An official communique making this announcement says: “The Kommandantur building at Munich was taken this after. noon by Relchswehr troops after a struggle during which consider. able losses occurred on both sides, and Ludendorff and Hitler were arrested.” With the capture of the minis- try of war offices and the arrest ‘ the two leaders the revolt was lared to be completely sup- pressed. Troops and police acting under orders from the Bavarian dictator, Von Kahr, and the relchswehr commander, Von Lossow, now are in occupation of all the public bufldings in Munich. The city is reported to be quiet. Reinforcements have been or- dered: from South Bavaria.

Advices from Berlin and other| centers show that Dr. Von Kahr, Bavarian dictator under the. Von Knilling regime, and the reichswehr | commander, Von Lossow, ranged themselves against the Ludendorff. Hitler organization and that the coup was confined almost wholly to the Munich brew house in which it was staged. The intense activities in Berlin, which followed the first news of the outbreak has died down, according to direct dispatches from the cap!- tal, and the situation at mid-fore- oon was such that the police suards were withdrawn from the sovernment buildings. Authoritative information from Munich is scarce, direct telegraph communication having been sus-| pended, railway traffic stopped, and | an edict issued by War Minister | ssier forbidding publication of other than official reports regarding events in Bavaria, The French government, which yesterday gave official warning to Berlin that {t would not tolerate establishment of a nationalist mili- | tary dictatorship, is watching ds- velopments closely, and Premier Poincare this morning was in con- | ference with his war minister, while | the inter-allied council of ambassa- | dors, fepresenting all the allied | powers, has been summoned to meet at 5 o'clock this afternoon to con- sider tho situation. jt The revolt had a depressing effect on foreign exchanges in the New York market, new low records for the year being established by do- mand sterling, Spanish pesetas, Nor- wegian and Danish kronen and Dutch guilders. French and Bel- gian francs also declined sharply.
