PRESIDENT EBERT.
TECHNICALLY A TRAITOR.
GERMAN COURT'S FINDING
POLITICAL CAPITAL SOUGHT
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) BERLIN, December 25.
The Court at Madgeburg held the President, Herr Ebert, technically guilty of high treason for associating with the strike movement in January, 1918, even though he was seeking to control it.
Notice of appeal has been lodged
Nationalist and Republican papers are making political capital out of the verdict, demanding that Herr Ebert resign the Presidency. A significant sequel was that the Vice-Chanccllor, Herr Jarrcs, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Herr Stresemann, and six other members of the Cabinet, called on the President 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 threeparty system.
