WASHINGTON, March 13.-News of the revolution in Germany sus- tained the conviction of some officials and diplomats here that a test of strength between the socialists and the military and the conservative element was inevitable.
 They said the AIiland conservative parties had used every demand of the entente for the enforcement of the armistice and peace terms to goad the pride of the German people into re- sistance and had not found it difficult to fasten responsibility for the accep- tance of these terms on the Ebert gov ernment.

 Officials said, however, that the req olution might indirectly play into the hands of Lenine, by giving a new and powerful impetus to the SpartaciSts' movement. The rise of any reaction ary regime against the government Of social democrats, it was said, natur- ally was calculated to provoke the communists and radical socialists to extreme action.
 This view seemed to be borne out by the first move of the Ebert gov ernment-the issuing of proelama- tion calling on the proletariat to join in a general strike.
 With the revoIutionists in control in Berlin and the Ebert government set up in Dresden, some observers here regard civil strife as practically cer- tain Military officers said the out come very probably would depend upon the loyalty of the Ebert govern ment's troops. though it was admitted that if a general strike took place, tho socialist government would be given a very powerful weapon.
 Official news of the revolution did not reach Washington until late in the day and added nothing to press dis patches. The first message was from the American legation at The Hague, and was somewhat garbled, and the second was from Paris
