MILITARISI IS STILL
 DOMINATING GERMANS
Government Officials Said to Be But Puppets of
 Old Caste. >.

London, March 17.-Specia1 dis patches from Berlin report that the suppression of the recent. partacan outbreak there has shown that a military and monarchiSt reaction is growing and OVersha dowing the new government.
 The Berlin correspondent of the Mail who on February 27 sent a dis patch outlining plans for a monar- chist uprising in Germany has ar rived in London, having left Berlin on March ] 1 after a residence of throc or four months. He reiterates that President Ebert, Chancellor Scheidc- mann and Minister of War Noske are merely puppets. He declares that for the purpose cf retaining power they have allowed members of the military caste to reappear as organizers of the new republican armies.
 "These men are the real governors of Germany he says, ''They make the edicts and Chancellor Scheide- mann and his colleagues willingly sign them.'
 Similar testimony is given by other correspondents in telegraphing' from Berlin some stating that the capture of the suburb of Iichtenberg has in tentlonally prolonged to eXtermlnatC tC the SpartaCans whose treatment by government troops is said to be sharply condemned. While a thousand atrocities are attributed the Sparta cans details which have been given are doubted or denied. Even the Vorwaerts admits them to be much exaggerated. The correspondents concur in the statement that extreme bitterness has been created against the government troops and further trouble is inevita ble.
 According to a dispatch to the Mail, the Spartacan revolt will certainly re cur in er-increasing force unless d miracle happens It adds that Herr Noske's forces have been recruited by bribes and promise of big rations and that to this may be attributed some of the food shortage in Berlin.
