AMERICANS WARNED

All civilian Americans In Ger

quences of entering that country,
and told their venture would be at
their own risk, when they applied
for passports, 1t was authoritatively
announced here last night.
Because the United States is tech
nically at war with Germany, the
State Department at no time has
been able to issue a passport to
Germany. In a number Of instances,
however. 1t issued persons passports
to Holland. Belgium, Switzerland
and other German borderland coun-
tries, and at the same time knew
that the applicants object was Ger
many.
In all of these cases, however,
the applicants were warned as q
matter of precaution of the lack of
an American diplomatic and consu- =
lar service in Germany. and the in
ability of the United States to fur
nish American citizens with ade-
quate or immediate assistance II

Now that danger has come to
pass, the American government is
almost power1ess. unless It chooses

The only hope seen here for
Americans in danger in Berlin and
elsewhere In Germany rests In
probable action by Maj. Gen. Henry
T. Allen, commanding the American
forces on the Rhine. in sending an
armed train to the German capital
to remove them to the American
zone of occupation. and from there
into France.

BY Herald Leased wire.) }

New York. March 19.-"Beware
the Dam" was the text chosen by
william ]. Bryan for an address
before 600 New York friends at the
Aldine Club tonight. 1t was Mr..
Bryan's sixtieth birthday anniver-
sary, and a dinner was rendered
him. A great cake. with sixty can
dies, decorated the speakers table
on the dais. He reviewed his ex-
perience and achievements of thirty
years In politics.
Civilization is a running stream,
and can no more be damned than
the current of a mighty river" he
said. IF the peoples will is OBJ
structed. the force that accumulares
behind the barrier is a guaranty
that is will be removed.
Three Prime Considerations.
I'VE can better understand the
political situation II we bear In
mind:
"First-That greed and selfishness
are always attempting to obstruct
human progress.
'Second-That the sooner an OBJ
struction to the popular will is re-
moved. the better for all concerned.
Third - That right always tri-
umphs in the end"
Referring to the world war and
the league of nations, Mr.. Bryan
said:
I'VE have learned that it Is a
mistake to require a two-thirds
vote to ratify a treaty. A majority
of Congress can declare war. 1t
ought to be as easy to end war
as to begin II. Our nations influence
in the league of nations should go
far toward making war impossible
by cultivating a spirit of brother
hood. Our nations representatives
in the league should be elected in
districts by popular vote"
Recalls Long Struggles.
Advocating the removal of OBJ
structions which special interests
sought to interpose on the political
progress of America" Mr.. Bryan
cited the enactment, after twenty
years of struggle, of the provision
for direct nomination of United
States Senator's by the people; of tho
income tax after seventeen years
agitation and of the prohibition
amendment after fifty years.
AS to the movement to nominate
him again for the Presidency, Mr.
Bryan said:
MY ambition Is. not to enjoy the
honors of office. but to discharge
the debt of gratitude owe to the
American people"

REGIME OF EBERT
IN ACUTE DILEMMA
Cwashinston Hernld-Pnblic Ledger
service, Special Cable DispatchD

Service, Special Cable Dispatch)
Geneva, March 19.-The Ebert
governments bulletins of victory
vainly seek to disguise the funda-
mental fact that it has been forced
to accept all the principal condi-
tions on which DR.. Kapp from the
first declared his willingness to re-
sign.
The pact concluded between the
parties at the national assembly
at StuttSa-. guaranteeing trans
formation OF the cabinet. new cleo
tions and election of a president by
the people, fully confirms the fore
cast made in previous dispatches.
Not the national parties, but the
majority socialists in reality have
capitulated.
The Ebert government more than
ever is at the mercy of the Reichs-
wehr miiitarists, On whose machine
guns it depends for defense against
the Spartacans. and the immediate
changes in the administration will
constitute a decisive step toward
reaction.
Kapp's coup d'etat has dealt the
Majority Socialist party mortal
tional and socialist extremes, be-
tween whom battle will now be en-
gagged. The workers, who have
been driven by Ebert's flight into
the ranks of the Spartacans, are as
hostile today toward the Socialists
ministers as they were toward
Kapp.
The trade unions committee at
Berlin has issued a statement de-
mandlng the instant resignation of
Gustave NoEke, minister of de-
fense, transformation of the cabi-
net with the collaboration of the
Independent Socialists and severe
punishment of the monarchist con-
spirators.
AS their demands are unaccept-
able to the Reichswehr, the issue
can only be decided by force of
arms.

TORN BY DISORDER
Little Montenegro a Land OF
Eternal Strife.
csnturiss-oId Customs Of Feuds ana
vendettas Maintained - Republi.
cans and Monarehists Keep
the Country In Turmoil.

While the allied statesmen at Paris
deliberate on the fate Of the ma
tions of Europe, Montenegro contin-
ues its century-long customs Of feuds,
vendettas, shooting trays and inter
nal strife, and seems outwardly to
give little attention to the fate re-
served for 1t by the great powers.
There Is q semblance Of local gov
ernment, but Serbia exercises pre-
ponderating influence in the affairs Of
the country.
There Is a faction Of the people
which desires q return OF King
Nicholas and the restoration OF the
monarchy. There is constant strife
between the royalists and the repub-
licans, the disorders usually taking
the form of fatal shooting combats
In the mountains. Feeling runs high.
The republicans accuse the mon
archists of hiring members of the
comitadje, desperate mountaineers
who respect neither law nor life, to
kill the leaders of their party.
These shooting and stabbing AFFAIRS
usually take place in sections where
the royalists are the strongest. The
casualties sometimes are serious. Not
day goes by but the American doc
tors attached to the Red Cross mis-
sion at Cettinje, Podgoritza and Kol-
acin are not called up to treat victims
of these encounters. At Podgoritza
there have been as high as twenty
wounded natives at the Red Cross
hospital at one time.
There also are occasional border
fights between the Montenegrins and
the Italians and Albanians. The feel
ing between these races Is extremely
violent. When the Associated Press
correspondent was passing through
the small frontier town Of Plavnitza.
at the head Of Lake Soutari, there was
a massed company Of 250 Montene-
grins preparing to attack an Italian
garrison on the opposite side OF the
lake. Many Of these Montenegrins,
who were poorly clothed and
equipped. were mere boys Of sixteen
and seventeen. Some Of the older
soldiers had been to the United States
and boasted American citizenship. All
professed q desire to give up fighting
and return to America. The attack
on the Italians took place the next day
and many casualties on both sides are
reported.
Slightly smaller than the state OF
Connecticut IN area. Montenegro has
q population Of less than quarter OF
4 million. Even this small number
ind It difficult to get enough out OF
the soil to support life. The country
Is rocky, desolate and barren. It
might be called . huge pile Of stones.
An American visitor remarked that Its
national emblem should be tomb
stone ks mountains for the most
part are woodless and bare, and its
valleys are made productive only BY
careful husbandry Of the soil and In
tensive farming.

Ericsson Sought Power From su

Ericsson Sought Power From Sun.
To Americans perhaps the most in
teresting Of all experimenters in this
Geld Of vast promise was John
Ericsson. the engineer who invented
the Monitor In the Civil war.
Ericsson, a man Of great scientific i'm
animation. was early caught by the
lure Of the sun-power scheme and he
devoted several years Of effect to 1t.
It Is said that he spent upwards Of
100000 in an effort to perfect some
mechanism for harnessing the suns
energy. Ericsson estimated that the
trapping Of the suns energy in the
Mojave desert alone would furnish
enough power to run all the factories
and shops Of the United States. BE
wrote:
"A couple Of thousand years. per-
haps much less. dropped in the ocean
of time will completely exhaust the
worlds coal fields and leave man des-
titute of his chief source Of fuel and
power unless in the meantime he finds
q way Of employing the heat OF the
sum-"
Ericsson invented seven different
forms Of sun motors, all successful In
small way. but the fires OF his
genius were dying down. and he was
unable to bring his plans to the state
Of perfection required.
