PREMIER EEERT'S GOVERNMENT IS REGARDED AS OF VERY UNI

 The greater part Q, the population the cores pondent adds, is apathetic toward the revolution. lie believes that with better food conditions and the revival of hopes, the true nation al character of the Germans will re appear
 The soldiers and workers council in the lower Rhiueish province inylud- ing those at Dusseldorf Solingau and RemschciJ. nave accepted the pro gram of the Sparatacus group by a biS majority, according to dispatches re- ceiycd here today
 The council Of I3runsWick has adopt e unanimously a resolution opposing constituent assembly and deelariug that the need of the hour is a national soldiers and workers council
 A dispatch form Karlsruhe to the Vossiche ZeitUng of Berlin, however, pres sents a hopeful picture Of the slt- uation in Baden, where a state con siiuent assembly will meet January j to adopt constitution
 The entire population of Baden this says demands that national as hemhly for Germany be summoned quickly. The new cabinet of Baden consists of seven socialists. two cler- icals, one national liberal, and One pro gressiYe.
