Paris-The overthrow of the "bour. geois" governments of Spain, Italy and France is outlined in documents seized after a search following the discovery of widespread Communist plot The date fixed by the Commun- ists for this event was May l, 1921.
 The contemplated arrest of two Communist members of the Chamber of Deputies, alleged proof against whom Judge Jousselin has delivered to M. Marraud, minister of the inte- rior, seems to have brought tho French to a realization of the import ance of the attempt against the se- curity of the state.
 Discoveries made by the police Of Barcelona and Milan show that the plot included the three European Lat in countries Transmission of funds was effected through an American financial organization, with European headquarters in Paris and branches in Berlin and Vienna.
 Soviets have been organized through out France with Brest as headquart- CTS, according to the police, ready to take over the railroads, banks and transportation and all civil services. The plot appears to have been organ ized without the knowledge of M. Cachin, leader of the French Commu- mist party, against whom the police say they will not demand the lifting or parliamentary immunity.
 The discovery of checks emanating from Berlin and paid through an American transportation company ap- pears to have caused revulsion e9 feeling in French political and officfS1 circles and also among the working mems committee, which so long as the leaders professed to be working for principles" were willing to sup port them.

SHOULD MAINTAIN
 FORCES IN HAITI
REAR ADMIRAL KNAPP PRh- SENTS REPORT FROM lNVESTI-
 CATIONS IN REPUBLIC.
ARE SEEKING EXPLOITATION
Report Shows That Agitation For Self NRule Comes From the Would Be
 Cratic rs-Work To Gain the Sympathy of Americans.

Washington.-The United States, having put its hand to the plow,' in Halt, must not now turn back through withdrawal of the American forces there, Rear Admiral H. H. Knapp de- cleared in report in which he pre- sented in final form the results of his Investigations in the island republic for the Navy and State departments.
 Agitation against the American oc- cupation of Haiti, Admiral Knapp said, is inspired by desire on the part of small group, which he said represents at the most less than five per cent of the population. This group of agita' tors, he added, is working to gain hearing and the sympathy of the peo- pie of the United States, although their real object is to obtain abroga' tion of the treaty between the United States and to bring about return O. the old conditions of government.
 Could this be attained the re- port continues, "I think that 999 out of every 1000 Haitians would be glad to see the American forces remain to enforce good order. In other words, the Haitians. even the worst agitators among them, would be willing to have the United States act the part of po- liceman and otherwise leave them tC their own devices.
 The 95 per cent would be exploit ed for the dishonest benefit of the five per cent if these ends were at tained. The 95 per cent would enjoy less real freedom than they do now. Should the United States now with draw, leaving the political agltators to their own devices, 1t would, in my opinion, be surrendering the true in tertsts and true freedom of 95 per cent of the population and encouraging the unworthy minority to go on with its dishonest, arbitrary and tyrannieal methods. While it is probably i'm. possible to say graft does not now ex- ist, it is concealed graft. unknown to the United States treaty officials.
 'The people of the United States, the admirals report said, should not allow themselves to be deceived by the words republic of Haiti into be lieving that there exists in Haiti or ever has, q republic in any sense founded upon the expressed will of an intelligent and educated electorate.
