Fall of Kapp Imminent
?COLOGNE, March 16 (By The Asso?
ciated Press).?The resignation of Dr.
Wolfgang Kapp, Chancellor of the new
government in Berlin, is considered im?
minent, it was declared to-day in re
jVoxts received here. Field Marshal von
Ifindonburg has written to Dr. Kapp
advising him to withdraw.
The letter of von Hindenburg is de?
clared to be having a marked eficct.
COPENHAGEN, March 16. ? Field
Marshal von Hindenburg, former com?
mander in chief of the German armies,
has made a public declaration that he
is not connected with the counter revo?
lution, of which he disapproves, says
th? Hanover "Tageblatt,"
LONDON, March 16?The position
of the Kapp government is critical,
Field Marshal von Hindenburg and for?
mer Minister of Finance Helfferich
having refused to support it, according
to a dispatch to the Exchange Tele?
graph from Berlin, by way of Amster?
dam.
Kapp Given Ultimatum
The imperial office for the distribu?
tion of cereals has issued an ultima?
tum demanding the resignation of
chancellor Kapp within twenty-four
hours, the dispatch says.
The new government at Berlin held
a Cabinet council last night, which was
mttendc?* by General Ludendorff, for
riirr first quartermaster general of the
German array, the dispatch continues.
?STUTTGART, March 15 (By The As
neiated Press).--Refusal to negotiate
tgHth the reactionary faction headed by
Ifr. K?pp wns decided upon here to
dtav bv the council of the old Cabinet,
o*(>r which President Ebert presided.
Unconditional resignation of the lead?
ers of the new government was de
rrt'andrd by the Ebert Cabinet, which
arrived here this afternoon by a spe?
cial train from Dresden. The National
Xsembly will meet in this city
Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
(Announcement wa_ made that the
Iftei t government is in contact with
?most all points in Germany.
???The constitutional government,"
?ads an official announcement, "re
Sses to negotiate, being responsible to
tpe people for the maintenance of the
Constitution, and negotiation would
eerily occasion distrust and confusion,
t?d would prolong disorders."
? "Certain as it is that the Berlin
^nt.ure will collapse of its own weak?
ness and confusion." the announcement
tftclared. "the fatal political and eco?
nomic consequences of this step are to
b? deplored."
President Ebert and Minister of De?
fense Noske "have suspended General
Serker, commander of the troops in
iftxony, who sought to effect a com?
promise with Chancellor Kapp. They
have turned over his command to Gen?
eral Mullor. President Ebert in a state?
ment to a correspondent of the Wolff
Bureau, the semi-official news agency,
sai?! concerning the change:
"General Merker had no mandate
from us to negotiate with the Berlin
lpsurgents. We told a representative
of the coalition party that wc would
maintain our demand for the uncondi?
tional withdrawal of the insurgents.
p'The situation in the country is
changing more and more in our favor.
Avaria, W?rtenvberg, Baden, Hesse,
Saxony and all northwest Germany re
nuiin faithful to the constitution. The
insurgents have found adherents east
of the Elbe, and others have been re
cMuitcd principally from among ihc
old reactionaries."
Tiesi'lont Ebert said he was certain
ati overwhelming majority of the Ger
mfan people would pronounce themselves
in favor of a democracy.
'PARIS, March lt?.?Official informa?
tion from Berlin this morning showed
tfyat the compromise reported last
night as having been accepted by the
FHJert government merely constituted
the conditions offered, which were re?
fused because the Independent Social?
ists withdrew owing to. dissatisfac?
tion with the labor clause, while the
Democrats and Majority Socialists
WjOuld not hear of Gu3tav Noske being
replaced as Minister of Defense by a
general.
Chancellor Kapp is regarded now in
Paris as having lost his influence, this
beir.fi shown by his refraining from
attempting to form a Cabinet and an?
nouncing that he is leaving the former
government officials to carry on the
work of their departments. These of
3fiais are believed to favor the old
pvernment. There is, however, a mili?
tarist element determined to fight to
tjje end for control and theru- is a
workers' clement equally determined
to oppose the militarists, the govern?
ment's advice indicates.
'.GENEVA, March 16.?One of the con?
ditions proposed to the Ebert Cabinet
hijf General von Luettwitz was that de?
mobilization of the German army as
provided by the Versailles treaty
?tust not be executed and war materials
npt destroyed, according to Premier
liaurr of the old government, says a
Stuttgart dispatch to the "Neue
Z?richer Zeitung."
(?Premier Hauer also quoted General
vt>n Luettwitz as saying that the em?
pire instead should prepare for a new
WPr. The Premier added: "After such
?condition, what aims Kapp and his
?complices are pursuing can be
judged."
Strike Spreads;

LONDON', .March IG.-The general
strike called by President Ebert of
(jfrmany as a weapon to defeat the
?as:?
revolutionists wa? spread!nf to-day, I
according to reports received here. ]
Th^railwaymen throughout Germany
joined the walk-out to-day, declaring
their solidarity with the workmen of
the country. Only food trains are run?
ning. , , ,
The civil and military authorities at
Casscl and Oldenburg arc said to be
supporting the Ebert government.
The boatmen and dockers on the
Rhino have struck in protest against
the coup of the Kapp government, says
a dispatch to "The London Times" from
Antwerp.
A general strike order was issued
in Aix-la-Chapelle to-day. The stores
were closed and several thousand per?
sons paraded the principal streets.
Crowd, gathered in the center of the
city to watch or take part in the dem?
onstration.
The equestrian statue of Emperor
William I which stands in a conspicu?
ous spot was painted red by some of
tho manifestants.
Kapp Losing Ground
The adherents of Chancellor Kapp
are fast losing ground at Benin, ac?
cording to latest advices by way of
Stuttgart. Employers and business men
have announced their opposition to the
Kapp government by closing their es?
tablishments.
It is reported that a large number of
Reichswehr officers, at a meeting in
Berlin, have reaffirmed their allegiance
to the old government.
The executive committee of the Cen?
ter party has adopted . a resolution
branding Chancellor Kapp and his asso?
ciates as criminals and traitors.
Conservative parties in Germany
were reported in early dispatches to be
supporting the new government with?
out, however, being directly identified
with it. Wcstphalian miners were said
to have taken a neutral attitude, the
only condition they have laid down be?
ing that the Republican constitution be
maintained.
Socialists Foresee Victory
The Independent Socialist party, the
trades union leaders and the Work
mo.'s Council, who iit cooperation have
been engineering the general strike,
have, according to a Berlin dispatch to
"The Star," issued the following joint
proclamation:
"T'ne counter revolution has tri?
umphed. It is through you that the
freedom of the working classes, the
revolution and the "cause of soialism
must be defended to the last man and
the last woman.
"Every worker and every official ir
this hour of destiny must reeognizf
there is only one solution, namely, t
gen.ral strike along the whole front.
"Workmen, workwomen and officials'
Away with party distinctions! . B(

tionary socialism; 'You have nothing
to lose but your chains!'"
BERLIN, March 16.?The Associatior
of German Officials resolved at a meet
ing yesterday to strike unless the nev
government retired. The printers wen
stiil on strike.
The working- classes were much ex
cited against the Kapp administrate
as a consequence of the shooting of i
young girl in the South Berlin railway
station and the killing of four person,
in the North Berlin industrial sectioi
by guards, according to a Berlin dis
patch to "The London Evening News."

WASHINGTON, March 16.?Retur
of the Ebert government to power i
Germany, forecast in to-day's pr?s
dispatches, is confidently expected her
by officials who have received directl
from Berlin reports that indicate a
early restoration of the old gov?rr
ment.
The dispatches, which were not mad
public, carry the strong intimatio
that the Kapp-Luettwitz governmer
would fall because no strong backin
had developed for the reactionar
party. The reported repudiation c
the counter-revolutionists by von Hit
denburg was considered significant ?
indicating that thus far no outstandin
figure, except von Luettwitz, had di
veloped in the upheaval.
"The new government may ha\

It can hardly be expected that the hai
common sense of the German businei

THE HAGUE, March 16 (By The As
sociate<} Press).?The Berlin corre?
spondent of the "Nieuwe Rotterdamsche
Courant" telephoned this message to
his paper last night;
"Germany is a rudderless ship.
Kapp's undertaking proves increasingly
to be not an achievement, but a politi?
cal, boyish trick. The new government
is seeking on all sides for support, but
realizes that support is nowhere to bo

not so serious, one could see tho hu?
morous side of this operetta revolu?
tion.
"Kapp supported his ?fforts to win
over the independents by proposing to
form a Cabinet embracing the extrem?
ist Left to the furthest. Right, but this
na?ve plan naturally miscarried. The

To Occupy Berlin
Troops on the Move
Inside the Rhine Area;
100,000 Men in Line
From The Tribune's European Bureau
(Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc.)
LONDON, March 16.?Although the
Allied leaders believe the Kapp gov?
ernment will be short-lived they are
prepared for any eventuality, and as a
first step a general movement of
troops has begun inside, the Rhine
area. If necessary Allied soldiers will
move to occupy Berlin, as well as all
other industrial centers.
CQBLENZ, March 16 (By The Asso?
ciated Press).?Tho American army of
occupation, numbering 18,000 men, is
being given full field equipment under
orders issued before the. German revo?
lution. There have been no move?
ments, however, to reinforce any posi?
tions or any military activities except
those concerned with policing tho oc?
cupied territory.
The total Allied forces along the
Rhine are estimated at slightly more
than 100,000 men.
Special Cable to The Tribune
(Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc.)
PARIS, March 16.- France will be
careful to watch over Germany for any
sign of a repudiation of the treaty.
French opinion has passed through
many phases. Whatever public state?
ments Kapp or other leaders of the
military party made, the French gov?
ernment knew they stood for resistance
to the Versailles Treaty. France con?
sequently urged the Allies to tak_ im?
mediate peremptory measures upon re
ceipt of news that the military party
was In power. It. was considered thai
the militarists intended to scrap the
treaty; therefore it was necessary for
the Allies to enter Germany to enforce
the provisions of the treaty as well as
! to take care of other emergencies made
! necessary by the revival of German
! militarism. English and a portion of
i French opinion, however, !? unwilling
j to take precipitate action.
I France, therefore, has adopted the
policy to "wait and see," resigning her
? self io the belief that probably for
i ninny weeks, possibly for many months,
i Germany is politically dead.

Workers Refused
To Bow to Kapp
Solidarity in Crisis Said
to Have Led Ebert to
Reject a Compromise
/'reiit The Tribune'* European Bureau
' (Copyright, 1920, Now Yoi'li: Tribune Ino.)
j 'LONDON, March 16.?Efforts to
; bring about a compromise between the
'. Ebert and Kapp factions in Germany
failed because the former was con?
vinced that he had the entire support
of the independents, as well as of the
Majority Socialists and the National?
ists, in the opinion of observers horo.
i The solidarity of the workers in the
| crisis, despite their political differ
' (lines, has been demonstrated through?
out Germany. Collisions between the
; police, soldiers and workers have boon
! so frequent, even in Berlin, that the
\ reactionaries plainly are alarmed. The ,
! soldiers were compelled to use their
rifles to clear the streets of Schoen- :
burg.
Troops which deserted Noske have
been attacked by the people. There has
j been much fighting in the suburbs of
! Berlin, notably in Charlottenburg. Se
' vere fighting is reported in Dresden,
; Leipzig, Brandenburg and Chemnitz.
| England is divided on the question
i of the responsibility of the Allied pol?
icy for recent events in Germany. One
group shares the general opinion in
France that the moderation of Lloyd
George and Wilson is reaping its re?
ward, and that a show of firmness
I would have forestalled the rising.
| From this source criticism of both;
these leaders is extremely bitter. On \
the other hand, there are many who
think the Allied policy of demanding !
the trial of the Kaiser and other war
criminals played directly into the hands !
of the German reactionaries. Both j
groups are agreed that the German ;
government as now composed ?3 sup- [
? ported by reactionary militarists of the
type the Allies fought and hoped to
crush ?n?r all time.

Mutinous Officer Gave
Ebert Hint of Revolt
Von Luettwitz Also Said to
Have Warned President That
Right Parties Were Uneasy
LONDON, March 16.?The Berlin
[ correspondent of "The London Times,"
j tracing the history of the revolution i
i in Germany, says the Ebert govern- |
ment got track of the outbreak by ac- !
i cidont, a Reichwehr lieutenant refus
j ing to obey an order to go to another
j part of the country. General von Luet
I Iwitz about the same time visited
President Ebert and informed him that
the right parties disapproved of the
holding of elections in the autumn and
also objected to indirect voting for
the Presidency.
Ebert refused to yield and began to
take counter measures for the plot
he foresaw. It was found that the plot
had ?pread throughout the officers
corps, and that there were many de?
fections among the safety police, but
the main material on which the plot?
ters were relying were the truculent
Baltic troops of Colonel Avaloff Ber
mondt's command in camp at Doebcritz,
which the government never had suc?
ceeded in disarming or disbanding.
By 10 o'clock Friday night the whole
of tho Williamstrasse district was
held by troops with machine guns.
People leaving the theaters were taken
completely by surprise. Seemingly the
Baltic troops had been compelled to
anticipate their march to Berlin by
twenty-four hours through tho Ebcrt
government's counter-measures.
Secession From Berlin

PARIR, March 16.?Sentiment in

varia, Wurtemberg and Baden, accord- ?

mation" from Basel. It is ?aid many |
Badenese openly are advocating joining

of the Raden Landtag to-day developed
into an Impressive demonstration in

Clerk Took $30 to Speed
Citizenship, Says German
John Heim, of Brooklyn Fed
eral Court, Is Arrested by
Marshal Power
Charged with taking .30 frofn a Ger?
man to expedite the issuing of his finnig
citizenship papers, John Heim, of
Woodhaven, Long Island, for fourteen
voaas a deputy clerk in the Federal
Court, Brooklyn, was arrested last
night, bv United States Marshal Tower
on orders of Federal Attorney LeRoy
Ross.
He was arraigned before roderai
Commissioner McGoldrick and held in
$2,000 bail for hearing on March 20.
A bondsman was obtained.
The complaint, against Heim was
made bv Ernost Joseph Brlsch, an office
manager, of 12 Gutes Avenue. When
he went to the clerk's oflice to take out
second papers on Monday he was in?
formed he would have to wait until his
name wits removed from the alien en?
emy list before he could become a citi?
zen.
He says he asked if there was any
way oflexpediting the matter and was
referred to Mr. Heim, who, he was
told, was out at lunch. He was finally
taken, he further alleges, to the res?
taurant where Heim was eating, where
he charges that the deputy clerk told
him that, he could adjust matters for
S50, so that his name would be re?
moved from the list. He further says
that he paid him $30 in two install?
ments and promised him the extra $20
when "things began to move."
Heim denies that he ever saw Brisch
before, although other deputies cor?
roborate the German's story of his in?
troduction to Heim.
'I Have Tried Everything,'
Says Suicide in Note
"1 have tried everything and have
now decided to try ihis," read one of
the eleven typewritten letters left by
Solomon Jofis, twenty-eight years old,
of 76 Delancey Street, when ho decided
to end his life by gas.
Jofis, who was found dead yester?
day, was a veteran of the war and a
j writer of short stories and phil
sophical subjects. He occupied a room
! in the roar of the dental offices of Dr.
Leon Axelrod. One of the letters the
suicide left was addressed to the
dentist and was about 5,000 words long.
Apparently tho writer had made care?
ful preparation to die. He was careful
lest an accident should befall Dr. Axel
rod, for he had left a _i{_n on his doors,
reading:
"Do not enter with, lighted cigar,
cigarette or match." One of the last
lines he had written by hand read:
"This is a specimen of a man's hand?
writing one hour before his death."
[ On top of a dictionary stand was a
! typewritten note addressed to the "Au
J ?nanties," stating that the writer had
i served two and one-half years in the
; army as a clerk, that he was an Ameri
i can citizen and that it was up to them
? to take care of his body. The noto con?
cluded: :
"I ask that no priest, clergyman or
! rabbi may say any sanctimonious
words or prayers to their" dumb gods
? over my body, that n^pathologist ques
, tion my sanity, as I am as sober as a
Mahometan and as rational as a Budd?

$1,000,000 Tax
Dodge Charged
William H. Allen, of Philadelphia, a
stockholder in the San Francisco Sugar
Company, brought suit against that
concern yesterday before Vice-Chan?
cellor James F. Fielde?, in Newark,
N. J., to restrain it from leasing its
assets to a Cuban corporation and thus
escape paying the government $1,000,
000 in taxes annually. Mr. Allen says
that he is bringing this suit from pure-1
ly patriotic motives, and if the injunc
tion he demands is granted he will lose!
$15,000 a year.
After the hearing Vice-Chan;ellor
Fielder reserved decision.
Richard V. Lindabury, counsel for ;
the sugar concern, admitted that the
proposed lease was to escape payment
of income and excess profits taxes, but
insisted that the plan was legal. In
support of this he presented an affi?

concern's vice-presidents, in which Mr.;
