Berlin, June 25.-"That's not all;
there will be more surprises soon"
This was the plain comment made by
one Of the few Berlin political leaders
not IN attendance on the national as
sembly at Weimar the moment he
heard Of the attempted destruction Of
the German fleet In Scapa flow.
One gained the impression he places
credence In the rum0rs the old militia
rists OF Prussia are preparing to defy
both the German government and the
allies after peace 10 signed. linden
burg. commanding in the east, who has
sent a protest to Weimar against &C
cepting the present terms, might be
considered AZ a possible leader Of
Prussia II that state declares Its indie
pendence Of the rest of Germany.
Welmar.-Before the national u.s.
sembly voted to sign the peace terms
Internationally, fiery appeals in OPP
position were made by the Democrats
and Conservatives, but they apparent
IL had little effect. When the vote
was called all but few members
arose to signify their affirmation Of
the governments decision to sign.
Many wild rumors of what would
happen when 1t became known the
assembly had voted almost unanimous
~ to accept the terms gained currency.
One that appeared to get most support
was that all the officers of the Ger
man army would resign II the govern
ment did not refuse to surrender Ger
man leaders, especially Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and General Luden-
dorff, and defy the allies to seize the
former emperor.
In military and semi-military cir
cles a strong insIstence has developed
that the former emperor is innocent
and that under no circumstances must
he be placed on trial except in a neu-
trail court.
In some quarters the threat of the
officers to resign was taken most seri-
ously on the ground that such action
might pave the way for a Spartacan
and Communist uprising throughout
the country.
London.-News of the German gov
ernment's agreement to sign the peace
terms resulted in patriotic dem0nstra-
tons throughout Germany.
In Berlin, Munich and other large
cities, the dispatch says, professions
formed and marched along the prin-
cipal streets, the participants singing
war songs and cheering the generals
of the old empire
The Officers Association, 1t is add
ed, has asked the Dutch government
not to deliver the former German en-
peror to the allies. In 4 telegram, Of
f1cers of the association said: I'VE
can protect the kaiser with our bodies,
but we rely upon the generosity Of the
Dutch people!"

RAIDERS robbed shops and attacked cit

beaten and shots were fired from roofs
and windows and the soldiers returned
the fire.
After daylight this morning the city
was quieter, but at noon the police APP

London.-President Ebert Of Ger
many, Premier Bauer and all the min
listers have issued proclamation to
the German people, according to
wireless message from Berlin, an
nouncing the conclusion of peace and
urging as the first pressing need the
bending of all efforts to It's fulfill
ment. "As far as it Is possible to
carry 1t out" says the proclamation

Londen, June 27.-With the crown
prince returned to Germany, supposed
ly to attempt the leadership Of a mill
tarist coup d'etat; and with increasing
clashes between the populace and
troops in Berlin and Hamburg, 1t is
feared that the upheaval prophesied
when Germany should sign the peace
treaty has already begun.
No definite word Of the crown
princes whereabouts, or of his plans,
has been received beyond the bare
fact that he has crossed the frontier
of Holland and is again on German
soil. 1t is suggested that his flight
may have been merely to escape seix-
ure and trial by the allies.
In Berlin many streets are barricad-
ed and there have been bitter engage
ments between the government troops
and mobs for the past several days.
Aiilitarlst circles In the German capital
discuss openly the plans for a counter
revolution, aimed to suppress the com
munist uprising, which apparently has
already. been launched, and to place
the royalist-junker faction again in
power.

shall Won Hindsnburg, in reply to re-
quest from the minister of defense
concerning the allied rejection Of Ger
man reservations in the peace treaty,
said that in the event Of a resump-
ton Of hostilities the Germans would
be able to recOnQuer Posen and main
tain the frontiers to the east, but
hardly would be able to reckon on
success In the west. The field mar
shall Is said to have added:

This decision was especially crafty

The casualties in the rioting are
estimated to have been twenty killed

face. the situation is quieter. The
banks are open, the official offices
are doing business and the city trans
pOrtatiOn systems are operating.
The authorities, however, have not
re- established their control. The riots
are said to be the beginning of gen.
orally chaotic conditions planned by
the Spartacans, and expected by them
to extend throughout the country. The
authorities here said they expected
that the Spartacan element would at
tempt an uprising here shortly.
