British Leader Departs From

Budapest, April S.-While Gen.
Jan Christian SHUTS, who was sent
here by the peace conference at Paris
had authority to arrange a new
armistice between Hungary and the
entente powers, it appears that he
did not do so.
British residents of the city will,
leave for Paris by way of Vienna
Saturday. With them will 60 the

The government seems to be do

Americans and other foreigners.
Great earnestness is displayed by
the members of the new government
in carrying out the work assigned to
them. They are ready to discuss
their plans and they refrain from
abusing capitalism, Maintenance Of
strict discipline to protect the bour-
geoisie and to prevent red guard
outbreaks has been decided upon by
the government,
Scheme to Scare Allies.
1t is considered certain here that
the communist movement was en-
gineered by Count Michael Karolyi
the former president, to scare the
allies by the spectre of bolshevism
and thereby draw attention to the
situation in Hungary. 1t was a
measure of despair. the results Of
which have scared out those who
planned the move as it has given all
opportunity for Bella Kun, the for
eign minister, to attempt to become
a dictator of the Trotzky type. The
communists are opposed by the
socialists, who are attempting to
from a moderate socialist govern
ment.

Many Omaha merchants already

than ever before in the history Of
the country. The enormous sums
farmers will receive for their wheat,
it was said. should find its way back
quickly into circulation. thus adding
to the general prosperity of the ma
ton.
Expect Big Surplus.
Today's forecast also indicated
that America will have greater
surplus than ever before. The
United States requires for its own
yearly consumption about 55
bushels of wheat for each person
within it. With approximately no.
100000 people in the United States
and adding approximately 100000
bushels of wheat which is necessary
for feeding purposes, the demands
of this country this year are esti-
mated at more than 650,000,000
bushels.
With a spring wheat production
estimated at from 225,000000 to
300,000,000 it would appear that the
surplus available for export would
be in the neighborhood of about
450,000,000 bushels.
What these figures mean is indi-
Gated in statistics showing that be-
fore the war the United States ex-
ported on an avearge of 100,000000
bushels yearly. During the war the
greatest quantity exported in any
one year was about 335,000000
bushels, so that the available supply
this year will be considerably more
than 100000 bushels above the
maximum ever exported, even when
practically all the warning allied and
neutral nations were depending upon
the United States as the main
source of their food supply.

BAVARIAN RED
ARMY PLANNED
BY new REGIME
Council ProcIaims "Brotherly
Connection" With Russians
and Hungarians; Attacks
German Republic.

Munich, April 8.--Complete sever
ance from the old German imperial
ism, still manifest in the Ebert
Scheidemann government, and the
resumption of "brotherly connec-
ton" with the Russian and Hun
garian peoples, is announced in the
proclamation of the new soviet gov
ernment for Bavaria formed here.
The text of the document reads:
The decision arrived at for Bav-
aria is the formation of a council OF
the republic of revolutionary work
ers and peasants of Bavaria, includ-
ing all our brothers, now united,
separated by no party laws. From
now on no exploitation or oppres-
sion will be tolerated. The dicta-
torship of the proletariat now has
become a fact. The legislation of
a genuine socialistic community now
is achieved, in which every working
man may participate in public life
and in just socialistic age.
Landtag Dissolved.
The landtag has been dissolved
and the old ministry retired. Peo-
pies commissaries, responsible to
the people and chosen by council
Of the working people, will receive
extraordinary powers to be EN-
ployed in certain labor fields. Their
assistants will be intelligent men
from all parts of the revolutionary
and socialistic community.
Countless valuable forces of Off
oialdom, especially from the lower
middle class, will be asked to CO.
operate in the new work. The
bureaucratic system will be abso-
lutely eliminated and the press will
be socialized.
As protection for the Bavarian
council of the republic against rev.
dictionary attacks from without and
within a red army will be created
Immediately and revolutionary
court will pursue ruthlessly every
attempt upon the council.
Affiliate with Bolsheviki.
"'Thc government of the Bavarian
council republic follows the exam
pie of the Hungarian and Russian
peoples. 1t will resume Immediately
brotherly connection with these
peoples, but it declines any connec-
ton with the contemptuous Ebert
Scheidemanh government because
that government is continuing under
the flag of a socialistic republic the
imperialistic, capitalistic and military
business of the disgraceful, broken
down German empire.
1T calls upon all German brothers
to take the same view. 1t greets all
proletarians wherever revolutionary
socialism is hghting-in Wuerttem-
berg, the Ruhr district, in the whole
world
''As sign'of Joyous hope for a
fortunate future for all humanity it
establishes April 7 as holiday for
all humanity. As sign of the be-
ginning of the departure, the flight
of the age of capitalism, all work is
stopped Bavaria ceases, on April 7,
in so far as it is not necessary for
the welfare of the working people,
to do labor.
Long live free Bavaria! Long
live the council government! Long
live ths world revolution"

TROOPS QUELL
REVOLT SPRUNG
BY BAVARIANS
New Regime Puts Down Up
rising in Munich Against New
Revolutionary Government
by Force of Arms.

Copenhagen, April s.-Demou-
STATIONS have occurred in Munich
against the new revolutionary gov
ernment of Bavaria. according to
Berlin dispatches today. The demon
strators were dispersed by troops,
the advices state.
Deputies of all the bourgeois
parties of the three Franconan gov
ernments, upper, lower and middle
Franconia, met in Bamberg and reg
istered a unanimous protest against
the proclamation of the new regime
at Munich.
On Edge of Precipice.
"The whole population of northern
Bavaria" reads the protest, us
warned against allowing itself to be
intimidated through fear of a van
ishlng minority, mainly consisting of
persons predominantly of foreign
race.
Bavaria is on the edge of prec-
ipice and if it is not preserved from
downfall everything is lost. Ba-
varia will then become the prey of
fratricides, plunderers and famine. A
further consequence will be the
complete collapse of economic life.
Foreign countries will refuse food
and assistance to bolshevik
Bavaria, and help from Russia and
Hungary is out of the question, as
they are tortured by famine.
Those who tell you this are your
countrymen and not foreigners, who
few months ago knew nothing of
Bavaria and who are indifferent to
your fate"
Muehsam Now Dictator.
A Berlin dispatch says that Rich
Muehsar. a prominent communist,
who is included in the Bavarian
soviet government, has been given
unlimited powers by the Bavarian
central council, according to the
Achtuhrbatt, and thus exercises all
dictatorship.
Muesram and Landauer (the min
lister of popular enlightenment"),
are today the rulers who dominate
Munich, with the support of the
garrison. this newspaper declares.
1t expressed the opinion that the
soviet government, however, will
not last, IS the people are opposed
to the dictatorship and hope that
the counter measures taken by
Premier Hoffman Of the old severn
ment will be effective.
Soviet Proclamation Error.
Paris, April S.-The proclamation
of a soviet government in Munich,
says a dispatch to the Matin from
Zurich, was an error on the part OF
the men who proclaimed it. Many
opposed the course up
to the last moment, says the dis
patch, realizing that it would have
the effect of aCCentuatlng the hos
tile tendencies of northern Bavaria
The correspondent notes the prop
Csition fcr their removal of the
Diet to Bamberg and the pronounce
ment by the socialist party, which
had been in power, against the
soviet proclamation. The party,
however,, declared that it would re-
main neutral in the face of all &C
complished fact. raising no diff
culties for the new government.
The correspondent considers the
doubly severe blow
for the Berlin government, in the
first place, because of its possible
influence on the congress of Ger
man councils about to assemble,
and in the second place because a
soviet regime in Munich completely
upsets all calculations upon which
the future internal policy of Ger
many mas been based.
