the founding of the German empire
tho "Marseillaise" was played by a
German band heading a procession
down I'nter Den IJnden today.
Present Indications are that saner
councils will dictate governmental
policy In Germany. The convening
of the constituent assembly Is being
urged in diplomatic and political
quarters not Identified with the pres
ent, cabinet on the sole ground that It
will facilitate peace negotiations. It
Is believed that Hugo Haase, secre
tary for foreign affairs, and Wllhelm
nittmnnn, secretary of demobiliza
tion and transport, Justice and health
are receding from the attitude that
the new republic Is to be purely so
cialistic. Tho more moderate mem
bers of the government are not dis
posed to rigidly exclude bourgeoise
elements from the government. Dr.
Karl Liebknecht, the leader of the
radicals, is apparently deserted by
his former colleagues. Secretary

an allempt to iustiCv the war on the

bv several niominir newspapers
creating an uncertain situation which
is rendered more doubtful by no
counts of the activity ot tlertnan

The fear mainly is that the former

the center of a reactionary movement
in (lernuinv when Ihc present revolu

On the other band, the fact of the
former ruler placing himself or being
placed in (he hands of the new rulers
