Revolutionary outbreaks in Berlin

just happen, when the situation seems
entirely uneneouraging to them.
Berlin s revolution is different from
others in that there is no united demand
for any one thing. There are IS many
demands as there Ere Germans iff Bcr-

there is practically no action. Thus
Berlin is filled with crossing currents
Of opinion, with each faction not know
ing just what it wants. Factions seize
upon any pretext for a demonstration.
There is no clean-cut issue which unites
Berlin into parties. A strong royalist
attempt to regain the government would
probably unite Berlin and save the rev
olution. The majority stands On the
sidelines, watching agitators toss the
revolution up and down, 10 no one IS

Germany's lack Of leaders has been
one of the most outstanding features Of
the revolution. In the hour when Ger.

brought about by the old system, when
leaders, as soon as they were recognized
as such, were hustled into the Junker
party. They became Junker leaders and

The result is that Germany finds her
