Conspiracy Reported Behind Berlin Street Disorder
A Berlin police claim identifies a socialist conspiracy as the root of recent unrest, separate from the socialist democratic party. The plan allegedly targeted the Imperial family at the palace to deter military action, with Walsall anarchists in Britain linked to the broader plot and German financiers backing the dynamiters. The London police see a shared thread with German anarchists, and see the affair as a justification for stricter repression.
