SPARTACUS CONFERENCE AT BERLIN.

ANTAGONISM TO THE GOVERN-

MENT,

ILLNESS OF THE KAISER

(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association)

London, Jan. 1. A hundred delegates, representing the whole of Germany, attended the Spartacus Congress at Berlin, and passed a resolution of antagonism to the Independent Socialists.

They also decided upon the formation of a new party, to be called the Communistic Labour Party, or Spartacus Band. The dramatic appearance of Radek, who arrived secretly, caused a sensation in the congress. Reports from Holland state that the Kaiser has a cold with high fever, and is unable to leave his bed.
