over the rapid spread Of the doctrine
that the working classes must rrle
absolutely.
The general strike which began III
Switzerland this week is said to be
a part Of the widespread movement
and to have been melted by the Boil
shevik organization in Russia.
Some German newspapers and some
in neutral countries warn the 2llie3
not to push Germany to the wall lest
she is driven into Bolsnevil1ism and
anarchy Some English newspapers
consider this as German propaganda
to gain leniency. Others insist that
there is real danger that the bloody
scenes that have transpired in Rus
sia may be reenacted in Germany
Some British newspapers declare that
the German army should be deprived
0. all arms in the interests of Ger

rests in the hands Of the majority So
, cialists and the non-Bolshevik indie
peEdents according to a Berlin dis
patch by way of Copenhagen. The dis
patch adds that the soldiers repre-
sentatives at the meeting of the Sol
ciers and Workmen's Council Sun
day theoretically opposed the plans of
the Bolshevik element
That there is dissention already be-
tween the BOlshevik and non-Bolshe-
Vik members of the new German So
cialist government is indicated by a
dispatch from Copenhagen which says
that the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin an
nounces that it has obtained the pro-
lection of the government against the
Bolshevik group which seized the pa
per and renamed it the Red Ban
ner.' The Lokal Anzeiger has resum-
ed It's old title
a dispatch to the Exchange Te,e-
Graph Company from Copenhagen says
that the demands Of the Independent
Soci5l3ts, in Germany which have
been accepted by the ma tority So
cialists include the provision that po-
litical power shall be in the hands of
The Soldiers and Workman's Council
which shall be summoned in plenary
assembly to represent the whole coun-
try as soon as possible The dispatch
says that the question of a constitu-
ent assembly will not arise until af-
ter consolidation of the institutions
formed by the revolution.

The Socialist Vorwaerts of Berlin
describes the German armistice condi-

conditions and execute them Loyalty.
The treaties have been signed and
must be accepted. 1t will be the task
Of the new government to conclude
rapidly the best peace possible"

war loan have reached 100000
marks.
