GERMAN UPHEAVAL.
BAVARIA A REPUBLIC. SPARTACISTS TAKE HOSTAGES. (A. & N.Z.) NEW YORK, March 3. The Rotterdam correspondent of the "New York Times" states that what might be described as a Bolshevik republic has been established in Bavaria. A Food Commissioner has been appointed in Munich, and all food is allocated in such a manner that labourers will obtain double the rations issued to the bourgeoisie. A list of 50 names from the upper classes has been prepared, and the persons listed will be held as hostages. If the necessity arises, if one revolutionist is killed by the reactionaries 10 hostages will be shot.
