WOMAN PLANNED
GERMAN REVOLT
It is reported that the bandits who
held up Sangertausen, near Halle,
combined politics with plunder by de
stroying the list of voters, and that
the Communists intended to carry out
similar tactics In other towns in cen
tral Germany, beginning with Eisle
ben. There, however, the Independ
ent Socialists had posted guards over
the banks and public buildings.
The "Hallesche Volksblatt" tells an
extraordinary story of the origin of
this plot. A woman who goes about in
masculine attire is said to be the mov
ing spirit. Setting in Naumburg, she
tried to induce the Communists to
form battalions, and it is asserted that
she is really an agent -provocateur of
the Anti-Bolshevik League, whose ob
ject is to break up the extremists of
the left and incite them to rising
which would lead to military meas
ures. A sensational sequel is reported in
the newspapers, which state that the
woman in question, -Frau Schroeder
Mahnke, has just attempted suicide
by taking arsenic. Among her papers
were found interesting documents
concerning the Bre'st-Litovsk treaty,
which are said to leave no doubt that
she has been for years in the service
of the army.
