New-York tribune., 1920-03-14

All Berlin newspapers, except those OF
the junker nationalists, protested
against this outrage and demanded ac-
tlon by Noske. but vainly.
Allied insistence on the extradition
OF war leaders was exploited by the ma
tlonalists to whip up the patriotic fury
of the population, and the Berlin corre-
spondents of foreign newspapers sew
cral weeks ago issued the warning that
the mllitarists were about to stake their
fortunes on this desperate gamble Ior
ascendancy. War Minister Noske, who
now is reported to have removed Gen
eral Won Luettwitz from the command
OF the Doeberitz garrison, was openly
charged with conniving at the militarist
activities Of officers drawing the paw
OF the republican government.
The Ebert government virtually came
INTO being November 10, 1918, when
Friedrich Ebert, leader of the ma
jority Social Democrats and formerly q
saddlemaker, was nominated Chancellor
by Prince Max Of Baden, last to hold
that Office by imperial appointment.
The provisional government OF the re-
public. which sprang into existence
through the revolution and the Kaiser's
lgnominlous fight to Holland, included
representative Of the Independent So
cialists, and one Of the first acts of the
Berlin crowds on the proclamation Of

the republic was the freeing Of the
Spartacus leaders, Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg, from prison.
"The new government will be the gov
ernment of the people," Chancellor
Ebert said. ut must make every effort
to secure in the quickest possible time
peace for the German people and con-
solidate the liberty they have won. The
new government has taken charge of
the administration to preserve the Ger
man people from civil war and famine
and to accomplish their Legitimate
claim ta elf-government."
Crisis Over Peace Terms
The first real crisis to threaten the
Ebert regime, however, arose over tn.
question Of accepting the peace treaty
terms. Ebert, Scheidemann and other
leaders we're opposed to yielding to
the Entente demands. Scheidemann
resigned and pro-treaty Cabinet, in
cluding DR.. August Mueller and ex-
Labor Secretary Bauer, former Social
allst member Of the Reichstag, was or
ganlzed. Bauer in speech ct Weimar
before the National Assembly de-
nounced the treaty in strong terms,
but announced the governments de-
cision to sign.
1918 broke out in Berlin there was a
steady run on German banks. Ebert,
then Chancellor, at q conference in
Berlin on November 25, 1918, with sew
enty delegates from various parts Of
Germany, said: "Evcrything was in
ruin when we took charge. Now, how
ever, a socialistic republic has re-
placed the monarchy and power has
been put in the hands of the workmen
and soldiers"
