emerged word of renewed trouble at

demic of political turmoil.

outbreak, and Ambassador Francis is
presumed to advise Washington
promptly of any disturbance that
reaches such dimensions as to be at
all significant.

United States government is reserv-
ing formal expression of its attitude

Germans regarding armistice and
peace.
