KAISER NOT IMPLICATED
 ay AsSocfated PrsSa

The Hague, March 13.-Neither the former emperor nor the crown prince former emperor nor the crown prince government in Germany, so far as can be learned here. The Associated Press was assured today by an entirely relia- ble authority that both Amerongen castle, where the former emperor lives, and the island of Wieringen, where the former crown prince makes his resi- dence are already so closely guarded that it will be absolutely unnecessary for the Dutch government to take further measures to prevent intrigu, or their escape.
 It is learned however, that J. B Kan. secretary general of Holland. whd is charged with guarding the former emperor and crown prince. is engaged in conference with the minister of jus tice, having previously consulted off cials of the home ministry.
 ISSUE PROCLAMATION
 Berlin. March 13.--Chancellor Kapp of the new Berlin government. and Major General von Luettwitz have is- sued the following 'proclamation
 "The overthrow of the government must not be taken as reactionary- on the contrary. it is a progressive meas ure of patriotic Germans of all par ties. with a view to establishing W. ernment in Germany. It is an over due attempt to lay the foundations for the economic resuscitation of Ger many, enabling her to fulfill those con- ditions of the peace treaty which are reasonable. and not seif-destructive. Inspired by zeal and desire for the benefit of all the German people, the new government invites heartily the assistance and cooperation or the independents in the creation and elab- oration of laws for the betterment of | the working classes"
 I The manifesto charges the socialist government with overburdening the people with taxation. failing to create conditions for an increase of produc- ! ton in all lines. suppressing news papers which criticized it. and other wise interfering with personal liberty and refusing to dissolve the nationa tassembly and issue writs for new cleo. ltionS.

SURPRISE TO LONDON

London March 1S.-The revolution in Berlin was an entire surprise to Lon don. apparently to none more than the German legation here. The secretary of the legation. Herr Schuber. said to- night:
 Not a word has been received from Berlin. How far the movement IS . monarchist one I am unable to say We never dreamed of anything of the kind and am unable, to understand it."
 The British government received 70 confirmation of the revolution until late this afternoon and the officials were inclined to doubt the newspaper reports until officially confirmed. Most of the high officials are out of town for the weekend. and the chief point of discussion is whether the Ho- henbollerns are concerned in the plo' and what will be the attitude of the new administration toward the peace treaty.

wILHELMsTRAssE BARRED

Berlin, March 13.-The entrance into Wilhelmstrasse from Under Den Linden is barred off with barbed wire and
 further protected with field guns and
 machine guns. Numerous troops with their lorries and field kitchens are sta toned outside the British embassy close to the corner. Their flag, Germany's former naval coluors, is leaning against the embassy window.
 There has been no attempt to molest foreigners, and members of the allied missions find no difficulty in passing in their cars through the barricades The ordinary Berliner seems to treat the counter revolution lightly. but on investigation one finds general feel ing of uneasiness as to what the future may bring forth. It is thought that the agrarians, who naturally support the movement, will send food to Berlin quickly and in as large quantity as possible in order to ma intain the prestige of the new gov ernment. But no one knows what the workers in the Ruhr coal fields and the railway
 men will do.
 Alexanderp1atz, near the police pre- lecture, is crowded with people this evening, for the most part workers, the number of whom is estimated at about 50, 900.
 According to the Tageblatt, the coun- ter revolutionary troops are composed principally of the Erhardt and Loewen- field brigades, about 5000 In all. Ad- miral von Trotha, chief of the admir- atty, was sent on the governments or ders to Doeberitz to deter the troops from what has termed a politically l insane" plan, After attempting to calm the men he returned to Berlin, his mis- sion unfulfilled.
 I The chief of police, Eugen Ernst, re- plying to the request of General Von
 Luettwit to remain at his post to pre- l vent disturbances, said that while 1t I would be to the interest of the father l land for him to remain provisionally at his post and do everything in his power 1 to avoid civil war and fresh bloodshed. he could only give his final answer after consulting his party friends. The deputy chief of police in brief speech 1 to his subordinates, requested them to I continue to perform their duties.

The mutineers, who be- longed mainly to naval brigades with some additions from Baltic troops who have always been disaffected and un- disciplined, met the governments rep resentatives, of whom the chief was General Won Oldershausen, and pro- posed some terms of an extreme char acter which were referred to the cabi- net in Berlin

PAYNE's MEMORANDUM

'The board has carefully considered the different matters involved in a proposition to make working ar engagement with the Hamburg -Amerf- can line, involving the shipping boards taking over the sixty services formerly served by that line.
 Ut is the sense of the board:
 "First-That no direct arrangem ent be made by the board with the Ham, burg line.
 that an American company or group of companies, make an arrangement py which this business may be secured.
 "Third--The board is prepared to CO., operate with an American company or companies in the sale or charterlng of ships to enable such American com panies to secure this outlet. the terms of any contract which may be made with the Hamburg American line be- ing subject to the approval of the board"
 While shipping board officials would not concede that there had been any negotiations with the Hamburg -Ameri- can line, it was understood that the company was disposed to enter into a co-operative contract with American steamship lines. Details of the con- tract remain to be worked out as the board, it was explained, was not, pre- pared to make any further move in the direction of this development of Ameri- can commerce without the approval or the Senate committee, because tech nical state of war still exists between the United States and Germany.

AssEMBLY DISSOLVED

At the same moment proclamation prepared in advance was issued promis- ing the people freedom and order and dissolving the national assembly, de- claring the assemblys mission, which was to establish a constitution and conclude peace, has been fulfilled. The leaders of the late government have, on their part. issued an appeal to the people, claiming their support against the reactionaries and calling upon them to organize a general strike.
 The late government leaders quit Berlin at an early hour and later were reported at Dresden, where the seat of the old government has been es- tablished
 The public mt large was taken
 completely by surprise. Life in
 Berlin Is proceeding today as usual.
 Prognostications regarding the
 future for the moment seem idle.
 Yesterday the chief interest was fi- nancial and commercial circles were absorbed in the sudden and remark able rise in the value of the mark. During the last few days persons who had been hoarding foreign money for speculative purposes began unloading as fast as possible. Whether this had anything to do with the turn in politi- cal events it is impossible to say. Att tention is being called to the latest statement of the Reichbank, which shows a great increase in the flood of paper money.

The routes which the American com panies will take over include those not only between Germany and the undeo States, but also to South America the Orient and other parts of the world Shipping board officials. said the busl- ness probably would be too great for any one American company to handle and that if the arrangements went through several companies propapiy would operate the immense fleet nec- essary to take care of the enormous volume of business which the Germany company had before the war.
 Under the original plan it was pro- posed that the board itself make working arrangement with the Ham, burg Anne erican line but this plan was disapproved by the board. In this connection, Chairman Payne today made public the following memoran- dunn, which was submitted to the Sen ate comm marce committee:
