GERMAN GOVERNMENTNOT ANY TOO STRONG
If Present Administration Fails, OnlyRadical Socialistic Movement
is Possible.Pari?, April 3 (By the Associated
Press). The former Deri in corres-pondent of the Associated Press, re-
turning to Paris after six weeksdevoted to a study of conditions inGermany left that country with thedistinct impression that, the tenure ofthe present coalition government wasby no means secure, although it isfor the moment in control of thesituation; that no alternative excepta radical socialist administration witha strong drift toward a Soviet re-
public is possible if the present gov-ernment fails; that a renewal ofSpartacan activities against the pres-ent regime by further strikes and up-risings is almost certain; that al-
though the great mass of people areopposed to a Bolshevik government,they can count only on the compara-tively sms 11 force of Noske volunteertroops to keep down this insurrec-tionary movement, the masses atpresent being politically too apatheticto give more than passive support inan emergency: that while the Noc-k-
troops hi'.ve been able to handle tho.Spartacan insurgents s--o long as theycan take seolional uprisings in turnsuccess would be difficult if theSpartacan and their independent.socialist allies should be able to stagea really general strike and insurr.ee- -tion.
If the Spartacan leadership is notable to organize such a widespreadmovement the government probablywill be able to maintain itself untilpeace is signed.

TEMPORARILY HALTS
Handwriting Experts Called to
Testily at Inquiry
London, April .1. The court-marti- al
of Captain Edmund G. Chamber-lain of San Antonio. Texas, on rceov-venin- g
today announced it had decid-ed to admit in evidence the photo-graphic documents offered by theprosecution at yesterday's session.
.tPheso documents, which inui 'H-e-
prepared by William Webb of theBritish war office were, enlarged re-
productions ol" the hand-writin- g ofCaptain Chamberlain of typewrittencopies of reports alleged to have, beenmade by him regarding his reputedair exploits and the supposed signa-tures of British officers on the re-
ports, which it is charged by the pros-ecution that Chamberlain wrote.
At the request of the defense the.court postponed the further examina- -
tion of Webb nntii the fietense eouiusecure the services of a' hand -- writingexpert.
In asking for the delay. Don.-i.ld- '
Harper, of Captain Chamberlain'scounsel, stated that although thebooks containing the documents borethe date of February 4. the defensehad been given no inkling of the in- -
mntiin of the iroseeution to call ex-th- at
oert witnesses and argued itwould be unfair to the accused to gointo technical testimony without giv-
ing him the benefit of expert counsel.Mr. Harper told the Associated Pressthat he purposed securing the fore-
most expert in London.The court, had expected to adjourn
todav to in Paris aboutApril 9, but unless the hand-writin- g
experts are taken to Prance the hear-
ing may be continued here indefinite-ly.'
The court-marti- al has been in ses-
sion since March 24, but the Britishpress appears just to have discoveredthat the trial was going on. So manyreporters came to the courtroom thismorning that there was not enoughroom for them all and only the news
agency representatives were admitted.Miss Lillian Vaucours, a sister of
Major Vauoours, with whose squadronCaptain Chamberlain was reported tohave said he visited on his trip to theBritish front last summer, testifiedtoday that Major Vaucours' signa-ture, anoearing on the alleged Chamberlain reports, was not in her broth- - ,
er?si hand-writin- g. At Monday s ses-
sion of the court the records of theRoyal Air Force had been introducedto show tha-- t Major Vaucours was kill-
ed in action in Italy a fortnight priorto the time of Chamberlain's allegedexploit.
. After examining Miss Vaucours thecourt adjourned tomorrow afternoon.
