EBERT GOVERNMENT CRUSHED
BY WILHELM'S WAR FRIENDS
AND REACTiONARIES.
Revolving Troops Advance Into City

Members Of the Ebert Govern
ment Leaving City.

BerIin.-The government of Fried
rich Ebert the Socialist president Of
the German republic, was overthrown
on March 13 by military coup d 'etat.
DR.. Wolfgang Kapp, one of the
founders of the Fntherland party, and
general director Of the agricultural
societies. has ousted Gastav Bauer,
the chancellor and. in taking that Of
flee himself, has temporarily assumed
supreme direction of affairs.
There are now two contendng gov
ernments in Germany, the new one,
under Chancellor Kapp, at Berlin the
old one, under President Ebert at Ores
den.
OFFICIALS OF the new government de-
clare that 1t is not reactionary or mon
archist. The president of the old gov
eminent and his ministers have is
sued proclamation calling upon the
people to rise in general strike as
the only means of preventing the re-
turn of Wilhelm II.
Berlin is occupied by troops of the
counter-revolution and the movement
Is spreading rapidly throughout the
province. Masses of troops and naval
brigades with artillery have been
brought into the capital and dominate
the situation. Thus far there has been
no outbreak and no bloodshed.
The Ebert government had knowl-
edge beforehand of the pending coun-
ter-revolution, but the precautions
taken proved to be entirely inadequate
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is re-
ported to be favored by the new re-
gime for imperial president but thus

The former minister of foreign affairs.
Goirfia} No. ,Iagaw. u;.d General Baron
Won Fnlkenhausen, former governor
general Of Belgium. are among the lead
ers of the counrerrevolution.
1t has been openly charged that the
former emperor of Germany is behind
the revolutionary movement. but ac-
cording to news that comes from The
Hague, it is not believed there that
either the former emperor or the crown
prince are implicated in the overthrow
OF the German government.
Amerongen castle, where the former
emperor lives, and the Island of Wier-
ingen. where the former crown prince
makes his residence, are already so
closely guarded that 1t will be abso-
lutely unnecessary for the Dutch gov
