Litical, ,Boyish7'rick,W vi ith
No Support He Asserts

THE HAGUE, March 16 (By The As
sociatcd Press THE Berlin CORE
spondent of the "Nieuwe Rotterdamsche
Courant" teiephoned this message to
his paper last night:
Germany is rudderless ship.
Kapp's undertaking proves increasingly
to be not an achievement, but a politi-
cal, boyish trick. The new government
is seeking on all sides for support, but
realizes that support is nowhere to be
not SO serious, one could see the hu-
morous side Of this operetta revolu-
ton.
"Kapp supported his efforts to win
over the independents by proposing to
form a Cabinet embracing the extrem-
list Left to the furthest Right, but this
naive plan naturally miscarried. The
new government seems to have allowed
the right moment for action to pass
and now is endcavoring to seek Il safe
issue through negotiations with the old
regime"

Washington Thinks

cause 1t Lacks Support

From The Tr'buncs Washington Bure1r
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Return
of the Ebert government to power in
Germany, forecast in to-day's press
dispatches, is confidently expected here
by officials who have received directly
from Berlin reports that indicate an
early restoration of the old govern
ment.
The dispatches, which were not made
public, carry the. strong intimation
that the Kapp- Luettwitz government
would fall because no strong backing
had developed for the reactionarv
party. The reported reputation Of
the counter-revolutionists by Won Hin
denburg was considered significant as
indicating that thus far no outstanding
1lgure' except Won Luettwitz, had de-
veloped in the upheaval
"Ihe new government may have
some big men behind it," said one Of
tlcial, but they have not yet appeared.
1t can hardly be expected that the hard
common sense of the German business
group, which is power in the central
empire, will back any sporadic out
break such as the present uprising
seems to be. They will think seriouslv
oe1ofe lending their support to anv
movement the first result of which
seems to be stoppage of industrial
actvities'
kapp a Typical Bureaucrat
Chancellor Won Kapp, it was said to-
day, is typical bureaucrat, whose
history in Germany has been largely
that OF an unmportant lawyer with
Ieanlngs toward financial matters. It
was officially disclosed that Won Kapp
has passed most of his life in the prov
lnces, concerned almost wholly with
agricultural tnanciering.
On the other hand, Won Luettwitz
mas had notable military career. At
the beginning Of the war Won Laett-
WIZ, whose full name and title is
Lieutenant General Walther Freiherr
Won Luettwitz, was commanding officer
OF the 1st Baden Grenadier Regiment.
IN 1913 he was commanding officer of
the Sd Corps, known as picked Berlin
troops, which was in command Of q
sector on the British and French

the right parties d1sspproved Of the
holding Of elections in the autumn and
also objected to indirect voting for
the Presidency.
Ebert refused to yield and began to
take counter measures for the plot
he foresaw. 1t was found that the plot
had spread throughout the officers
corps, and that there we're many de-
fections among the safety police, but
the main material on which the plot
ters were relying were the truculent
Baltic troops of Colonel Avaloff Ber-
mondt's command in camp at Doeberitz,
which the government never had sue
ceeded in dlsarming or disbanding.
BY 10 o'clock Friday night the whole
of the Williamstrasse district was
held by troops with machine guns.
People leaving the theaters were taken
completely by surprise. Seemingly the
Baltic troops had been compelled to
anticipate their march to Berlin by
twenty-four hours through the Ebert
governments counter measures.

William H. Allen, Of Philadelphia, a
stockholder in the San Francisco Sugar
Company, brought suit against that
concern yesterday before Vice-Chan-
cellor James F. Fielder, in Newark,
N. j., to restrain it from leasing it's
assets to Cuban corporation and thus
escape paying the government $1,000,-
900 in taxes annually. Mr.. Allen says
that he is bringing this suit from pure
ly patriotic motives, and if the injunc-
tion he demands is granted he will lose
$4,000 year.
After the hearing Vice Chancellor
Fielder reserved decision.
Richard v. Lindabury. counsel for
the sugar concern, admitted that the
proposed lease was to escape payment
of income and excess profits taxes, but
insisted that the plan was legal. In
support of this he presented an afti-

LONDON, March 16.-Although the
Allied leaders believe the Kapp gov

prepared for any eventuality, and as a
first step general movement of
troops has begun inside the Rhine
area. If necessary Allied soldiers will

COBLENZ, March 16 (By The Asso-

occupation, numbering 1900 men, is

orders issued before the German revo-

those concerned with policing the oc-

The total Allied forces along the
