BERLIN, April 8.?The proclamation
j of the soviet republic of Bavaria is
! generally interpreted here as of tre
i mendous significance for Germany's
I future, marking probably the dissolu?
tion of the German state.
The Munich radicals arc relying con?
fidently on extending the soviet system
?ill over Germany, or on making the
River Main the boundary of Bavaria
and Prussia. The latter idea was dis?
tinctly favored by an Independent So?
cialist speaker at u meeting in Berlin
Sunday of the Soliders' Council.
The Munich Extremists even enter?
tain the hope of spreading the reign of
the proletariat to all the great indus?
trial nations. They address themselves
"to our brothers In France, England,
Italy and America" and urge them to
imitate their example. The events in
Munich greatly embarass the Weimar
Mieif-.fives by the format ion of a new
Assembly, It remains to be seen
whether or nol this move Is no! too

Ten Arrested
In Crusade on
Drug Traffic
Confirmed from pnK<" 1
States Commissioner Hitchcock, before
whom the ten men under urrest will ?
be arraigned to-day.
Until a few weeks ago, Major Porter
said, it had been practically impossible
to obtain a conviction against licensed
physicians and druggists under their
system of selling cocaine, morphine,
heroin and other narcotics only by pre
. cription.
On March 25. the United States Su?
premo Court held that a physician
could not lawfully prescribe drugs
merely to give an addict relief, but was
compelled to issue each prescription
for the purpose of cure. This decision
removed the last barrier behind which
the illicit drug trac had been carriec;
on, and allowed the authorities to acl
swiftly.
Two Girls Among Victims
Most of the addicts brought to head
quarters were young men in their earh
twenties, although two young girl:
were included in the number. Aftei
they had been detained for an hour
they begged Major Porter for relie
from their craving. When several o
the addicts fainted, he ordered care

be administered to those who appearei
to require it.

The government had been looking
forward to the congress with grave ap?
prehension and the air had been full of
rumors of Spartacide troubles brewing.
The government, therefore, took what
appear to be ample precautions for the
protection of the public and drew a
larger force here trian at any time
since the revolution. One saw to-day
detachments of soldiers in automobiles
riding through the streets carrying
machine guns.
I'eople Fear Worse Fate
Meanwhile the people are nervously
and anxiously watching the course of
developments, fearing the worst and
predicting a reign of anarchy which
will leave nothing of the old order of
society. Even men of intelligence and
? prominence, who were regarded until
now as of sober judgment, speak of
Bolshevism as a means of "saving Ger
