The French foreign office has in� formation that the leaders of the revolution in Germany un� questionably are monarchists, officials today said. The of� fice feels the situation in Ber� lin is most serious. * Marshal Foeh today called a special meeting of the su� preme council to consider the German revolution. Foch is head of the inter allied mili� tary council and as such pre� sumably has asked the council of premiers to reconvene to consider the situation created by the second German revolu� tion and any military meas� ures the allies may wish to dis� cuss. BULLETIN BASLE Dispatches from Berlin today reported that the monarchists had completely occupied the German capital. Dr. Kapp, the new chancellor, it was said, had issued a de� cree dissolving the constituent assembly, and announcing that new elections will be held as soon as conditions permit. Former President Ebert and his wife fled Berlin in an auto. The monarchists are control� ling all the public buildings, including the telegraph offices, the advices asserted. A proclamation signed by Kapp and General Luttwitz, stated: " The former government has ceased to exist. Entire authority has passed into the hands of Doctor Kapp from Koenigsberg. The new chan� cellor is forming a govern� ment of order, liberty and ac� tion." The Prussian diet has been dissolved.

GERMANY NOTICE TO STATE JOURNAL READERS I T is common knowledge that newspapers everywhere are facing * a crisis due to the increased cost of publication. Congress, federal committees, and experts are dealing with the situation as one of the grave national problems, but thus far without affording relief. La� bor, supplies, all kinds of service, and print paper have advanced so materially in cost that the very existence of thousands of publications is threatened and already hundreds have gone out of business. Since its present owners purchased The Wisconsin State Journal July I its cost of publication has increased in round numbers $25,000 per year. Of this increase approximately $15,000 is for print paper, owing both to the sharply advanced price, and to the increase rn the sile of the paper which we have made m order to give our readers the news more fully, and the many interesting features we have added. In order to escape bankruptcy newspapers which have survived have found it necessary to increase then: revenues, and for months past most of them have been selling at an advanced subscription rate. The Wisconsin State Journal has been reluctant to take this step, and lias given its readers the advantage of the old rates for months after a majority of papers advanced their rates. But w ith a new high record for print paper added to its mounting burden of cost, it is now compelled by inexorable circumstances to advance its subscription rates to a point which will apportion to its readers in the aggregate about one half the total increased expense due to the print paper item alone. Therefore, beginning Monday, March 22. the rates for The Wis� consin State Journal in the city of Madison, will be as follows: Per Week, by carrier (Seven papers) 15 cents Per copy, week d a y s ..............................................................3 cents Per copy, Sundays 5 cents Very respectfully. THE WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL I. U. Sears, Business Manager.
