THE GERMAN REVOLUTION.
POSSIBLY FINANCED FROM RUSSIA. 9y Telegranh—Press Association.—GopyrigJtf Received 8.50 a.m. Berlin, Monday. The question whether the German revolution is financed from Russia is agitating political circles, information being that independent Socialists received large sums from Russian sources. Some Socialist newspapers printed what purposes to be a wireless despatch from Adolf Joffe, former Bolshevik representative at Berlin, to Richard Barth and Hugo Haase to that effect. While Joffe did not pay German interests anything directly they were well aware whence the money came. Joffe declared Oscar Cohen, the German Under-Secretary for Justice, controlled ten million roubles in furtherance of the German revolution. Altogether 24,000,000 marks were placed at the disposal of the German revolutionists independent of Socialists, who deny Joffe's imputations.
