Third Spartacan Uprising to Be
Signal for General BoIshevik
Onslaught to Be Started
Through Central Europe.
NO WARNING TO BE GIVEN
IN BOCHES' THIRD REVOLT
Leaders Say 1t Will Take Ten
Years for BoIshevism to
Dominate Old World but Are
Planning Accordingly.
BY FRANK ]. TAYLOR.

Copyright 1919 by United Press)
Berlin, March p (by courier TO
Paris), March 25-Spartacans are plan
ming to launch their third revolution
before the 1st of April.
This revolt, it was learned from
Spartacans themselves today, is in
tended as the signal for a general Bol :
shevist uprising through central Eu-
rope. Russian Bolsheviki have been
asked to start an invasion to insure
the revolutions success.
WITHOUT WARNING. a
The Spartacans expect to open
hostiities without warning since
the General strike that preceded the
last revolution gave the govern-
nnent time to prepare. They ares
gathering weapons, ammunition,
and food which they are storing in
numerous secret rendezvous.
Some of the Spartacans, vastly in the
minority favor postponing the revo-
luton until after the Soviet congress,
which meets here April 8, then seek
ing to persuade the workmen and In
dependent Socialists to join them. This
plan has met with little favor, as the
workmen and Independents want nc
violence and the Spartacans do.
The Spartacans recently sent a del
egaton to Moscow in an airplane they
had stolen. This method of establish
ing communication was employed be-
cause the frontiers are closed
ASK LENIsE'S AID.
They asked the BoIsheviki to assist
the pending revolution by throwing
large forces of Soviet troops into CEN
trail Europe. Spartacan leaders say II
will take 10 years for Bolshevism u
dominate Europe completely. They arc
laying their plans accordingly.
The government, under direction Of
War Minister NoslSe, is massng
weapons and ammunition and strength :
ening its arsenals in preparation for
the struggle.

Abolished, Regardless When
Peace Treaty Signed.
PREPARATION CRY STILLED;
REALIZE BOCHE CAN'T PAY
Delegates Find Economic Safe
guards Against Hun Trade
Designs Too Difficult; Indi-
viduaI Nations Must Solve.
BY LOWELL MELLETT.

Dy LIZ Wv E.lLL
Paris, March 25.-The matter of pro-
viding economic safeguards to prevent
Germany Capturing the world mar
kets" is proving so difficult that there
is strong likelihood that each nation
will be left to look out for itself in
this regard, it was learned from an
authoritative source today.
In the light of the engagement
offered the BosheviM by the present
blockade-as evidenced by the situa-
ton in Hungary-the British are in
creasingly disposed to join the Ameri-
cans in insisting that the blockade be
lifted Immediately, regardless of when
the peace treaty is signed.
Added to the questions which will
he settled on the simple ground of
principle, apparently is that of indem-
mites. Premier Lloyd George has been
in frequent conversation with Lord
Cunliffe and Lord Sumner, British fl
nancial experts.
PREPARATION CRY sTILLED.
There is little belief in British circles
now that the premier's campaign
promise to make Germany pay the cost
of the war will be realized. Talk of
demanding $125.000, 100000 as Great
Britain's share of German reparation
has disappeared. The British purpose
now seems to be only to insist that
Germany shall pay specified damage
claims and pay in such manner that
she will not be crushed economically.
The committee on responsibility for
the war is understood to have complet-
ed its work, reaching conclusions as
recently outlined to the United Press
drawing up what practically amounts
to an international indictment, affect
ing every offender from the former
kaiser down to the lowest private.
EXCEPTING THE KAISER.
Contrary to the original plan. how
ever, it is reported the committee will
recommend that all offenders be tried
in the countries in which their crimes
were committed, except where there
are no national laws fitting their cases.
In that contingency they will be tried
by the international court to be Great
ed. The former kaiser. as decided
some time ago, probably will not be
brought to trial, as there is no interna-
,ional precedent covering ms casa
A curious commentary was made re-
Gently by one of the committee con-
cerning the American members.
THE Americans are too damned
legal-minded,' he said. They refuse
to take the obvious common sense view
some times because there is no law
to support it."

The conference has been deeply i'm
pressed by the collapse of the Hunga-
rian government, the alliance Of the
new government with the Russian Boil
sheviki and the reported declaration of
war against the entente.
THE OLD TIME SPEED.
Every effort is now being made to
speed UP the peace settlement with
Germany and the other enemy coun-
tries, with resultant lifting of the
blockade. One of the most potent
weapons in the hands of the allies to
prevent the spread Of Bolshevism west
ward will be establishment of nor
NAL economic conditions in central Eu-
rope, the delegates agree.
The supreme war council proceeded
with its routine business yesterday
but all the delegates showed the great
est desire to obtain all information
possible concerning the Hungarian sit
uation.
Despite the recognized necessity for
hurrying preparation of the prelimi-
nary treaty, there was only hope in
stead of confidence expressed today
that the terms would be ready by Sat
urday, as scheduled. Reparation is one
of the big sticking points, owing to
the inability of the conferees to agree
on what Germany will be able to pay.
HAVE DIRECT EFFECT.
Reaching such an agreement will
naturally have a direct effect on the
entire economic program, the larger the
amount, the more economic opportuni-
ties the Germans must have in order
to pay.
Developments leading to the Hun
garian revolution were being discussed
today in the light OF what might have
been done to avert it. When Count
Karolyi was informed of the establish
ment OF a temporary boundary by the
peace conference. permitting the Ru-
manians to occupy the 1916 line, he is
said to have declared that his over
throw was inevitable. This situation
was complicated by the fact that as
surances of food relief constituted the
strongest element in enabling the gov
ernment to hold on.
While the Hungarians will not be in
acute need of food uptil the middle OF
next month, Karolyi led them to expect
shipments from their former enemies
to avoid q crisis n.
