Naval graft probe widens at Great Lakes station
March 3 naval authorities prepared to draft charges against several men after a death bed confession by Samuel Moss aka Muscovits who jumped to his death. Moss implicated Great Lakes sailors and petty officers in a graft scheme tied to discharge papers and furloughs. A number of detained men include T. Dynette J. Moffet J. Markoski B. Carpenter H. Chase and Fred Nel with Chicago residents molested by Moss and two lure girls who targeted prosperous looking sailors in Chicago lobbies. The confession reportedly names additional officers and warrants further inquiry.

Berlin Faces General Strike Threat Amid Assembly Delay
Berlin March 2 report from Alfred G. Anderson says the postponement of the Prussian national assembly meeting is tied to a looming general strike. Workers demand wage uniformity, seizure of fortunes, cancellation of public debts, expropriation of banks and industries, abolition of parliaments, and a revolutionary tribunal. Officials fear unrest, while the Weimar cabinet negotiates to avert violence and defend democracy. Strong military patrols and a citizens council oppose the strike, with Spartacist Red Flag warning about disarmament if troops stay neutral. The government vows to fight terrorism and nationalize mines while promising to defend democratic governance.
