all his friends together He boasted In
a loud voice that he was going 10 sive
the golden bird a terrible beating. And
he was so pleased with himself that
some of his companions whispered to
one another that it might be a good
thing if the golden bird gave Jasper
a sound whipping.
AT last Jasper Jay called out that he
was ready. And then he started for
Farmer GREEN'S barn, while the eager
crew followed close behind him. They
all alighted on the ridge of the barn
And like Jasper Jay, they sat there -or
a short time and stared at the golden
bird, who shimmered like fire in the
santing rays of the setting sun.
Jolly Robin and Bennie Barn-Swal-
low had seen him before; so thcy
weren't surprised. But all the others
gazed at him in amazement.
Now, to Jasper Jay the golden bird
looked enormous. He was perched
high up on a rod which rose above
the roof. And he seemed very proud
and disdainful. In fact, he paid no at
tention at all to the curious flock that
watched him.
For little while nobody said a
word And Jasper Jay was the first to
speak.
"Fiddlesticks!" he cried. This is
but barnyard fowl He's a
rooster-that's what he isl"

FIRST OF TEN ALLEGED
RADICALS CHARGED

Continued from page one)
New-York tribune., 1920-04-04
Confusion Has Resulted From
Worlds Fear of Bugbears of
Prussianism and Bolshevism

minor princes took wing and a new
government was formed which was
in namo and appearance not only
democratic, but even sociaIistic.
Upon this government devolved the
heavy task Of making peace with a
victorious enemy and at tho same
time restoring order in a disturbed
nation Such was the genesis of the
Ebert regime and Of the Bauer
chancellorship. The movement which
produced it is described in German
accounts as the bourgeois revolution.
But in reality it was hardly a
revolution at all. What had occurred
was that the old regime had volun-
tarily handed over the power to
that portion Of the Socialist partv.
the majority, which had, from the
beginning Of the war, supported the
war and stood Loyalty behind the
militarist and Junker elements. To
this militarist and Junker group it
became clear that for the moment II
was necessary to retire, or to seem
to retire. Moreover, the mass Of the
German nation believed that this
more or less sham reform would
take in the Allies and procure ad-
vantageous peace terms, while it
was similarly calculated that the ex-
trenlst revolution, which the mi
norlty Socialists were precipitating
could more easily be suppressed by
Socialist than by a reactionary
government.
What followed is obscure in de-
tail but unmlstakable in It's totality.
The majority Socialists, coming to
power promptly, assigned to the old
and reactionary elements the task
of suppressing the real revolution,
and the old military gang did sup
press it with cruelty and violence
recalling the German procedure in
! invaded regions in the first days of
the war. Masses Of revolutionaries
were machine-gunned. Leaders, like
Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg,
were assassinated by officers with
out semblance Of trial. Such hon
est and constructive Liberals as
Kurt Eisner were similarly murdered
by those representing the old order.
Deceiving the Allies
Thus, in brief time, real revo
luton was stamped out in Germany,
and while the power remained nomi-
nally in the hands of Ebert and the
majority Socialists, actually this
power was illusory, because it had
been acquired by voluntary assign
ments by the old order and main
tanned by the guns and pistols Of
the army, still commanded by men
Of the old regime. 1t remained for
the Social Democrats to perform
their task of deceiving the Allies and
obtaining terms which could not be
got by the imperial and military
elements. This duty performed, the

2 Plot Behind the Kapp Revolution" in German

Trotzky. and thus insured the COL
lapse Of KornilofF, the swiftly fol-
lowing fall Of Kerensky apd the
ultimate triumph Of the Bolshevists,
led by Lenine and Trotzky, who
forthwith inauguratcd real revolu-
tion in Russia, the progress of which
has not yet been interrupted.
Whatever was the motive Of the
Ebert government, its tactics were
imme ediatcly successful In a very
few days it became clear that the
reactionary revolution was doomed,
because the labor1ng classes were
not only hostile to 1t, but 80 we'll
organized that by the use Of gen.
eral strike they could force an i'm
mediate capitulation- This capitu-
lation came within the briefest time.
Kapp and his associates and the
military elements which had been
brought to Berlin retired. The road
was open for the return Of the
Ebert government,
But the situation now took a new
turn. Ebert had turned to the real
radicals, to the Independent Social
lists, for aid to defeat the counter
revolution and it had been supplied,
as Lenine gave aid to Kerensky
against KornilofP, but the Independ-
ent Socialists were in no mood to
accept Ebert on the old terms. To
them Ebert was traitor, who had
consented to the murder Of Lieb-
knecht and Rosa Luxembourg, to the
merciless repression of the original
revolution. He was the creature
and agent Of the reactionaries, and
this fact had been clearly demon
strated by the course of the Ebert
government in the first moments of
the Kapp uprising, and by the ease
with which the Noske military or
ganization had been disposed Of by
the old militarists.
The general strike had been In
voked against the Kapp group, but
it remained available for use against
the Ebert group. Kapp had quit
promptly, but the Independent So
cialists, the mass of the laboring
classes, seemed now determined to
continue the struggle until all
chance Of repetition Of the recent
uprising was rendered impossible.
What the Independent Socialists
now sought was to use the power
that had come to their hands to
force the creation Of a Cabinet
which should be beyond the control
Of the old gang and to bring about
dispersal Of the Noske military
forces, which in the recent cmer-
gency had shown themselves the
ready tools Of the old Prussian mill
tary clique
Now, this was nothing moro nor
less than an effort to continue the
fight, begun in November, 1913, to
produce a real revolution, a genuine
change Of conditions, to take the
military and the civil power from
the hands of the representatives Of
the past imperial regime, which had
heen, in fact, exercising it through
the medium Of the Ebert govern
ment, itself the product Of sham
revolution permitted and engineered
by Prince Max Of Baden and by the
more adroit members Of the former
