Should Socialists, Unite With

Army Would Vanish

Paris, April 3-Competent German
and foreign observers are chary of
making definite predictions of what
will come out Of the welter of pOliti-
cal and economic disorders and devel.
opments in revolutionary Germany,
To borrow an epigram of Count Won
Eernstorff nothing in Germany is now
certain except the uncertainty Of the
morrow
An American correspondent left
pressions:
The tenure of the present coalition
government was by no means secure,
although for the moment in control
Of the situation.
Only One Alternative.
There is no alternative except that
a strong socialistic government with
a drift towards the soyiets is prob.
able it the present government fails:
Altho the great mass of people are
opposed to bolshevik government,
they can count only upon the compaes
,atively small force of Noske's volun-
teer troops to keep down this insur.
rectionist movement, the masses being
too apathetic to give support in case
Of an emergency.
Successes Ephemeral.
Success Of the Noske troops would
be difficult if the Spartacans and
their Independent socialist allies
should succeed in staging a general
strike and insurrection.
If the Spartacan movement is un-
able to organize such widespread
movement, the government probably
will be able to sustain itself until
peace is signed.
On the one hand the government Is
by no means strong and is esta blish-
ing itself more and more by the mere
fact of its continued existence.

Paris. April 3.-There is one man, a

SEVERED FRIENDSHIP g
