Dr. Wolfgang Kapp Has Reached the End of His Resources NORWICH, CONN. W MARCH 17, 1920 " 12 PAGES—88 COLS. and is Ready to Give Way to the Ebert Government— General Strike Throughout Germany Causes Thousands to Feel the Pinch of Hunger—About Sixty Persons Were Killed in the Fighting in Berlin Monday, and There Were Further Collisions Yesterday. : Berlin, March 16.—(By The A. P.)— Kapp government at Berlin found the support it had look- and while its hold on the ad- ministrative activities is growing Weaker, the strength of President Ebert and his supporters, including the members of the National Assembly at-Stutigart, has increased materially, it all reports are to be believed, so that his return to Berlin at a early date is confidently predicted in some quarters. That Dr. Woltgang Kapp has ver- tually reached the end of his resourc- o8, 8o far as concerns himself as head of the revolutionary movement, is evi- denced by the fact that he is said to have been ready to retire since Satur- day. but was persuaded by Colonel Bauer. leader of the Royalist Party, and Major General Ludendorff to re- main. _General Groener, the Prussian war minister, the Frankfurter Zeitung as- serts, has telegraphed to Field Mar- shal Von Hindenburg that in his opinion the Kapp-Von Luettwitz gov- erament is an impossible one, wheth- er trom the viewpoint of home affaes or foreign affairs. Groener is quoted s saying that Von Hindenburg is the idol of the German people, and a word from him would suffice to bring back the regular troops to a constitutional basis. General Greaer is also credited with having scut a message to Presi- dent Ebert offering to act as mediator between him and Von Hindenburg with 4 view to restoring censtitution- alism. Von Hindenburg has. written to Dr. Kapp advising him to withdraw from Ais position, if Cologne despatches are to & believed, and has advised Presi- dent to call for new elections. Thus far. however, what the con- stitutional president intends to do is net known in Berlin. But the future Action of the national assembly will probably decide his _attitude. Those who optimistically believe Ebert might sater into negotiations with the Ber- in government are disappointed to learn today that no definite negotia- tions are under way, though the basis of agreement ak outlined yesterday by the Kapp faction seemed to afford an opporiunity for the two. contending governments to enter into a discus- sion. President Ebert's firm grip on ad- milnistrative affairs in Berlin is indi- cAled by the fact that the imperial fi- Dagee minister, by his orders, has re- fuged to turn over the money neces- T S vAtious ministries. asc well as other sificlals. have absolutely refused o iheir orders from the Kapp gov- z-»«.

After the practice is at an end, the eombined fleet will visit the princi- pal Pacific coast ports of the United States to as to give the people there an opportinity to see the nation’s full naval fighting forces.

PATRICK’S DAY PROCLAMATION New York, March 16.—Eamonn De Valera, “president of the Irish Re- public” tonight issued a “St. Patrick’s Day proclamation to the sons and daughtars of the Gael,” urging them “to show the world the right of moral beauty and to teach mankind peace and happiness in keeping the law of love.” “Never before have the scattered children of Erin had such an oppor- tunity for noble service,” the proc- lamation read. “Today you can serve not only Ireland but the world. A cruel war and a more cruel peace have shattered the generous soul. Apathy mocks the high-minded, and heartless cynicism points the way of selfish- ness. “We who have had the cup of the fruition of hope dashed from our lips in every decade have not despaired: whose temper has never soured, but Wwho haye always looked forward to the good in tomorrow—the world | needs ‘What we can give it today. “We ~re the spear points of the hosts @ political slavery—we can be the shaits of dawn for the despairing and the wretched everywhere. “The world looks to the Irish in America to help it,” the proclamation declared, and adde “What would not the people of the old land give for the power which is yours!" “May God and St. Patrick |you to use it and use it well!” inspire LqNGBHOREMEN’!
