RED RISING IN GERMANY PROVES
AS F T ILE AS. T O PREVWW S ATTEMPTS
Third Successive Spring Attempt ' to Incite R, volution
Among the German Masses Fails, Although Many
Lives Are Lost.
Berlin Marchi 27. -The pale 1±,w.¢ter
Elise were flecked with canteen in
Germany to -dray, 1'he nasty creek of
rifles and the staccato tapping of ma-
chine guns and the deeper denonation,s
of hand grenades -even the amnion -
al /mane rear of cannon, mingled with
the Easter music and disputed with
the Easter bells that this was 'a joyful
day.
It, its a "Red .Easter" in Germany..
Silent forms covered with red -
blotch -ed white sheets in temporary Morgues
and little mounds over fresh g'r'aves
in different parts of the country area.
eloquent .. evidence of a bloody civil
strife and that durable paaee has not
yet returned to the Fatherland.
The third successive annual Spring
attempt to resurrect the red fire:* of
revolution among the German masses
and turn Germany into a seemed Rus-
sia has proven as futile as the other
two.
The G+ovsrrnnient expeetsests conf2-,
dente that the crest of the Red wave
is passed and will quickly subsiii e.
For a few hours there was concern
lest the e;::knetie reel g,icn'rits should
'carry at to juin hands
i vi'^h the extreme ea dsals, thereby
tu•rx:ing the irersement into a mationa1
• Baldwin]_m. But the aisarchsbic and
terrori:;tic r i tlieds of the radicals ap-
pear to her v e put an end to whatever
eleenee there may have been foe such
a et:, whinetion.
'11 geiensal feeling en one hand is
that tory attempt to turn Germany
into 4 Seelet republic at this time is
a hopeless undertaking. On the cthe'r
hated the sanity and 'common !s:¢nee of
the greater majority of the working
moven who heeded warning of the trade
union leaders not to follow the siren
call of the radicals for a general
strike, doomed the movement from the
very start.
There is li'btle doubt that if the
Sociali!tic Prussian 'Government had
not allowed itself to be surprised and
had overcome its doctrinal antipathy
to the use at once of the necessary
force, which it now findts its•elf coan-
pelled to apply, the movement would
have been quickly smotber'ed.

Parleys.
A despatch from Pawls says: -In -
geed of the one billion marks gold
which it is demanded that Germany
pay before March 23, the Reparations
Commission has received a lontg note
-in German. This notesaid three
things:
First -Germany did not owe the
money asked for.
Second -If she did owe it she
couldn't pay it.
Third -However, Bea -lin waitlet talk.
it over with the allies.
The Reparation Commission drafted
a, reply to Berlin saying Germany
could not question the figures of the
commission and had not met the de-
mands to fulfill the treaty terms. The
commission sent to the allied Govern-
ments notification that Germlany had
failed to fulfill the reparation terms
of the treaty, and advising action.
Under the treaty Germany was
pledged to pay 20 billion marks be-
fore May 1 when and how the Com-
mission of Reparation should decide.
Against this sum Germany was to be
credited with deliveries of property to
the allies after the armistice. Several
months 'ago Germany announced she
had paid 20 billions. One seer rth ago'
the Repa'rattions Commission complet-
ed its valuation and announced Ibat
Gernttatty hard paid eight bii1i.ons, and
thus owed 12 billions more, and on
March 15 sent Germany notice to pay
ep before May 1.
The German note stated that Berlin
could not accept the Reparations Com-
mission valuation of its payments,
that Berlin estimated 20 billion marks
had been paid, and therefore it owed
neither the one billion asked for on
March 23 nor the eleven more asked
for by May 1. The note says Ger-
many is ready to present further argu-
ments that it has paid up.
Officials of the Reparations Com-
mission state that the commission was
sovereign, and that its figures stood.
Therefore, Germany is in the position
of refusing to fulfill the treaty.

CITY. OF TOKIO
SWEPT B Y FIRE
Thousands I-loneless and 133
Persons Injured in Japanese
Capital:
Tokio, March 27. -The whole city
of Tokio was imperilled last night by
the greatest fire with which it has
been visited in a decade.
.The conflagration destroyed 1,000
houses •]rr the Yotsuya district, in the
northwestern part of the city, involv-
ing, a loss estimated at twenty-five
million yen (normally about $12,500;
000). Thousands of persons were
made homeless, and 133 persons were
injured. The burned buildings in-
cluded three hospitals, a bank and
several Iangc business houses.
For four hours during the night a
violent, biting wind drove the litanies
in the direction of the heart of the
city, causing a panic among the popu-
lation over a wide area. Four thou-
sand troops aided the firemen in com-
bating the blaze, but it was only
when the force of the wind let down
.notably that their effects to control
the,.,fire. were. rewarded. with success.

Rocking in of sightseers from other

fugitives fleeing from the flames bore
infants strapped to their •backs. The

restraining incipient panics.
As'a measure of relief the Imperial

thing, like a crass between a floating
buoy end a submarine, and are equip-
ped to ring bells, shoot off skyrockets,

-A Startling Innovation.
Wherever, in any part of Ontario,.
twenty or more persons wish to pro-
ceed to a University de -gree without
discontinuing their employment, facil-
ities to accomplish their ambition are
offered by the Provincial University
so far as its finances and the size of
its staff will permit.
For years the University of To-
ronto has had special arrangements -
to enable teachers to secure higher
academie qualifications and the degree
of B.A. without giving up their teach-
ing positions. At the Murch meeting.
of the University Senate these ar-
rangements were extended and adapt-
ed to meet the needs of people 'engaged
in 'any ordinary eniploymer.t. With
only certain absolutely indispensable
regulations as to size of classes, con-
trol
ontrol of staff, suitable equipment for
scientific !subjects, and with only ordi-
nary ttniversdty fees prescribed, the
opportunity is offered for the estab-
lishment of what may be virtually lo-
cal colleges affiliated with the Provin-
cial University. The course thus offer-
ed is the "pass" CZ "general" course,
th:e subjects of 'the first year being
English, Latin, French, algebra and
geometry (one paper), trigonometry,
and science, and those of the second,
third, -and fourth years being English,
French, science end any two of Ms -
tory, psychology, and political
economy.
This departure is in accord with the
well-known democrat'c policy of On
toile's University. Its deeign is to
snake the advantages of higher educa-
tion available throughout the Univer-
rity's entire constituency. This is no
"cheapening" of university education,
foe university teaching and examine -
tons will be maintained at the tradi-
tional high standard, but it does bring
iigher education to the people's doors
-especially to the doors of those
adults who have, for any reason, fail-
ed to avail thernselv's of youth's op-
portunity for learning. To obtain a
B.A. degree will involve just as much
work as it ever did, but the extraneous
obstacles have been removed.
It is such innovations as this, along
with the notable work that has been
and is being done in the regular way,
that entitle the Un&veereity of Toronto
to the most generous. supp,rt of the
Provincial Government" '
