SPARTACIST REVIVAL
FRESH RISINGS PREPARED. LONDON, August 21. The Berlin correspondent of the "Morning Post" states that the German Government announces that reports have been received from various districts that the Spartacists are preparing fresh risings. It is expected that these will take the form of strikes, pillaging, campaigns to destroy the harvest, thefts of farm produce on a large scale, and the interruption of traffic. The Communists are confident that the shortage of coal will assist their plans. They also consider that the lower classes will support them owing to the heavy taxation, which will shortly be imposed. The occurrences in Upper Silesia are regarded as the precursor of a definite attempt to overthrow the Government, which declares that it has taken precautionary measures. . A widespread disinclination to work exists, together will abundant evidence of the imminence of a Spartacist outbreak of seriouß dimensions.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
