Followior la the story captured by
the -white ruards in Bambenr. Bavaria.
The courier to whom I had intruated
the telegram endeavored to fruatrate
the snard. by eatlnr the entire article.
Thla -was written In Munich on April 14.
. I was standing in the midst of irreat
crowd in Marien-plats. It wii Sunday
afternoon. I bad Just aent a story an
nouncing the overthrow of the aoviet
republic of Bavaria. Whether the story
ever: sees the H(ht of day or whether
any of the chronicle dispatched from
Munich arrive anywhere hereafter ia a
nlatter of discouraging- doubt. For
Munich today to cut off from the out
aide world. - Neither tralna nor automo
biles, v neither airplanes nor' wheelbar
rowa are entering or leaving the city.
TOOPS 81!1I OUT
But to return to the Marien-plats,
Sunday afternoon and the fascinating
Bavarian revolution I stood in a crowd
listening to the talk. There was much
talk. - The republlo guard troops In Mu
nich had sold out to the eld govern
ment. . These troops- numbered some
10.000. " Like most garrison troops In
Germany today they are neither a pro
tection nor a menace. Fifty thousand
marks $1S,50 will buy an entire ear
risen for a day. The garrison will then
undertake ' assist the purchaser to do
anything: from reestablishing the kaiser
to. invading; Afghanistan. In fact the
srarrison would do , almost anything in
reason except fight. It was by the pur
chase of this garrison that the Hoff
mann, government at Nuremberg over
threw the soviet republic for a few
hours or until the situation was reduced
to the point of actual warfare.
' The crowds in Marten-plats and
throughout the city were arguing, curs
ing and laughing bitterly at the humpty
oumpiy aspect oz tne Bavarian politics.
Kverywhere now placards announcing
the return of the old Hoffman regime
. blossomed on the old Munich walls. The
bourgeois appeared swinging canes and
jesting confidently that "decency and
order" had returned. In the cafes the
burghers were celebrating the fact with
bibulous Joy. I wondered what had be-

Everybody's doing it. Doing what? Why, going to Paris with an armful of protests. It's a free trip with
plenty of extras, and Paris look s good these days. 1 he latest mission to arrive in we rencn eapuai
Is that from Poland. It Is composed of polish peasants who protest against their district being incor
porated ia the Ciecho-SIovak republic. Thejr have quite original ideas on this subject, almost as original
as their costumes. The ghoto shows three of the' Polish peasants dressed In quaint garb telling their
troubles to a group of entertained Yank doughboys and Tommies on a street In Paris.
come of the masses I had seen-a week
ago thousands upon thousands of stolid prtdes of the lorry while above the. driv-
faced workers Dourlne through the
streets of Munich. I began to believe
that Professor Bonn had been right
that there was no organised mass move
ment, but merely a : neurasthenic vibra
tion of the people sick with hunger, idle
ness and defeat. :
WEARY OF BETOLTS
Buddenlv a terrific din arrested my
reflections and a motor lorry loaded with
thrust their questioning noses over the
er'a seut a huge red banner flapped
crasily In the wind. Raising their
weapons above their heads the wagon
load; of soldiers let out a cheer, "Long
live the soviet republic l" A half
hearted 'cheer came from the crowd In
reply. Th . e was seemingly only thla
handful of faithful reds against the en
tire white guard garrison.
The Socialist element in Munich was
la bit weary of revolutions. If It wasn't
soMiere and marines came charging into one thing It was another. If somebody
the pJatx, Half a dozen machine guna 1 didn't shoot -the revolutionist leader
somebody else appeared and purchased
the entire revolutionary army. The
crowd remained staring wqnderlngly at
the wagon load of cheering marines, at
the red rig and at the questioning
noses of the machine guna. Then sud
denly the huge crowd began" melting.
The melting cf crowds Is a j phenomenon
which none who has not witnessed tne
German variety of revolution can under
stand. Lone practice has perfected the
melting capacity of the average Ger
man crowd which would astonish even
so knowing a master of marvelous il
lusions as Keuaft ; tne ureal. , xne : oe-

gime in Nuremberg.
PIFE UEFT FOB RIFLE
And at ? o'clock the proletariat began
to arrive. There were men from the
factories and farms and from the little
shops of the carpenter and shoemakers.
They came pouring into tne heart ox
the city. They were In their working
clothes but some sported the Bavarian
holiday attire a green velvet suit
with white vest amazingly ornamented.
a velour 'jdora with rakish, feathers
rising from the rear. But this time the
proletariat had ieftthelr long pipes at
home. Instead they carried rifles hung
across their backs and hand grenades
stuffed in their belts. They came by
the thousands a curious, unmilitary
host crying out in dialect never heard
in the hotel lobbies. There were no
leaders. Their political leaders had
been arrested and their military leaders
had deserted. I watched them pouring
through the streets a sinister, disor
ganised rout without apparent purpose.
without apparent direction just a nera
of working men with guns.
The lorry of the red flag appeared.
The swarm of working men fell In be
hind. They started for the railroad sta
tion, where, inside of the rambling
structure, the white guard had taken
Its stand. At 8 o'clock the battle opened.
Ud and down the old meandering streets
of Munich it raged. Entrenched in wein
stubes. behind windows, the proletariat
bombarded the white guards. The white
guards surrendered. They would have
surrendered sooner but for the fact that
the working men had shot out all the
lietata in tUe street. This so terrified
the white guards that they were afraid
to try to surrender in the dark. Within
another hour a field artillery regiment
had surrendered after a perfunctory dis
charge ofseveral of their pieces.
8CEXES ABE, DISAFFOIICTIJra
Alt night I watched the working men
darting through the streets, calling to
one another in the darkness and storm-'
ing one building after the other. Un
organised, without leaders, in the
Lclothes they wore in the factories, the
working men with guns swept tne gar
risons clear, swept the police stations
clear and swept the bourgeoisie of f the
streets t-id out of the offices. I expect
ed to find Munich in ruins when the
dawn came. Judging from the tumult
the old city had been reduced to a pile
of smouldering debris, full of mangle
bodies of countless victims. Instead I
found the streets hopelessly in order.
Barring a few bullet holes in the rail
road station and the buildings adjoin
inp not a window had been broken and
n.t a single shop looted1 In the sta
tion itself I found a guard of armed
shoemakers and foundry workers pro
tecting untouched heaps of baggage.
Several scores or rrussian orricers
known as leaders of the anti-soviet
movement had been arrested. Ernst
Toller, Max Levien and half of the cen
tral council arrested by the white guard
garrison the Cay before had escaped. As
for the white guard garrison, there wu
no such-thing to be found. In all there
had been 100 casualties during the night.
The remainder of the white guards had
switched again and become protectors
of the soviet republlo. This time their
allegiance served them to little purpose.
Beginning early in the day communist
pAtrols, numbering from five to 10, went
about disarming , the garrison troops.
Working men with guns had established
this latest soviet republic and had not
ift the business in the Hands or auoioua
mercenaries or garrisons.
Today the situation is sun in tne air.
Herr Toller is back in the government,
but above him now sits a central coun
cil. Nervous guests were ousted early
tnda.v and a trooo of working men with
rgune arrived as the advance guards of
the new soviet government, xne ais
araraent of the bourgeoisie is now pro
ceeding with increased liveliness. I
watched a procession of old Alpine
huntsmen, women and children arriving
at the war ministry building loaded
down -with ornamental muskets, anti
quated pistols and: every variety of
weapon to be found! over the mantel
pieces of Bavarian homes.
HUMORS ARE RIFE
As for a prophetic survey of the gen
eral situation, I feel at this moment
averse to oracular statements. Rumors
that the soviet republlo has been called
out in the Ruhr district, that Saxony
Is on the verge of going Bolshevist, that
Italian troops are advancing upon .Mu
nich, that food will give out in a week,
that Prussian armies are within a
stone's throw of the Munich towers
these and a' dozen others make the day
an exceedingly interesting one. but news
gathering a hopelessly uncertain func
tion. Despite the more radical char
acter of the present soviet I am con
vinced that if the soviet republlo ir
niinwut tn nroceed unmolested there will
be neither murdering nor plundering.-If
the soviet Is cut off, however ir neuner
