The general feeling is that the pre-
d!ctions that the Ebert -Scheidemann
Government is facing a crisis are justi-
fed by the events in Bavaria. The abil-
ity OF the t.on fsted Noske, the Minis
ter of Defence to suppress the Bavarian
revolt as he did the rioting in Berlin will
be the great test OF strength OF the
new Government and OF principle OF
secession.
The newspapers to-day are filled with
detailed dispatches from various sources
descriptive of events in Bavaria, me
most notable of which is from the we'll
informed correspondent al Zurich of the
Journal, Georges Blum, who does not
hesitate to call the outbreak the begin
ming OF the third German revolution,
but believes the peasants can starve out

An the dispatches consider the situation

.At the State Department the orders

Reports received from Gen. SHUTS at
Budapest are that he has had several
talks with Bella Kun. leader OF the Hun
garian Bolsheviks, and is altering the
armstice terms to forms more favorable
for them, notably the frontier imposed
upon Hungary which precipitated the
trouble so as to allay Hungarian hos
ti.ity, thereby bearing out reports that
the Allies have adopted a conCiliatory
policy toward Bolshevism.
1t became certain this morning that
If the Allies pursue this policy they must
abandon the Wi.sonian principle of the
self-determination OF nations. Lenine's
terms, as reported to have been stated
to W. c. Bullitt. include insistence upon
the <eturn to Russia of Litnunia. Es-

, mer Russian provinces except Poland
and Finland, although many Of these
have declared their independence, and
also the withdrawal OF all troops Of the
Allies from Russia. notably the British
from the Archangel district.
II was said this morning that the hap
penings in Bavaria were the result OF
the refusal of the Allies to treat with
the Kurt Eisner Government, which was
willing TO negotiate a separate peace with
them, whereas now tae Allies have q

PARIS, April S.-The actual penetra-
ton of Germany by Bolshevism, which
has seized all Bavaria and stands al
most ON the banks of the Rhine. has
caused a sensation here greater even
than the fall of Hungary. Hurried
conferences were held this morning to
determine the extent of the menace TO
the newly recovered lost provinces of
France.
The question under discussion is
whether the upset in Bavaria will not
create that situation calling for mill
tary defensive measures in which il
has been stated that troops of the
Allies would be employed, possibly in
Guiding Americans.
The general feeling in official circles
to-day Is that fuller news must be
awaited, but information received from
all sources confidential as we'll as press
dispatches is:
First-The Soviet Government OF
Bavaria openly intends to combat the
Ebert-Schei ideTnann Government and
recall the Bavarian representatives
from Welmar. which is the Govern
ment with which the Allies are nego-
t!sting In armistice affairs and with
( which they intend to negotiate peace
Second-This Bavarian Govern
ment intends TO form an alliance with
the Bolsheviki Of Russian and Hun
! gary.
Third---The Communist regime o.

should be conhscated and the full
Bolshevik programme carried out. ,

ernment--the peasants in Swabia. in

way or the other, as they cannot tempo
