Berlin, Friday, March 1A--General Won IuettwItz, commander of the first reichswehr brigade, has been sum- marily removed from his post by Gus tave Noske, Minister of Defense, and units Of military organizations in Ser hn are held in their barracks ready for instant action as the result of an alleged discovery of a reactonary plot here today.
 Official bulletins declare the plot ters plan to move on Berlin and with the aid of the Doeberitz garrison over- throw the government Among those said to be involved are Captain Pabst and Dr. Won Kapp, Pan-German prop agandist. Both were formerly fden- tified with the bridage commanded bv General Won Luettwitz and were prominent in the fighting here during the early revolutionary period Troops recently returned from the Baltic states also are said to have been im- picated in the alleged conspiracy.
 Under the names associated with the new revolutionary movement in Germany are many which indicated it's reaet9onary character. It would appear therefore that Germany is in the throes of the long expected and frequently predicted counter revo- lutionary, monarchist struggle.
 The Dr. Won Kapp reported as having assumed the chanceIIorshfp fp it seems probable, is Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, a former conservative mem Der of the Reichstag and General Director of the German Agriculture society.
