As the Reichstag is approaching its limit of life it

might have been supposed that it would 1w dissolved, but President Ebert preferred to try to find a new Chan- cellor to carry on under the old condition,,. Ile applied to Dr. Albert, who was Minister of the Treasury in the Cuno Cabinet, but Dr. Albert was unable to find enough supporters. The Berlin correspondent of the Times says that the anger of the Nationalists runs very high, and that they are freely accusing President Ebert of treachery ; in the summoning of Dr. Albert they saw a manoeuvre for favouring the Socialists at their expense. Other attempts to form a Cabinet were made by Dr. Jarres, Herr Stegerwald and others, but they all broke down. When we go to press on Thursday there is some talk of the return of Dr. Stresemann and of a dissolution of the Reichstag after all.
