GERMANY IS DIVIDED IBY NEW REVOLUTION BY CARL D. GROAT BERL} here today many is divided in allegiance to the new revolutionary govern ment established here Saturday, and the old republican govern. ment of President Ebert. The south German states, ac- cording to advices, have not ac cepted the new revolution. There was fear in many quar- ters that Germany is at the be ginning of grave civil war. Reports from Essen said serious disurbances have occurred there and | that 30 persons have been killed, | more than 80 wounded and hundreds clared that Dr. Von Kapp, director of | the revolutionary government, is/| ready to resign and will charge a coalition of parties to form a new revolutionary government. The general strike called by Presi- dent Ebert and Gustav Noske, his minister of war, before they left Ber- lin Saturday, was largely effective here today, Trains had stopped run- ning, the water supply was cut off in many districts, restaurants were closed and suffering beginning to be acute, particularly among the poorer classes, In some quarters there was a dis- position to believe the revolution might be short lived. The effective ness of the general strike was be- lived by many to show that Kapp has not the support of the majority of the people. Reports regarding the whet of President Ebert and Noske conflicting. There has been no |firmation of advices 1 , that they have been arrested. In some quarters it was said that Noske is raising a military force to” act against the revolution, The @e- cision of railway workers to join the — general strike movement came, it was said, after Von Kapp had refu to accede to the union's that he resign. There were other indications socialists of the Ebert group have abandoned hope of unseating revolutionists. Funetionartes of the union of social employes, it was Fe= ported, have refused to acknowledge Von Kapp, and have announced will act in concert with the railway _ workers, Secretaries of state, it was under- stood, have decided unanimously to remain in Berlin to expedite current. business, but have refused to have — any relations with the revolutionary government. Other reports said the governor of East Prussia has & manifesto recognizing the revolts _ tionary de facto government, Some South German regiments have gone over to the revolutionists, it was sald, Von Kapp has issued a stat 2 declaring | that the revolutionary: agreement will carry out the promise of the Ebert regime to try the war guilty accused by the allies, trials, Von Kapp said, will be held Leipsigy as the Ebert govern , had planned. age 70 KILLED; 20 ARE WOUNDED IN BATTLES BY HENRY WooD PARIS, March 15.—Dispatches today indicated that the reac- tionary coup, seizing the Berlin government, was threatening to throw Germany into bloody civil war, A Zurich dispatch here today said 50 persons have been killed in disorders at Kiel, and 20 killed and more than 200 wounded in fighting at Frankfort.
