...attempt to force a vote of confidence in the Reichstag, which he knew would not support him, Chancellor Stresemann was defeated by 155 to 230 votes. The Chancellor thereupon tendered his resignation with those of his Cabinet to President Ebert, who accepted them...
...able to make a satisfactory agreement with the German industrial magnates (Herren Stinnes, Thyssen, Klöcckner, Fickler, Rausch, Hubert) for control of factories and mines, and thus secure reparations to cover the cost of reconstruction in the devastated areas.

The Prince himself is no doubt anxious to settle down and farm his estate at Oels, since it is very much in his interest to do so; but, with reactionism in the ascendency, he is likely to have a hard time in maintaining a neutral attitude. Moreover, it was reported with some veracity that if the Prussian and Imperial Crowns were offered to him, he would be the last...
