Bavaria Trying to Save Itself.
Demonstrations have occurred IN
Munich against the new revolutionary
government of Bavaria, according TO
Berlin dispatches today. The demon
strators were dispersed by troops, the
advices state.
Protests AGAINST the formation OF
the soviet government voiced at
political meeting in Bamberg, north
ern Bavaria, are reported in DIS
patches from that city. Deputies Of all
the bourgeoise parties of the three
Franconian governments, upper lower
and middle Franconia, met in Bam-
berg and registered a unanimous pro-
test against the proclamation Of the
new regime at Munich.
''The whole population Of northern
Bavaria" reads the protest. .'is> warned
against allowing itself to be in
-timidated thru fear of a vanishing
minority, mainly consisting of persons
predominately of foreign race.
Bavaria is on the edge of a preci-
-pice and if it is not protected from
downfall everything is lost. Bavaria
will then become the prey of fratri-
cides, plunderers and famine, A
further consequence will be the COM
plete collapse Of economic life. Foreign
countries will refuse food and assist
ance to bolshevik Bavaria, and help
from Russia and Hungary are out Of
the question because they are tor
tured by famine.
Those who tell you this are your
countrymen and not foreigners who,
untilGa few months ago. knew nothing
Of Bavaria and are Indifferent to your
fate"
