A greater part of south Germany,

An independent republic also has

Ebert Overthrow.
London Nov 25.--This morning
London newspapers display proml-
nently the German advices regarding
the agreement between the soldiers
and workmen's council and the gov
eminent, which is regarded as de-
yelopment of the greatest importance
and as tantamount to the overthrow
of the Ebert-Haase combination ana
the adoption, at least theoretically OF
the existing Russian system.
1t is admitted that the German
councils have not yet developed the
extrava gances which led to the disln-
tegration and anarchy in Russia me
councils not being dominated by the
Bolshevik element
The Daily Mail while pointing OUT
the analogy of the developments IN
Russia, suggests that the new step Is
n part of "big bluff" aimed at per-
suading the allies that the old Ger
many is defunct.
The Daily Express, also thinks TIE
menace is possibly exaggerated FOR
the purpose of impressing the allies
of the difficulties of the position.

measures calculated to embarrass the
present government.
DR.. Iiebknecht's agitation Is the
official propaganda of the spartacus
group of extreme radicals. He chiefly
directs his attacks at the proposeu
national assembly. The indications
however, are that his effort to WIN
over the returning soldiers has talled
absolutely and yesterdays meeting
was marked by the violent opposition
of soldiers.
The radical leaders principal ap-
peal is to the proletariat.

The Spartacus group meetings are IN
