NIP fl PLOT FOR MUNICH REVOLT Berlin Announces Conspiracy to Make Ludendorff Dictator of Bavaria. INVASION BRINGS PROTEST I German Government Tells Paris French Military Operations Are Without Justice or ReasonRevolt Periled Republic. Berlin. April 9. —A great military conspiracy, which was to have been a Bavarian parallel io Hie recent Berlin revolution, has been discovered in Munich, it was announced here. Part of the plan was that General Ludendorff he made dictator over Bavaria ami Doctor Heim of the Bavarian separatists a sort of civil and economic dictator. A special session of the national assembly will be held Saturday. The call for the session was issued following a conference between the heads of the political parries and the government. The German charge d’affaires in Paris was instructed to hand to the French government a note protesting against the French occupation of Frankfort and other territory on the right bank of the Rhine. The note, after referring to the contents of the French note of April 5, notifying Germany that the occupation had been ordered, asserts that the occupation of the towns mentioned in the French eomnimiiealion occurred before the note was presented to the German government. “We must, in the name of justice, reason and humanity.” the German note continues, “make the sharpest protest against the action of the French army. It cannot possibly have been the intention of the treaty of Versailles to prevent Germany from restoring order as quickly as possible in the part of its territory most seriously disturbed by bands of robbers. “The movement in the Ruhr region, if It had not been quickly opposed, would have shaken the republic to its foundations both politically and economically. The German government would have acted inexcusably if it hail waited longer in the optimistic hope that the insurgent imvement in the Ruhr district would end without military intervention, ami events so far have shown that it was right. “Everywhere that the troops arrived the movement quickly collapsed and the fears expressed by the allies that the very entry would make the disturbances worse and lead to ine destruction of most important industrial works has up to the present not

proved justified.” 'Die note points out that alleged violations of the treaty must, under the by all the signatories on the allies’ side and not by a single one, acting independently. A proclamation addressed by the German government to tin* inhabitants of the towns occupied by the French was issued, k says: "Less than 14,000 troops have been collected in the Rhine district, or almost the exact number permitted by the agreement with the entente. Frame has regarded it as re.-mcilable with the state of peace to occupy flourishing German towns as a reprisal. The world’s peace hits never been more monstrously played with than it lias been just now by Fiance. -It is that hard hearted opponent which alone is responsible for making you tin 1 victim of this Shylock policy. The imperial government w ill do everything it can to shorten your period of suffering. It will not let Germany be shattered in this cunningly devised fashion.” Paris. April 9. —Germany's protest against France's occupation oj Frankfort, Darmstadt and other German cities was read at the meeting of the council of ambassadors. Ihe council instructed Premier Millerand to reply IO the Berlin government that the matter is being presented to the varioirs governments.

I then procured a box of your pills and took a double dose and the second day actually felt relieved. After a week I felt so good that J was glad to be alive. I continued using them for a time and they cured me. “This was fourteen years ago and I can truthfully say I have never yet been laid up with the same disease.

April 8. —The strike situa- । tlon is clearing, according to word from the 24 railroads affected by the walkout of the “insurgent” switchmen. This message was received from the General Managers’ association, reprei renting all the railroads. J. W. Higi gins, chairman of the association, said । that the railroads were able to bring I their business back to normal since the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen had sanctioned the importation of switchmen from other points on the lines. Simultaneously with the order of William (J. Let'.president of the Broth erhood ot Railway Trainmen, to smash tile out la w strike of switchmen in Chicago. comes the announcement from A. F. Whitney, president of the organization, that all striking members of the brotherhood on Ihe Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, will be expelled from the union unless they return to their jobs by Thursday nitid. Striking switchmen were told at the same time by .1. E. Gorman, president ot the Rock Island, that the> could not | possibly force the owners of the roads । to imrea^e their wages because these I owners will- receive full wartime com jpensat ion from the government fori their property until September 1. 1929. "'lhe men ihinkthev will compel the | । roads to give them more pay by tying | HR the traffic,” ho said, “but they ought I to know that the owners receive just I jus niiidi compensation during a strike] i as if there was not a strike. "The ones who lose by Ihe strike are ; tlie men themselves, and the taxpay 1 I CIS who must pay Ilie deficit of the roads if there is one until next ^epI tember.
