PARIS, Nov, with Germany
perhaps on the verge Of civil war
the situation in eastern Europe has
suddenly become exceedingly tense.
Soviet Russia gives every sign Of
contemplating armed Intervention in
Germany in behalf of the German
communists, opposing. IL necessary,
even Poland and France. The Soviet
garrisons on the Polish and Lettish
frontiers recently have been consid

German left, and that Germany,
with or without Anglo-American in

of arrangement with France, thus
leaving Russia completely isolated,
1t is entirely creditable that che So.

has come to cast the die.

mier Poincare, speaking today at
the Inauguration of a soldiers me-
mortal here, stated that Germany
had been forced into a systematical-

certain classes Of the population
have been reduced to misery for the
