"I nnself," ho continued, "havo never made any secret of my Jewish origin l But I cannot help watching with some apprehension tho ever-Increasing num ber of Jews ki all the public offices, men 1 as well us women. This number la far out of proportion to tno actual percent age of Jews, among the German people, and must lead to discontent If not re stricted to reasonable l'mlta." Delegates to Bavarian garrison and troops from tho front met in Munich yesterday to constltuto a State Soldiers' Council, which will ally ltceir with tho State Workers and Peasants' Councils to form a provisional national council The .State Soldiers' Council must not be Identified vvltn tro Munich Soldiers' Council, which. In accordance with lUsner'3 ideas, objects to an early as sembling of tho national convention On the contrary. It was no seciet that the Stato Soldiers' Council wib decided in favor of an early convcntio.i. llsner IMeadu for Dtlaj In order to sway Its opinion, Premier Klsner addressed the meeting and sought to convince It that the national conven tion must be deferred. lie made a ref erence to the demands voiced by various newspapers; but, being a Joumalint hlnW self, he knew only too well what, was behind the maddening cry: It is novnmg out. mo guilty con sign Itself, though reluctantly, to the Governmont'n decision. Tho Berlin local .Soldiers' Council, which seems to bo undergoing a purging process, will almost certainly declare for the Government within u day or so, and then the executive committee of the combined Berlin fcoldleis and Work men's Council must announce whero It stands. x Tho loading Gplrlt In this body Is Itlchard Muller, who not long s.go do clared that the way to a national con vention would only lead across his dead body. Since that time, however, Multer has had considerable experience In the art of governing, and If the Berlin com mittee's decision were ndverse at pies ent, duo to one man, It would faco al most n certalntj that the great conven tlon of Soldiers and Workmen's Councils from all over Germany on December 10 would express Itself decidedly for tho Government. Then Is sufficient evidence of this dally at tho Gov eminent offices from Soldiers and Workmen's Councils throughout tho country Demanding an Immediate national convention. Besides, i by December 1C, the influence of the j returning soldiers will already have made Itself felt, and no doubt In favor of a national convention. I Tho elections were planned on the basis of the status of the old German empire, meaning that they wcro to In cludo Alsace-Lorraine, but not yet (Ger man) Austil.i.

'Don't believe one woid jou sec in tho newspapers Today jou may read my position is shaken But there is not a. particle of truth In it " He asserted that ho had not seen the newspapers in three weeks Ho had nol time. Tho only danger threatening, lie1 said, was tho restoration of conventional I parliamentarism, whlc.li would eliminate! any influence of the soldiers' peasants and workers' councils As long n3 ho wa.s In power ho would seel: to prevent that with all his might Ho ended by saving. "Ju't have patience a few weeks more ; then w o shall h.iv o conquered them We shall not only hav p secured . the frultb of tto revolution Wo shall also havo peace."

It is generally supposed that the ten dency now prevailing In tho Soldiers and Workmen's Councils is a sufficient guar antee that their general meeting In Ber lin December 1G will approve tho Gov ernment's decision. The Berlin local Workmen's Council, which Is in session now, will make known Its attitude to ward the national convention within a few dajs. In all probability It will re- ter of the Berlin Government, said 'We cannot work togcthet with thojp men Solf does as he likes, without even consulting Kautskj I am under the Im pression that In Beilln, nftoi the fcaitul ehaustlon of th war, the exhaustion Is so great that It will la.i ait energy Thut Is vvhv wo Intended to let sumo fresh mountain air In on them ' Tho seriousness of the situation must not be underestimated, for tho For eign Oillce belongs to the old sjstem.
