German Charge d'Affairey,
while Indicating the 'Wolfganff Kapp
regime is at tta end, suggests far
graver consequences may como to
Germany than this crisis threatened.
News received here Indicated that
the Spartlclatf, constituting the ex
treme radical wing of Independent So
cialists, and the hoodlums, which al
ways follow In the wake of great
movements, were gaining control In
Germany, due to the confusion pre
vailing In all administrative branches
of the rival Ebert and Kapp govern
ments and to Kapp's Impotency and
unpopularity.
A message received this afternoon
by way of Frankfort strengthened the
belief in high French circles that the
Spartlclsts were gaining the ascend
ency and that they had handed an
ultimatum to Kapp, In which they
gave him twenty-four hours to with
draw -his Government from Berlin,
failing to do which they, the Inde
pendent Socialists, would march on
Herhn at tho expiration of the time
limit.

the Ebert Government will return to full

conceal their fears that grave acts may
bo committed by tertaln ila!M-3 In the
German capital, since the poor have a
real economic grievance to back up what
malignity they bear for Kapp. I

This would seem to d!pose of re
curring reports that Hlr.denburg is the
masked figure back of the revolution I
and merely Is awaiting th
right time i
for bin entrance upos the stage. It is
raid here that Hlndenbur;'s real attitude
Is to give the Ebert Government every
chance to fulfil both German and allied
expectations, especially on the eve of
the economic loan to Germany proposed
by the Allied Supreme Council and other
aid promised by the Entente.
Aitrmblr FallD to Meet.
The German view of the revolution
was well Mprwd In the words of ono
of the Ebert envoys here:
"The Kapp faction should not be called
a government or even a regime." he said.
"It Is nothing more than an nbortive ges
ture, doomed to early and certainly
later failure."
Tho German delegation here had a
telephone message from Stuttgart at noon
to-day. The message said the Assembly
had not met, due to Inability to obtain
a quorum. This situation, It was ex
plained, was due to the railroad strike.
Special trains In areas friendly to the
Ebert Government and automobiles, the
message stated, were carrying delegates
to Stuttgart as fast as possible, with Indi
cations that the first session of the As
sembly would be held to-morrow morn
ing. Germans here substantiate every word
from Germany that the Gustave Bauer

Lo.vpo.v, March 1?. The London Timr

pression that the rituatlon In Germany Is

Signs of this arc not wanting, says
the Times, and the action of some of

considers the Spartacist outrages In
some of the provinces as serious.
The Tunes adds that there la ground
for believing that Kapp's resignation
may In part be ascribed to loss of

Kapp has retired, the news from Berlin
Indicates that the Prussian situation haa
got out of the hands of the Ebert Gov-e-nment
The general strike is not ex
pected to end Immediately.
Previous to the decision by Kapp to
retire negotiation!) In Berlin constituted
a most Interesting feature of the situa
tion in Germany this morning. After the
negotiations between Kapp and Von
Luettwltz on one side and Minister
Echifer of the Ebert Cabinet on the
other, Kapp acknowledged that his re
glm was ready to retire. It was then
that Dr. Daumlg and Dr. Cohn, the in
dependent Soeiallet and Communist
leadrrs respectively, appeared and pre
sented an ultimatum to Kapp that he
mu't withdraw before nightfall.
Thereupon Kapp, who had been ready
to retire unconditionally, changed his
mind ami demanded that amnesty be ac
corded him. The Independent Socialists
and Communists then announced they
had prepared a tentative Ministry and
were ready to try to seize the Govern
ment. This U the Cabinet an proposed
by them : Imperial Chancellor, Dr. Dau
mlg: Minister of ths Interior, Kurt
Beyer ; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hcrr
Neumann or Herr Levy: MlnlMer of
Economics, Herr Rasch ; Minister of
Ijibor, Otto Gras: Minister of Food,
Herr Gemann ; Ministi-r of .!u.tice, Dr.
Cohn; Minister of Finance, Herr Ad.;l ;
Minister of Pre?. Hi-rr Goldhchmldt;
Minister of Ilalla, Julius Mecer.
According to the Frankfurttr Zcitung,
Cohn ithd Daumlg called on the Chancel
lor on behalf of a Soviet republic which
had been proclaimed In working class
quarters In Berlin and presented an ul
timatum saying that If the troops were
not withdrawn by 9 o'clock Tuesday
evening they nould alack them with
armed workmen.
It is beg.nnlng to be clear that Ger
many Is facing a situation more serious
In character than that of a year ago and
that it will not bo simple matter for
Xoske's Guards to restore order. Indeed
, the military discivline among the troops

I districts. Well informed persons ho-e
say that there Is certain to be a period
of anarcliy in Germany
The rise ln the value of the German
