Following the opening of the negotiations with the Kbert ruginie at Stuttgart, a proclamation was issued here Haying u new cabinet of experts will be choien and a new President elected by direct vote of the people within two montha. Von Kepp promises a second cham¬ ber of the national assembly to be chosen by the workers. It was an¬ nounced that "both governments have joined In a proclamation denouncing the general strike as a crime against the people." Prepare far Siege. The populace of Berlin Is preparing for the worst. The peoplu are with drawing money from the banks and buying large stores of food In prepa ration for a siege. The number of armed communists In Berlin and the suburbs Is growing. A regiment of the Itelchswehr (Kbert government troops) was reported ready to Join the Hpartacists.

One of the demands from President Kbert was that the revolu¬ tionary soldiers be disarmed and turned over to the Kbert government for trial qn the charge of treason, but von Kapp rejected it.

The streets have been flooded with proclamations. Immediately following the an¬ nouncement ihat a cabinet of "ex¬ perts" would be appointed, another manifesto appeared in which the rev¬ olutionary chancellor said he would not appoint a ministry "until the re¬ sults of the deliberations with Stutt¬ gart are definitely known." Herr von Hamifl has been carrying on state business. Airplanes from Stuttgart or Dres¬ den flew over the city, dropping cop¬ ies of a proclamation signed by Kbert and Noske, appealing to the people not to support the revolution¬ ary regime. Leaders of the Democratic party deny Indorsing Von Kapp. They de¬ clare they support the general strike movement against the revolutionary government, except on the part of the public utility workers. The strike Is one of the most com¬ plete Berlin has ever known. There Is no gas. no electricity, no news papers, 110 street railway cars, and little food. The guests at hotels have to do their own cooking. It was rumored that the representa¬ tives of the allied governments had held a conference here and that the British charge d'affaires, Lord Kil marnock, favored Riving von Kapp forty-eight hours to prove his govern- ment stable, but this report lacked confirmation.

PARIS, March 16..The German peace delegation In Paris today denied that a compromise had been reached between the revolutionary government at Berlin and the old government headed by President Frlederlck Ebert at Stuttgart. , Official advices were received from Stuttgart that Herr ICbert Is "not considering negotiations with the Berlin regime." Conflicting reports were received here as to the developments In Ger¬ many. One report was that former Vice Chancellor Karl Helfferich has been appointed foreign secretary In the von Kapp cabinet. Another was that von Kapp "was showing every sign of despair and was making all efforts to withdraw from a bad sit¬ uation." All the public buildings In Berlin are said to havo l>#en barricaded and are being held by big forces of troops Considerable excitement was aroused by a report that Marshal Foch had sent an ultimatum to von Kapp giving him forty-eight hours to quit and threatening to send an army .Into Germany unless the de¬ mand was complied with, but the re¬ port was later denied. Feeling is running high In the dis¬ tricts of Germany occupied by allied troops, but there have been no dis¬ orders. Sympathetic strikes of twen¬ ty-four hours' duration were called by the German railway employes, but the military trains maintained their regular schedules. There are no street cars running at Coblenz. Do you love a Sailor -Hat? 4 Then you girls ought to see those at Parker- Bridget Co. Milan straws, in black, dark brown, dark blue or white braids.

Fight Strikes. The Impression la general that t*e government will shrink from nothing to put down resistance to Its power, especially strikes. "We shall not make the mistake of November. 1018." Is the official declaration. Th* revolution whl< h led to the overthrow of the Hohen zollerns haa been universally attiib- uted by Germans chiefly to the then governments' hcaitancy In usin^ force. Ilerlln In many respects preaen's the picture of general army head¬ quarters during the war. Dr. Traub, a former Luthernan preacher, was appointed Chief of the new government's press department late yesterday. Ignatius Treblteh Lincoln, to whom some British and American cor¬ respondents objected strongly, is no longer press censor. It is announced, hie office having been abolished. Lincoln's part in the overthrow of the Kbert government and his exact conneotlon with the present regime is not clear. Oaaora Dispatcher. He Announced to me yesterday that he could atate officiary that England looked with favor upon the counter revolution of D». Kapp and Luettwltz. Lincoln called on me at the Adlon Hotel yesterday, bringing with him some of my dispatches which he had held up. He asked me to permit him to make some changes. From my office he went across the corridor to the rooms of General Bine- ham. of the British Mission. I am Informed, though unable to confirm It yet, that when Oustav Noake, Ebert's minister of defense, ordered the arrest of Dr. Kapp, the latter took refuge in the British em¬ bassy and remained thero until the troops inarched in. It is Impossible in the present at¬ mosphere to determine satisfactorily whether these statements, coming from persons close to the new regime and persistently spread, are made for the purpose of impressing the public, or whether there Is n\ore truth in. them than Is apparent. SUNDAY. MIDNIGHT..Germany Is in the grip of a counter-revolution. Bloody (lames are flaring up In va- J rious par(s of the country. The scales are trembling between the present military counter-revolution on the one side and radicalism, possibly Bol¬ shevism on the other. "Bolshevism will almost Inevitably follow the failure of the present mili¬ tary revolution," Maximilian Harden, keenest of German political observers, U quoted as saying today. Germany is on the verge of chaos, thought this is hardly perceivable here In Berlin, where the public is cut off from communication with other parts of the country. Three things may prevent a general upheaval: 1. Success of the Kapp-Luettwitz dictatorship. 2. The Kbert government quickly getting the greater part of the coun¬ try behind it and compelling the Kapp regime to aee the futility of re¬ sistance. 3. Allied Intervention. Fighting has taken place In Kiel. Hamburg, Weimar, Eisenach and Frankfurt, according to reports re¬ ceived here but not published, all newspapers having been suspended by Dr. Kapp. A soviet republic Is said to have been proclaimed In Bochum, in the Ruhr coal district, one of the centers of German radicalism. The heaviest flghtlng evidently took place In Kiel, where a bloody battle was fought between sailors and ma¬ rines and striking workers. tVtrkria Entrrjiehed. The sailors and marlneB were com¬ manded by Captain von Levetzow. former commander of the battle cruiser von Moltke. The workers entrenched themselves In the hill district and resisted von Levetzow's attempt to take the town. The sailors and marines went for¬ ward and stormed the heights at the point of the bayonet, assisted, it Is said, by naval gunfire from one or two warships In the harbor. When the bluejackets were burying their dead and removing the wounded the workers renewed the attack. Considerable fighting also is re¬ ported from Frankfort-on-Main, where striking workers are said to have stormed the garrison barracks. In Hamburg adherents of the new government took the city hall and government buildings, but were later driven out by organized and armed workers. Other violent clashes took place In Eisenach and Weimar. Plftt »« Breslno. StTNDAY EVENING..Fighting Is reported raging at Breslau. Ebert, Bauer and Noske are varlouily re¬ ported to be at Dresden. Stuttgart, and Nuernberg Berlin at this hour Is In almost complete darkness. The city is firm¬ ly In the hands of the military forces of General Baron von Luettwilz. The population Is quiet and orderly but throbbing with suppressed excite¬ ment beneath which one senses the rumbling of violence. Dr. Kapp, Oeneral ron Luettwltz . nd their troops are "sitting on the Hd" so tightly that little steam of the people's mental action has a chance to escape. The capital Is more or less In the grip of a general strike, (he effect and extent of which It Is hard to estimate because today thft water works were pumping again and the gas work* were partially In action, though the greater part of the elec¬ tric power stations are at a stand¬ still Tho telephone system Is still working, but no street cars are run¬ ning.

Profrat Oii*or*hlp. A atrong protest against the cen¬ sorship was registered verbally by the correspondents who have been chaffing under the unprecedented obstacles put in their way by that section of the new regime which di¬ rects the dissemination of news. Dr. Kapp, after listening to the newspaper men's representation*, ex¬ pressed surprise, then turned to Under Secretary von Falkenhausen, saying: "See that this matter Is quickly remedied." "What Is the attitude of the new government toward Russia? Will the negotiations recently begun be con¬ tinued?" the chancellor wna asked. "You must understand," he replied, "that I cannot answer questions of a diplomatic nature at this moment." "What does the government pro¬ pose to do to put down the general strike if it breaks out?" he was asked next. "We do not wish to uae force, but if steps are taken toward the eco- nomic destruction of Germany we shall deal with the situation with a llrm hand." Dr. Kapp declared new elections would be arranged "as soon as pos¬ sible." Further questions by the reporters were cut short by Chief Censor Lincoln, pulling out his watch and calling "time." Some of the correspondents served notice on rw. Kapp in departing that until different treatment is accorded them they will refuse to send any¬ thing to their respective newspapers.

I am Informed, though unable toconfirm It yet, that when OustavNoake, Ebert's minister of defense,ordered the arrest of Dr. Kapp, thelatter took refuge in the British em¬bassy and remained thero until thetroops inarched in.
It is Impossible in the present at¬mosphere to determine satisfactorilywhether these statements, comingfrom persons close to the new regimeand persistently spread, are made forthe purpose of impressing the public,or whether there Is n\ore truth in.them than Is apparent.SUNDAY. MIDNIGHT..Germany
Is in the grip of a counter-revolution.Bloody (lames are flaring up In va- Jrious par(s of the country. The scalesare trembling between the presentmilitary counter-revolution on theone side and radicalism, possibly Bol¬shevism on the other."Bolshevism will almost Inevitably
follow the failure of the present mili¬tary revolution," Maximilian Harden,keenest of German political observers,U quoted as saying today.Germany is on the verge of chaos,
thought this is hardly perceivablehere In Berlin, where the public is cutoff from communication with otherparts of the country. Three thingsmay prevent a general upheaval:
1. Success of the Kapp-Luettwitzdictatorship.
2. The Kbert government quicklygetting the greater part of the coun¬
try behind it and compelling theKapp regime to aee the futility of re¬
sistance.3. Allied Intervention.Fighting has taken place In Kiel.
Hamburg, Weimar, Eisenach andFrankfurt, according to reports re¬ceived here but not published, allnewspapers having been suspendedby Dr. Kapp.A soviet republic Is said to have
been proclaimed In Bochum, in theRuhr coal district, one of the centersof German radicalism.The heaviest flghtlng evidently took
place In Kiel, where a bloody battlewas fought between sailors and ma¬rines and striking workers.
tVtrkria Entrrjiehed.The sailors and marlneB were com¬
manded by Captain von Levetzow.former commander of the battlecruiser von Moltke.The workers entrenched themselves
In the hill district and resisted von
Levetzow's attempt to take the town.The sailors and marines went for¬ward and stormed the heights at thepoint of the bayonet, assisted, it Issaid, by naval gunfire from one or
two warships In the harbor.When the bluejackets were burying
their dead and removing the woundedthe workers renewed the attack.Considerable fighting also is re¬
ported from Frankfort-on-Main, wherestriking workers are said to havestormed the garrison barracks.
In Hamburg adherents of the new
government took the city hall andgovernment buildings, but were laterdriven out by organized and armedworkers. Other violent clashes tookplace In Eisenach and Weimar.
Plftt »« Breslno.StTNDAY EVENING..Fighting Is
reported raging at Breslau. Ebert,Bauer and Noske are varlouily re¬
ported to be at Dresden. Stuttgart,and Nuernberg
Berlin at this hour Is In almostcomplete darkness. The city is firm¬ly In the hands of the military forcesof General Baron von Luettwilz. Thepopulation Is quiet and orderly butthrobbing with suppressed excite¬ment beneath which one senses therumbling of violence.
Dr. Kapp, Oeneral ron Luettwltz.nd their troops are "sitting on theHd" so tightly that little steam ofthe people's mental action has a
chance to escape.The capital Is more or less In the
grip of a general strike, (he effectand extent of which It Is hard toestimate because today thft waterworks were pumping again and thegas work* were partially In action,though the greater part of the elec¬tric power stations are at a stand¬still Tho telephone system Is stillworking, but no street cars are run¬ning.The stibwar and elevated (rains
were Idle undl 4 o'clock this af(er-noon, when a nutjiber of trains began

. "N*l Huurrklalt"SUNDAY AFTERNOON.."I want to
reiterate with all emphaala that thl*la not a movement for the reatoratlonof the monarchy. Monarchlat tend¬encies are quite remote from our
inlnda now," declared I>r. Kapp In a
atatement to a acore of Hritlah andAmerluan newapaper correspondent*who called at the chancellor'* palacetbla afternoon, tie added:
"Thla government la a ctvll dlcta-torahlp. not a military one. Ourmovement la prompted by patrioticduty to our fatherland, for a gov¬ernment of law and order In placeof the powerleaa regime which huaaligned itself with corruption."The chancellor In the revolutionary
government gave the Impression of a
man of energy and force aa he re
Iterated what he had aald In yeater-day'* proclamation, thai "the new
government Intenda loyally to carryout the peace treaty Insofar ua It la
reconcilable with German honor anddoe* not mean our destruction."
Dr. Kapp asserted he and hi* fol¬lower* wi re extremely anxloua to es-
tabllah relation* with the Westernpower*. "particularly the United8tatea."
It wai a dlngruntled group of cor-
re*pondent* that a**embleil to meetthe new chancellor In response to a
request by Ignatius Trebltch Lincoln,ex-member of the British Parliament,former Oerman apy. and now chiefcenaor here.
Profrat Oii*or*hlp.A atrong protest against the cen¬
sorship was registered verbally bythe correspondents who have beenchaffing under the unprecedentedobstacles put in their way by thatsection of the new regime which di¬rects the dissemination of news.
Dr. Kapp, after listening to thenewspaper men's representation*, ex¬
pressed surprise, then turned to UnderSecretary von Falkenhausen, saying:
"See that this matter Is quicklyremedied.""What Is the attitude of the new
government toward Russia? Will thenegotiations recently begun be con¬
tinued?" the chancellor wna asked."You must understand," he replied,
"that I cannot answer questions of a
diplomatic nature at this moment.""What does the government pro¬
pose to do to put down the generalstrike if it breaks out?" he was askednext."We do not wish to uae force, but
if steps are taken toward the eco-nomic destruction of Germany we
shall deal with the situation with a
llrm hand."Dr. Kapp declared new elections
would be arranged "as soon as pos¬sible."Further questions by the reporters
were cut short by Chief CensorLincoln, pulling out his watch andcalling "time."Some of the correspondents served
notice on rw. Kapp in departing thatuntil different treatment is accordedthem they will refuse to send any¬thing to their respective newspapers.
