During the past week Dictator von Kahr of Bavaria moved his office from the Infantry barracks, where he had been installed since the Ludendorff-Hitler putsch, to the Government Building.

General Erich von Ludendorff was reported about to be forgiven by the Bavarian Government for his part in the recently attempted monarchist putsch (TIME, Nov. 19). His "honorable conduct as a retired officer" and his " spotless" behavior in the putsch received mention...
