H<. Peters and the Emmanuel Mission, are merg ing Into a single parish. Inviting him to accept the churg® iReiehstag Dissolved by Ebert Refusal of Democrats to Par tieipate in Ministry (Causes Chancellor to Seek New Elections. Dawes Report an Issue By AiMMiclatcd Prcw. Berlin, Oct. 20.—The reichstag was dissolved by President Ebert this eve ning. After fitful efforts to con struct a bourgeoise bloc which would definitely control a safe majority In the reichstag. Chancellor Marx ap pealed to President Ebert for a de cree of dissolution and writs for new elections. The refusal by the democrats o participate in a ministry which ex tended only in the direction of the nationalists proved a deciding factor In the chancellor’s ( decision to abandon his negotiations, especially as his own party also was in open revolt against any pact which would drive the socialists Into opposition. As was the case In the spring cam paign, the Dawes report again will be the outstanding Isbuo in the forth coming elections, n that the demo crats and clericals will demand the continuation of Germany’s foreign policies along the lines enunciated by the retiring cabinet which were wholly/ dictated and shaped by the issues revolving around Germany’s acceptance and fulfillment of the Dawes plan. In this both bour geoise parties have the active sup port of the socialists. Resent Double Dealing. Just what will he the slogan of Stresemann’s peoples party and the Hergt-Von Tlrpltz party cannot be foreshadowed. It Is plain from the progress of the interpartv nego tiations conducted by Chancellor Marx during the last six weeks that both democrats and clericals bitterly recent the double dealing with which they charge the leaders of the peo ples party and which Is said to con sist of a secret promise to liergt that the nationalists would be defi nitely received into the government and given leading cabinet posts as a reward for their partial support of the Dawes plan when It came up for final acceptance late in August The chancellor exhausted every ex pedient at his command In order to avoid new elections, but the confu sion thrown into the situation by Stresemann’s party through Its es pousal of the nationalists and its open affront to the socialists made further parleys impossible. The present situation does not re volve Itself Into a cabinet crisis and Is altogether the result of the exist ing party lineup in the reichstag, which precludes the formation of a workable majority government. Slight Alteration. The Marx-Stresema nil ministry will continue in office until the newly elected reichstag produces Its suc cessor. Just what the new- jwrty lineup will be is wholly a matter of conjecture. There are enough polit ical prophets at hand to predict that the new shuffle of mandates will yield only a slight alteration In the strength of the respective parties. The socialist*, who have been the most consistent clamorers for new elections, enter the campaign with every prospect of winning back the seats lost to the communists last spring. The clericals and democrats also are credited with good prospects for gains, while Ludendorff's fascist! party, which Is wholly of mushroom growth, Is hooked for heavy defec tions owing to the party's inshlllty to finance an active campaign and also through loss of prestige In Bavaria, which formerly was its stronghold.
