EBERT FIRM AGAINST
RELATIONS WITH KAPP

Copenhagen, March 17.-(A P)-
President Ebert, head of the German
government driven from Berlin last
Saturday morning, stands firm in his
determination not to have any relations
with the regime at the capital, says a
short telegram received here from
Stuttgart. The telegram saws that in
the course ar an interview President
Ebert declared:
II am in complete accord with the inn
perial government. We have not so
far deviated from the declarations we
made on Friday night as to reply to
the insurgents ultimatum. There can
be no question of an understanding
with the periured enemies of the Ger
man constitution"
81 replied TO telegram from Gen
'Groener. asking me to await him here
for verbal discussion, but SO far he
has not arrived" Ebert continued.
Gen. Merker had no communication
from us to negotiate with tho insur-
gents. We, on the contrary told him
we must ndhere to the declaration we
made Friday night and we informed
the representatives of tho coalition par
ties we must insist on unconditional
retirement of the insurgents"
The dispatch states a deputation OF
politicians including Gen. Merker be-
licved to he on its way TO Stuttgart
from Berlin, had not arrived there this
afternoon.
President Ebert Is quoted as saying
matters were shaping themselves in
favor Of his government.
"Wuettemburg adheres firmly to u.s."
he said, land Baden, Bavaria, Hesse
end SaSony, as we'll as the whole OF
northwest Germany, also take their
stand on the imperial constitution and
loyalty adhere to us. only In provinces
east OF the Eibe have the insurgents
SO far found any following, but this fol.
lowing is being recruited from the old
Prussian reactlonarles. Great indlgna-
ton over the situation prevails in south
Germany.
Likewise. according to a telegram
received by us, the Rhine land and
Westphalia are opposed to the new re-
gime. If. through the action of insur-
gents, collisions have occurred at sew
eral places which have shaken our eco
nomic life and shattered the peoples food
supply. responsibility falls upon the
insurgents of the German national
party. | have called the attention of
Gen. Won Luettwitz to these cUnse-
quences If his plan is carried out.
"The national assembly and the inn
perial council viii set Temporarily i'm
stuttgart, and members OF the German
national party will assuredly keep away.
On the other hand, several independent
socialists arc already here. Our aim is
to safeguard the constitution and re-
store economic order and public secur-
ity as soon as possible. We shall in
sists on the rebels troops being with
drawn from Berlin and disbanded. II Is
now clear that the German nationaI
party's campaign of excitement which
II pursued for weeks. was aimed at the
overthrow of the constitution and demo-
cracy Democracy or military reaction
that is the question, and / do not
doubt for a moment that the over
whelmlng majority Of the German peo-
pie Is far democracy"

When the officials sought TO leave

Paris, March 1I-(A. P.)--Condl-
tions in Germany, already chaotic,
have been growing worse during the

Gated by dispatches reaching this
city lato last night. While there is
little doubt the reactionary move
ment headed by Dr. Wolfgang Kapp
viii be n flasco, the general strike
weapon WHICH the Ebert regime has
been obliged TO use against It, is
casting the country into greater con-
fusion.
Spartacan elements have seized
their opportunity TO stir UP as much
trouble as possible and disorders In
many parts of Germany are attrib-
uted to the activities of these
stormy petrels."
There is no doubt the Ebert gov
ernment, appalled, by the economic
consequences of prolongation Of
existing conditions, is negotiating. II
not with the coterie led by Dr. kapp,
at least with conservatives who have
been careful not to identify them
selves with DR.. Kapp. A combination
of forces making for restoration of
order as rapidly as possible may be
brought about, but how far political
parties are masters of the situation
is n mooted point. The next few
days will demonstrate whether II is
possible to stem the tide of disaster
