ALLIES WON'T GO
INTO GERMANY
Only Actual Revolutionary
War to Cause Change of
Decision. ....
MIGHT UPSET TREATY

Paris, March 1S.-U N. S.)-The
allies have reached the definite de-
cision not to advance a single foot
beyond their present military lines
in Germany unless some new turn in
German affairs actually threatens a
revolutionary war. it was learned in
official circles today. 1t was pointed
out that as the British and French
have already ratified the treaty of
Versailles, an advance by the Anglo
French armies would create an ac-
tual state of war and upset the
peace treaty.
AS the United States has not rati-
fed the treaty, it is held that only
the United States troops which are
still on the Rhine under the armi-
stice terms could advance into Ger
many.
One view advanced today was that
If German conditions compel allied
military measures, the first aerial
invasion probably would be made
from Poland. The crack "Kosciusko
squadron of the Polish army, which
is made up almost wholly of Ameri-
cans, is only 100 miles east of Ber-
lin. French strategists also point
out that practically all of the impor-
tant German coal fields "are under
the allied guns"
Foch Makes Report.
A complete report on the military
situation along the Rhine was given
the council of ambassadors today by
Marshal Foch, who has just returned
from an inspection trip. The council
took no action.

Spartacists NowB Battle With
Republic; Soviets Spring Up
SUMMARY OF LATEST
EVENTS In GERMANY

The collapse of the reactionary
dictatorship in Berlin has been
quickly followed by the resumption
of authority on the part of the old
government. Its chief task for the
moment, it appears, will be to deal
with the disordsred conditions, which
the Spartacans are endeavoring to
prolong for their own purposes.
Germany has cast Off the govern
ment regime suddenly set up by the
reactionary elements last Saturday
morning, but advices indicate she is
now facing another extreme peril in
the form of a wave Of radicalism.
Reports from Berlin say DR.. Wolf
gang Kapp, the reactionary chan
cellor, and his adherents have either
fled from the city or contemplate
going at once. Armed forces of the
reactionary element are leaving Ber-
lin today and the presence of Gustav
Noske, minister of defense in the
Ebert cabinet, who arrived in Berlin
last night by airplane from Stutt-
gart, would seem to indicate that the
constitutional government intends to
assume control Immediately. Gen.
Won Seecht, President Ebert's chief
of staff, has been named commander
of the government forces in Berlin.
Announcements by DIR. Kapp, as
we'll as official statements from the
officials of the Ebert government, re-
fleet the fear of radical uprising
in Germany. In fact, DR.. Kapp's an
nouncement stated he had resigned
from the direction of affairs so that
the country might be enabled to fight
boshevism. From various cities
come reports of uprisings of work.
ers, and advices from Berlin state
that red forces under command of
Spartacan leaders are marching on
that city. AS the Ebert troops have
not as yet resumed full control, an
attack by the reds is feared.
Throughout Germany radical ele-
ments have in many places taken
over direction of affairs, at least
temporarily.
Proletarian relationships have been
set up at Dortmund, Gera, Halle,
Ohliga, Unna and Gelsenkirchen, ac-
cording to reports, while in, Leipzig
workers have driven government
troops from the suburbs of the city
and were engaged late yesterday in
street fighting.
In the Rhenish and Westphalian
industrial districts, 1t is said, the
workers are ready to follow radical
leaders.

kAPP GRANTED AMNESTY
Noske Blames Generals-Gen-
eral Strike Succeeds in
Turning Tide.

President Ebert arrived in Berlin
last night, according to telephone
message received by tho Amsterdam
correspondent of the Exchange Tele-
graph from Berlin.
President Ebert has ordered the
imperial court at Lepisie to bring &C
ton against the leaders of the revo.
luton, DR.. kapp, Won Luettwitz,
Gottlieb Won Jagow, Admiral Trotha,
and Capt. Erhardt, the correspondent
says.
Amnesty For kapp.
One Of Dr. Kapps last official acts
was to conclude an agreement with
representatives of the Ebert govern
ment and some Prussian ministers
for amnesty for himself, his staff and
troops on the basis of the amnesty
law Of 1918, which will be made to
apply to this weeks offenses.
1t is expected the casualties fer
which the Kapp regime has been re-
sponsible will total many hundreds
killed, the outbreak at Dortmund be-
ing the most serious reported from
any section. 1t is said that more than
100 are dead there. Disorders at
serious.
Labor Feared Monarchy.
Leaders of the workmen explained
that their antagonism TO the Won
Kapp group was not only based on
fears of a revival of monarchy, but
because they resent n return of the
grinding prewar condition" when
they worked twelve hours n day. 1t
hn
rounding Won Kapp were the same
who were responsible for the prewar
drudgery of the laboring classes.
Strike Effective.
Stuttgart reports that the strike
called in this region in sympathy
with the Ebert administration has
ended and traffic and communica-
tions have been restored. Several
thousand Ebert troops are guarding
the public buildings, but It Is as
serted that this is not because trou-
BILE is feared.
Gustav Noske, minister of defense
in the Ebert government, before de-
parting for Berlin today, said the
Ebert administration would be back
in Berlin within a week. lie ex-
planned his failure to use force be-
fore departing from Berlin for Dres-
den by declaring his generals had
abandoned him. Il always knew these
generals were not altogether friendly
to the government" he said, "but l
never thought they would be such
fools"
Luettwitz Leaves
Amsterdam cables that Gen. Won
Luettwitz, who commanded the
troops which supported the Kapp
regime, has left Berlin with his
armed forces, according to a tele-
phone message received from Berlin
this morning.
Seek Coalition.
The foreign office reports declared
that the Won Luettwitz party, under
cover OF tht Spartacan movement,
was endeavoring to form a coalition
ministry. including independent So
cialists. According to this plan,
Lieut. Gen. Berthold Won Deimling.
who was one of the active comman-
ders on the Verdun front, was slated
to be chancellor.
Reports that a soviet government
had been proclaimed in Berlin were
denied by the delegation. Calm pre-.
vailed there, its members declared.
