GERMAN MILITARISTS
REPORTED POWER
Frame All Edicts, Which Are
Signed and Issued by
Ebert Government.
London. Special dispatches from
Berlin report that the suppression of
the recent Spartarau outbreak there
baa shown that military and mon
archist reaction is growing and over
shadowing the new government
The Berlin correspondent of the
Mall who on February 27 sent a dis
patch outlining plans for a monarch ist
prising la Germany has arrived In
Load on, having left Berlin on March
14 after a residence there of three
oaths. Ha reiterates the statements
ta bis dispatch, saying President
Ebert, Chancellor Scheidemann - and
Minister of War Noske are merely
nppeta. He declares that for the pur
pose of retaining power they have al
lowed members of the military caste
to reappear as organizers of the new
republican armies. .
"These men are the real governors
f Germany," he says. "They make
the edicts and Chancellor Scheide
aaann and his colleagues willingly sign
ttem."
Similar testimony Is given by other
correspondents in telegraphing from
Berlin. The correspondents concur in
the statement that extreme bitterness
baa been created against the govern
ment troops and that further trouble
Is inevitable.
Aocording to a dispatch to the Mail,
the Spartacan revolt will certainly re
ur In ever-increasing force unless a
miracle happens. It adds that Herr
Hoske's forces have been recruited by
bribes and promise of big rations and
that to this may be attributed some of
the food shortage in Berlin.
We PfrtauTtiThhient oT a league 6T na
tions should be made an Integral part
of the treaty of peace, la final and
that there Is no basis whatever for the
reports that a change In this decision
Is contemplated.
If President Wilson insists that the
league of nations be Incorporated In
the preliminary peace treaty, the Brit
ish, It Is understood, will concede the
point, although they still believe that
the preliminary pact is not the proper
place for the Inauguration of the
league, which, they declare, should be
Included in the final peace pact.
This attitude was Indicated after
the announcement that the American
delegation strongly desired the Inclu
ion of the league In the preliminary
treaty, as well as In the final pact
HUGH C. WALLACE
ALLIES TO DICTATE PEACE
German to Sign Pact or War Will
Continue, I View.
Paris. The present determination
In peace conference circles Is that af
ter the allied and associated powers
have reached a complete understand
ing regarding the conditions to be Im
posed on Germany, the German dele
gates will be called to Versailles, but
they will not be allowed to discuss the
conditions, the intention of the allied
and associated powers being to dictate
peace. 1
Either the German delegate must
accept the terms and algn, or a state
of war will continue. The general
opinion here Is that In view of the
Internal aituation In Germany, the '
delegate of that country will accept
rather than expose the country to a
graver risk and more drastic measures.
