PARIS FEARFUL; SUSPECTS
 A NEW GERMAN PLOT
Revolution Breaks When Allies Have Their Hands Full; May be
 Coalition.

Paris, March 14.-It is a long way from Berlin to Beirut, via Moscow, but every allied foreign office in Europe 1 today connects the present Berlin revo lution with the growing tensity of the ], situation in Asia Minor. Information al evr $ feel sure of a connection. They reason as follows:
 Smir Feisal has proclaimed himself king of Arabia with a dominion over a vast area already claimed by the British and French.
 Mutapha Kennel, military leader, of the Turkish nationality, is head of an army of 30O,OO0 Turks in Asia Minor officered by Germans.
 In the Caucasus region, directly to the north,, Brussiloff commands the tan on the east shores of the Caspian Sea on the west and also officered by Germans. Directly across in Turkes- tan on the east hores of the Caspian Kurkopatkin commands an equally strong 'Red force. Both of these forces constitute serious menace to the un- protected British interests in Persia immediately to the South. Enver Bay diplomatic leader of the Turkish nationalist movement. has just completed a tour throughout Asia Minor, during which he has been com menting on Mohammedan unity. Two weeks ago after a short stay in Der lin it was reported ne had started for Mocow by airplane
 The English delegation, first to let down in the demand for the German war culprits, did apply to the Noske- government for delivery of Enver Bey, which would indicate the English were not unaware of the objects of the Turks mission in Berlin.
 Last of all, Ludendorff is in Mos COW.
 England Realizes Danger.
 Asia Minor is the new arena of ac- tion. England realization of this fact is supported by the presence of strong naval contingents in the Bos- porus and steadily increasing land forces.
 French appreciation of the. situs tion coupled with undisguised bitter ness, is we'll expressed in front page editoral in the Paris Debats:
 "Anglo-Egyptian agents and lead CTS of British troops in Syria did their best to incite the Syerians against France They would dispossess France of Syria to absorb 1t for themselves. They made Emir Feisal into DOT tentious figure as candidate for the throne of Syria. They have created with their hands a danger against which they will have to fight.
 Tt cannot be supposed that Feisal has made his proclamation without as- surance of support. It is not denbted that the Germanophile Turkish Ma tiOnal party under Mustapha Kennel and Enver Bey has been promised that support on the basis of a general reli- gious uprising in Asia Minor against the allies.
 At the same time there has been a close alliance between the Turkish Nationalist forces and the Soviet de- stroyers of Denikine. Thus Syria is linked with Turkey and southern Russia. With this situation calling for immediate attention of the allies in Asia Minor, the other unit of the combination actis for the purpose of dstracting and dividing allied effort
 Revolution Under Suspicion.
 "I'hat action occurred yesterday in Berlin :n the form of a bloodless revo- lution executed not without evidence of an accord existing between the reb- els and the party overthrown. The same troops that placed Noske in power ten months ago are the ones who marched into Berlin to mark his overthrow
 Not the situation on the Rhy1e tightcns. Nor the attention of France is divided between her difficulties in far-cff Syria and the more immediate menace to her northeastern frontier
 Observers of these events perceive in their peculiar intrrelation the gravest possibilities of new war. In
