anything to- do with the turn in politi-
cal events it is impossible to say.
Attention is being called to the latest
statement of the Reich shank. which
shows great increase in the flood of
paper money.
The proclamation issued by the old
regime, calling on the people for a
general strike, declared that it is the
only means against the return of
William H. The following is the
proclamation:
Worhmen comrades: The military
revolt has come. Erhardt's naval di-
vision is marching m Berlin to en-
force the recognition of the imperial
government. The mercenary troops
who were afraid of the dfsbandment
which had been ordered desire to put
out the reactionaries into the minis
terfal posts.
We refuse to bow to this military
constraint. We did not make the revo-
luton in order to recognize again today
the bloody government of nercenaries.
We enter into no covenant with the
Baltic criminals Workers, comrades,
we should be ashamed to look you in
the face If we were capable of acting
otherwise.
I'VE say mo- And again no. You
must indorse what we have done. We
carried out your views. Now use
every means to destroy this return of
bloody reaction.
'sThrottIe Dictatorshfp.,
Strike. Cease to work. Throttle
this military dictatorship. Fight with
all your means for the preservation
OF the republic. Put aside all divi-
sion. There is only one means against
the return of Wilhelm II. Paralyze
all economic life. Not a hand must
move. No proletariat shall help the
military dictatorship"
Let there be general strike along
the entire line. Let the proletariat
act as unit"
