Can't Stop Wholesale Strike.
Strike orders were issued yester-
day in this city and it is expected
the critical moment for the new
government will come when the
workingmen walk out. Chancellor
Kapp has announced he would take
decided steps to suppress any insur-
rection by strikers, but it does not
seem probable he can prevent a
wholesale stoppage of work in Ber-
lin and throughout Germany. In
some sections of Germany the strike
order is said not to be viewed with
favor, but there are indications that
the socialist parties will attempt TO
bring about a total tie-up of busl-
ness today or tomorrow.
Chancellor Kapp has issued mani
festoes in an attempt to convince the
people the government over which
he is presiding will insure the estab-
lishment of a real democracy in
Germany. Promises that elections
will be held as soon as quiet is re-
stored have been given, and the peo-
pie have been informed that main
tenance of order and protection OF
the country's economic life will be
the only reasons for the taking OF
drastic steps by the government.

from Berlin. it was said today, indi-
Gated that the revolution in Prussia
had thus far been confined TO the

and was without other political sup
port. Leaders of the conservative
parties and such industrial leaders
as DIR. Walter Rathenau. president of
the German General Electric com
pany, 1t was declared, had condemned
the movement.
From all the information thus far
received. il was added, the impress
sion in official circles was that the
military party might hold possession
of Berlin and other important CEN
ters and prolong the state of uncer-
tainty for some time, possibly a
month or two, but that without the
support of other political elements
than tho pan German party the
movement was doomed to failure.
