10 join the elements ready to accep.
the Allied ulumatum. The French
Premiers communication was Rener-
ally viewed here as bctraying an over
jealous desire TO stimulate among
Relchstag parties opposition to siga-
ing the Entente terms,
Leading Democratic deputies de-
elared that acceptance Of the ulu-
matum would be the most effective
way Of counte-acting French aspira-
lions, and contended that sincere
EFFORT on the part OF Germany n
carry out the conditions of the ulti-
matum would strengthen her case in
the United States and England
Count Won Bernstorh, former Ger
man Ambassador TO the United
States was one OF the most prominent
Democratic Deputies TO champion ao-
ceptanee, a course he has persist
entity advocated.
There Is probability that the re-
firing Fehrenboch Cabinet may &C
ccpt officially the London ultimotun
for Germany. Dohnite decision has
net been reached, but there IS con
siderable sentiment In favor Of such
procedure among members Of the
present coalition parties, vino believe
Il would provide an expediont way
out OF the present crisis. They declare
II would not cucumber the incoming
ministry with what Is viewed as an
odious and thankless Job.
"If the Poles steal Upper Silesia
and tho French invade the Ruhr dis
Iict. Germany will be so completely
weakened that she will be unable to
carry out the reparation conditions"
declared Theodor Wolff, editor OF the
TageblstL 'Lineoln's warning" he
continued, mot TO swap horses while
crossing n stream, has not been OBJ
served in the present situation. Tho
retiring Cabinet gravely complicated
the crisis by retreating."
He pointed out the inevitable loss
of the Ruhr district and Upper Silesia
in the event OF the rejection Of the
Allied terms. DR.. Wolff demanded
tangible guarantees that Germanys
acceptance OF the ultimatum would
not be followed by arbitrary invasion
Of the Ruhr region by the French at
some later date and on some nimsy
pretext.
III the French, nevertheless, pounco
upon their coveted booty through no
clearly proven fault OF Germany" he
concluded, they no. doubt win be
permitted to remain, and any pro-
vision Of the Versailles treaty for
bidding such action will become null
and void"
DR.. KAHN, the Bavar ian Premier.
has Informed the press that in his
opinion 1t would be madness to place
Inc disarmament question in the fore
ground, declaring this to be only
secondary consideration, the principal
question still being that OF replra-
tons. He characterized the report
Of a possible change in the Bavarian
Government as a haseless invention.
The Tageblatt and the Vossische
Zeitung express belief in the possibil-
ity of the restoration of the old cOali-
ton, consisting of the Centre Party
and the Democratic and Social Dem
ocratic parties. According to the lat
ter newspaper. the Centre and the
eDmocratic parties are agreed on this
course.
The Majority Socialist Vorwaerts,
however. says that the Centre party
leaders are insisting upon the view
that they can only support a Gov
eminent which favors complying
with the ultlmatum II the Democra Us
and the Peoples Party support them
in this critical time.
French troops arc reported. already
10 have entered the Ruhr Valley and
to have occupied parts of the town Of
Muelheim.
The time for Germany TO give the
categorical answer to the Allied re-
paration demands expires at midnight
May IL. The terms, in the main, call
for payment by Germany of approx
mately S3S, 1850, 900, 900. and fulnnment
Of NdrlOub OtneT requirements OF Ind
Treaty Of Versailles. including the DIS
armament clauses. Failure to accept
is to be followed by Allied occupation
OF the industrial region Of the Ruhr
Valley.
