Hence at present the key to the situation is the Jellicoe's work. answer to the question; who is stage maraging? There is a growing inclina tion to suggest Ludendorff or Helfferich for this, although the Telegraph's correspondent, whose remarkable predictions were cabled on March 13, names Kuehlmann as the real secret diplomatic leader, backed up by Bernstorff and supported by a considerable proportion of banking and colonal magnates. He says one of the early moves, if the new regime stabilises will be a request for a fresh peace, on lines advocated by the revisionists, to be arranged in Rome or London Meanwhile the German Army will decline to be disarmed. This correspondent calls fresh attention to the fact that the conspirators recently in Berlin holding conference with army chiefs include Enver and Talaat Pashas, Count Andrassy, the most German, ophile Magyar, the ex-tsar Ferdinand's agents and representatives of ex-king Constantine, also Russian Taarist and Octobrist leaders.

The railwaymen in Frussia threaten to strike if Kapp and von Jagow remain the Government. vasa
Ebert, interviewed at Dresden, stated that the new Berlin government had proposed an -agreera ent for the reconstruction of the government but the old government refused, declaring that the new govern ment had only temporarily seized power, and was unsupported except by a few partisaus.
The situation at Munich is obscure, but it appears that the Socialist government has resigned and a non-Socialist cabinet is being formed. The Socialists have declared a general strike.
