EBERT STRONGER,
SAYS WASHINGTON

Washington, March 18.-Q.
N. S.)-The Ebert government
will be restored in Germany
and will be stronger than ever
before, it was predicted in off,
cial circles today. The predic-
tons were based upon unofIi-
cial advices reaching Wash
ington.
Some officials took the view
that the overthrow of the Ebert
government was partly the re-
suit of too much harassing
from the allies. 1t was stated
that the demand for German
war guilty and the Scapa Flow
demands and other demands
by the allies had created an
unrest in Germany which
made revolution easy. Faith
in the sincerity of the Ebert
government was expressed
here, and it was strongly indi-
Gated that this government
will do all in it's power to help
the restored Ebert government
to offset the effects of the rev.
olutiOn.

AMERICANS IN
FEAR OF DEATH
Attending Leipzig Fair When
Revolution Started-Ap-
peal to Gen. Allen.

Coblenz, March ia. P)-Two
hundred Americans who have been
attending the fair at Leipzig have
telegraphed and telephoned Maj
Gen, II, L. Allen, commanding the
American army of occupation,
urgently asking for help to leave
Leipzig, where they describe condi-
tions as dangerous to their lives,
Gen. Allen is sending a special train
to bring them away.
Firing is almost continuous in
various parts of Leipzig and all the
light and water services have been
cut off. according to the Americans,
who are principally buyers from va
rious parts of the United States.
Gen. Allen has directed the Ger
man railway commission of the
Rhineland provinces to prepare a
train, which will be in charge of a
detachment of American soldiers.
The train will carry sufficient fuel
for the journey both ways and food
for several days for the guards and
the returning Americans. The latter
will probably be brought to Cob
LEM, but may, if the majority of
them desire, be taken to the Swiss
frontier.
Gen. Allen has received about fifty
messages of distress, indicating that
the situation has grown consider
ably worse during the last forty
eight hours.
The train probably will start for
Leipzig tomorrow. There has been
some delay in getting a satisfactory
train together, owing to the shortage
OF rolling stock.

Constantinople, March 1S.-(A. P)
The second day of the interallied
occupation of Constantinople, carried
out on Tuesday by large forces from
the imposing war fleet l. the Bos-
phorus. passed with entire calm, the
Turkish police cooperating in keep
ing order. The ferry and telephone
services have been resumed. Only
small attachments of allied soldiers
are visible in the streets and about
the public buildings.
The French and the Italians had
only small forces here and they are
far less active than the British
troops, which are eXcellently organ

precision of clockwork.
Among the prisoners taken were
Essad Pasha, nationalist leader, and
Mohammed Pasha, who was minis
ter of war Just before the great war
opened and has been the chief or
ganizers of the propaganda for an
American mandate,
The Turkish newspapers and the
foreign office are so heavily censored
that it is impossible to obtain the
authoritative Turkish view of the
situation. Turks with whom the
correspondent spoke however, were
free in declaring their opinion that
Constantinople was about to repeat
the history of Cairo; that the Brit
ish would remain in Turkey, as they
had in Egypt Meanwhile the French
and English newspapers here are
featuring Paris and London dis
patches. which ailege the expectancy
that the United States will assume
responsibility in restoring order in
the near east.
The general opinion expressed
among Americans here in touch with
near east conditions is that the oc-
cupation was prompted more by po-
litical than humane motives.
