Berlin, Sunday, Nov. 24.-(By Tha
Associated Press DIR. Karl Ideb-
knecht, the radical Socialist leader,
is devoting himself primarily at
present in an effort to Influence the
men returning from the front. HIS
henchmen comprise a small army OF
Red soldiers who are accused OF
packing various meetings sufficient
ly to secure the majority necessary
, TO push through resolutions and 9TH
er measures calculated to eTnbarras5
the present government.
Liebkneeht Red Program Fails.
DR.. IAebknecht's agitation in its
entirety is the official propaganda
Of the Spartacus group of extreme
radicals. He chiefly directs his al
tacks at the proposed national ass
sen1bly. The indications so far,
however, are that his effort TO win
over the returning soldiers has fail
ed absolutely and yesterdays meet
ing was marked by the violent OPP
position of soldiers who are declared
to have been attracted to the meeting
under false pretences.
The radical leaders oratnry is
forceful and vindictive. His prim-
cipal appeal is to the proietariat.

We need a government of soldiers
and workmen, one typifying the pro-

German autocracy. The revolution

Philip Schiedenrann; in Vor-
waerts, declares that the insecurity
OF the government may be reduced
from the undisturbed activity OF the
Spartacus faction, "who in thear
.DTess.. their pamphlets and theW
meetings are endeavoring to win
over the soldiers for Bolshevisra.
The irony OF the situation lies I'm
the fact that the freedom Of speech
and of the press for which the So
ciaI Democrats have been clamortng
now is proving the chief source OF
menace to the new government.
Tried TO. Steal Army Funds-
An attempted robbery recently OF
$50 600 600 marks belonging to the
treasury of Field Marshal Won Mack

members of the Spartacus faction.
