German Convocation Planned to Elect President of Republic
Berlin reports say the German government will convoke a conference of representatives from all states of the former empire on December 29 to elect a president of the German republic. The move aims to prevent fresh outbreaks amid instability. Vorwaerts warns of danger to the government and armistice if a competent government cannot be formed. Freiheit offers an alternate view attributing the soldiers’ congress invasion to counterrevolutionary acts by officers. Observers note ties between the soldiers’ demonstration and radical voices from Ledebour and Barth.
