BERLIN, Sept. AT the meeting OF
the Council Of the Empire yesterday
and a meeting of the Reichstag Wig
iIance Committee to-day heated pas
sages occurred between the Ministers
Of the Imperial and Bavarian govern
ments arising out Of Bavarias re-
sentiment over the failure Of the i'm
perial authorities to consult with the
Federal governments before issuing
President Ebert's exceptional powers
decree.
Herr Preger of the Bavarian Min
istry at yesterdays meeting expressed
Bavaria's "pained astonishment." Herr
Gradnaur, Minister of Interior in the
Imperial Cabinet, explained in defence
that the Government was obliged to
act quickly.
Chancellor Wirth at the meeting OF
the vigilance committee. which is a
committee appointed TO supervise pub
lie affairs during the parliamentary re-
cess. complained OF the threatening
speeches and reproached the parties OF
the right for making difficulties.
Herr Wirth's speech caused a great
sensation and the debate became ex-
trenely animated
In his speech delivered before the
Congress of the German national Peo-
pies party at Munich yesterday, the
former Prussian Minister Hergt said:
1--WE regard the German constitution
merely as an episode. We will not al
low 1t to keep US from the attainment
of our highest aims, namely, restoration
OF the monarchy and the carrying out
Of the ideas of Kaiserdom."
Vorlodcrts's Munich correspondent says
that the Bavarian authorities have taken
no steps to enforce the suppression by
Berlin of the MiesbdcJter AnSet1er and
the Voellcischer BeobGchter. The rail-
way and postal authorities of Bavaria
to-day refused to forward copies OF these
journals, but copies OF the former were
sent by automobile to Munich, where
they were sold by thousands.
Admiral Won Scheer, who commanded
the German squadron which engaged the
British in the battle of Jutland In 1916.
in an article appearing in the VosSische
Zeit7ln0 to-day, denounced what he de-
scribes as "Germany's- present day de-
cadent morality as exeinplified by the
Erzbergcr murder"
He solemnly warns the youth of the
fatherland against resorting to brutality
and violence, which he says is short
road to the nations utter perdition.
Admiral Won Scheer pleads for the
strict observance of the constitution,
.'for il stands as the sole means OF re-
gaining the respect and confidence OIL
other nations"
Publication of the 'LokGI-Ansei0er has
been suspended for fourteen days by
the Government. 1t is charged that the
newspaper printed report that Two
other journals which had been suspend
ed were continuing to appear despite
the Governments ban.

1t is evident now to supporters of the
old regime that they must isolate Berlin
if they hope to reintroduce the monar-
chy.
The demonstration by half q million
people of Berlin against the monarchists
and in support OF the republic last
Thursday exceeded all expectations and
was the largest demonstration since the
revolution. One Of the features OF 1t
was the prcdominance or German nags
and the new republican colors over the
red flags of the Socialists, which have
characterized previous demonstrations
here. Also for the first time In a dem
onstration of this kind there were mid
die class teachers, engineers and office
workers. In popular demonstrations
heretofore this class of Germans was
not represented.
The Government. feeling its new
strength, has taken advantage Of the
occasion and suppressed nine monarch
ist newspapers which have been par
ticularly violent in their attacks on the
republic.
1t Is significant that President Ebert
and the Government under Chancellor
Wirth are making vigorous moves, in
stead, as was the case before the Kapp
revolt, of putting their heads in the
sand, like ostriches, and asserting that
no danger existed. Until now fear of
the Bolshevists has held the Government
back from undertaking fight on two
fronts. The insignihcance of the Ger
man radical movement now leaves more
freedom to deal with the monarchists
without weakening the common citizens
front AGAINST the Bolshevists.
