In Germany a dangerous Monarchist plot has been discovered, and
the plotters have been arrested or dis- persed. Hittler, the Bavarian Fascist, and Ludendorff are both involved. Unquestionably Germany might have been plunged in civil war during the next month if the plot had not been discovered. The Communists, on the other hand, continue to control Saxony. The path of the Government is not an easy one. But Dr. Cuno has certainly gained in popularity and his Govern- ment in prestige through the prompt and capable sup- pression of the Monarchist plot by Herr Severing, the Minister of the Interior. At Munich a Prussian Chan- cellor has been received with acclamation. This is the first effect of the French attempt to dismember the Reich.
