Berlin, April 2o.-The present
German government is playing into
the hand of the reactionaries and
nilitarists who expect to over
throw the republic and re- establish
the monarchy as soon as the allied
armies are demobiIized, Emil
Barth, radica! leader charged in an
interview with the United Press
today.
Barth, who was a member Of the pro
Visional cabinet, just completed
three months tour of Germany, study.
ing developments and determing the
strength of the workmen.
The threatened monarchst rev.
oution may be aVerted, he said, by
popular uprising which would
result in establishing proIetari
at Dictatorship. Among other
statements made by Rarth was
that:
Germany can ard should pay for
the destruction she wrought.
There is already enough food in
Germany, if it were fairly dstrib-
uted.
France is justified in fearing
Germany and demanding that Ger
man militarism be positively de-
stroyed.
President Wilson has been de-
ceived by the present German
government.
The allies made a mistake in
compromising with Germany on
the Danzig questions, as the mill
tarists now believe they can get
what they want at Versailles.
Germany ought to have a die
tated peace" as it is all she de-
serves.
PROPHECY is MADE.
"As a result of my intimate observ
ations l prophesy one of two thing
will happen" said Barth
There will be Il second revolution
either before peace is signed or as
result of the governments refusal t,
accept the ententes terms resulting il
the establishment of a proletarian die
tatorship-or the royalists will in
augurate a counter revolution as sooi
as peace is signed.
The monarchists would bring tn
kaiser, the crown prince and the res
of the royalty back and Germany woult
be the same menace to Europe tina
she was before. Generals Ludendorf
and Groener are behind this move
ment, but General Won Vorbeck, who j
being daily honored by the German
as the undefeated victor of the African
campaign, is actually the miltar
commander chosen to conduct tn
counter revolution
ARMY SUPPORT CERTAIN.
"Already the militarists are aim
ing to win over the bourgeosie, as
we'll as the loyalist peasants,
either with or without the knowl-
edge of the government. Counting
the veteran army as certain to
align itself with this movement,
the monarchists can count on at
least three million armed support
ers.

FRENCH FEARS JUSTIFIED.
