Troubles To Foment a Revelation
Soviet Republic Is
Planned.

Berlin-The Communist outbreaks
in the industrial centers OF Germany
and the concerted attempt by the
German Bolshevists to provoke a gen.
eral strike throughout the country are
viewed by the government as an un'
mistakable symptom Of a plot, direct
ly traceable to Moscow. The estab'
lishment of German Soviet republic
is their goal, a government spokesman
charged.
With regard to the evidence tho
government could adduce to support
his convictions, Herr Severing, Prus'
sian minister of the Interior said:
1--WE base our belief on unimpeacha'
BILE circumstantial evidence in our
possession, and also point to the public
utterances of accredited Communistio
leaders, who openly designate tho
present period, when Germany is sore
ly tried with problems growing out OF
the entente's invasion in the West and
the Upper Silesian situation, as the
most opportune movement for a re-
volt.
"The German Communist party
takes it's orders from Moscow, and one
need only follow the manifestos daily
appearing in its official organs to To-
cate the fountainhead Of this inquiry"
The rioting in the Saxon province
the minister added, was also produc'
tive of tangible evidence Of the COM
plicity of Soviet agents in the instiga'
ton of the present disturbances. he
said he strongly suspected, however,
that the cue for the present insurrec.
ton miscarried, and that the signal
found the extremists elsewhere than in
Prussian saxony disinclined to join
the movement or timid about acting
"The impending collapse Of the
present coup and the fact that 1t now
is lapsing into plain outlawry," con-
tinued Herr Severing, must prove in
opportunity embarrassing to the
Moscow government, which is seeking
the re.establishment of diplomatic and
trade relations with the United States,
England and other countries, at the
very moment that accredited emissa'
rles of Sovietism are attempting to
festablish Bolshevism in Germany with
the aid of pillage, destruction and ar
son."
