their move was futile, was, in fact,

Ruhr Reds Beaten.

Fears of Il general red revolt in Ger

causes of this uprising, has been set

the influence OF the same forces that
brought about the boishevik revoIu-

Germany cannot be stampeded into
communism. In the first place the
people of that country are too intelli-
