STAGED BY GERMANS TO
 SCARE ENTENTE

PARIS. April 1.--R)-Confidential reports received here during the past few days indicate that the Hun. garian revolution is Q well-managed affair pulled off under the skilful direction of German amissaries. Documents seized by allied agents show that the revolt was partly due to maneuver of Count Karolyi leader of the Hungarian liberals. in conjunction with Germany.
 The revolution. it Is claimed. was fomented and brot to . successful conclusion with the idea of fright. ening the allies into the belief that Germany. also. might disintegrate even more rapidly than did Hun. gary. It seems to have been held by the Germans that. if the allies were convinced that a Bolshevist government was about to be estab. lished In Germany. the peace con. ference would offer lenient terms to the present socialist regime in an effort to prevent a further spread of that movement. The entire move ment Is now believed to have been aimed directly at the allies.
