The Ebert government issued a
statement declaring the RoyaIst coup
at Munich is ended.
The army remains loyal to the legal
Bavar1an government, the statement
said.
The official statement Is based on a
message from Wuersberg.
All public buildings in Munich now
are occupied by the proper authod-
ties, the statement says.
The coup is over, the message says.
Uprising Weak
The weakness Of the Bavarian mon
archist uprising caused Crown Prince
Rupprecht to refuse to cooperate
with Ludendorff and Hitler from the
start. Rupprecht. who gained re-
apparently saw 1t was strategically i'm
possible for Bavartan troops to march
on Berlin. and subdue Prussia on be-
half Of the reactionar1es.
Rupprecht, throughout the World
War, opposed Ludendorff as a vision
airy, whose plans pointed to disaster.
Without Rupprecht's support the Eu.
derdorff coup in the laonarchists' In
terest had TO turn to the Hohenzol
lerns. This is doubtless the reason
why so strenuous an effort was made
by the reactionaries a few days ago
to arrange for Crown Prince Wilhelm
Eohenzollern to return to Germany.
Coup Dies AbOrning
The refusal of the allies to agree
to this has left the Bavarian mon
archists without a monarch to put
on the throne, and, thus handicapped,
the Ludendorf movement died aborn-
ing.
HitIer's move came at a meeting in
Munich where Premier Won Kniling
and other ministers of the Bavarian
government were present.
Hitler entered with his men and
amid cheers took over the meeting.
He announced he would march on
Berlin.
He proclaimed DR.. Won Kahr, ma
tional dictator, General Ludendor1,

minister Of war; Won Zentner head of
the federal police. while he, himself.
