RUSSIANS LEAD

Hand Of Lenine's Agents
Seen in Spartacan
Successes.

Soviet agents; sent into Germany

ly directing the spartacan revolt
now raging In many parts Of that
country. according 10 advices to dip
lomats here Saturday.
Since the death of Karl Liebknecht
the Spartacans have had no leader,
and therefore, IL was at FIRST be-
lieved here that red uprising would
only take the form Of scattered dis
orders. Developments Of the last
few days make II appear. however,
that there is an active directing
head He is believed to be one of
the men who managed the over
throw of the Kerensky regime in
Russia.
Semi -official advices received here
indicate. however. that the reds in
Germany are far from being vic
torious as yet and there Is more
than an even chance that the at
tempt will fail. because of the quick
end of the Kapp coup without pro-
longed hostilities between the Ebert
and Kapp factions.
There is no confirmation of the
rumor that a Rolshevik army crossed
the border into Germany. and off,

proved by the administrative COM
mittee of the FederAi council of
the Churches OF Christ in America,
II was announced today by the Rev,
Charles Mcfarland. Fenetal secre-
tary OF the council. A preliminary
meeting of an International COM
mittee to arrange the details for
the larger meeting has been called
to convene in Geneva, Switzerland,
August 10-11, 1890.
The plans under consideration
will involve the assembling of the
most widely representative Chris
tian gathering OF modern times,
said DR.. Mcfarland. THE Roman
Catholic church has had its councils
such as the notable Vatican coun-
ell under Pope Plus TX In 1870. and
Protestant. churches have for sew
eral decades been holding great in
ternational meetings which have
been practically ecumenlcal confer
ences.
The last of these was at Edin-
burgh, in 1910, and marked a great
advance In unified plans for foreign
missionary propaganda.
"While the great church councils
Of the Middle Ages. where emperors
popes, cardinals and other princes
and prelates, with their trains OF
attendants. sat for months in con-
n a
picturesqueness by this modern
gathering. and while the questions
to be discussed do not partake OF
the profound theology that absorb
ed the attention of the earlier coun-
ellis, yet In practical accomplish
ment for human welfare it should
