Dr. Bugen von Knilling, who became head of the government last| month, {s the nfth = premier this southern German state has had dur- ing the four years since monarchism was abandoned in November 1918. Tht révolution which put the last of the Ludwigs into the discard at the same time installed the soclalist, Kurt Elsner, in charge of the new regime, Eisner's radical ideas and practices embittered many Bavarians who clung to things imperial, and his term of office was cut short in Feb- ruary, 1919, by assagsination at the bands of Count Arco-Valley. ' Johannes Hoffmann, a majority so- clalist who had been minister of edu- cation under Efsner next took up the reins of power, but fled the capital in April, 1919, in the face of a “Red Republic” uprising. ' This' movement was crushed about four weeks later and Hoffman returned to the pre- miership. Under his tenure of of- fice a new constitution declaring Ba- varia a free state, was adopted the following August. A surge of reactionary feeling car- ried in Gustav von Kabr, a national- ist, as Hoffman's sueccessor,. .dating trom May, 1920. Von Kahr figured prominently in various public capaci- ties, ‘'one of which was co-organizer of the Bavarian military force known as the Einwohnerwehr, in comipany with George Escherich. Political new vote for premier on July 16, 1920, and von Kahr was retained in office, forming & coalition cabinet of the bourgeoise parties. Dierences within the Bavarian peo- ple's party over negotiations for spe- | clal considerations of Bavaria within the republic, led to the selection:of Count Hugo von Lerchenfeld, a mem- ber of this party, as premier in September, 1921. Count Lerchenfeld is married to an American. He re- signed from the head of the govern- ment early last month, following criticism of the rightists that he had been too weak and submissive in the face of the Berlin government. The new premier comes from the same political party as did his prede- cessor and has always lived in. Ba- varfa. Doctor von Knilling, was born | in Munich August 1,, 1865, and was edueated here in the public schpoll, the academy and the university.

Today, with the secopd Jargest state 1o the new Germian republic, noted as the hotbed of Germany's reactionaries, von Knilling takes over the administration of fits 76,420 kllometers and 7,140,883 inhabitants durlbg a period of ‘most trying poli- tics. His selection has been vpposed in the press of the extreme right on the grounds that Bavaria's pregent. day needs demand rather an eco- nomist than an educationalist as pre- raler, About him, within the state, na- tionallsts and soclalists alike 'have been agtually arming, each faction claiming this action necessary for self-protection. Reports have been frequently circulated during the past few months that a ‘“putsch” was contemplated for the purpose of re- storing the monarchy, The socialists declared November 11 had been se- lected as “the day” and urged rein- forced watchfulness over the reac- tionaries after November 6. | The ‘nationalists, who have come to be known as Bavaria's “fascisti,” as- sert they have armed - themselves merely to defend the soverelgnty of the state and to guarantee public or- der. Of late their activities have be. come more open and more vigorous, due to encouragement from the suc- cess of facistism in Italy. A com- paratively unknown agitator named Hitler has risen as a candidate for the “Mussoliniship” of the state. Munich has long been a bee-hive for the monarchial elements of the republic. The notorious organization consul, which spread {ts nationallst tentacles all over Germany, was found to have its headquarters here. It 1s In the south that the soclalist government at Berlin sees its greatest dangér from domestic quarters, and any coup started here, if only for a Bavarian monarchy, it is feared, might easily prove all the spark that is néeded for the reactionary tinder lying about In other parts of the country. Von Knilling’s selection was born of a desire on the part of the poli- ticlans in power to present a stiffer backbone to Berlin. - This attitude already has found a pointed expres- slon in the state's opposition to the way in which the federal government wished to administer the new law for ‘“defense of the republic,” which was framed ‘after the assassination last June of Dr. Walter Rathenlu, then forelgn “minister. Bavaria' stood out fbr the riglht to try in her own courts such offenders as were found within dier borders, and only receded on the point after the central administration agreed to do nothing lmplsnln; upon the state’s rights. It remains to be seen to wha.t ex- tent the new premier will carry on the previous pelicy. In his ginau- gural address on November the anniversary of the' German revolu- tion, he reiterated Bavaria's’ loyalty to the republic. In the same speech, Dr. von Knilling admitted there was some basis for the fears that the Mmmmw THE BEST .
