Tho teal program was introduc

James, Kucceediug George Harvey,
resigned.
Socialists in the federal cabinet
threatened to quit unless the
apology was mode.
The object of the Bavarian con
centration is unknown. It may be
connected with the persistent re
port that Bavaria is planning to
proclaim a new "federal govern
ment” disavowing Berlin and tak
ing over the leadership of the
l reich.
Bavaria's long and intentional
delay in answering Berlin's de
mands that "kidnaped” federal
troops be restored and the recent
declaration of Bavarian Dictator
von Kahr that he will not deal
with the present Berlin govern
ment give support to the rumor.
The mobilization on the Thurin-
gian border is concentrated at
Kronbsck, Coburg and Bamberg.
Armaments of the troops include
field guns and airplanes.
It is understood that Captain
Erhardt, famed in the Kapp
putsch, i* one of the leaders of the
force. He recently escaped from

Government reinforcements from
Pomerania are moving toward
Saxony, which adjoins Thuringia.
They were already en route when
