BERLIN, Sunday, Jan. 12.-The gov
ernment has chosen to crush the revo-
lutionary movement by all the arts of
the most sanguinary warfare. The last
Two days have witnessed a tremendous
display of force by the government.
Recruiting of officers and men has
proceeded at high pressure throughout
the week. Men of all classes have been
pouring in in imposing numbers. Nor
have they seemed to lack anything in
the way Of munitions or equipment.
In fact, it looked ominously like a sec

Lesson to Revoluticnists
The government is unwilling to lose
the present chance of teaching the
revolutionists lesson by giving rein
to this formidable military machine.
The storming of the "Vorwarts"
building, which had been seized and
held by the revolutionists, was an ex-
ample of this.
1t was a regular battle, planned and
carried out, as it were, against an
enemy position. With the same disre
gard of human life, and even OF
humanity, the artillery, mine throwers
and hand grenades of the government
troops came into action, and the revo
lutionaries surrendered after heavy
losses and severe damage to the build
ing. More than 300 prisoners were led
away and roughly handled by the SOL
diery Some were said even to have
been shot without ceremony.
After this success the government
forces proceeded to storm other strong.
holds Of the revolutionists, especially
in the newspaper quarter, where fight
ing is still in progress, although it is
understood that efforts to arrive at
peaceful settlement have been re-
doubled by various political leaders.
Political Aspect Changed
To-day's events have profoundly
changed the whole aspect of German
politics. The formidable military
machine, which seemed crushed for
ever, has arisen again with astounding
rapidity. Prussian officers are again
strutting in the streets, with soldiers
shouting and shooting in obedience to
their command.
Indeed, Ebert and Schedemann have
very likely got more than they bar
gained for. Already there are signs
that the newly arisen military system
IS disposed to take the law into its
own hands. It remains to be seen how
long it will be content to remain the
mere instrument of the present govern

charged with violation Of General

These arrests have served to en-

order and have been deported to points
within the German lines.

seven of the dancers.
The peasantry, however, is not en-
tirely untouched by the new spirit,
although the Socialists among them
constitute a small minority. Some OF
the regulations imposed upon them by
the new regime are resented. For in
stance, the presence of delegates from
the workmen's councils at milking
hours, to see that an adequate GUAM
tity of milk is sent to the towns,
causes considerable irritation among
the farmers. The peasantry, in the
main. do not sympathizc with the ex-
, cesses committed in the towns, but at
the same time show no disposition to
serve the ends of the royalist reaction
aries.
No Sympathy for Wilhelm
Even in the country districts there
is apparently no desire to see a res
toration Of the monarchy. The humili-
ating end of the Hohenzollerns' re-
gime makes their return impossible,
and while there is no active antago-
nls!n toward him, there is also no SYM
pathy/tor the former KING Of Bavaria.
The great country mansions show no
sign of life. Through their iron gates
one sometimes glimpses machine
guns on the lawns. In the country,
as in the towns, the rich middle classes
are plunged into despondency. Per-
haps class prejudice tinctures their out
look, but they are certain that Ger
many's travail has but just begun and
that stability Of government and new
social order may be attained only
through bloodshed and tears.
In Nuremberg, as in Berlin and
Munich and other cities and towns,
workmen's councils constitute the only
effective governing authority. Lieb-

and see deep down into it's soul"
So I selected Nuremberg for the ex-
pertinent, because the stretch of coun-
try separating it from Munich is almost
entirely agricultural, and because of
the town itself and it's associations with
the Hohenzollerns and the ancient
Huns.
The latter fingered here little
while during their drive to the south
ward, and intermarried with the popu-
lation. Learned anthropologists pro-
fess to have discovered traces of Hun
ancestry in the features of the peas
ants. But this is just tradition. The
association with the Hohenzollerns
rests upon sufcr historical grounds.
The family lived here for more than
a century in Kaiserburg, before emf
grating to East Prussia. The ex-Kaiser,
Wilhelm II, with his half-mystical
half alf-melodramatic sense, liked to re-
visit the home of his ancestors. over

who advertises that she will vote the
