THE GERMAN REVOLUTION [ making any resistance. The DeoDle of I MTOrO iai 1a : 1
% A few days ago the whole world
? was startled by the news that the Ebert
Government of Germany had been ,
overthrown and a royalist regime established
at Berlin.
The revolutionary movement was
headed by Wolfgang Kapp, who immediately
upon entering Berlin, proclaimed
himself Chancellor and, in
order to get the support announced to
the people thut the new Government
was truly democratic, would increase
productiveness and conserve the
rights of the working people; however,
it was the general belief that the
movement was monarchistic and th^t
the claims of democratic purpose,
etc., were mere camouflage intended
. to keep the masses of the people
quiet until the monarchists secured a
strangle-hold on the German nation.
A remarkabe feature of the revolution
was the fact that it succeeded
in taking complete possession of Berlin
without firing a single shot.
The revolution was carefully prepared
at Doberitz, near Berlin, where
a number of divisions of the old imperial
army were stationed; and the
plans were quirkly executed. Word of
the plot reached the Ebert Government
only a few hours in advance of .
the actual revolutionary movement, '
and it was then too late to take effective
measures for its defense. Follow- .
ing an ultimatum demanding the immcdiate
resignation of the entire Ebert
Government the revolutionists
marched into Berlin and the old Government
forces withdrew without ^

Berlin seemed to look upon the matter
without serious concern, ar.d although
some paraded the stieets with
flags and banners, most of the people
continued without interruption the
pursuit of business or pleasure, patronizing
shops, theatres, etc , or performing
their business duties as usual,
apparently regarding the revolution
as of no more consequence than
in ordinary street parade.
For a day of two Government leadi>rs
in Allied countries were much
disturbed over the German situation,
particularly as to the effect upon treaty
enforcement. Soon, however, it be ame
apparent that the so-called revolution
was a mere flash in the pan instead
of a general conflagration. Eb*rt
and the leaders of the old demo:ratic
government refused to compromise
or negotiate with its leaders in
iny way; organized labor started to
ight it with strikes; and Hindenburg
ind other leaders of the old imperial
regime repudiated the move and advised
the leaders to submit to the Ebsrt
Government. As a result of all
.his, the revolution ended almost as
luddenly as it began, aside from the
Fact that several hundred people in
different parts of Germany were killid
in local disorders growing out of
he uprising, the whole matter is now
regarded throughout Germany and
die world at large as a huge farce.
Reports regarding Kapp, the leader
>f the movement, are conflicting. One
s to the effect that he has committed
luicide.

Constantinople has been occupied
1 by forces of the Allies which landed
at the Turkish capital under cover of
a powerful fleet. Only very slight
resistance was offered and the population
showed no signs of alarm or
panic. The people have been warned
against the commission of hostile
acts.
Holland is guarding the Ex-Kaiser
more rigidly than ever. The castle
which he occupies at Amerongen is
like a fort, being protected by walls,
moats and drawdridges and also by a
heavily armed force of Dutch military
guards which has recently been
reinforced on account of alarming
conditions in Germany.
Bolivia has been warned by the
American government not to attack
Peru. This warning was given because
of anti-Peruvian manifestations
at Papa, growing out of a long-standing
dispute betwen the two countries
regarding certain territory.
European Relief has at last been
approved, though the plan is tardy
and inadequate, by the House of Representatives
in passing the bill authorizing
the Grain Corporation to
sell "for cash or credit" 6,000,000
barrels of surplus flour to Poland,
Austria and Armenia.
France has just purchased the invention
rights in a gun which it is
said will throw a projectile 180 miles,
or about three times as far as the
"Big Bertha" which was used by the
Germans to bombard Paris. It is expected
that this new engine of de11
struction will revolutionize warfare.
It is claimed that this invention can
; be applied to the existing heavy guns
and also to rifles and machine guns in
such manner as to double or treble
their velocity and range.
Rusisan trade delegates are to be
admitted to England, according to a
statement made to the House of Commons
by Premier Lloyd George. The
delegates will, the Premier said, consist
of representatives of Russian cooperative
societies and will be forced
to confine their work to commercial
lines.

A Flat Tax Plan is favored by Sec- ^
retary of the Treasury Houston, as ^
a substitute for the present excess
profits taxes, in a letter to the chair- rman
of the House Ways and Means p
Committee. Mr. Houston also urges
that personal service corporations, w
now exen^it, be brought inside the slaw.
He estimates the loss in revenue ^
due to the Supreme Court stock dividend
decision at about $25,000,000 ^
per annum instead of $100,000,000, ^
as originally estimated. qj
The Navy Appropriation Bill carries
the record-breaking peace total
of $425,000,000 despite big reduc- st
tions in the estimate, the highest g,
peace-time navy appropriation for any ^
previous year being less than half that w
amount. Aside from Japan the other ?C
world powers have not authorized any w
new fighting ships since the armistice. ;n
The "23,000 new millionaires" who S<
made their fortunes out of the war le
may have to pay, in additional taxes,
the $2,000,000,000 needed by the di
Government for the proposed solders' fe
bonus, and also the $1,000,000,000 re- th
quired to clear up the floating Treas- ti
ury deficit. The plan, which is being Si
considered at Washington, involves ni
the levying of a special tax of per- m
haps 60 per cent, on the difference tii
between the wealth of profiteers be- St
fore and after the war. Representa- th
tive Rainey, of Illinois, is said to be I
one of the strongest advocates of this tit

CHIEF FRANK AUTRY
CATCHES CAR THIEF 1
Bring* Gun Into Play To Stop Young
North Carolinian With Stolen Ford
t Considerable excitement was caused
inChesterfield last Saturday morn-.
ing when Chief of Police Frank L.
Autry chased and fired several shots ,
in the general direction of a fleeing 1
automoble thief. '
L. N. Untz, a young white man of !
Concord, N. C., had stolen a Ford
?
1 touring car from a garage in that |
town on Friday night and had arous- \
ed suspicion in Mt. Croghan by try- <
, ing to sell it at a ridiculously low '
' price. No effort was made to de- '
tain him in Mt. Croghan, but as he ]
was headed toward Chesterfield word |
was phoned to Chief Autry to be on |
the lookout. Immediately on receiving
this word the chief called up the
garages in town and instructed them ,
to report the arrival of a stranorer in
a Ford. Charley White was polish- <
ing up a new car for a stranger at the ,
time and he made some excuse to (
walk up town, taking a piece of the j
vitals of the car with him to make |
sure that it would remain until his t
return. Informing Mr. Autry of the
visitor they went forthwith to the (
White Garage. The driver of the car |
caught sight of the police badge and ^
started to beat it down the C. & L. j
tracks. Chief Autry gave chase. The (
fugitive paid no attention to the of- j
ficer's commands to halt but accele- (
rated his speed. Mr. Autry fired sev- ]
eral shots over his head and he stop- }
ped and was arrested. He gave his x
name as L. N. Untz and said at first .
that he was from Spartanburg, but r
when crossexamined later by Mayor |
Trotti said his home was in Concord.
He was lodged in jail on suspicion.
Meantime word was received from
Concord announcing the theft of a #
Ford car, the numbers, license, etc., (
of which corresponded with those on -]
the machine Untz had driven ,
in. Also it was announced that a remard
of $25 had been offered for the
recovery of the car. Untz claimed that
he had bought the car from a Strang- c
er in Charlotte. f
Sunday Chief of Police Robinson
and H. W. Calloway, owner of the car 'came
from Concord and took Untz I
back to that place. Mr. Calloway iden- S
