' %I cannot think of any provisiqn in hA* upon which tha former emperor o\1d have to be given up,” he said. Bu that is nmot a question which losly concerns us. We have sepa- ated ourselves from him, and now esire only that guilt for the outbreak £ the war should be finally fixed in rder that he may be exposed, once or all.” Ag to his view of the future Ebert id am optimistic, but you must re- pember that our influence upon tho !

There were three women among the 450 delegates. During the organization of the con- gress it became evident that the inde- pendent ialists and the Spartacus group were greatly outnumbered. A lopment was that none nt posts in the congress were given to delegates from Berlin. The Spaiia s group made a futile attempt to intimidate the congress. Larly in the olution was submitted that % Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, leaders of the Spartacus group, be invited {o attend the congress as guests with advisory | powers. Presentation of the resolution caused a great tumult throughout the hall. The follower: of Dr. Lieb- knecht and spectators in the gallery jolned in the uproar, which lasted 20 minutes and threatened {o result in various fist fights. The resolution then was defeated, 5 to 1 Later while Herr Mueller, chair- man of the workmen’s section of the executive committee, was speaking, the chairman of the congress inter- rupted to say: “There is a comrade present who wishes to submit a communication.” The newc er announced that he represented 250,000 workmen who were then gathered ou ie the Dict building. He read a list of demands identical with the Spartacus pre including retention of all power the soldiers and workmen’s councils, no natlonal assembly and the forma- tion of a Red Guard. This aroused a storm of protest and in the general uproar the intruder left the chamber. 'he 250,000 workmen who he said werc outside the building proved to be about 7,000 from five factories, whom the Liebknect agents had in- | duced to go on strike temporarily. In the meantime Dr. Liebknecht suc- ceeded in entering the building and made a specch to the crowd from a window. CITY ITEMS. $4.00, Manicure sets, $1.75, $13.00 Adkins, 36 Church § Arvt.
