Later the Minister read a long dec

he outlined the history Of the war and
pointed out that Turkey was led into the
war through no necessity but to con-
tent the ambitions OF some high officials.
The Unionist organ. il was reported
appeared to be well pleased with the
dissolution OF the Chamber OF Deputies.
The Monitor Oriental said Deputies APP
pointed by Enver Pasha should not re-
main In Office when their master
traitor to his country, had taken flight
and was the object OF pursuit. The
paper called to mind that some Deputies
had publicly confessed to eNactions.

nople. the advices said. that the Ottoman
Government had decided to create a
general court-martial for the trial OF all
functlonaries responsible for the recent

at the royal stables, but in the Koe &.
nigsstrasse. This street, with all its
houses, is reported in the hands OF the
sailors, who are supported by the
Spartacans. They demand that Pre-
mier Ebert and Secretary Haase re-
sign and be replaced by Georg Lede-
bour and DIR. Karl Liebknecht.
DR.. Liebknecht, the advices add,
went to the Chancellor's palace and
had n long conference with the Min
listers. the result OF which was I'M
known.
Further fighting was anticipated, it
was added, as the Spartacans and the
sailors are said to have decided to at
tempt to force the guards to return to
Potsdam. The latter were stationed
IN Inter den Linden and on the Wer-
derschen Platz.
According To an Exchange Tele-
graph despatch from Copenhagen a
force of 500 sailors on Monday formed
a guard and seized the ked Castle. one
Of the former royal palaces. They

The windows were destroyed and the
interior of the former royal apart

street. The west front of the palace
also was damaged heavily, while the
north walls of the royal stables were
rid6led with shot and shells.
Wells was released just before noon
Tuesday. He spent the night in the
basement of the former royal stables
Some of the more hot headed sailors
were in favor of the immediate execu-
ton of Wells. but cooler heads opposed
this plan. The military commander,
however, was not spared humiliation
and some of the sailors proposed that
he be locked up in n small chamber
with the bodies of sailors and other
victims OF Mondays fighting. That
he escaped violence and possible death
was due to the intercession of Socialist
leaders with the sailors.

Fifty sailors, it is reported, are still
concealed in the Red Palace, from
which most Of them were driven Mon
day by the Republican Guards. Twelve

Off and discharged.
The controversy reached climax
late Monday afternoon when a delega-
ton of sailors marched TO the head
quarters of Wells in Inter den Linden
to protest against his alleged hostile
attitude. Wells summoned the Repub-
lican Guard, which opened fire on the
sailors with machine guns as soon as
It arrived.
The sailors then attacked the head
quarters and captured Wells and his
eids. About the same time a crowd of
sailors marched 10 the Chancellor's
palace for the purpose of interpellat-
ing the Ebert-Haase Cabinet. The
members of the Cabin ct were de-
tanned for two hours. Premier Ebert,
fearing that am attempt was being
made to overthrow the Cabinet, sum-
moned the Potsdam Guards.
Ebert Averts an Armed Clash.
Three companies of infantry and a
battery of field artillery presently APP
peared behind the palace. behind the
iron gates of which were eighty sail
ors with machine guns. The troops
demanded that the sailors disarm and

1t appeared for a while that a Sc
rious clash was impending, but Pre-
mier Ebert finally mounted "A motor
truck and announced that the Gov
eminent wanted both armed forces to
withdraw.
The Cabinet, he said, was satisfied
to dispense with further protection. A
long controversy as to which side
should move first was settled by the
simultaneous departure of both the
guards and sailors, but in opposite
directions.
Wells had been particularly obnoX-
ious to the Radicals and there had

all know that one or all of them are
Inevitable. The official opinion ii the

things is timed only by the unknown
degrees to which the German military
power has been broken. There may
be more information on that point in
the chancellerles of England, France
and Italy than there is in Washington.
When President Wilson's reply to

the German people themselves would
