Evidence at Hand. All evidence at-hand in the past few weeks has shown quite conclu- sively that the Spartacists and the Independents were endeavoring to prove conclusively to Germany and to'the world that they had moderat- ed. Certainly, in general, they adopted a new course of tactics from that pursued last winter and spring when rioting and bloodshed were the order of the day. Their new course appeared to consist in formentation of strikes and other internal troubles government and hampering the na- Would Take Advantage of tional life that the existing regime Winter Months But Plot Is Unearthed EVIDENCE OF ACTIVITY would be overthrown. Now, however, the evidence of the government cdntained in documents seized from imprisoned Spartacists shows that whereas sabotage and kindred weapons were probably fav- ored by the bulk of the communists. there was another group that be- HAS BECOME KNOWN | lieved in “direct action” of the worst sort.

Berlin (By Mail.)—Communists of a dangerous type are afoot in Ger- many. Their plots for the winter are com- ing to light. These range from milk demonstrations to organized murder. And, while leaders are innocently de- claring that the intentions of both independent socialists and commun- ists are peaceful, the government is constantly rounding up documents proving that at least among certain groups of communists, there exist plans of the bloodiest nature. Government disclosures leave lit- tle room for doubt that some of the wilder spirits among the Spartacists proposed to form a murder-bund that would do away with political oppon-] ents. For instance, Munich newspapers, Prussian Ministerpresident Hirsch, and the military are authority for revelations in- the closing “days of September showing that among other things, the Spartacists planned the following: (a) To do away with a large number of officers and soldiers in Munich, slaying them as they slept; (b) that a group of reds from Mun- ich proposed to biacklist a number of prominent officials, draw lots and then ‘“put away” the condemned; (c) that, particularly in Munich, plans were afoot for creation of red ‘“‘shock troops” to use against the regular military particularly against monarchistic officers; (d) that in cases of demonstration, women and children were to be put in the fore ranks to shield the cowards behind from the machine guns of tne govern- ment to probe even more deeply than before into the secret workings of the communists group. This general investigation led to a number of ar- rests, including the haul at Halle wherein about a dozen or very radi- cal stripe were captured. It also proved to the government’s satisfac- tion that Blau was killed by reds who suspected him of being a spy. Munich Fruitful. Munich continues to be a fruitful source of communist agitation. Some of the reddest of the reds have their headquarters there. From these headquarters issue secret orders which every now and then fall into government hands and. prove that not only are these agitators willing to harm, and even halt, the national industrial life, but have no really sincere desire to benefit the laboring men. Instead, it has been shown, the agitators are fattening on prole- tarian funds, some of which emenate directly from Bolshevik Russia, and others of which are collected from the ‘“‘brethren” in Germany, Austria and Czeko-Slovikia. Part of the program of these agi- tators is to give their course an air of respectability by recruiting “in- tellectuals.” One set of documents obtained re- cently shows that orders were out for the radical press to cease making any harsh attacks upon the government “in_order to lull the officials into a sense of security.” The same set of orders declared that the ‘i‘ntellect- uals” must be organized and that their aid nlust be obtained in fur- thering the communist cause. An intellectual is what in the United States would be called a par- lor bolshevik. Many of these people who honestly believe .in the cause they preach, are being used as tools of paid, professional agitators who work with poison, guns, and propa- with a view to so embarrassing the !

How widespread the membership in the “murder ®entrals” was, is not entirely evident at this time. Com- munist sources claim that these gx‘o\lps did not represent the senti- ment and the intentions of the rank and file. The government, on the other hand, contends that these groups and their plans were certain- ly sufficiently strong to plunge the country into a reign of terror tius winter, and perhaps to spread the germ of communism actively to the rest of Europe.
