Berlin.-The counter revolution in
Germany appears to have reached the
end of the road. There is a strong
probability that shortly one govern
ment will be In control and that Presf-
dent Ebert will come back to Berlin
with his ministers.
A basis of agreement between the
government set up by DR.. Wolfgang
Kapp as chancellor and the govern
ment of President Ebert is enunciated
In a declaration issued by the present
Berlin government. Announcement is;
made that negotiations with a settle
ment in view have been opened be-
tween the two governments at the in
stance of President Ebert and his as
sistants. There is, however, no direct
confirmation Of this from Ebert, who
is understood to be at Stuttgart.
Briefly Chancellor Knapp Is agree
able to the continuance Of the present
imperial president who is Friedrich
Ebert; he renounces the formation Of
a new minister and places the direc-
ton Of affairs in the hands of the IN
dersecretaries Of state.
The agreement as set forth by Chan
cellor Kapp provides for cabinet,
which shall include professional min
isters," or experts; elections within
two months for members Of the reich
stag and the Prussian national assem-.
bly,, and subsequently an election for
Imperial president" by the people
until which time Ebert shall hold the
reins of power.
Strikes Cause Of Compromise.
One significant clause in the pro-
nouncements says:
'''The new and old governments shall
issue a joint declaration: that under
present conditions a general strike is
a crime against the .Germautpeople."
Herein lies the explanation Of the
proposed settlement.
A number Of persons were killed and
several wounded in clashes between
soldiers and crowds at various places
in the outer suburbs of9Berlin. The
soldiers used rifles and machine guns.
Major General Won Luettwitz's troops
have erected barbed wire entangle-
ments at all the street corners, to pro-
tect the government buildings and
barracks from possible surprise at
lacks. No newspapers appeared, ex-
cept some special sheets of :the7Lokal
Anzeiger, which, in accordance with
government decree, contains only
news pleasing to the government.
The public is extremely skeptical of
the reports published in this form.
One man remarked, they are throw
ing bait at u.s." as he read the promise
of the government to obtain a food
supply.
Another remarked: I'VE are not so
stupid as to believe that quarters of
Germany support the new govern
ment"

We do not seem to remember that the

well as the pupil, and that both will
work truer to form if we extend our
cooperation by taking an active inter-
est in school affairs.
