London, Nov. 24.—President Ebert has Invited Herr Von Kardorff, a member of the German people's party in the reichstag to form a new Ger man cabinet, says a news agency dis patch from Berlin this afternoon. It is anticipated that he will accept, the message states. By International News Service. Berlin, Nov. 24.—President Ebert to day was seeking Germany's “strong est man” to form a new cabinet to succeed the Stresemann government, which resigned last night when a mo tion expressing the reichstag's confi dence in the ministry was rejected by 230 to 145 votes. It was regarded likely that the new chancellor would try to form a new coaltion. There was some talk that the post of chancellor might be again offered to Gustav Stresemann, but the name heard most often was that of Heinrich Albert, minister of reconstruction in the Cuno government. By Associated Press. London, Nov. 24.—The downfall of the 3tresemann government is viewed here as an event of the utmost sig nificance, possibly Involving develop ments destined to have a deep and lasting effect on all Europe. The fact that some of the morning newspapers oust the British election campaign from first place to display their Ber lin dispatches on the reichstag's re jection of the chancellor and the situ ation in Germany generally, Indicates that the crisis is regarded ai serious. Berlin dispatches to the London newspapers agree that It la impossible lo foresee what administration Is to follow, but some of the correspondents stress the growth of militarist nation alism and hint at sensational develop ments from that growth. Dr. Strese mann In his talk with the news papermen, commented on the German parliamentary system and said the next government would be faced with the serious task of determining its foreign policy. He also referred with considerable feeling to the recent al lied note concerning the former crown prince, the tone of which, he said, brought a flush of shame to tho cheek of every German. It was such notes, he added, that destroyed democracy in Germany and created nationalism. Dr. Stresemann again defended Frederick William, whom he described as a man with a strong sense of political responsibility and great ca pacity. Next Week Cold.
