Coblenz, June 21.-Germany has de-
cided to sign peace treaty after all
night session of the cabinet at Wei
mar Large percentage of people ia
vor action is the official announce
ment here.
Berlin, June 21-Opposition to Gus
tav Noske, minister of national defense,
as a successor of Chancellor Schede-
mann is increasing, while DIR. Mueller,
under secretary of war food bureau,
is declining the premiership, pleading
illness. Noske Is the least liked Of
the two and would antagonize hun
dreds of thousands of persons, who re-
gard him as bloodhound and op-
pressor" AS result, a temporary
directorate of five members may rule
Germany in case President Ebert
fails to form cabinet.
Berlin.-The cabinet has resigned.
President Ebert will retain his office
temporarily. 1t was stated on good
authority that President Ebert had de-
cided to stand or fall with Chancellor
Schiedemann, because he felt that he
must resign rather than sign the peace
treaty.
Paris.-The Temps understands that
Matthias Erzberger, if he takes power
in Germany. will ask two modifica-
tions of the peace treaty. The first
will be the toning down of the clause
|
so as to spare German susceptibilities,
and the second, abandonment of pros
ecution of the former emperor.
1t is known that there has been a
considerable shift in the attitude of
various politicians, parties and news
papers lately, and experts here on the
German situation think that Noske, as
the 'strong man. of the administra-
ton, may, perhaps, bring a favorable
change in the German government.
An unconfirmed report received
here from the army intelligence bu-
reau at Coblenz says Count Won Bern
storff, former German ambassador to
the United States, has been named as
minister of foreign affairs and that he
will go to Versailles to sign the peace
treaty.
Paris.-The latest reports received
over the military wire from Weimar
indicate that Germany is still in the
throes of a reconstruction of the ad-
ministration in an endeavor to get
government that is capable of signing
the peace treaty.
Weimar-Weimar is completely cut
off from railway communication with
all sections of GE-many because of a
suddenly called railway strike, Air
planes and the telegraph are the only
means of communication. Government
circles see in the strike a new Sparta
can attempt against the government.
Meanwhile the government and the
various political leaders are held until
further notice.
