GERMANYS new
{ CABINET WILL
ACCEPT Terms Of
ALLIED COUNCIL
Believed That DR.. Wirth's
Answer to Council VIII
Be Unconditional Ac-
ceptance of Terms

Berlin May il. 49, Germany's new
cabinet today began preparation OF the
governments formal note to the en-
tente, accepting the terms laid down
by the supreme allied council in Lon
don. DR.. julius Wirth, the new chan
cellor, received what amounted to
vote of confidence in the reichstag
last night, that body approving of the
mlnistry's decision 10 accept the allied
ultimatum The vote stood 22l to l75,
giving the Wirth government a mar
gin Of 46.
The vote cast for acceptance on the
entente terms We're from tie centrist
democratic, Independent socialist and
majority socialist party The nation
alists, German peoples party, commu
nists and the Bavarian peoples party
were opposed to the plan of the min
istry, as announced by the new chan
cellor. In his address, DR.. Wirth EN-
hasized the tremendous burden Ger
many would assume in agreeing to
meet the entente terms but insisted
the alternative Of French occupation
Of the Ruhr valley would completely
cripple Germany's Industrial life and
democratize the country.
The allied demand in brief. was pay
ment by June /, the one billion gold
marks due on May /; trial OF Ger.
man officers and soldiers accused OF
crimes during the war; complete dis
armament of the military naval and
aerial arms Of Germany's service and
ultimate payment of $33 $50 900 900 in
reparations. The reparation obliga-
ton would be paid in installments OF
approximately 1856, 600 900 per year,
in addition to 25 per cent of the value
Of Germanys exports.
1t Is believed here that DR.. Wirth's
answer to the supreme allied council
will be an unconditional acceptance Of
the allied terms, but IL has been indi
Gated that representations would be
made that compliance with the dis
armament clauses on the councils ul-
tlmatum be attended by danger, espe-
cialiy on the eastern frontiers. where
the Poles have engaged in a serious
insurrection with the Intention Of taxi

Since the announcement Of the new
German ministry. there has been some
speculation as 10 its stability. The
imminence Of French invasion OF
theRuhr district and cmlnous events
IN Sllesia might have assisted in damp
ening enthusiasm yesterday. but the
session Of the reichstag at which the
new cabinet presented itself was with.
out demonstration and was frequently
monotonoGs.
Or. Wirth has been often considered
an under-study OF Matthias Erzberger.
former minister of finance and is be-
lleved 20 oc determined 10 carry ont
the la;tcr s. financial policies, which
are unpopular with rcinbers uf the
German peoples party ana even
prominent democrats. Announcement
by Dr. Nirth that the ministry Of IL
nance was awaiting an occupant
prompted several deputies to interject
The NAM of Erzberger, and there were
many observers last night, who pre-
dicted H., political resurrection OF
| Er2bergcr. Their convicticu on this
| point was made stronger By the tact
that the 'c1trist party has secured 4
dominating Influence in the govern

II was said today that q permanent
