workers' Republic Formed.
According to the Telegraph. in
Western Germany a so-called
Workers Republic" is reported to
have been established. The Soviet
authorities claim that the left wing
of the workers army extends from
Dinslaken via Holten to Dorsten,
that after very serious fighting
Dorsten was captured, and that in
the neighborhood of Holten an ar
mored train had to stop on account
of the track having been torn up.
Parts of Germany where Bolshe-
Wiki are very active are confronted
with scarcity of food, according to
the Telegraph. At Dortmund the
ration of bread has been fixed at
two Kilograms per head. In many
towns great privation Is being suf-
fered. and in the country places
numbers of armed workers are 60
ing, around demanding food. Sew
eraf prisons have been thrown open,
and not only political prisoners, but
other criminals are free. At Bochen
119 criminals are said to have been
liberated and at Essen the number
was far greater.
Reaction Against Treaty.
Diplomatists at Washington gen.
orally agree that the claims of the
labor unions would bring about
Germanized Bolshevism. Attention
is especially called to the demand
of German labor for the national
ization of German industries. For
eign circles generally are inclined
to think that President Ebert will
grant the spirit, even when he will
refuse to grant the letter of these
demands. Gnder any circumstances
the German situation, it is figured
here. will react against the, treaty
of Versailles and the possibility of
its peaceful execution.
