LONDON CRISIS THREATENS TO PUT EBERT OUT Interparty Meeting Planned to Save Government From Fall. . ‘DESTRUCTION’ IS FEAR BERLIN. March 3.—Tb* life of the German cabinet vai hanging by a slender thread today as a result of the in- , demnity developments at London. "It la impossible at present to say whether Foreign Secretary Simons and the rest of the ministry will resign until the outcome of the indemnity conference is settled, but lain calling an interparty meeting for either this afternoon k or tomorrow, for the purpose of taking steps to include both Socialists and Nationalists in anew coalition government,” r declared former Vice Chancellor Eugene G. Schiffer, chairman of the interparty committee of the Reichstag. Dr. Schiffer said plans were under way to "give the government united support In the present crisis.” Dr. Schiffer is one of the “strong paen behind the scenes.” It was he who piloted Germany to a victory on the extradition question and he was the only minister who remained In Berlin and kept bis post during the Kapp uprising. He has credit for saving the Ebert government during the crisis of March, 1020. THINKS FRENCH NOT BIIFIIX'G. "The French threats of an Invasion of Germany are most serious," continued the minister. "X am convinced that the French are not bluffing. The supreme question now is whether England will subscribe to the French plans for destroying Germany. But there is a way open so long as the Indemnity conference continues under way. It is small consolation, but If the French march Into Germany our destruction means the destruction of the rest of Europe along With ns. “Representatives of Holland, Denmark, Switzerland and Sweden have shown me data proving that the economic situation in these countries is serious. French invasion of Germany will mean the ruination of these nations which are dependent upon Germany for their trade. “Unemployment will break down the resistance of those workmen who are not now infected with Bolshevism. I will hold the political parties in line as ltng as I can against the threat of a renewed reign of starvation. “President-elect Harding holds the key to the situation In his hands. He could save Europe by a turn or nls hand.” BEDS SEE ADVANTAGE. The Communist newspaper Fretheit urges that the present crtsls be utilized for the introduction of Bolshevism into Germany. The newspaper compared the present situation with that existing in "'T9I4, adding: "The only difference Is that the proletariat will not now refrain from civil ■war, but will use all its power for the benefit of its class. The world crisis means the Imminent renewal of war conditions.” The headlines of th Lokal Anzeiger were typical of Berlin's attitude: “Tension and expectation. A test of nerves.” The Vossisehe Zeitung, in commenting on the situation, said: “We are face to face with our destiny. It 1* a false policy for Germany to succumb to fatalism. So long as the doors of the conference remain unclosed we must do our utmost to prevent the worst.” Pennsy to Restore Annujled Trains Speota.l to The Times. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., March 3.

He denied th* German contention that he desires oppression of Germany, adding: “On the contrary, I regard a free, contented and prosperous Germany as asseutial to civilization. We were prepared to make every allowance to you, but these counter-proposals are an' offense and an exasperation and I deplore that they were ever made. The proposals show and make It evident that Germany desires not to discharge, but to evade her liabilities.” The Britißh premier charged that the German government was insufficiently

taxing tha German people. Then he recounted all the German infractions of tha treaty, including even the clandestine military organizations formed in Germany. "In view of the Germans’ disregard of the Paris decision the allies have decided the extension of time in which the Germans must pay from thirty to forty years will not now operate,” a French communique said. Dr. Simons, in Ms reply to Lloyd George, said: “The British premier mistakes and misunderstands the intention of the German government. I believe there will be no necessity for such action as is contemplated by the allies.” GERMANS SEEM TO BE WEAKENING. That the Germans, alarmed by the threat of immediate military, naval and economic measures to compel obedience to the Paris indemnity decisions, were ready to "back down,” was indicated when the Indemnity conference convened at St. James Palace for the transmis-
sion of the allies’ answer to the German counter-proposals. “We liave not yet said our last word,” the German delegation announced before the session opened. Asked if they had received new Instructions from the Berlin government, the Germans said they were "unable to predict the German course until they had heard Premier Lloyd George’s speech." They professed confidence, however, that the Indemnity negotiations would continue. The occupation of German cities contemplated, military experts said, could be accomplished without additions to the armies of occupation. The action would definitely cut the rich Ruhr valley from the rest of Germany. Minister of War Barthou of France left early today for Paris to assume personal charge of the department. Harding Inaugural address will be watched for an indication of the forthcoming policy of the United States on allied indebtedness. It has a most important bearing on the conference, as
well as on the whole European financial situation- " There Is no room for more talk.” was the keynote of editorial comment In the Chronicle, Dally Mall, Times, Telegraph and Graphic. The Dally Herald, organ of the Labor party, expressed the opinion the Germans would table the counter proposals they introduced at the opening of the session on Tuesday, adding: “But the temper of the Germans has been revealed.” The Daily Herald said Premier Lloyd George has been waiting to hear what President-elect Harding had to say on International affairs. The British premier, according to the Dally Herald, has been standing out for amicable nego-

The attempts of tha French to coerce him had the effect of throwing him into the opposite camp, “with the result that the situation may prove easier today than it was forty-eight hours ago.” The doors are open for further negotiations, concluded the Daily Herald.
