SHAKE-UP FEARED
IN CABINET Of NEW
GERMAN GOVERNMENT
WORKERS COUNCIL HAS IN
TERFERED WITH EXECU-
TIVE POWER ON SEW
ERAAL OCCASIONS.
PEOPLE ARE APATH THETIC.
Seems Certain That Premier Ebert's
Government Is of Very Uncertain
Duration and That 1t Is Also of
Very Uncertain Principles.

London, Nov. 25.-A Berlin dis
patch to the Frankfort General An
zeiger says that the government
crisis is due to the fact that the en-
ecutiye committee OF the soldiers
and workers council has intericrcd
with the governments executive
power on several occasions. Ncgo-
tatonS are in progress, it adds, but
the prospect of an agreement is so
slight that the position OF the cab
met is shaken.
Referring to reports OF scparatist
movements in Germany, a dispatch
TO the Daily Mail from The Hague
says il is impossible as vet to esti-
mate the extent either OF the
strength OF the movements or their
real motives, but it seems certain
that Premier Ebert's government is
of very uncertain duration and also
OF very uncertain principles"
The greatest part OF the popula-
ton, the correspondent adds. is
apathetic toward the revolution. He
believes that with better food con-
ditions and the revival of hopes. the
love of national character of the
German will reappear.

United States Forces Are
Moving Toward Coblenz

Washington. Nov. Z5.-l he
American army OF occupation may
be the first OF the major military
forces moving toward the Rhine to
set foot on German soil, General
Pershing reported today to the war
department that his advance had
reached the line lnvelderf-Detzdort-
Remich-Schengen, duchy OF Lux
euburg. or lust across the Mosellc
from Rhenish Prussia. Tonight or
tomorrow. they will be moving to-
ward Coblenz. the Rhine bridge
head assigned to the United States
to hold over German territory.
French forces reached the Rhine
near the Swiss border some days
ago. 1t may be that patrol detach-
ments OF this army already have
penetrated through the forty kilo-
meter zone which will be held as
neutral ground. until the peace
treaties fix new boundaries, but it
is regarded as probable in the
American Third army will lead the
real advance into Germany.
In fixing Coblenz today as the
objective OF the American advance,
General March furnished cIew to
the military situation that is to
exist while the peace conference
proceeds at Paris. On the lett, the
British army OF occupation will
stand along the Rhine with a spear
head thrown across the river at
Cologne and spreading like ian
on 4 thirty kilometer circle. At Co.
blcnz. the Americans will occupy
a similar position and at Mainz'
still further up the river, the French
will hold the third great highway
into the heart OF Germany.
Thus three main roads to Berlin
itself. each held by strong, fully
army, ready to sweep Tor
ward at a moments notice, will be
held open and constitute a threat
against which there can be no or
ganized resistance. All OF Germany
will stand at the mercy OF the oc-
cupying forces.

Speculation AS To
Successor To McAdoo


Washington, Nov. 25,-William
G.. McAdoo's resignation, aS'hcad oi
the treasury aud railroad admin
istration, precipitated discussion
today OF the future status OF rail
roads, an issue which had been
somewhat dormant up to the pres
ent. Indications were that a result
OF his retirement would be to throw
into congress and into public dis
cuSSion, much sooner than other
wise, the issue OF whether govern
ment operation is to continue in
definitely, whether this will be eN-
tended to government ownership or
whether the roads will be restored
to private management with some
sort OF federal supervision to per
nit their continued pooling and un-
ificd operation.
Speculation as to Mr.. McAdoo'S
successors. however, took equal rank
with the discussion OF the future pol
icy toward the railroads.
For the position as secretary OF
the treasury, Representative Carter
Glass OF Virginia, chairman OF the
house banking and currency COM
mittee is known to be under serious
consideration. Friends OF Mr.
Glass say he has a reputation for
being close student and conStruc-
tive thinker on financial subjects
and for executive ability in a num-
Der OF private enterprises.
Goethals Railroad Director.
For director general OF railroads
there appears to be much doubt OF
the presidents selection. Such
man as Mai. Gen. George w. Goe-
ihalS is wanted. it was stated today
q man with executive ability not
closely connected heretofore with
'jIroad management, who could
w problems from the public stand
oint and at the same time could di-
'tct the staff and organization al
2dy built up by Mr.. McAdoo.
On the new director general OF
i'roads, whoever he may be, will
'orolye the task OF guiding the
Dad, through the readjustment
period. Upon the policies of the
new railroad director will depend
l5rgely whether the government
shall continue holding the railroads
into a homogeneous unit or begin

aration for resumption of private
control. From the presidents Sc

determined. to large degree, the

iroad's future, This is one reason
~ The picking OF a new director

usual significance.

has no thought OF refraining from
expressing his ideas on govern
mental policies from time to time.
