CRISIS IN GERMANY.
CRISIS IN GERMANY. Cabinet Resigns. COUNTRY TOO WEAK TO REJECT TERMS. A Reuter's Amsterdam message on Friday from Weimar says:— The German Government has resign ed.-Pre-,s Association. COPENHAGEN. Friday. The Press Association representative says:— • A Weimar telegram states the Cabinet has resigned, but will carry on provisionally until the Imperial President has formed a new Cabi- net. GENERALISSIMO CONSULTED I « The Zurich correspondent of the "Petit Parisien learns from Weimar that General Groner, th( German Generalissimo, at the ur- gent summons of the Government, arrived yesterday in order to be present at the Cabinet's discussion, and to give the Ministers his advice regarding the military situation. Exchange. I I THE WORLD WAITING (From the Press Association's Special Correspondent). COLOGNE, June 18th (Received Friday). Outside, at the moment, it looks and feels as though a thunder-storm were breaking, which is perhaps typical of the moment throughout all Germany. Mutter- ings- of the coming storm are heard from many Widely separated places. Even at Weimar, peaceful Weimar, which they had tried their hardest to preserve from any sign of excitement or unrest, there have been symptoms, and more than symptoms. When we Wad of fighting in the streets of the present seat of the National As- sembly, of prisoners being released, and an all but successful attempt to seize the citadel, one wonders whether the present ,Government will indeed, last long enough to accept or refuse the terms that Brock- dorff-Rantzau carried to them in his special train yesterday; and knowing what we do about the nature of the ani- mal we are possibly also inclined to wonder how much of this insurrection in the peaceful streets of Weimar was gen- nine and how much a matter of arrange- ment-a scene staged for the benefit of the Allied Press Und the politicians at yerMillea. > A SEASON OF RUMOUR. I It has been of late a season of rui-iiour, I especially in Berlin, where the strike in the printing trade has prevented the pub- licu'don of the daily papers. A popular tion in these stirring times, deprived of its '¡ PrfAs, is indeed in a parlous state. It is i not surprising if men met together at every street corner and retailed wonder- ful stories of terrible things that were going to happen, or that had already hap- pened, in distant places. Fortunately, however, the printers and their employers did at last come to an arrangement yester- day, and Berlin by now is probably re- ceiving its daily literary nourishment once more. THE OCCUPtED ZONE. I Tn the neighbourhood of the occupied gone itself it was to be expected that the people should feel a trifle anxious during this period of waiting. They know what Belgium and Northern France looked like after they had marched through them and they knew that the Allies are now only waiting for the word of command to ad- vance through their own towns and vil- lages. Dusseldorf is more excited at the prospect than most of the other tfwns. for Dusseldorf lies in the Belgian path, and lis, no doubt, firmly persuaded by this time that the Belgians are only waiting lotr an opportunity of paying them back in kind for Louvain and MalineB. STEPS TO SOOTHE FEARS. I percieve that the military authorities of the German Governmental troops in Dusseldorf have jissued a proclamation in. tended to soothe the fears of the anxious inhabitants. They point out that there can be no question of a military occupa- tion in the real (by which possibly they mean the German) sense of the word, but that should such an event unfortunately take place it would cause, in the. interest of the occupier, to leave everything as it stands. No doubt the German Staff is quite cor- rect, but it is perhaps doubtful whether the population will find the wording of heir proclamation particularly comfort- ing • i FOCH'S ARMY^WAtTlftiQ. 750,000 Men Ready to March. The Allies* naval and military prepara- tions for the renewal of war if Germany refuses to sign the peace terms by 7 p.m. on Monday will be completed to-day. On the military side Foch has 750,000 ipieli ready to march from the Rhine at dawn on Tuesday. The armies are al- ready moving from billets to the areas of concentration. The Americans will move on a front of 37 milel in the direction of Cassel, 110, miles from the Rhine. TOO WEAKTO RESIST (From the Press Association's Special Correspondent). BERLIN, June 19th (received Friday). A telegram from Weimar saye the great tnajority of people in responsible circles take the standpoint thalt the moral power of resistance in the German people is not now strong enougrc f to justify a refusal to s iqrn. It is considered that if it is decided sign, He rren Schcrdemann, Gilberts, mdsburg, Deroburg, Gothedn and • unt Brockdorff Rantzau will resign. In conferences L-etween the Government nnd Ministers of Federal States, South German Governments are stated to have been especially in-farour of signing. NOT "UNACCEPTABLE." The Social Democratic Party of th-? Prussian National Assembly discussed the peace question to-day. Although no f urinal decisions were arrived at. it is reported that 75 per cnt. of the members were of the opinion tha/ the signing of the terms could not be avoided. Vorwaerts" eharply criticises the semi-official communication which stated that the Government has not changed i>s attitude, and that it considered the terms as not capable of being fulfilled, and ae unbearable. The Cabinet," says Vorwaerts, has not uttered the word unacceptable.' I The paper explains thalt the firm ■" No uttered by the parties of the Government, bloc in May was meant to strengthen the l hands of the German negotiators at Ver- aaill, and was right, even th"gh the parties were convinced that signing the I terms could not eventually be avoided.
