IN the courtyard Of the castle the

Amsterdam. Karl Liebknecht, Ra-
dical, has emerged victor over Chan
cellor Ebert, Moderate, in a three
days struggle in Berlin. AS in the
previous revolutionary combats, the
struggle between the two rebel wings
has been comparatively bloodless, but
the future is fraught with crimson
dangers, for the Radicals, now in
complete power, have written upon
their banner; "The end justifies all
means" The affairs of all Germany
rest for the moment in the hands of
the Berlin Workmen and Soldiers
Council, which has wrested all power
from the Ebert Government. The
Chancellor and his Ministers are re-
duced to figure heads. Simultaneous
ly with the specter of the Red terror
another has arisen ON the horizon of
the strffe-swept former empire a def
mite split between North and South
Germany and consequent civil war.
The South German States, Bavaria,
Prussia's arch foe, in the lead, have
served an ultimatum on the Berlin
Government that if it is found inn
possible at a conference in the capi-
tai to re-establish unity throughout
the land Bavaria, Wuerttemberg,
Hesse and Baden will secede from
Northern Germany and form a repub-
lie uniting the states of South Ger
many with German Austria. The eli
max of the struggle between the Spar
tacus (radicaD group and the Moder-
ates came when a document was
signed between them which Berlin dis.

'Moderates signed away virtually all
