"THE WITCHES' CAULDRON"
NO PRACTICAL ADMINISTRATION ( I "BOLSHEVISM WILL TRIUMPH !" (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPIRIGHT.) (AUS. AND N.Z. CABLE ASSN. AND RBUIER.) (Received December 5, 9.30 a.m.) THE HAGUE, 3rd December, The whole German press complains of the inability of the Soviets or the Executive Committee to carry out the practical , administrative work. In the various Socialist groups there is nothing but discussion, and clubs are involved in fierce quarrels. The Deutsche Tageszeitung says : "If misrule continues Bolshevism will finally triumph."
Under the heading "The Berlin Witches' Cauldron" the Cologne Volkszeitung describes an extremely rowdy meeting of the Berlin Soldiers' Council, revealing many scandals connected with revolutionary methods of administration. It also disclosed that officers burned important documents which had recently arrived from Brussels, showing the old regime's responsibility for the war. The discussions become so heated that the Bavarian, Baden, and Alsace delegates withdrew, declaring that the Berlin Council had adopted terrorism. The Baden representatives subsequently were induced to return.
