Wolfgang Kapp, . tbe self-appointed
chancellor and. dictator, has r ?tired
from office and ebetroL He resigned
and an official communication explain
ed that ths chancellor considered his
mission fulfilled when the old govern
ment decided to meet the most essen
tial demands addressed to it. He was
also moved to this action by the ex
treme necessity of the fathortand,
which demanded onion against ths
dangers of botoherlsm.
The real circumstances of Kapp's
retirement are, still shrouded in mys
tery. An important factor undoubted
ly is to be found in the deliberations
of the under secretaries and imperial
council which Major General Laett
wits attended. Ths views of this obc
ference were that both Kapp and Yon
Lnettwitz withdraw in order to temi
nate an intolerable position,.

PRESIDENT ONLY HAS RI8HT
?To Congress is Delegated Power to De

Agreement for Peace Making. .
Augusta, Qa. ? In an interview here
Senator Hitchcock says:
"There irf a disposition among cer
tain seniors to attempt to terminate
the war with the adoption by the sen
ate and the house of a concurrent
resolution, declaring that- a state of
peace . exists, this resolution to be
signed by the- president, but I am of
the opinion that this cannot be done
because in the framing of the. consti
tution of the United States, the war
making function was delegated! to con
gress, but the right to terminate war
by the negotiation of a peace treaty
was vested in the chief executive.
"My opinion Is that the framers of
the constitution acted wisely in that
respect, for, while the declaration ol
war requires action by -but one part to
the conflict, there must be negotia
tion and agreement between both par
ties ?hen peace is effectuated. ..
