THE GERMAN TURMOIL..

London, March 17.

TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1920.

A telegram from Copenhagen (March 18) states that the cruiser Eckernfonde, dying Kapp'a colours, bombarded fiel whit anti-Kapp demonstrators marched in procession in the streets. It is declared that 400 or 500 wore killed and many houses demolished. Furthermore marines stormed the shipyards and disarmed the workers.

Dominating the whole cable news at present from Berlin is the fact that the Kapp regime's censorship is being utilised to disseminate falsehoods. It is necessary therefore to re- emphasise the warning contained in the cable of 15th March. The first example was the junker Government's declaration that it was recognised by the Allies, secondly the detailed announcement of agreement when actually the constitution- alists refused to negotiate.

Reuter's correspondent at Berlin declares that the new regime is beginning to find its tenure inseCL; TE.

The re- volutionaries are mainly concerned with the prospect of obtaining an amnesty.

Diplomatic circles in London have definitely learned that Letta Vorbeek, the late commander. in East, Africa, Eas joine Kapp's regime and become Military Dictator of Mecklenburg, which is regarded as ominous. Also General Schmettow has thrown in his lot with them. Meanwhile uncensored messages brought to London by hand emphasise that the plot was undoubtedly engineered by military monarchists. aiming at the restoration of the throne.

Copenhagen, March 17...

A message from Berlin says that Herr Kapp in an official statement attributes his resignation to the fact that Herr Baver's Government has decided to carry out the Dost essential political demands as requested before the coup d'etat Herr Kapp has therefore resigned the executive power into the hands of the military, Commander-in-Chief.
