The names associated with the new revolutionary movement in Germany Indicate its reactionary character. It appears that Germany is in the throes of the frequently predicted counter revolutionary monarchist struggle. Dr. von Kapp. reported as havins assumed the chancellorship, is a ior mer conservative member of the Jteichstasr and Reneral director of the German agricultural society. He was one of the deputies who early in 1918 urged the government to speed up U-boat building. He became presi dent of the fatherland party, the no torious I "an - German organization which urged that Germany carry on the war to the bitter end. After the abdication of Emperor William and the signing of the armistice. Dr.,Jiapp was one of the men for whose arrest the independent socialists clamored on the ground that lie and his associ ates had been responsible for the con tinuation of the war and the hinder- - lng of peace. Prussian Head Military. Major-General Baron von Luettwitz, who, according to the dispatches, has been named commander-in-chief, was military governor of Belgium in the early days of the war. He later was a commander on the Verdun front. When the German treaty came up for action by the povernment last June, he was one of the leaders of the mili tary party prominent in opposition to the peace terms. He has an American wife, who was a Miss Caiy of Cleve land. He always has been classed as thoroughly Prussian. Before the war General von Luett witx held the posts of military at tache of the German embassy at Lon don and later at Petrograd. He was born April 9, 1865. His father. Max Freiherr von Luettwitz. died in 1887. His mother, lrma von Qual-Gyula, is till living. The new commander-in-chiefs mar riage to Miss Cary took place July 3 4. 1S92. She was born January 6, 1869. The couple have two children lrma and Gustav. Monarchies Bide Time. There has been a strongly held be lief that the Pan-German monarchist party was merely biding its time and awaiting an opportune moment to seize control of affairs. This belief caused the allies worriment when they considered the nearness of for mer Emperor William's retreat at Amerongen to the German border and prompted their strong representations to Holland of the danger to the peace of Germany and the rest of Europe of his presence there. In response to this the Dutch government promised to keep a close guard over the ex ruler. Former Crown Prince Fred erick William also is a refugee in Holland, but his retreat at Wieringen is further removed from the German border. The fart that the development is apparently of a monarchists nature will cause attention to be paid to any news, from Holland regarding the former royal personages. Indications have come from Berlin that the re actionary movement was possibly precipitated by the fact that a Ho henzollem prince, Joachim Albrecht, was about to be tried and possibly imprisoned in connection with the recent demonstration against French officers at the Hotel Adlon. Government Forewarned. Dispatches from Berlin yesterday telling of the discovery of a reac tionary plot would indicate that the government had explicit foreknowl edge of the attempt and this fact makes explanation of the reported easy success of the anti-government forces in entering Berlin difficult. It may be noted that the names of the two men most prominent in military affairs under the old regime. Field Marshal Von Hindenburg and General Ludendorff, so far have not been men tioned in connection with the new de velopment. The field marshal indeed had only recently announced his will ingness to become a candidate for the German presidency, while Berlin dis patches in January also credited Gen eral Ludendorff with the intention of becoming an active participant in the next German political campaign. If there has been an effective over turn of the present government in Germany, the effect upon the relations between Germany and the allies and .the carrying out of the terms of the treaty of Versailles can hardly be es timated. Germany Held Impotent. With a militarist regime in control in Germany there seems little doubt that the outside pressure for the strict execution of the stipulations of the peace pact would be markedly in creased, particularly from such na tions as France and Belgium. It has been generally conceded, however, that the military requirements of the treaty which have been already put into effect have rendered Germany militarily impotent ror a long time to come, at least so far as any aggres sion on her part might be concerned. This, however, is perhaps not truo of the French army leaders, among whom Marshal Foch in particular has been insistent in pressing for greater military protection1 against Germany for France than was provided for by the peace pact signed last June. jfamily and has not taken any part in iriininoMttcs - General Arthur von Luettwitz, ac cording to Mr. Cary, has not evinced opposition to the peace terms. Bu according to information In letters from his sister, a cousin. Walter vo Luettwitz, has been active in th Xoske government in Berlin, and has been active in his opposition, in con nection with the military party, to th peace terms. A letter arrived only today to Mr. Cary by his sister, Frau von Luett wits, who was before her marriage in 1892 Miss Mary Curtis Cary of Cleve land. "In this letter, which was dated February 19," Mr. Cary said today, "my sister wrote of entertaining; New York friends in Baden-Baden, which convinces me that my sister's hus band has remained in retirement. "I do not believe he can have re entered politics, especially at thl time, because my sister would not wish him to do so. I know from word from them that they realize how short-lived a present-day German government may be and consequently how dangerous it may be to the In terests and even to the life of the Individual to become connected with any temporary government. "I am thoroughly satisfied my brother-in-law has not the siightes desire to mix In any of the present political fraya in Germany." The marriage of the former Miss Cary to Arthur von Luettwitz, who was in 1892 a young German royalist, created one of the sensations of the day in Cleveland. They were in stantly attracted to each other, and their engagement was announced be fore Miss Cary returned to Cleveland at the end of the summer. The out come was followed by a stir among Cleveland friends. It remained for Von Loettwitz, who came to America in the winter of 1SS1-2. to win the hearts of social Cleveland. Those who had expressed their regret at the match instantly changed their opinion when they be came acquainted with the brilliant and attractive young noble. Cleveland will Ions; remember the way in which Von Luettwitz won the hearts of everyone he met here, as well as the wedding that was cele brated in the old Second Presbyterian church, which stood at Euclid avenue and East Fourteenth street. VOX KAPP BORS IX THE V. S Xew Chancellor "Ruthless" Advo cate During War. NEW YORK. March 13. (Special.) Dr. Wolfgang von Kapp, the new German chancellor, was born in New York, June 24. 1S58. His father had come here at the time of the revolu tion of 1848. Dr. von Kapp is president of the fatherland party and during the war he was an ardent advocate of the "ruthless" movement and vas con stantly urging the construction of more U-boats. To the U-boats he gave credit for the fact that Japan did not send a great army to Europe. He had so sharp a quarrel with ex- Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg that there was talk of a duet In that affair his agent said that Dr. von Kapp would "seek satisfaction at the moment when the chancellor Is no longer under the protection of the war, his position and the muzzled press." Dr. von Kapp was a former con servative member of the, reichstag and general director of the German agricultural society. The German fatherland party, of which heMs head, urged that Germany carry on the war to the bitter end. After the abdica tion of Emperor William and the signing of the armistice Dr. yon Kapp was one of the men for whose arrest the independent socialists clamored on the ground that he and his associ ates had been responsible for the con tinuation of the war and the hinder ing of peace. Major-General Baron von Luettwitz. who has been named coimnander-in-chief, was military governor of Bel gium for a period in the early days of the war. He later was a com mander on the Verdun front. When the German treaty came up for action by the government last June Gen eral von Luettwitz was one of the leaders of the military party promi nent in opposition to the peace terms. KKflF ALLIES K1USP0SIT1 Officials Reported in Danger! of Molestation. CIVIL WAR IS EXPECTED Attitude of Aloofness and Detach ment Toward Revolt in .Ger many is Expected. PARIS March IS. (Havas.) The allied missions in Germany have heen put in a serious position by the over throw of the Ebert government, and are in danger of molestation, accord ing to a dispatch from Saarbrucken to the Temps. It is expected, the dis patch adds, that civil war will break out in Germany. The opinion expressed in official circles at the moment Is that the al lied governments will take an atti tude of aloofness and detachment toward the civil strife in Germany and permit the German people them selves to determine the form of their government. Disorders Held Unfortunate. The armed disorders in Germany are looked upon as most unfortunate both for the country and the remain der of Europe at the time when re construction had been begun. The news of the new development in Berlin was received by a consid erable part of the official and diplomatic world at the Hotel Con tinental, where the foreign corre spondents were giving a luncheon to President Dcschanel. The ambassa' dors of the United States, England, Italy,. Japan, Spain and Belgium and numerous foreign office officials were present. The news reached the com pany just as it was being: seated. Reports Received at Lnncbeon. It was whispered to President Descbanel and spread along the tables on either side of him and. became at once the dominating subject of the conversation. Telephone messages were received from time to time during the lunch- on repeating the telegraphic reports f the happenings fo the German capital. President Descnanel in nis speecn did not refer to the events in Ger many. The greatest evil which could nap- pen to JSurope and the worw, ne said "would be for the allies to allow the ties that enabled them to become victors to be loosened." S.

While shipping board officials would not concede that there had been any negotiations with the Hamburg-American line, it was understood that the company was disposed to en ter into a co-operative contract with American steamship lines. Details of the contract remain to be worked out, as the board, it was explained, was not prepared to- make any further move in the direction of this develop ment of American commerce without the approval of the senate committee, because a technical state of war ex isted between the United States and Germany.
