in PLOT TO REVOLT
Widespread Military Conspir-
acy to Overthrow German
Government Charged.
By WILLIAM c. DREHER.

By Cable to The Star and New York Tribune,
Copyright. 1920.
BERLIN, October 30.-The social
lists Of Chemnitz have discovered what
socialist papers call a regular con-
spiracy under the mask Of the So
called Steel Helmet Society for the
overthrow Of the German govern
ment"
The socialist journals assert that
the steel helmet socially is strictly
military organization, with army Of
ficers acting as its leaders in diff
ferent parts of the country.
The revelations also throw light
on connections said to exist between
the Steel Helmet Society and the So
called Orgesch. a secret society, with
headquarters in Munich, which takes
Organization Escherich." It was
founded and is led by DR.. George
Escherich, sometimes called the un-
crowned king of Bavaria
Close to Government.
The organization has close relations
with the Bavarian government, ac-
cording to the socialist report, and
has extended itself over most Of the
country. The ostensible object of the
orgesch is a protective klu-kluxism
against the reds. Although it is sup
posed to eschew all military matters,
the Orgesch is said to have been be-
hind the refusal of the Munich gov.
ernment to surrender Bavarian arms
to the national government and its
inslstence upon the right to maintain
home guards - -

DOPE ON ELECTION
GIVES HARDING ALL
0DDSFOR VICTORY
Correspondents Who Have
Followed Campaign Sure
He Will Win.
BY N. O. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK, October so.-A group
of Washington correspondents Of i'm
portant newspapers the country over
foregathered today at the two ma
tional headquarters to hear the re-
spective national chairmen make
their last-minute claims on the out
come Of the election. These news
paper men have been on the road
since the middle of May, when they
started in on the pre-convention
work. They have Travelled the coun-
try from coast to coast and some of
them have been across the continent
twice.
They have been trying to get what,
in the vernacular. is inelegantly but
descriptively called "the real dope" on
the election. There is another group
of the Washington writer's at national
headquarters of the two parties in
Chicago. Every night they exchange
night letters over the wire, telling Of
their conclusions as to the outlook in
their immediate fields. Down here
we tell the western men what we
think Of the trend here and they tell
US what they hear Of how things are
going in the west.
Both Claim Victory.
Today they heard Chairman White
| predict a great democratic victory
and they read Chairman Hays claim
by states of an equally important
republican victory. The newspaper
men listen politely to these claims,
! realizing the necessity which impels
each of the chairmen to make the
boasts. Then they go away and check
up the claims Of the professional
politicians with their own knowledge
| OF conditions cleaned from many
sources.
The practically unanimous Judgment
OF these correspondents, some Of them
partisan democrats, some Of them ar
dent republicans and others independ-
ent and neutral, is that Harding and
Coolidge will carry the country in a
| great sweep and that the Senate is
| close, with the republicans having
just a shade the better Of the pros
poets.
And then we separate and go our
ways. wishing the blooming election
were over and glad that it isn't GO
ing to come again for four years, for
at this stage of the proceedings every
one finds himself practically writ
ten OUT; If the readers aren't tired
Of it, the writer's certainly are.
| The latest news coming in today
from the west is that the democratic
hopes in Kansas are riding to a fall.
Chairman White Of the democratic
committee got the visiting corre-
spondents all heated up over some re-
ports he was receiving from Kansas
of great upturn in the vote there.
They set to work on the wires to
check up this information. The re-
plies coming in agree that the state
is set for republican victory.
