that a proclamation has been issued
there stating that the government
has ceased to exist.
An earlier report, received here by
way of Holland, said that the revo-
lutionary situation in Germany was
getting worse and that troops were
marching towards Berlin, presuma-
bly, with the aim of attempting TO
overthrow the government.
Dispatches filed in Berlin early FRI
day stated that the German govern
rcent had discovered a revolutionary
plot among the militaristc and that
Minister of Defense Noske had made
n r::mber of arrests among the ring
leaders.
Ex-kaiser Involved.
The intimat,on that the ex-kaiser
has been involved in secret negotia-
tions with the reactionary militarist
elements in Hungary an Turkey
was contained in an interview with
"a well-informed statesman" printed
by the Daily Telegraph today
This statesman. who was described
as being noted for his first-hand
knowledge of continental European
affairs. was quoted as saying:
There is a connecting link be-
tween Erzerum and Berlin. ! might
go further and say between Erzerum
and Amerongen.
kuhlman Visiting Ex-kaiser.
Baron Won Kuhlman, former Ger
man foreign secretary, has lately
been visiting the ex-kaiser at least
twice a week during the nighttime,
despite the conscientious vigil OF the
Dutch guards. The real underlying
motive of Aemiral Horthy's and ke-
NAL Mustapha Pasha's moves has
been to defect from western Europe
as many allied troops as possible and
render the disarmament section OF
the treaty difficult. The way thus
would be made easier for the even
tual restoration of the Hohenzollern
dynasty in Germany"

lin and, with the aid of the Doeoeritz
garrison, overthrow the government.
Among those said to he involved are
Capt. Pabst and Or. Won Knapp, PAN
German propHgandists. Both were
formerly identified with the brigade
commanded by Gen. Won Luettwit'
and were prominent in the fighting
here during the early revolutionary
period. Troops recently returned
from the Baltic states are also said
to have been implicated in the al
legged conspiracy.
Direct inquiry in official quarters
has failed to elicit any information
ment was warranted, in the light of
the attitude of the pan-German press,
to suspect a monarchist plot. An
impression prevails tonight, there
fore, that the government exagger-
ated the critical nature of the situa-
tion and took seriously indefinite ru-
mors which have been current here
for the past week.
II is the general belief that the eft
feet of the Erzberger- Helfferieh trial,
tho announced presidential candidacy
of Field Marshal Won Hindenhurg,
the attack on allied officers by Prince
Joachim Abrecht at the Adlon ho-
tel and other incidents contributed
to make the cabinet nervous over the
situation.

YOUNG DENNY WILLING
 TO MAKE 148 RINGSIDE
 FOR CHAMPION BRETON

New Orleans, December 5.-0Speciak)- Not only will Young Denny make l5o pounds for Jack Britton champion of the welters but if Jack will agree to risk his title Denny will reduce his weight to 14s ringside, which is the weIterweight championship limit prescribed by Louis- iana's new boxing law, or 147 at 3 o'clock, which is the Emit now recognized in New York.
 This is Denny's reply to Britton's recent interview in the New Orleans 1tem in which the champion said he would gladly take on the local fighter if he made 150."
 My brother can do 15O with ease, and believe he can beat Britton at 14s ri7 7sside, said Paul Lacroix. who man. ages tho fighter. ''I understand that Brifton had a talk with Dominick Tor torich while he was here and said he might box Denny 10 rounds but didn't want a decision rendered. That shows how much he respects Denny. What he wants is a 15 or 20-round fight to de- cision. Of course. we know that Britton is taking his own referee with him, but that will not go here in Louisiana, as the new law forbids any other than a na- tive of Louisiana refereeing a fight in this state.
