Thursday.

stag adjourned Ior q day, but the
socialists. nationahsts and COM
munists are all prepared to renew
their attack vigorously when the
reichstag reconvenes.
The critical character of the sltua-

the communists precipitated an up
roar, and forced adjournment for
an hour, by charging that police
had been stationed inside the
reichstag chamber, you criminal, =
they shouted TO the president of the

President Loebe, explaining the
presence Of the extra police, de-
clared a plot had been discovered
to assassinate Chancellor Strese-
mann. Agencies similar to those
which murdered Dr.. Rathenau, for
mer foreign minister, were alleged
to be involved.
President Ebert, approaching the
threat against internal order which
another cabinet downfall would
bring. is reported now to have ar
ranged for Stresemann to dissovle

fidence is voted against the govern
ment. This envisages another at
