Reichstag regard the Cabinet as too
Socialistic and incapable OF outlining
policy whereby Germany can begin
Immediately meeting the Entente's
financial demands.
The present Cabinet Is the out
growth OF two days of the widest pos
sible chaos, in which the parties met
day and night, and finally, in despera-
ton, the members agreed upon an
improvised slate. which underwent
scores Of changes in the last forty
eight hours. and admittedly never
could have obtained ratification had

Entente military movements threat

Influenced by BRANDS Note.
The note sent to Berlin by Premier
BRAND or France in which Germany
was Informed that the sending of Gov
ernHent troops into Upper Silesia would
be considered by France as violation
OF the Versailles Treaty, had an influ-
ence In bringing about decision on the
part of several Deputies to join the ele-
= mentS ready to accept the allied ulti-
matum.
The French Premier's communication
was generally viewed here as betraying
an overzealous desire to stimulate among
Reichstag parties opposition to signing
the Entente terms. Leading Democratic
Deputies declared yesterday that accept
sance Of the ultimatun would be the most
defective way of counteracting French
aspirations. and contended that sincere
effort on the part Of Germany to carry
sout the conditions of the utimatum
would strengthen her "a sc in the United
States and England.
Count Won Bernstorff. formerly Ger
nan Ambassador to the United States.
was one of the most prominent Demo-
cratic Deputies to champion acceptance.
a course he has persistently advocated
in party conferences and IN public
speeches
IF the Poles steal Upper Silesia and
sthe French invade the Ruhr district
Germany will be so completely weakened
that she will be unable to carry out the |
conditions" declared Theodor |
Wolff. editor Of the Tdgebldtt yesterday. !
This statement occurred in the course Of
an editorial in which DIR. Wolff declared
he had come to the conclusion that ac-
