COMMUNISM THREAT ROLLS THRU RUHR (By S. D. Weyr) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) BERIAN, May 25.—A red wave of communism today threatened to roll through the Ruhr as the result of French military occupation. Heavy fighting was reported from Gelsinkirchen and Dortmund, six persons being killed and seventy wounded in the former city. Word was received from Dortmund this afternoon that 35 persons were in the hospital, many of them severely injured. The total death list is said to be about nine. Communists are in control of Gelsinkirchen, but the situation at Dortmund has calmed down. Reds at Gelsinkirchen stormed all public buildings, applying the torch to those they could not hold. They were assisted by the absence of police, the regular force having been disbanded by the French some weeks ago. French troops, instead of alding the German citizens, adopted an attitude of "benevolent neutrality." The determination of the Reds to unloose chaos was shown by their conduct after occupying the Gelsenkirchen police headquarters. They seized all the records and threw them into the street from the windows. According to authoritative information this afternoon, danger of a general strike throughout the Ruhr is rising. The rank and file of the German workers are anti-Red. Peverish activity was reported on the part of the communists at Bochum, but no word of fighting has been received from there.

Thornburgh) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, May 25.—Responsibility for the alarming desertion rate in the navy was laid at the door of the naval officers by Captain R., H. Leigh, U. S. N., in an official statement issued today by the navy department. After presenting statistics to show that since 1916, 93,717 men had deserted or were discharged without honor, Captain Leigh made a sharp attack upon training methods at the naval academy. "In my opinion," Captain Leigh declared, "Jack of training for midshipmen in handling men is responsible for a large part of avoidable deserts." "The midshipmen go into the service with the idea that an enlisted man is in a class below the "plebeo" and generally treat them accordingly." He advocated a thorough course in personnel management for all naval cadets and a keener appreciation of the human element.

Wilbur Glenn Voliva, Zion City's "overseer," who has ruled the Zionites for a score of years with a hand of iron, is proposing to inject the "Rule of God into every department of the government." The recent installation of a mayor and five aldermen at Zion City was made the occasion of the first public reading of the planks of the Theocratic platform, which, among others, names the Ten Commandments as one. The platform was read by Mayor W. H. Clendinen, outgoing and incoming mayor, who boasts of the distinction of having been mayor probably for a longer period than any other person in America.
