Neither Sim Fem nor Portugal has yet
been taken seriously by the world il one
may judge fairly by press reaction For
example. The New York Tribune writes:
King Manoel is reported off the coast of
Portugal hobble skirts are back again. and
the great postwar reaction is at last in
full swing. Be depressed if YOU are hope
ful radical with plan for the millennium
in your pocket. Come out of your bomb

Tory. As for Other folk, they can at least
be thankful for a job and for 3 world that
knows its own orbit, let wars and reformers
belabor it as they will Long live
monarchy and comic opera! If it must be
the same old world let us be glad that it
is still an amusing one"
"The New York Times" thinks Manoel
rather rash. Indeed
"if with the fate of his father and elder
brother in his mind. and Europe full of
monarchs out of business like himself. Dom
Nanoel really goes back to Portugal. he is
a brave man who loves adventure. loves
Portugal so we'll that ne wants to be buried
there as soon possible"
Piquancy was added to the situation
by dispatch from London on Friday
to the effect that reports of the Kings
presence off the cost Of Portugal were
at least premature, since he was still
in London
The Sim Fein Parliament declares

that he is German general or author
of the way out because he violated laws
and committed murder. For this he must
be held liable in his own person"
The American press generally seems
to feel, with The Savannah News"
that, "other questions may have logic
al precedence and proper priority of
right of way in the consideration of the
settlement OF world affairs for perma-
nent peace, but the question of bringing
the former Kaiser to justice through
some fair and impartial process of law
keeps pace in interest with all the
others"
The Ottawa Citizen is of the opin-
ION that
mo penalty can adequately atone for what
the exKaiser has done, and therefore, the
intlicton of the most severe punishment
would seem to be somewhat in the nature
Of petty revenge"
But most papers would prefer seeing
the ex-Kaiser brought to actual trial
In the words of The Washington Star"
'the people of all the Allied lands de-
mand it and fully expect it." And The
indianapolis News" points out that "hu-
manity and civilization are the prose-
cutting Witnesses
Hamilton Fyfe, in The Fortnightly
Review" sums up the last of the Hohen-
zollern rulers in these words: He was
just weak, unlucky man. Another
writer, in The Contemporary Review
likens him to Faust "evoking the Vision
Of the Macrocosm, the web and the
woof and the roaring loom Of Time and
sinking to the ground in impotence.

knecht by the soldiers of the
II Ebert government and the lynch
ing of Rosa Luxembourg by the
Berlin mob furnish the subject of i'm
passioned comment for the radical press
of New York, the consensus of opinion
being that the two Spartacus leaders are
martyrs of the proletariat of all coun-
tries and that their spilled blood will
fertilize the soil of world revolution.
The New York CALI main organ of
the American Socialist party, writes edi-
torially:
When the murderers planted the bullet
IN Karl Liebknecht's head that ended his
life they probably thought they were mere
~ getting rid Of n trouble maker But in
stead, they will find they have given Ger
many and the world revolutionary move
ment, a hero whose memory will ever in
spire them 20 courage and devotion to It's
ideals"
According to an editorial published in
The Cali on Monday, the death of
Liebknecht accomplished the main object
OF the Spartacus revolt, the Illustration
OF the Constituent Assembly Thus "the
death Of their leader seems to have ac-
eomplished what he could not achieve by
his activity. The elections seem to have
been postponed indefinitely" But, un-
fortunately for the prophecy. on Sunday
the elections for the Assembly were neld
ali over Germany. According to the
cables the disturbance caused by the
Spartakusleute" was infnitesimal, and
the Ebert government and the Moderates
won crushing victory over the Reds.
Nevertheless, the martyrdom of Lieb-
knecht will bear its fruit, this paper goes
on to say, despite the fact that 1.-THE
world will not mourn" Instead. "it will
cast one glance at the bier. and. filled
with renewed courage, the revolutionary
proletariat viii march forward to the
victory that his death has so nobly ad-
Vanced.'
The "Novy Mir organ of the radical
wing of Russion Socialists, harangues
thus against those responsible for the
two deaths:

SINS OF the Spartacan heroes? You have TO
look for them in the party of the Judases.

but were like "chnovniks." 1t is quite the
same to take money from the public or from
the Gar. There were some exceptions, but
very few.
Q.-What do you think will be the future
of the Church?
Al think sometimes it will GO The
Church viii remain Orthodox, but little by
little all the churches will be changed The
monastcries and the properties of monas-
teres will cease-it will not be as before
Nobody viii go there as they do now They
have ali they want to eat, to drink and
dress. After the monasteries lose their
riches they will not attract the people
Also, | think, after great reform of the
clergy they viii see no Black Hundred clergy
-nil-a. Long ago the White Church said
we do not want the monks as our superiors
We shall very recommend all the
priests Of the White Church to decide how
to make the affairs afterward. We do not
touch this question now. They have enough
to do now with the question of the republic
with the uniformity of law for everybody
but religion is very delicate question, and
after these changes have taken place and
the minds Of our people are more liberal and
accustomed to changes the Church will be
liberal, in France, separated from the
state
Q.-Immediately after the revolution
noticed that the students, Jews, etc, have
talked about new God. They thought of
liberty God. Do you think that Russia
Will be less religious than before?
A.No, ! do not think So think our re-
ligion win be purified. Our priests will have
another education-~it Will be the gospel-it

churches, and with that every moral ques-
ton will be taught there. Until now our
priests gave only very sad and Incompetent

understand; to be faithful to the Czar, to
DC obedient and all that but nothing of
high ideals and morality. Without relig

Q.-What will be the model for the new
Russia-France, America or Switzerland?
A-Not one in particular This country
will not change any; only the relations be,
tween the agricultural people-everywher
we have al the riches Of the estates We
have iron, gold, salt every metal-all that
we do with is from here, and when all the

Al think we shall have universities
where there Will be lectures on every re-

= MERE are ghosts in the old castle
of Amerongen, Holland, where
"a Mr.. William Hohenzolern, for

pire and would-be Kaiser of every habit
able portion Of the universe, has sought
refuge from the fate which closes in

are not native TO the castle, either.

wv THEN you opened your morn
~ ing paper last week you found
pair of very startling head
lines On the one hand you
found that in Ireland the Sim Feiners
had proclaimed republic, and on the
other hand that royalist rule had been
proclaimed in Portugal. An odd pair,
surely But these are days when almost
anything may happen.
Neither as yet appears to have passed
the opera bouffe stage. Half the dele
gates to the first Sim Fein parliament
are in various English prisons on
charges of sedition, or merely held under
suspicion, while the other half exchange
condolences behind closed doors in mys-
terious Gaelic into which their free Eng
Gsh speech has to be laboriouslv trans
lated before it can be as haltingly read.
Two of their delegates to the Paris con-
ference are in English prisons, while the
third awaits the liberality of a British
passport to proceed to France. The
British government lifted the ban on
public assemblage in Ireland just in time
for the Sim Feiners to meet without con-
travening the law, and genially contem-
plates the Dublin stage.
Meanwhile, "Portugal's royal fat boy"
as he is termed by THE Louisville Cou-
rier Journal" PAGES the deck of steam

patches by way of Paris, and awaits the

the ex-Kaiser's responsibility for the

securing justice. In it is quoted let

Austria, written in the early days of
the war. This is the letter:
"Ny soul is torn asunder. but everything

zs;;A'kh,ks, !

The New Yorker Volkszeitung,' the
German Socialist daily, writes
at was clear from the first moment that
in both instances those of Liebknecht and
Rosa Luxembourg it was case Of bastard
ly. cowardly assassination. The crime com
mitted against Rosa Luxembourg not even
the German official circles dared to denv.
They had simply to admit the lynching. So
they spoke of the ordeal consummated bv
the crowd on the deceased. As though they
did not know that the bum proletariat' of
each big city, the degenerated dregs of the
working class, are the deadly enemies Of
every revolutionary movement and its
leaders"
The "Elore,7 Hungarian Socialist
daily, comments thus:
Two great human beings have closed
their eyes forever An indescribable loss
has been inflicted on the social democracy
Of the world"
But turning to that portion of the
American press which is not committed
to the doctrines held by the slain leaders
in Germany, one encounters very diff
ferent reactions. For instance. "The
Spokane Spokesman Review" feels that.
through this action on the part of the
mob "a heavy blow was undoubtedly
struck at Bolshevism in Germany" al
though this paper goes on to assert that
Llebknecht was valuable to Germany
up to certain point" He counselled
against militarism, but when his mo-
mo nf
duplicated the red ruin of Russia for the
sake of q theory, and would have set up
anarchy in place of autocracy"
In much the same vein writes "The
Boston Herald:
"LiebAnecht was not builder-up. but
only puller-down lie had nothing stable
to offer in place OF the old system which
he rightly sought to destroy"
The Baltimore American" declares.
The mans killing under the circum-
stances does not reflect any discredit unon

ance of brain or Of morals"
However, many papers have high
praise to bestow. While. almost invari-
ably, writer's lament the fact that Tieh-
knecht's idealism was 80 uncompromiss
ing and visionary" many are quick to
proclaim him a man of exceptional quail
tiles.
Finally, the irony of the situation is
clearly brought out by The INDIANAPOLIS
