rs HUN DICTATOR
DECLARES TOOK STEP TO AVOID
PLUN0iNG COUNTRY INTO
HANDS OF REDS.
After Holding Reins Of Power for Less
Than Five Days, seIf-Appointed
Chancellor and Dictator Retires,
Declaring Mission Fulfilled.

Berlin.-The revolution in Germany
seems to be drawing to Il close. After
holding the reins Of power. for less
than five days, DR.. Wolfgang Kapp,
the self-appointed chancellor and die
tatOr, has retired from office and con-
troll He resigned on March II. and
an official communication explained
the chancellor considered his mission
fulfilled when the old government de-
cided to meet the most essential de-
mands addressed to 1t. He was also
moved to this action by the extreme
necessity OF the fatherland, which de-
manded union against the dangers of
Bolshevism.
The government of Friedrich Ebert
the Socialist president of the German
republic, was OverthrOwn on March 49,
DIR. WOlfgang Knapp was at the head
of the movement, which 1t Is generally
believed was backed by the former
kaiser and the former crown prince of
Germany.
Many lives have been lost as result
Of fighting which has followed the
overthrow of the Ebert government,
and Germany faces one Of the most
serious conditions since the signing of
the arnfistlce.
The real circumstances of Kapp's re-
tirement are still shrOuded in mystery.
An important factor undoubtedly is to
be found in the deliberations of the
undersecretaries and imperial council,
which Major General Won Luettwitz at
tended. The views Of this conference
were that both Kapp and Won Luett-
WITT withdraw in order to terminate
an intOlerable position.
Won Luettwitz agreed to this. but
when he returned to the chancellOry
he allowed himself to be persuaded to
change his mind and retain office. TO
him has been delegated the executive
power by the former revolutionary
chancellor, and 1t is difficult to say
what will happen now that Won Luett-
WITT remains the military dictator at
Berlin.
Orders for the arrest of DIR. Wolf
gang Kapp, who assumed control of
German governmental affairs in Berlin
on March 10; General Won Luettwitz,
his military lieutenant, and other lead
ers in the reactiOnary revolt have been
issued by Gustav NOske, minister Of
defense of the Ebert government.
1t IL reported that Gustav NOske,
minister Of defense in the old (Ebert)
government is coming here, and Won
Luettwitz perhaps will transfer his
new found authority to him.
Although the general strike dealt this
government n mortal blow, the decisive
fact is that Kapp and his supporters
had no political prestige, their gov
eminent built only on machine guns.
