The entire nationalist press united today in a "drum fire attack" against Chancellor Gusavt Stresemann, whom they want displaced by a nationalist dictator.

He cannot do this, however, without President Ebert's explicit authority, under the new German constitution. The nationalist Deutsche Zeitung commented: "If the battle against Marxism (Socialism) is to continue, then the Marxist (Ebert), is at the head of the reich, must be forced to resign. President Ebert is the personification of the revolution of five years ago. 'All the principles and traditions of that revolution are breaking down. In the present chaos Ebert was disloyal in his conclusions and should go.' The police are making preparations to meet an uprising. There are about 50,000 federal troops in Saxony, part of whom can be swung against the Bavarian Paschetti along the Thurgauian border at a moment's notice. Any attempt by the Bavarians to march upon Berlin will be met with armed resistance. The main reason the federal government is not making a great flourish in defensive preparations is that those in charge of rechswirr preparations do not take Hitler menace seriously.

He said he had not seen Mrs. Stokes since 1910, but was sure of his identification. "Did Stokes ever show you a picture of his wife?" Untermyer asked. "Yes, he showed me one, and I said it looked like the woman on the Stillman yacht." "Well, was she the woman?" "I don't know." What year were you on the Stillman yacht? "In 1920 and 1921." And in 1920 you could not identify the woman on Stillman's yacht, and yet you identified Mrs. Stokes from 1910? "That's right," said Murphy. "Did Stokes send you to Denver to look at Mrs. Stokes?" Untermyer asked. No, Mrs. Stillman sent me out to see if she was the woman on the Modesty," Murphy replied. Murphy said he could not recognize Mrs. Stokes as the woman who was on the Stillman yacht but was positive she was on the McCormick boat. Martha Jones had testified for Mrs. Stokes, saying she had never seen Mrs. Stokes, except in the courtroom.

Steuer protested loudly, but Justice Mahoney ordered her from the room. The woman wore a large cross on a gold chain. She had been holding this in her hand, moving it in a circle, then up and down and sideways. The Jones woman then volunteered she, too, had seen Mrs. Stokes in Wallace's apartment.
