TRUCE WITH RUSSIA
LEADS TO SERIOUS
CLASH IN GERMANY
Majority Socialists and lmpe'
rial Government at Odds,
Radio Message Shows.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2l.-"serious
difficulties" between the Imperial
German Government and the ma
jOrity Socialists habe resulted from
the conclusion OF an armistice with
Russian Maximalists, the Committee
on Public Information learned to-day
in radio message from Lyons,
France
German military authorities, the
message says, are strongly opposing
Socialist assemblies and are doing ali
within their power to thwart an ex-
pansion of the Socialist movement.
The message Is quoted from Zurich
dispatches to a French news agency:
Word comes from Berlin that the
conclusion. OF the armistice with the
Maximalists has. as a first effect, pro-
duced serious difficulties between the
Imperial Government and the majority
Socialists The latter, in fact advertise
openly their ideas about peace condi-
tions and those tendencies of which the
Pan -Germanists and the militarists
complain. Numberless Incidents have
occurred The prohibition Of the meet
ing arranged for last Sunday in Berlin
by the majoritists Is not an isolated
case.
THE communication OF the Social
ist Party in the protest that was ad-
dressed to the Imperial Chancellor
mentioned a large number of abuses
committed by military authorities
against the right OF holding meetings
The Pan -Germanists. on the Other
hand, reproach the Social Democra'
majority for their anti-national at
tltude. They complain, notably. o.

acant passage:
