegible] Vanderbilt is taken ill at his home in New York of influenza, according to reports received here. Rumors that the general's condition was alarming were denied by the family physician. General Vanderbilt is known about the world as a brigadier-general. --- had no chance to succeed, but still were considered likely to retain support of the country. This state of affairs was recognized in all its seriousness by the Ebert government. Therefore hope is entertained that an agreement will be reached and all the armies are trying to make use of wire entanglements, machine guns and armed troops. **Several Persons Killed.** Throughout this crisis the revolution has gone orderly it has not passed without the clash of arms and bloodshed in various cities fighting has occurred. particularly in Berlin. One soldier and one civilian were killed Monday and others wounded in the suburbs of Berlin, when rifles and machine guns were turned on the crowds. Twenty-four bombs were exploded in Munich, Monday night. Former Councillor Lattwitz, reactionary minister of defense, who did no damage and was tense about the attitude to the meetings held by General Luettwitz, for which Monday being arrested. **Traffic of Mandell.** Traffic of former municipal prices and rail traffic generally in Berlin was at extraordinarily high prices. Streetcars had been restored but[?] gas and electric light systems are still impaired. No newspapers appeared three days ago. The semi-official German press bureau contains only news pleasing to the government. The public is very skeptical of reports that Kapp and his associates had evacuated Berlin or that the forces used, he read the promise of the government to obtain a food supply, one person marked: "We are not so stupid as to believe that three-quarters of Germany has given up in twenty-four hours." **Old Government Favored.** Stocks, butter, whisky, rice and all racketeers and other garrisons are deteriorating. Recent government surveys show that resistance is found at only a few centers. The German people's party in Berlin and the German people's party in Bavaria, it is indicated, favored the Ebert government. In Frankfurt it is told government that all parties willing to co-operate in reconstruction of Germany shall be invited to collaborate. Amendments to the community of united districts governments also were reached not to recognize dissolution of the national assembly but refrain from declaring for or against the new administration. --- ### PERSHING'S ADMIRERS WANT TO ELECT HIM Lincoln, Neb., March 15.—A committee of admirers of General John J. Pershing to secure his nomination as a republican candidate for the presidency of the United States, have announced the filing with the secretary of state today of a petition to place the general's name on the April 20 primary ballot. R. T. Troyer, chairman of the committee, T. D. Fields, chairman of Pershing for president organization, stated that the supporters of General Pershing will accept the nomination "if the best interests of the people demand it." --- ### FIVE BRITAIN MANDATES ARE ALLOCATED MONDAY London, March 15.—Premier Lloyd George in the house of commons announced the following mandates had been allocated: German East Africa to Britain and Belgium. German West Africa and South Africa. German possessions in the Pacific ocean south of the equator other than the Samoan Islands. The Samoan Islands to New Zealand.
