Berlin, Jan, Is (via Copenhagen, de-
layed) The advertising sections of the
Berlin newspapers today contain nothing
but advertisements of campaign meet
ings and party proclamations. some OF
which. especially those of the reaction
airy parties. I'll a whole page each.
1t is quite evident that tho reaction
aries hope to profit from the weakness
displayed by the government toward the
Spartacans, and doubtless the govern
ment has lost considerable prestige even
with the laboring and middle classes {;
but Judging from reports from all over
the country, not the reactionares. but
the German Democratic party, is the
gamer.
The reactionarles, dethroned from
their despotic position. which never
brooked opposition. prove TO be very
clumsy politicians, unable even to keep
their sinister plans until time for action
arrives. The tone of their proclamation
reminds one too strongly of the old
days of kaiserism.
This is how Field Marshal Won
Worysch, whom the Lokal Anzeiger
halls as the defender of the Silesian
frontier. concludes his command to vote

"It needs q strong hand 10 restore
