London, March 13th.-Phe re evolution

it is impossible to say. We never dream

TO understand it,.
Berlin, March 18th. The old Govt. Is
Dresden, Saxony, has issued a manifesto
in which it denounces the resurrection as
the work of old adventures which will
collapse by it's own weight within a few
days. 1t announces that all orders and
DEGREES issued by the new Govt. are lille
gal and will not be recognized, and calls
the attention of army offici Is to the
breach Of their oath. The GOvts. of Ba-
varia, Baden and ~#urtcmburg have also
issued proclamations in which they de-
clare that they are i~mmovably opposed
to the inconsritutil al N 4chinations Of
reactionaries. These Govts. recognize
only the Imperial Govt. and the National
Assembly, saying that in this they are
backed up by the will of their peoples.
Berlin, March 13th,-Ihe Chancellor
of the New Berlin Govt. and Major Gen
eral LuttwitZ have issued the following
proclamation: The overthrow of the
Govt. must not be taken as r|eactionary,
but on the contrary it is a progressive
measure of pa -riotic Germans of all par
ties, with the view of re establishing
law, order, dicipline and an honest Govt.

to lay the foundations for the economic

to fulfill those conditions Of the peace
