 ominous Signs of Coming Struggle
 A bIoodless revolution thus far has changed the movement upon befIh, where the people are viewing events with that serenity to which they have been accustomed by the occurrences or
 recent years. There is. however, an under current of anxiety because barbed wire entanglements have been thrown up in front of the great public buildings near Inter Den Linden and Wilhelmstras and machine guns are
 posted at the cross streets anc other
 points of vantage, and heavily armed
 guards are stationed throughout the
 city, This is an onlinouS sign or pos
 sible clashes when those opposed to the raynlIIfiOn marshal tnelr fOrccS for action.
 There has been constant official re- iteration of the statement that the new government is not reactionary; that IL does not desire restoration or the mon archy. but that it has come into o1Ilce so that Germany may be rehablllatec. Chancellor Kapp, in statement to the foreign correspondents. said the con Gitions of the peace treaty would De fulfilled. so far as they could be re- conciIed with German honor ana ter manv's economic condition.
 Many States Oppose Move While adherence to the new governs ment has been promised by some out side states. Saxony has declared against it. and Bavaria, WurttemDurS anG Baden have joined in denounclhs the movement.
 The national party refuses to have relations with the ISapp government, and the conservative leader, Count
 PoSadowsky asserts he will not lden-
 tify himself with the new chancellor.
 Hamburg and Darmstadt are said to be irreconcilable.
 Meanwhile one of the greatest figures
 in the German national life, Field Mar : shal Hindenburg, has kept himselr in the bacllground. His former close
 associate General Ludenoorff, credited
 with being the brains and moving spirit
 of the German army in it's belligerent days. has had a conference with the new chancellor. What passed between them is not known. It is possible. how ever. that von Hindenburg, who IS a candidate for the presidency, may loom large before events take definite shape. Strike Causes Suffering With the advent of the general Strlke proclaimed throughout Germany by the i.independent socialists affiliated with the trade unions and other organiza- tions. Berlin is beginning to feel the pinch ns suffering again. The water supply largely has been cut off ana food is scarce. Hotels are shutting down, and If the strike continues means nf transportation both passenger and frenght will be at an end.
 Gustav -Noske, minister of defense I in the Ebert government, is reported to always has been a fighter and there is reason to believe that he will not ac- | cept the present situation without dras- | tic action in opposition. Troops still loyal to Noske have repulsed an attack against their barracks at Frankfort. Reports have been received from that city of numerous skirmishes between the two factions.
