 Berlin, Nov. A, (By the Associated Press) )-Dr. Karl Liebnicht, the radi- cal socialist leader, is devoting himself primarily at present to an effort to influence the men returning from the front. His henchmen comprise small army of Red soldiers who are accused of packing various meetings sufficiently to secure the majority necessary to push through resolutions and other measures calculated to em- barrasS the present government.
 Soldiers Voice DisapprovaI.
 
 official propaganda of the Spartacus group of extreme radicals. He chief-. ly directs his attaelxs at the proposed assembly. The indications so far however ar ethat his efforts to win over the returning soldiers has failed absolutely, and yesterdays meeting was marked by the violent opposi- tior of soldiers who are declared to have been attra cted to the meeting under false pretences.
 Appeals to Proletariat.
 The radical leaders oratory is forceful and vindictive. His principal appeal is to the proletariat. Did the bourgeoisie while in power permit you to have a voice in the govern merit he will ask. No, he an swers: then the workingman must not allow it to have a say now. We need a gov ernment of soldiers and workmen one typifying the proletar- fat which will not have to bow down before the Entente.
 "There must be no pickering with Entente imperialism. We will dis pose of that just as we did of the German autocracy. The revolution is bound also to reach the Entente countries but we who made the Rus sians waste whole years, are demand ing the revolution break out in Eng land and France within "A hours.
 Rosa Luxem burg is ably seconding Dr. Liebknecht. Her Oratory is of the loquacious and fire-eating brand. The Spartacus group metings are lnvarl- ably attended by numerous women.
 The irony of the situation lies in the fact that the freedom of speech and press for which the social demo- crats have been clamoring now is proving the chief source of menace to the new government
 Tried to Rob General.
 An attempted robbery recently of 6O,OOO,00O marks belonging to the treasury of Field Marshal von Mack ensen's army is charged against mem- bers Of the Spartacus faction. When the car containing the funds reached the railway station here a few days ago it was taken over by a detach- ment of Red -badged soldiers claiming to represent the Berlin soldiers and workmen's government The funds had reached Berlin under a strong guard and the unexpected demand made upon the station crew caused suspicion and led to an investigation by secreet service men. Despite apol- ogies to the effect that misunder- standing was responsible for the at tempted seizure the Red guards were interned at police headquarters. Their arrest occasioned considerable resent ment among the ultra radicals. They held a meeting which was addressed by Dr. Liebknecht and organized for the rescue A squad raided police
 NI, <J ICTh succeeded in obtaining the release or the men implicated on the pretext that they were held as political pris- oners.
 Won Mackensen's army now is on it's way through Austria for Germany. Part of it's treasure was sent in ad- vance and word of it's coming had apparently leaked out.
