EIsNER's ASSASSINATION.

After the affairs in Germany SEEM
I'd to be on the way TO a solution
through orderly adjustment and the
suppression Of the bolshevik influence,
10 is unfortunate that new complica-
lions have been displayed in Bavaria
through the assassination Of Kurt
Eisner. even though it was only full
hlment OF what Eisner said would
happen following the speech which he
delivered az Berne and for which he
was heartily congratulated. II was
then that he let it be known that Ba-
Narian conditions were bad, that ne
recognized the situation and appre-
ciated what effect his statements
would have thereon.
Eisner was an independent socialist
and as such was opposed not only TO
the kaiser's government bu. also TO
the majority socialists represented by
the Ebert government. But naturally
his opposition 70 the former was the
stronger and he did not attempt TO
cover up the fact that the kaiser was

responsible for the war. that he and
his militarists should be brought to
justice and that Prussianism should
be forever wiped out. II was Eisner
who brought forth from the Eavarian
archives the proof Of the guilt OF the
haiser's regime.
Thus it was quite evident why those
who still cling to the idea that the old
government should be reestablished
should want Eisner out Of the way,
and with him the others who are
standing back of the independent So
cialist control in Bavaria. Count Ar
co Valley apparently represented the
reactionaries and with assistants made
q bold endeavor to put out of
The way the opponents of the old
regime. They have thus shown their
hand and without sufficient strength
to overthrow the Eisner government
made such a revolution IS they de-
sired more difficdlt.

She had shown apprehension when

that the bystanders might not hear.
"And I know why she is not at home.
I know all the story"
"There has been enough OF this silly

her. "I shall take you back to your
