AMAZING GERMAN MONARCHIST PLOT DISCLOSED.

FIGHTING IN WARSAW.

A German Monarchist plot, amazing in its ramifications, including, the temporary appointment of a Dictator, the "volun- tary "resignation of President Von Hindenburg, and the imposition" of the death penalty for every offence against the new regime, was brought to light in Berlin yesterday when police swoopod down on the private houses of the leaders of so-called Patriotic Associations, and scized incriminatory documents."

Plans had been prepared for an attack on the capital, and the property of dissolved political parties, and, of all" Jews, was to have been confiscated:

Implicated in the plot are Dr. Naumann, Burgomaster of Leubeck; Herr Hugenburg, Gormany's Newspapor King, and General Von Moohl.

Co-incident with this news is the story of, a serious upheaval in Poland, whore troops have, ravolted and in an attack on the capital, Warsaw, have succeeded in capturing the castle, the Prime Minister's residence, and the Foreign Office.
