PREDICT RETURN Of
EBERT GOVERNMENT
Washington Officials Take View
That Harassment BY Allies
Was Cause of Revolution.

The Ebert government will be re.
stored I'm Germany and will be
stronger than ever beore. Il was pre-
dicted In Official circles today. The
predictions were based upon unoffi-
cial Sdvices reaching Washington.
IL was pointed out that the reyolu-
tion should be a warning to the allies
not TO embsrrass the Ebert govern
ment in the future. The revolution
will cause difficulties TO the estab-
iishment OF a sound government In
German. IL was stated, and this gov
ernment must urge the allies to aid in
the rebuilding OF a strong govern-
ment in that country.
Some officials took the view TODAY
that the overthrow of the Ebert gov
eminent was partly the result OF too
much harrasment from the allies.
Faith I'm the sincerity OF the Ebert
government was expressed here.

HOUSE HEARS BILL
ON NAVY WIRELESS
Private Companies Protest
Against Competition Furnish
ed by U. S. Operation.

Facilities for wireless commercial
and press message business between
this and foreign countries were con-
sidered today by the House Merchant
Marine Commute.
Representatives OF business organ
nations. publishers, the navy radio
system. and private radio corpora
tions were given a hearing on the res
oiution which has passed the Senate
authorizing the navy to continue It's
war time ship-to- shore radio message
business and to accept for transmits
sion commercial and news messages at
tolls not less than cost. The navy In
performing this service. however, Is
not to invade a territory adequately
served by private radio corporations.
The private corporations are pro-
testing against the legislation on tho
ground that the competition of tho
navy on the ship-to-shore business,
which Is profitable. operates against
the private concerns and will serve
to prevent contemplated extensions
maintained by the private corpora
lions.
1t is denied by representatives of the
Navy and by business men that the
private corporations give an adequate
ship shore service. and that 1t has
been found necessary to use the navy
system to re-enforce the private
service, in order to secure prompt
dispatch of messages.
The publishers are advocating con-
tinuance Of the foreign radio service
of the navy system in transmitting
news matter for the papers. 1t is
said that unless such service is con-
tinued 1t will be impossible to get
news dispatches from the Far East,
Porto Rico. and other island posses
sions of the United States.

can suddenly acquire, and, though
some Senators are to deliver eleventh
hour speeches, the anal showdown
may come unexpectedly.
Defeat Is Predicted.
Defeat of the treaty for a second
time, despite last-hour efforts to force
is generally anticipated
on all sides. At least fifteen Repub-
licans and twenty-five Democrats are
expected to vote against ratification
as a result OF a coalition between the
opposed to the
treaty on any condition and Admins
tration Senators standing unaiterably
against the Lodge reservation pro-
gram. Only thirty-three votes are
needed to block ratification.
Tremendous pressure is being
brought to bear by outside influences,
political and otherwise, to compel
but little hope that the
treaty will be saved from defeat is
even by those Senators
who are working hardest for rati-
fication.
Treaty In Campaign.
Defeat OF the treaty is expected to
be followed by an attempt to end the
technical state Of war still existing
between the United States and Ger
many by the adoption of a resolution
declaring peace to be re-established
between the two countries.
A resolution by which the treaty
would be returned to the President
with a notification that the Senate had
failed to ratify it is also contemplated.
Whether the treaty Is ratified or not,
leaders of all factions agree the moot
question of the entry Of the United
States into the league Of nations can
not now be kept out of the campaign.
In which the long disputed Article X
Is regarded as certain to be one Of
the big issues.
