Paris, April S.-This is der tag"
be decided.
Advices from German and neutral
sources indicate the question of wheth-
er Germany is to continue it's present
form of government or embrace Boil
shevism hinges largely on the action
OF the Societ congress which opens in
Berlin today. The Scheidemann min
istry has granted further concessions
to the radicals but is represented as
determined to resist with all the force
at its disposal any further political en-
croachment on its powers.
While announcing formal accept
ance of the plan for establishment
of a National Soviet, as the third
branch of the legislative depart
mont, the government was COM
pleting it's preparations, under War
Minister Noske, for meeting force
with force. Every military precau-
ton, according to the latest de-
spatches, has been taken both in
Berlin and Weinar.
REVOLT DATE UNCERTAIN.
The Spartacans, while laying plans
early last Monday for a revolution.
were divided as to whether the uprising
should be staged the firts week in April
or should be deferred until after the
Soviet congress today, when it was
expected the less extreme radicals
among the workers would be brought
to the proper frame of mind for join
ing the revolt.
Since that time certain develop
ments have had their influences on the
Spartacans' scheme. The general
strike now spreading to all parts of
the country, was seized upon as the
means for decentraliZing the govern
ment's military precautions. AS a re-
suit the Spartacan revolt, instead of
breaking out simultaneously through
out Germany, has developed slowly in
scattered uprisings in widely scattered
communities.
SINGLE CAMPAIGN HOPE.
Spartacan leaders, according to the
best available information, hope
through the influence of their agents
in today's meeting to inflame the
workers and weld all factions into
single campaign for the overthrow OF
President Ebert and Chancellor
Scheidemann.
The government, apparently, has as
sumed an attitude of hands OFF, to-
ward the Soviet congress, until politi-
cal incendiarism actually deVelops-if
it does deNelop-and then Noske will
strike quickly and with every force at
his command. The situation in Ba
varia is regarded as having no little
influence upon developments in other
parts of Germany. Apparent success
Of new Soviet revolution in Mlmch is
expected to hearten the Spartacans
and probably win them many recruits
from the less courageous, though
equally dissatisfied, elements in Ger
many.
SILENCE IN HUNGARY.
No confirmation has been received
of the rumors of a counter revolution
in Hungary and dispatches from Bud
apest, filed yesterday, mention no un-
usual developments. The dispatches
further describe a conference between
General SHUTS and Foreign Minister
Bella Kun, who was supposed to have
been assassinated In the overthrow of
the government.
Hungary, it would seem, Is thus left
to conduct its communist propaganda,
so successful in Bavaria and which
Is now expected to be directed strong
ly at other German states, as it is be-
ing done In Austria.
