KAPP REGIME Is
STRONGLY OPPOSED
EBERT's SOCIALIST PARTY RE.
cEIVEs ASSURANCES OF AID
FROM MANY QUARTERS.

Berlin. = Events Indicate that the
newly-established reign of Wolfgang
Kapp, provisional director who came
into power in Germany with the sud
den and apparently successful blood
less coup d'etat staged at Berlin, will
soon be called upon to match strength
with the deposed Socialist govern
ment headed by Friedrich Ebert, with
Gustav Noske and Albert Baser, the
stFong men of his ministry. The lat
ter faction, which fed to Dresden at
the approach of the eounter-reyolu-
tionary troops and there announced
that they would refuse to relknauish
their titles and claims to power, have
set up their headquarters at Stuttgart,
and already are preparing their plans
for combating the reactionary forces.
The Socialists have called a gen
eral strike, in an effort to paralyze
industry and to crystalize the force
of the liberal elements of Germany
behind them. and have succeeded in
organizing strong faction opposed
to the new regime.
At Frankfort a strong force OF
workmen obeyed the strike call, and
attacked the barracks. In the result
ant clash with the military several
were killed or injured.
General strikes have also been call
ed at Breslau, Madgeburg, Nurem
burg and other industrial cities.
The Ebert action also has received
encouragement from the seats of sew
eral states in the former German fed
GRAFTON. Bavaria, Saxony and Wuer
temburg have refused to recognize
the new government, and the troops
of those states have declared alleg
lance to their respective govern
ments. Noske, who was minister OF
defense under Ebert, is in Saxony
and is believed to be organizing arm
ed resistance to the new regime in
that kingdom. At Madgeburg, Sax

was made at the time of the Berlin
coup, when an attack lasting severa.

SAYS
FRANCE WILL PAY
ASKS AMERICA ONLY FOR TIME
AND NOT FOR cANcELLA-
TON OF DEBT.

Paris.-Preeaier Millerand put aside
the German crisis long enough to dis
euss the relations between France and
the United States and the conditions
of international credit. He said to
the representative of the Associated
Press:
france and the United States
must continue the close friendship
which always has been maintained
between the two countries. No fleet
ing misunderstanding must be allow
ed to trouble their relations. 70 that
end the sooner misconceptions are dis
sipated the better.
Without going into the purely pc
litical questions it appears to me an
opportune time to recall now to our
friend the United States that France
is not asking for charity. The greater
part of money France borrowed
abroad was spent nthe common in
terest of all the civilized Countries
a fact which might form the basis of
claim for special consideration, but
such is not our intention.
I'VE don't request a cancellation of
our debts. We only ask time to
breathe and to recover our strength
after four and a half years of ex-
hausting war Our propositions are
those which any debtor would feel
right in making in the interest of
both himself and his creditor.
The premier referred to the ruin-
Gus fluctuations in the rate of ex-
change. which he held would be ag-
gravated rather than palliated through
measures proposed to France by
those not taking sufficient account or
interior conditions.
IF France is obliged to meet her
obligations abroad at present rate of
exchange she would be forced to pay
two and a half times what she owes,
he continued. Thus, after spending
for the common good 10000, 100000
francs borrowed from her friends, she
would have to pay $4,000, 100000
francs as Frances premium to these
same friends. Of course, that is not
what they mean to require of US
1--WE have given our blood, we
have given our money. To ask US
now to give more than double our debt
is an anomaly that cannot fail to
strike the most impartial judges.

ALL HOT SPRINGS
POLICEMEN FIRED
CITY COMMISSIONERS PROMISE
THAT CLEANUP WILL BE
QUICK AND THOROUGH.
COMMISSIONERS IN RAIDS
designations Are To Take Effect as
Soon as the Police Department Is
Heorganized-Unt That Time
Men viii Serve.

Hot Springs. The most drastic
change ever made in the Police De
partment Of Hot Springs took place
when, on orders from the city com
missioners, the resignation of every
officer on the police force was re
uuested by City Manager George r
Bedding. The request was immediate
1y complied with.
The officers affected are: II. R.
Wheeler, chief of police; Oscar Sulli-
van. city detective. and Patrolmen
Charles Trammel. Henry Houpt, A. j.
billiard, John Young and Tom ELI
son
The designations are to take effect
as soon as the Police Department is
reorganized. and until that time the
men will continue to serve.
The sweeping change ordered is
the result of two raids made by Com
missioners Martin A. Eisele, E. n.
Roth and Walter ". Gentry, and City
Manager Bedding on the Ohio Club and
in the establishment in the rear of the
Blumensteil cigar store.
In both places, the commissioners
testified In Municipal Court they
found evidence of book-making, and in
the rear of the Blumensteil cigar store
they say a sheet containing the names
of horses and the prices they paid had
been posted. It was seized by Mr..
Bedding. The presence of the city of
ficials, they said, created consterna-
ton among those who had gathered
there. One of the commissioners was
knocked down in the rush to get out
of the place.
Following the killing of Charles
Ray, manager of the card room in
the Howard house, city commissioners
had evidence that a gambling Joint
was being run in that hotel they say
and the question of book-making has
long been a mueh-diseussed subject
among the citizens. Several weeks
ago the Rotary and Lions clubs adopt
ed resolutions condemning that feat
ure. and the city commission went on
record at that time in favor of sup
pressing this form of gambling.
Some of the establishments, it is
said, were so open in their operations
that they posted entries and results
at their places, and one place even en-
ployed a "speiler" TO urge betting be-
fore each race.
