Gustav Noske, Minister of

Generals in the Army.
tBy the Associated Press)

The collapse of the reactionary die
tatorship has been quickly followed b.
the resumption of authority on th'
part of the old government. Its chic
task for the moment, it appears, viii
be to deal with the disordered condi
tions which the Spartacans are endeav.
oring to prolong for their own pur-
poses.
Dispatches stating that Minister OF
Defense Noske, the strong arm of the
constitutional regime, was back on the
scene in Berlin, have been followed by
reports that President Ebert also had
returned to the capital from Stutt
CART. Pending his return, Vice Premier
Schneider of the Bauer cabinet took
over the direction of affairs relin,
quished by DR.. Kapp when he gave up
his effort to establish new govern
ment.
There are reports current in Berlin
that eX-Chanceilor happ had commit

with that Of other leaders of the re-
dictionary movement, is said to have
been ordered by President Ebert.

LITTLE RELIABLE NEWS
COMES FROM GERMANY
The Dispatches Seem to Indicate That
Ebert Government Has Great Prob
lem to Handle the Radicals.

Paris, March lS.--The situation in
Germany is more obscure than ever
this morning. Little reliable new;
came out of that country during the
night, but the position of the Ebert
| government seems to be growing
stronger, while the movement led by
DR.. Wolfgang Kapp has definitely col
lapsed
President Ebert seems to be facing a
situation almost as difficult as when
Sparticism first ragged in Berlin, but it
is evident the old government does not
intend to lose any time in acting. Or
ders were given for the arrest of DR..
Kapp and General Won Luettwitz last
night, according to adyices received
here, but they seem to have avoided
arrest for the time being at least, re-
ports stating they had left Berlin.
Before leaving Stuttgart for Berlin
last night Gustav Noske, minister of
defense in the Ebert government, de-
clared he hoped to restore order at the
capital within. four days.
Up until o o'clock last night 2l0
members of the German national as
sembly, including only five independent
socialists, had arrived at Stuttgart.
1t was announced at to-day's session
Of the national assembly the independ
ent socialists would unreservedly sup
port the constitution. Members of the
German popular party, which is the old
conservative organization, met yester
day to discuss participation in the gov
ernment. Elections for the German
Reichstag win probably be held before
July |.
