REVOLUTION
NOW RAMPANT
(Continued from Page One)
arose from the ruins of the Honhen
zollern dynasty and which enabled the
entente allies to conclude piece with
Germany.
On November 10, 1918, when former
Emperor William abdicated and fled,
Ebert was the imperial chancellor,
having succeeded Prince Maximilian
of Baden, who was instumental in ne
gotiating the armistice. He at once
assumed command and succeeded in
quelling revolutionary outbreaks. The
red flag was hoisted over the Bran
denburg gate and the royal palace
after wild scenes in Berlin,’ where
the people shouted “Long live the re
public!” and sang the Marseillaise.
“The new government will be a
government of the people,” Chancel
lor Ebert said. “It must make every
effort 10 secure in the quickest pos
sible time peace for die German peo
ple and consolidate the liberty they
have won. The new government has
taken charge of the adminHr.Pation to
preserve the German people from oil n
war and famine and to accomplish
their legitimate claims to a itonomv.”
The Independent Socialists, includ
ing a radical element favorable to Bol
shevism and known as Spartacides.
complicated Ebert's problem. When
he became chancellor many of these
radicals including Karl Liebknechl
and Rosa Luxemburg, were freed from
prison, and the two mentioned were
subsecuently assassinated.
The national assembly which elected
Ebert was formed for the purpose oi
adopting a contsitution. Its documenl
which was approved last August 2
provided that “the executive powei
lies with the people.” The power o]
j the upper chamber of the reichstag
was limited similar to the Brltisl
house o:f lords. There was special pro
tection for labor, and “generally ac
cepted rules of international law'
were incorporated in the new inistru
ment. Ebert took the oath of office
on August 23, and two days later the
national assembly ceased to exist, f
being superseded by the new' reich
; slag.
1 • Philip Scheidemann vras the
j first premier of Germany under Ebert
I Gustave Noske, formerly minister o:
demobilization, and before that govern
or of Kiel, was named the first min
ister of army and navy. By reasor
of his drastic enforcement of new reg
ulations he became known as a “die
tator.”
Other members of the first Eber
cabinet follows:
Minister of the interior, Herr Preus;
minister of justice, Herr Sendsberg;
minister of commerce, Herr Muller;
minister of labor, Herr Bauer; min
ister of foreign affairs, Count vor
Brockdorff-Rantzau, former Germar
minister to Denmark; under foreigr
minister, Von Richthofen; minister o]
finance, Herr Schiffen; minister o1
postal and telepraphs, Herr Geisberg;
minister without portfolio. Dr. Ma
thias Erzberger, armistice commission
er, former state secretary and leader o
the Cetrist party; Eduard David, pres
idnet of the national assembly and
Herr Wissel.
The Ebert government underwent
many changes by reason of political,
economic and popular demands.
The first real crisis to threaten the
Ebert regime, however, arose over the
question of accepting the peace treaty
terms. Ebert, Scheidemann and other
leaders were opposed to yielding to
the entente demands. Scheidemann
resigned and a pro treaty cabinet in
cluding Dr. August Muller and ex-lab
or secretary Bauer, former Socialist
member of the reichstag, was organiz
ed. Bauer in a speech at Weimar
before the national assembly de
nounced the treaty in strong terms
but announced the government’s de
cision to sign.
For weeks before the revolution
broke out in Berlin there was a steady
fun on German banks. Ebert, then
chancellor, had a conference in Berlin
on November 25, 1918, with 70 dele
gates from various parts of Germany,
and said: “Everything was in ruin
when we took charge. Now, how
ever, a Socialist republic has replaced
the monarchy, and power has been put
in the hands of the workmen and sol
diers.” The first aim to be achieved,
he said, was peace and the security
of an economic basis. Liberty, he
maintained, was worthless without
food and employment and it was as a
national assembly met last spring to
devise a constitutional form of gov
ernment.
Meanwhile the provisional govern
ment had been in an almost constant
state of flux. Ministers came and
went. Owing to scarcity of food, cloth
ing and fuel, conditions in many parts
1
of Germany were reported desperate
and there were many rumors that
Soviet government would supercede
the Ebert regime.
President Ebert had the backing of
the Moderates of Germany almost
from the beginning. One reason for
this was that when he succeeded
Prince,Maximilian he announced that
property rights would be respected,
that no banks would be seized and
that the government would up-hold
the German war losses and pay all
claims on the state.
The President in a New Year mani-j
festo said that 1920 would decide
whether Germany would maintain her
self as a nation. A week later he was
threatened by a mob in Stuttgart.
On the preceding December 12 the
Ebert cabinet’s fall was reported as
likely as a result of the allied de
mands over the Scapa Flow sinkings, j
