kal Anzeiger in an extra edition re-
ports that the Ebert government, after
refusing to accede to the ultimatum OF
the revolutlonists, fled In automo-
biles.
Chancellor Kapp has dissolved the
Prussian Assembly

cupied by the revoiutionists. The east-
ern part Of the city, the dispatch said,

lived as 1t is outwardly without sup
port of the Conservatives or the Re
dictionary leaders, and 1t is viewed in
many quarters as n trial balloon"

immediate danger is recognized as a

seems to have very liberal support
from the federal states.
