pied by his troops as Russian territory.
The Lithuanian troops in Schauen have
been disarmed by the Russians. The
German troops took no part in the dis

Riga are as yet somewhat obscure.

have been in the Baltic provinces for the
last year. the refusal of whom to return
to Germany has led to a critical stua-

Government, are troops of the Russian

ported to be anti-Bolshevik. Their COM
mander, Col. Avaloff- Bermondt. has as

4 PARIS. Oct. 11.-Final action yesterday
" the Supreme Council of the Allies on
the form of the note which Marshal
Foch ia to deliver to the German Gov
ernment in regard to Gen. Won der
Gcitz's operations in the Baltic states
shows that the Council fully realizes
that in the outcome of this Baltic issue
Mes the supreme test Of its ability to
enforce the peace treaty. both in fact
and in spirit.
With the whole question Of Germany
future disarmament at stake. the Allies
decided in the new note:
First-To reject the German argu-
ments in her answer and to hold her
responsible for the return and disband-
rnent of these troops.
Second-To point out as the reason
Tor rejecting the pleas of Germany that
me was unable to control this army that
the Allies have evidence that only four
weeks ago the German War ONCE was
recruiting officers for this army and
BENDING them from Berlin, and also that
the Allies have evidence that stream
" Government supplies has been going
70 this army from East Prussia.
\ Third-The note will accept the Ger
man suggestion for the creation OF an
allied commission to this extent: The
Allies will name a commission strictly
Of their own to go to the Baltic region
with Instructions merely to watch what
measures Germany is taking, and upon
the report Of this commission VIII de-
pend whether the Allies will discontinue
the economic pressure which already
they are applying to Germany.
Fourth. the note will state that the
Reparations Commission will continue
to hold up action on all requests that
Germany now has pending before 1t re-
garding priority for raw materials and
other measures vital to her. until the
Allies commission reports that Germany
has met the terms. Should Germany
not meet the terms, the Allies reserve
the right to withhold the food supply,
although this measure will not be re-
sorted to for the present.
4 It is the definite evidence obtained by
the British and French officers of the
0onnivance of the German War Onice
n the Won der Goltz operations which
determined the Allies to take this latest
stand. The Allies believe that 1t Is use
loD to expect to bring Rumania and
other nations to terms unless they snow
they still can enforce their mandates
upon Germany. The report that Ru-
mania has not yet met the Allies terms

SHANGHAI, Oct. 11.--Unless the allied
Powers wish to see China pass wholly
under the domination Of the japanese
military party they must exert them
selves now vigorously. The conference
which Wang-I-Tang, the chief northern
delegate. has been vainly trying to bring
about at Shanghai during the last three
weeks has brought matters to a crisis.
II Ia not too much to say that the
whole fate of China hangs on the issue
OF the next few weeks. Five days ago.
Tang Shao vi, the chief southern dele
gate. resigned and returned to Canton.
stating openly that his position was
rendered impossible by the secret nego-
tiations going on behind his back be-
tween the militarists at Canton and
Pekin. This harmonizes the general
conviction that the real conference was
between the great generals and Tuchens
OF the north and south, and Wang-I-
Tang's mission merely to persuade the
constitutionals to accept various high
sounding but meaningless concessions,
the real power of the Tuchens being
already assured.
The danger of the situation is that the
latter are merely tools Of the Japanese
military faction. It Is impossible to
regard Japan in the light of former
days or accept her professions as a sin
cere representation of her real policy.
This is no affair of the local and more
or less negligible commercial Jealousies.
The situation is complicated further
by the growing strength Of the students
movement. In China this organization's
restlessness, for the first time in the his
tory of such undertakings. transcends
all provincial barriers and represents
genuine national movement more than
anything previously. In China at any
time the student movement might result
in riots which would give the Japanese
militarists an excuse for sending troops
to restore order.

No Evidence of Connivance.

Although number of troops for the
German-Russian army in Courland were
recruited In Berlin itself, the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press learns in
well informed quarters that there Is no
evidence to show any connivance by the
German Government on the contrary.
the Berlin Government is believed here
to be genuinely alarmed at the presence
OF such large force of Adventures on
the borders of the republic, and to be
apprehensive over the possibilities of a
return of these soldiers to German terri
tory, where they might swell the ranks
either OF the German monarchlsts or Of
the Spartacans.
For many weeks recruits have been
struggled across the German frontier
into the Baltic provinces. These have
been assembled at the headquarters of
the Russian Western Army at Mitau.
1t Is stated that the Lettish Govern
ment faces an extremely dangerous stu
alton since owing to interference by To-
cal German troops it Is unable to raise
any proper army and must rely upon
small forces and upon any help which
the Esthonian Government may be able
to send. Should the German troops sue

Baltic peoples. fears are felt here that
large part of the country will be given
