PARIS, Oct 13.-Charges that the
! German government has delayed delib-
erately the withdrawal of General Won
Der Goltz's forces from the Baltic re-
gioq, are contained IN the most recent
note to Berlin from the allied and asso-
ciated powers.
The note, made public here today.
declared that until Germany under
takes the evacuation and "pursues 1t
with all desirable CELEBRITY" the allies
will maintain the coercive measures
announced in their note of September
27, VIXEN renewal of the blockade was
threatened.
The allies point out that the situa.
tion in the Baltic suddenly has be-
come more critical and declare that
Germany will be held fully RESPONSE
bic in executing the order for evacua-
tion.
An allied commission will be ap-
pointed to superintend the with
drawal, the Germans are told, and the
measures provided for in the ultima
tum will not be cancelled until that
Commission informs the supreme COM
ell that the evacuation is progressing
normally.
The allies inquire why Won Der
Goltz has not yet been punished if it
is true, as the Germans assert, that he
is guilty OF insubordination.
1T is difficult not to believe" says
the allied note, "that thex delay Tin
evacuation has been calculated to
lead to the very results which the
German government now affect to
deplore. 1t seems indeed impossible
to explain the refusal to recall Won
Der Goltz, who has been their (the
Germany official instrument in Great
ing he present situation in open de-
fiance Of the allied and associated
powers
The allied note asks why Won Der
Goltz, after being summoned to Ber-
lin only recently, "was sent back delib-
except to complete the organization
which now affords the German govern
ment the pretext that the troops
hitherto paid, clothed and transported
by them have passed out of their con-
troll"
The allies assert that unless Ger
many offers more satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION, the allies cannot accept the
contention that Germany has tried
continually to withdraw her troops
from the Baltic.
According to recent information" 1t
is stated, "the situation suddenly has
become more grave on account of the
offensive taken by the Germans
October s. Other troops have violated
the Courland and Lettish neutral zone
and have bombarded Lettish positions
by armored trains, airplanes and pei
son gas shells. They have threatened
Riga and brought about the formation
in Courland of German-Russian gov
ernment opposed to the local govern
ment already established"
The note concludes with the asser-
ton that Germany will be held respon-
sible for any act of hostility by Ger
man troops directed against allied
representatives in the Baltic prov,
| inces.
