' "! The Kapp government, in a state- I Iment to tlie press, declared itself II "j neither reactionarv nor monarchis-M 1 tic. 1 The events that led up to these de- ' ![velopments were dramatic and rapid ; in sequence. ji "j Lnst evening it became known that i '.the government of President Ehert i and Minister of Defense Noske had i l|coine upon traces of a serious plot -1 to overthrow the republican regime.

Troops on March When (he news came that revoluionary forces from the big camp * r>nr.hp>rit'/ were on the march, of iters of rank belonging 10 the govirnment troops were sent to meet hem. ;is emissaries of the President, o order them to desist and return to heir quarters. The mutineers, who )elonged mainly to naval brigades ,vith some additions from Baltic troops ,vho have always been disaffected and jiulisciplined. met the government's representatives, of whom the chief ivas general Von Oldershausen and proposed some terms of an extreme character which were referred to t'it cabinet in Berlin. At the same moment a proclamation prepared in advance was issued promsin? the people freedom and order nul dissolving the national assembly leclaring that the assembly's mission which was to estal)lish a constitution and conclude peace, had been fulfilled The leaders of the late government, lave on their part, issued an appeal o the people, claiming their support irrainst the reactionaries and calling lpon inem to organize a general ?t rike. 31 overt fo Drc.ideii The late government leaders quit Berlin at an early hour and latei were reported at Dresden where tlu seat of the old government has been jstablished. The revolution has been bloodless rhe public at large was taken completely by surprise. Life in Berlin is proceeding today as usual. Prognostications regarding the future foi the movement seem idle. Yesterday the chief interest was financial, and commercial circles won absorbed in the sudden realzing ir [he value of the mark. -During the las! few days persons who had been hoard ing foreign money for speculative pur poses began unloading as fast as pos sible. "Whether this had anything te :lo with the turn in political events il is impossible to say. Attention is be ing called to the latest statement ol the reichbank, which shows a greai increase in the llood of paper money Knew Beforehand. The Ebert government had knowledge beforehand of the pending countsi* revolution, but the precautions taken proved to be entirely inadequate Dutside of the security police and the \*oske troops on patrol, nothing indicated at 3 o'clock this morning that Berlin would wake up to find the Ebert government turned out.

ENLISTS MAGNETISM |j TO END FOOD DECAY 1 From New York Times. . An invention to keen fresh indefin-' . itely fruits and vegetables, without ; !. the use of ice or chemicals, wasde-j 1 monstrated here yesterday by its in-' . ventor. Dr. Harry Barrjnger Cox,' ' whose work jn the invention of the, ! dry battery, the ground wireless and( ' many other contrivances is known1 throughout the country and Europe' ' * * I 5 Dr. Cox, who brought the apparatus 1 j here from California without remov-j _ j ing its contents, in order to test its' -j effjcacy for a moving train, asserted | - XU-X 1.1 nvA^rn fr\ i tnai nit; cuiicri vauv;c wuuiu pivtw ) 1 I j be one of the greatest factors in re-i - ducing the cost of living. f' 1 j. | Magnetism, or as Dr. Cox phrased it .: that still undeveloped force in the i earth which makes a compass needle . point north, is according to the jn-' i ventor, the force that is made use of | in the apparatus. Its vitalizing, or . preserving, powers he discovered by accident after thirty-five years of ; scientific research. His discovery, he j . asserted, opens up the field of earth j ' j magnetism so that it is likely to over- j .1 shadow electrjcty in importance. Dr. Cox displayed endorsements of j . the apparatus by many prominent per- ; - sons. The United States Department j f 'of Agriculture, the Caljfornia Fruit ! Growers' Association and Los An- ! , geles Chamber of Commerce, which ! 1 styled the contrivance as "the great- : | est discovery of the age," are among ; | the endorsers. He asserted that the jn- ; | venton would prevent waste amountI ing to $100,000,000 a vear.

This wire was attached to a 1 "vitalizer" at the bottom of each tin I box or "consavador." He explained | that the wire could be attached to a |' gas pipe, water pipe or any other me| tallic substance connected ultimately | with earth or water. | j The first cover he removed was one | marked: "Orange, 1917." The orange ||was not only firm and as cool as if it II had just been picked, but was covered |!wjth moisture. He then showed "last ; I year's new potatoes," then old potato- : 1' es, carrots and other vegetables.
