AMSTERDAM, Dec. 10.- Berlin, Munich
and other cities in various parts of Ger-
many. are reported to be again the scenes
of upheavals ranging from demonstrations
to violent street < lashes. The Ebert gov-
ernment has the dissemination of all tier- )
man news well in hand, and being anxious
to keep the Impression alive that the Gei-
mans are finding their way to law and
order, it is materially restricting the re-
porting of the situation.
Dispatch^ today were meager and vague,
but they indicated Liebknecht's extremist j
movement has gained a new lease of U,?.'
ufter the fiasco ol its threatened terrorist
"revolution" last Friday. Berlin is under
martial law. Llebknecht has announced his
party will overthrow the Kbert govern-
ment "within a fortnight." Correspondents
generally agree that so far all efforts to
introduce the red terror in Germany have
been utterly futile.

being exercised by temporary or perman-
ent governmental agencies.
Taking Over of Plants Not Planned.
The President would be authorized to
designate such agencies as he may see fit
to make use of the powers granted in the
bill, in whole, or in part.
The taking over of any packing house
plants is not contemplated. The proposed
legislation offers an alternative, at the dis-
cretion of the President, either to actually j
acquire and operate the machinery and fa j
< illtles for marketing, transporting and |
storing packing house products, or acquire
them for the Fnited States Government j
and license their operation; or without nc- !
quiring them, t<> place the meat packing '
Industry under .• system of direct Federa;
license.
Authority would be given .to acquire and
operate rolling stock especially equipped
for the transportation of live stock and
Its products as well as stock yards, cold
storage and freezing plants and the neces-
sary appurtenances thereto.
Alternatively, the power is given the
President to acquire and license the opera-
tion of such property. A third possible
plan permitted by the bill would be to
license the use of such facilities without
acquiring them.
$500,000,000 Fund Provided.
A final alternative looks to the licensing
of all persons, partnerships and corpora-
tions engaged in meat packing in inter-
state commerce with respect to the opera-
tion of that business and with respect to
any interest, direct or indirect, which the |
licensee may have in any other sort of in-
terstate commerce.
A revolving fund of $500,000,000 is pro-
vided for, to be used by one or more cor-
porations to be created for the adminis-
tration of proposed regulatory measures.

lace that It was needless to work any
longer. With the removal of the restraint
exercised by the presence of the German
troops, the overwrought nerves of the
people seemed to have given way and they
went out to take forcibly wjiat they were
unable to buy.
The regular police were unable to handle
the situation and 3,000 of the citizens were
called and armed by the buergermelster
to maintain order. A fight between the
rioters and this civil guard resulted In
several of the rioter* being killed. The
buergermelster, finding that the conditions
continued to be grave, then applied to the
armistice commission to hasten the allied
occupation.
The troubles ceased with the appearance
of the troops yesterday. Today a cordon of
Itritlsh forces was through out from the
city along the Rhine.
Affairs In Cologne now are moving
smoothly to all outward appearance. Buer-
germelster Adenauer, however, told the
correspondent that the city was facing star-
vation, as only one week's supply of food
was In sight. Other German t itles, he de-
clared, were In equally dire straits, being
unable to obtain food quickly and not
knowing what might happen as the result
of the scarcity, while fresh supplies, he
declared, could be obtained only from the
allied countries.
"We have been enemies, but for the lovn
of humanity come to our aid now," the
buergermelster urged, vehemently.
At least one of the best-known Cologne
hotels today was serving an excellent and
plentiful luncheon. It goes without saying,
however, that the possession of food by
this palatial hotel is no proof that the
measure.

(Staff Correspondent of I nlversal Service.)
PARIS, Dec. 10.-— President Wilson's re-
ception here will be entirely French. From
the moment be lands at Brest, he will
be considered a guest of the French re-
public,
The reception will have a civilian char-
acter. as will all the ceremonies to be ar-
ranged for the American executive here.
Mr. Wilson will be received here ;>s a
great statesman and diplomat rather than
as the commander In chief of the second
largest navy and an Important army.
Expected to Visit Front.
The President i* expected t<> visit the
front and may inspect troops of the army
of occupation.
Every possible precaution is being taken
for the President's safety. Full protec-
tion will \be assured against demonstra-
tions becoming too effervescent. A mill
tary guard composed of picked poilus
will be stationed at the Parisian "white
house."
The American army appreciates that
attempts to participate in the formalities
would be inopportune, the French being
oiijer to show the visitor every hospitality,
*i*d Paris being well experienced in receiv-
ing official guests.
Nevertheless, the American authorities
are taking every precaution to safeguard
the President. The American secret serv
be is actively co-operating with the
French detective force.
FrcncJi Radicals Enthusiastic.
French radical elements are particular-
ly enthusiastic at Mr. Wilson's coining.
" It is not believed the President will pass
troops in review until he reaches the
fronts, when probably both the French
and Americans will arrange honorary pa-
rades.
Work preliminary to the peace confer-
ence will begUi Immediately after Presi-
dent Wilson has finished his official call,
probably by December 10, though It Is
possible there will be a delay because
Premier Lloyd tJeorge may be detained
by the British elections.
It Is regarded as unlikely that there
will be any meetings at Versailles before
the first of the year. Only few plenary
sessions will be required, it is believed,
for the settlement or the delicate inter al-
lied problems. The bulk of the peace work
will be done at the conferences tn Paris.
The mornings probably will be taken
up with formal meetings at President Wil-
son's, Colonel House's or others residences.
The procedure will be much the same as
during the armistice deliberations, in the
afternoon's formal meetings nre expected
to be held in the French ministry.
Ofrm»ny Last to Be Consulted.
The smaller allies will be called in
only when their particular problems are
discussed. After everything is agreed upon
the terms will be ratified at a solemn
session at Versailles. Inter-allied discus
slons are expected to lest until the end
of February, at least. Then the German
delegates will be allowed to come to Paris,
thoOgh they will not be consulted until
the allies and America are fully agreed
among themselves. It is believed next
May will be the earliest poselble time
for the final peace signature.

sterdam correspondent says signs are in-
creasing that the Germans are endeavor-
ing to play off the T'nited States against
the other allied countries on the initiative

Telegraph, food is rather plentiful in Ber-
lin. Only prices are high.
