In fact, the Indictment made no such

have sustained it if made. The indict?

against its superintendent, three for#

These employees and the corporation

Sunday are the effect that in its out?
ward aspects the revolution as ob?
served in Berlin is ?till in a chaotic
stage. The Reichstag, which is the
soldiers' and workmen's headquarters
had been converted into an armed
camp. Hastily orj-anizt^d and ec?uippec
squads of Red Guards were bivouackec
in the richly carpeted lounging corri
dor.
Travel-stained soldiers and sailor:
slept close to stacked rifles or sat ii
luxurious armchairs munching chunk
of army bread. Every inch of the rloo
?-pace of the big gilded dome buildinj
was devoted to some phase of the revo
Intionary organization committee. Th
rooms in which formerly reactionar
campaigns were planned were similarl;
employed.
There had been no clashes betwee
civilians and Red Guards. The arme
conflicts had" been confined to the re*
olutionary army and officers in cor
cealment, who, it is said, were bein
assisted by cadets and boy scouts.

! postpone indefinitely the summoning

Tageblatt" admits that the majority
i Socialists probably were wise in ex?
cluding the non-Socialists from th?
government, but says the postponement
of the' convening of a national assent

Germany is to tread the road of de
i mocracy or of dictatorship.
"The Hamburg: Fremdenblatfe" Ber?

a few men and that while the majority
?Socialists feel that only a dictatorship

it shall remain in power only until the
