The Spartacans ap parently held the waterworks and power plants resulting in much of the city being without water and light. i The government is estimated i to 1 ve more than 80,000 troops under arms at strategic points thruout the country. Students in Berlin were re- ported to be organizing a cavalry to j aid the government.

Record ap propriations for the expansion of America's foreign commerce and for research work to aid Industries at home, were carried in the legislative- executive-judicial appropriation bill introduced in the house today by Rep resentative Byers, Tennessee. The bill also carried a J21.000.000 fund for Internal Revenue Commis sioner Roper's income and profit 'tax dodger drive" in addition to an other $5,000,000 to enable Roper to extend his organization. The state department Is given au thority to hire 100 more employes to handle growing diplomatic business and the census bureau is given $15, 000,000 for the next census.

The $120 annual saltry- raise to government employes getting less than $2,500 annually is continued for another year with a proposal for a Joint committee to inquire Into the salary question. The sums put Into the hands of Sec retary of Commerce Redfield will be used largely In hiring trade experts to extena American trade Into the Orient as well as in Europe and South America, Byrne told the committee. SEND NO TROOPS United States Does Sot Intend To Take Force to Berlin. Officials Feel That Such an Act Would Cause Trouble. Washington, Jan. 10. The Ameri can government has no present Inten tion of sending its forces to Berlin. That fact was learned on high of- i ffcial authority today In the wake of the Prussian capital revolution and j the new hints that doughboys would be welcomed. The propaganda In favor of Ameri can occupation emanates mainly from the middle of the road group, i The United States government, however, believes that intervention internation ally now would provoke trouble rather than settle it. WhUe early advices indicate a trend toward defeat of the Liebknecht group, it is pointed out here that the Spartacus men as the aggressive force, are seeking to dominate the coming elections, even tho past tests have shown they constitute a minority. Should the Spartacus group gain con trol, indemnities will be refused, it is said, and the only way to collect them will be by force.

Washington, Jan. 10. Congression al agitation for action against the war risk insurance bureau came to a head today when Chairman Pou called the house rules committee together for a hearing on the McFadden resolution f investigate the bureau. Pou's -action follows months of charges that the bureau is "inef ficient," "criminally negligent" and "extravagant." CoL Henry D. Lindsay, recently made head of the bureau, .according t. friends in congress, will not oppose the investigation and may even re quest the rules committee to author ize it. I Republicans and Democrats, who want the investigation may hope, thru it, to show: The reasons why thousands of al lotments have been delayed or never paid at all, and why rules for con version of the insurance of discharged soldiers have not been promulgated two month3 after signing tne arroi. stice. Whether political favorites have been given high administrative places in the war risk bureau while experi enced men ave been put to work in minor Jobs, paying from $1,800 to 12.500 a year. McFadden came before the rules committee today prepared to back his demand for an investigation with-let-I i ters from enlisted men, mothers and wives of soldiers. Red Cross workers and from some officials of the bureau itself. "From your experience, you know' how many complaints there are against this bureau," McFadden told the committeemen. "The mail of every congressman is literally flooded with them- "Congress passed the war risk in surance act and appropriated millions of dollars with the thought that it had done' a srreat conservative piece of work, hut the law has been admin istered miserably.

Lancisiev acimittea mat ne nan not t ill rr-n IN BERLIN STREETS MmAim x GOES TO ENGLAND Honor of Fathering Wilson's -Leagne Plan Is Theirs. Plans of the War Cabinet May isW Finally Be Adopted. Fans, Jan. 10. The- British may have the honor or fathering the aefi nite plan, for application of President Wilson's' principle of a league of na tions. The impression was grow in er here today that plans formulated by mem bers of the British war cabinet may finally be adopted by the peace con- ference. It is known that the Ameri can delegates are sympathetically studying ideas advanced by the Brit ish officials and it is believed, the president, who has formed his own plan, is inclined toward the British program. Added strength has been given to this view by the fact that Lord Cecil, assistant secretary of state for for eign affairs, who long ago took an advanced attitude on this subject, is engaging in constantly lengthening conferences with the American repre sentatives. Other influential members of the British cabinet also submitted data regarding the league of nations, which the Americans are' studying thoroly, and with growing approval. Cecil's plans, it is known, contem plate far more power for the league than has been suggested from other allied sources. It is bellved, also, that he is inclined toward Wilson's atti tude, that Germany should be ad mitted to probationary membership. Cecil has often expressed the view that formation of the league is the most important and should be the first work of the peace conference.

TO BE PROPOSED Senator Thompson Wants One Built Facing State House. Would Relieve Crowded Offices in Two Buildings. TO ASK BIG APPROPRIATION At Least 9200,000 Will Be Sought in Legislature. Reno Senator Thinks Kansas Can Afford Building. Erection of a state department of Justice building overlooking the state house square is the' plan of Senator Will S. Thompson, of Reno county. Senator Thompson proposes to relieve the present congested condition of the state house by construction of a new state building. He will urge an ap propriation for $200,000 to $250,000 for purchase of a site and construc tion of the building. For several years state departments have been cramped owing to the crowded condition of the state .house. Not only has the state house been overcrowded, but office spaces in the State Memorial hall have been utilized to meet demands. During the recon struction of the east wing of the state house, several departments were forced to seek space in uptown office Buildings. Quarter for Supreme Court. Senator Thompson's measure will doubtless provide for the removal of the supreme court, the state public utilities commission and the state li brary to the department of justice building. This plan would release a large amount of space on the third and fifth floors of the state house for general department use. The" new building would afford modern offices for supreme court Jus tices and members of the public utili ties commission as well as providing bearing rooms In keeping with the dignity of a supreme court. Senator xnompson would locate the new de partment building somewhere over looking the state house square. Ask for Bi Appropriation. "I believe the state of Kansas can well afford to provide a modern and suitable- building fox the supreme court and the public utilities -commission," said Senator Thompson. "Such a building--might cost from $200,000 to $250,000, but it is a mere drop In the oucKec in expense and wonld probably cost the ordinary taix payer about a dime or a quarter. The bene fit to the state would be great. Con gestion in the state house would be re lieved and the state would possess a department of Justice building that would be a credit to the state. The building ought to overlook the state house square. I believe a measure providing for such a building 'would pass both houses."
