German Government
Warns Berlin People
Against Revolution
by ,. ID. WEYER,
international News Service Staff
CORRESPONDENT.


BERLIN, July 19.-In the face Of
continual, open prediction of civil
war, the German government today
issued a formal statement warning
the public that any attempt to over
throw the government would be put
down "ruthlessly and with force, no
matter whether it came from the
left or the right"
This statement included the decla.
ration that 1.-The majority of the peo-
pie are not willing to be dragged
through criminal folly into a bloody,
internal struggle"
The newspaper Vossiscte Zeitung,
in commenting upon the warning,
pointed out that civil wars are not
loosed by the majority, but invari-
ably by small groups of desperadoes.
For some weeks both the COM
munists and monarchists have been
charging each other with prepare
tions for a great coup by force Of
arms.
The government statement today,
which was deemed necessary in view
of the continual prophecies of revo-
luton and war, emphasizes that the
federal government is cooperating
closely and tremendously with Prus-
STA to prevent al uprising. Minister
of Interior Severing of Prussia is a
thorn in the side Of the extreme ma
tionalists, who accuse him of flirt-
ing with the communists and so
cialistS.

In a supplementary report, Mr..

"On the Boston and Albany we

as high as four times. In one case
the workers received pay for re.
moving 900 flues in a boiler which
contained only 202 flues. Such

the result of demand on the part

granted by the officials"

1t is emphasized now that the
inquiries for revealing all such
alleged practices are purely i'm.

The chief charge against him is
that he ruined the railroads during
