to say that anything is going on well

Bolshevism made another big play
last week when a soviet government
of Bavaria was set up in Munich by
the revolutionary central council. The
landtag was dissolved and peoples
commissions appointed. This action
was supported in Wurzburg and Rats
bon. but throughout Bavaria generally
it was violently opposed not only by
the bourgeoisie but also by the peas
ants. The latter hold control of the
food supply and declared they would
refuse to deliver food while the soviet
government remained in power. The
bolshevists prepared measures for the
communication of property and the
formation of Red army, while the
government they sought to replace. re-
berg. Later in the week the citizens
and officials of Wurzburg struck
against the soviet government and
ousted its agents after severe fighting.
The diet met in hamburg and the min
listers said they regarded the. situation
with confidence and that outside help
to suppress the bolshevists was not
needed.
The communist government of Hun
gary rejected the propositions made by
General SHUTS for the allies, concern
ing the neutral zone and other matters,
and made contemporaries, with
which SHUTS returned TO Paris. Mean
while the Hungarian bolshevists were
cheered by the news that Lenine was
sending them 10000 men. In an inter-

years-in which damages are to be col

preferred that the treaty should name
the fixed amount of indemnity to be
collected, but did not insist on this. in
order to hasten agreement The five

An important and interesting part
of the treaty, which has been fOrmu-
lated, deals with water and rail COM
municatiOns in enemy states. Freedom
of transportation through Germany and
Austria and equality of treatment in
ports and harbOrs are provided. The
regulation of transportation over the
Rhine and Danube provides for the
entrance of France, Switzerland and
some nOnpartiSan states to the present
Mannheim convention between Ger
many and Holland covering the navi-
cation of the Rhine.
The European commission control
ling the mouths of the Danube will be
continued. representatives Of present
enemy states being excluded from it,
and similar international commission
will be established Professionally for
the upper Danube. This will last until
new general Danube convention is
established.
A new international convention COW
ering the navigation of the Elbe and
Oder rivers is recommended to protect
the interests of Poland and CzechO-
Slovakia and give them freedom of
navigation without discriminating du-
ties, down through German territory
to the North and Baltic seas. These
states would be further given free port
privileges at certain north German har-
bors in order that they may be enabled
to develop their export and import
commerce.
