BERLIN, June 1.-THE Ravarian
Socialists, realizing the futility of
armed action against the monsrchists
HI their state, have decided to put the
issue squarely up to the national gov
crnment. If Chancellor Wirth will
make good his determination to dis
arm and disband the miiitarist bodies
in Bavaria, and will enforce the ma
tion's will there over the dictations
of the Jun&ers, he will retain the sup
port of the Socialists. But if the Chan
cellor yields to the murder campaign
that the Bavarian monarchists are or
ganizing TO prevent the dissolution of
the Einwohnerwehr and the Orgesch,
the Independent Socialists threaten to
withdraw their support and thereby
pYecipitate national Cabinet crisis.
The Independents will carry this
matter to the Reichstag and demand
what the Wirth government is going
to do, The government is apparently
willing TO conciliate the independents,
as seen in yesterdays order abolishing
in many places the extraordinary
courts dealing with cases of extreme
radicals. Freiheit publishes with ex-
treme satisfaction and in large type
the Entente's refusal to extend the
time limit for the dissolution and dis
armament OF the Bavarian militarist
organizations.
Tension Grows in Munich
The tension in Munich is increasing.
The Bavarian authorities forbade in
strations arranged by the Socialists of
Munich and are threatening to halt at
nothing to prevent them
general strike is proceeding in
nearly all centers of Bavaria, alth ough
the government prevailed upon the
yellow unions to run troileys in
Munich The regular streetcar men
who attempted to meet were dispersed
by the police. The whole railway sys-
tenn of Bavaria is expected to halt on
Monday. There is no doubt that the
Bavarian reactionaries, supported by
the peasant population, are extremely
strong and in a position to crush any
uprising which the Communists are
trying to provoke against the advice
and efforts of the other Socialist
parties.
A series of city-wide protest meet
lngs IN Berlin has beer called by the
Socialists for tomorrow, Vorwaerts
printing the following appeal:
white terror is raging in Munich
Counter revolutionists, monarchists
and the Orgesch crowd are practicing
unheard-of terror under the protection
Of the Won Kahr government and war
criminals. All means of violence, ter
ror and brutal suppression are being
employed at meetings. and radical
speakers are being assaulted. mistreat-
ed and murdered, the Independent
Gareis being the latest victim of this
organized Mafia. The workers of Berlin
must support the workers of Munich
and prevent the triumph of the COM
bined efforts of the Prussian and
Bayarian counter revolutionists."
Reactionaries Angered at Won Kahr
Indications are clear that the ex-
treme Bavarian reactionaries, angered
az Won Kahr because of his yielding
to Wirth's pressure to disarm the
Einwohnerwehr, are seeking to provoke
situation wherein Won Kahr will be
compelled to retire and open to the
world the establishment of an unadul-
terated White distatorship in Bavaria.
This view is strikingly supported in
the Regensturger Anzeiger, Won Kahr's
organ, which sees in the agitation OF
Escherich, who founded it, and Colonel
Xylander an effort at "nationalist
dictatorship"
The paper publishes document
which, it says, sis intended to inter-
fere with the peaceful operation of the
state machine" The Regensburger
Anzeiger asks:
"ls it true that Colonel xylander ap-
peared recently before the leaders of
the government bloc with the demand
than Won Kahr, who proved so weak
in his dealings with Berlin, must be
oyerthrown?"
Inc paper adds:
THE German Nationalists, through
their organs which openly called for
the sabotaging of the national govern
ment as we'll as melted violence, are
guilty of the crime of the assassination
OF Gareis, which again threatens great
mischief in Bavaria"
Such talk from Won Kahr's organ
must be regarded as sensational. 1t
Is becoming increasingly clear that the
baVarlan reactionary extremists are
preparing some spectacular action
iooking to the restoration of the mon
archy in Germany. With this end in
view they are casting longing ewes
toward Russia, where they expect the
return Of monarchy. A Congress$of
AuSsian monarchist leaders has just
concluded at Retchenhall, Bavaria,
where they found refuge after being
refused permission to meet in Berlin.
me congress was held in secret and
tne question now asked is what prom
.ses the Russian monarchists gave to
sne Bavarians in return for their hos
pitality.

JARED Press).-A prominent leader
