suffice. 1t will, no doubt be performed

REVOLT SPREADS FAST
WITH LITTLE VIOLENCE

London-AccorNng to the DIS
patches from Amsterdam to Copenha-
gen. the revolution In Germany is ex'
tending rapidly but in most places the
desired effect is being achieved with
out violence or serious disorders.
In some places, notably in Anhalt,
Hesse. Darmstadt and Mecklenburg'
Schwerin, the princely houses are co.
operating with the reforming parties
in establishing new order of things.
Up to the present the most serious
confii~ has taken place in Kiel. The
soldiers and workmen's councils in
most OF the large cities appear to be
devoting their first efforts to organic
ing the food supplies, foreseeing that
any lack of provisions in this respect
will prove fruitful source of disor-
der. Complaints already have been
heard in Berlin that the press cen
sorship is being exercised as arbl'
trarily by the new as by the old re-
gime.
