NIVIL war seems imminent in
Germany as the result of the
refusal of the Ebert govern
ment now sitting at Stuttgart to
carry on negotiations with the re-
dictionary re.;me which seized the
government suddenly Saturday
morning.
The unconditional surrender of the
men directing the new government Is
demanded by President Ebert who
announced he would continue to direct
the affairs of the troubled country
from Wurttemberg.
The German national assembly
meets in Stuttgart tomorrow.
Berlin is in the grip of general
strike called by the socialists as a
counter strike to the assumption of
power by Wolfang Kapp.
1t seems evident that the Ebert
government is still holding control
over the southern and western Sec
tions while the Kapp regime is firmly
entrenched in northeast Prussia and
Silesia. SO far as is known the armed
forces of the two governments have
not come into collision.
