HERR EBERT'S TREASON.
A TECHNICAL BREACH. ECHO Or THE WAR. BERLIN, December 26. The Court- at Magdeburg held the President (Herr Ebert) technically guilty of high treason for associating with the strike movement in January? 1918, even though, he were seeking to control it. Notice of appeal has been lodged. Nationalist and anti-Republican papers are making political capital out of the verdict, demanding that Herr Efoert resign the Presidency. A significant sequel was that the viceChancellor (Herr Jarres), the Minister of Foreign Affairs <Herr Stresemann), and six other members of the Cabinet called on the Preeident and handed him a resolution expressing complete confidence in him. Herr Stresemann's newspaper announces that he declines to join a Cabinet based on the present three-party system.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
The accusation levelled against Herr Ebert, which the Court held to be partially justifiable, was that the former helped to prolong the munition workers' strike in 1018, and publicly urged the workers not to respond to the military order to join the army.
