From the hour Of his arrival in

iron hand. At the outset he placed
the whole republic under German mar

followed by a request to Berlin from
the Ukrain;an Rada that he be re-
called, but he was retained in Ukrainia

Skoropadski, who has since been oper-

General Won Eichhorn.

Department has received confirmation
of the reported tension between Tur
key and Bulgaria, due to differences
arising from the Brest-Litovsk and
Bucharest peace treaties, and OF the
strained relations between Turkey and
the Teutonic powers caused by Tur-
keys unwillingness to accept the pro-
visions of the Brest-Litovsk treaty re-
lating to the Caucasus.
Under the Russo -Teutonic pact, Ger
many desires to retain an element Of
control over the route to the East
through the Black Sea regions, convert
the Black Sea itself into a German
lake, and SO consolidate her interests
as to make Turkey perpetually tribu-
tary to her.

From the description in the Muench-

veritable reign of terror" exists in
Germany, due to the governments fear
of strikes and revolution.
The "Post" says:
Tine military courts are creating a
reign of terror in Munich.
"The army authorities arc constant
ly haunted by the fear Of strikes in
munition and aeroplane works and
similar establishments.
"On the least provocation, or on no
provocation at all, the gendarme rie

structions given them, arrest men,

Berlin Most Criminal City
"Meanwhlle, real criminals can
rob and murder with impunity. Ac-
cording to the 'Zetung am Mittag,'
Berlin, which for long before the war
was notorlously the most immoral city
IN the world, is now the most criminal
city. It says:
Berlin no longer offers any secur-
ity to the public. Shops are looted,
burglars revolvers are fired at all
hours, thefts and robberes continue
increasingly and the widest pre-war
excesses of the Paris Apaches are
ecipsed.,
"The greatest sufferers through the
unhappy conditions are the women who
have to thread their way at night
through the unlighted streets"
Germans whom patriotism caused to
return to their own country from for
egn lands when the war began are so
disgusted with what they have seen
there that they have made up their
minds to go abroad again after the
war, according to the "Vossische Zeit-
ung," which says:
"The world war has, for the first
time since the foundation of the Ger
man Empire, collected in their home
land the whole Of the Germans from
foreign parts, in so far as they are
not languishing in internment camps
or prisons.
Fatherland Disillusions Them.
e'Their fatherland, to which, although
sojourning abroad, they have for dec
ades remained true and loyal, has
disillusioned them. Hence they are
determined after the war to return to
the scenes of their activities and to
adopt the nationality of their adopted
lands"
Germany is taking drastic measures
for the suppression of anti-war propa-
ganda. Twelve persons from the
