new CABINET TO Be FORMED
New Government For Germany To
Be Constituted out OF Members
Old And New Regime

Berlin.-The counter revolution in
Germany appears to have reached the
end Of the road. There is strong
probability that shortly one govern
ment will be in control, and that Pres
ident Ebert will come back to Berlin
with his ministers.
A basis OF agreement between the
government set up by DR.. Wolfgang
Kapp as chancellor and the govern
ment of President Ebert is enunciated
in declaration issued by the present
Berlin government. Announcement is
made that negotiations with settle
ment in view have been opened be-
tween the two governments at the in
stance of PresidentEbert and his asso-
ciates. There is, however, no direct
confirmation of this from Ebert, who
is understood to be at Stuttgart.
Briefly Chancellor Kapp is agree
able to the continuance in office OF
the present imperial PRESIDENT
who is Friedrich Ebert; he renounces
the formation of a new ministry and
places the direction of affairs in the
hands of the under-secretaries of state.
The agreement as set forth by Chan
cellor Kapp, provides for a cabinet,
which shall include professional min
isters," or experts; elections within
two months for members Of the reich
stag and the Prussian national assem-
bly, and subsequently an election for
imperial president" by the people
until which time Ebert shall hold the
reins of power.
