WMMAR, Germany. Feb. 8 (de-
layed) The German government
may attempt to use the Spartacans
as weapon to force the allies into
making terms OF the peace settle
ment less severe, according to re-
ports in circulation here today.
Government Officials openly de-
clare they win refuse to sign the
treaty II its provisions "are unrea-
sonable." They intimated that the
government would resign, turning
the country over to the radical ele-
ments. which, they believe, would
Immediately create q chaotic condi
tion-
Germany would thus not only be
unable to pay any indemnities, but
in the belief OF governm ent officials,
would menace the rest OF Europe
with the threat OF the Spartacan
movement spreading. Thin condi-
ton, some Germans argue, would be
no worse than the commercial
slavery" they foresee from the peace
settlement
The mental attitude of the military
class In Germany has developed dur
ing the last two months from one
of absolute depression to defiance
and general condemnation Of the
entente The change has been
wrought. 1t is said. by ''the lack Of
sympathy in the entente countries
for the present economic, social and
political conditions In Germany"
Germans who still retain the old
militaristic ideals are confident that,
in case the government should turn
the committee over, the Spartacans
would not attempt to occupy the re-
mainder OF Germany for some time.
As one pan-German is reported to
have said, "the world is sick Of war,
there ts unrest everywhere, and the
entente can't take Germany any
way"
The foreign office Is seizing upon
everything possible to protest to the
allies as part of the general resist
ance. Count Bernstorff has Joined
the democrats and become the gov
ernment's principal adviser on for
eign affairs. He publicly accuses
France OF changing the boundaries
of Lorraine.
''It is very evident he said re-
gently, that France proposes, II pos
sible. to. seize the purely German
Saar basin. The government of Ger
many has protested against arbitrary
change in the Lorraine frontier. yet
Clemenceau persists in claiming the
Saar basin"
This same sentiment was evident
in Chancellor Ebert's speech before
the national assembly condemning
the Seizure" of Alsace~Lorraine and
the delayed repatriation of German
war prisoners, while Edward David.
president OF the assembly, showed
the same open defiance in his greet
ing to "our captive Alsatian and LOT
ranian brothers"
There is a strong movement under
way for political naturalization of
