The situation in Leipzig Is complicated
by q strike by the bourgeoise as pro-

the movement. In Munich there are ap-
parently two distinct parties. one

vocate the retention OF the Landtag with
concessions to the Extremists; the other

bers Of the German National Assembly
rushed through several bills at this
mornings session in an effort to get
back to their discussion of the national
constitution. but the Deputies again fell
afoul Of the transition law bill. on which
discussion was deferred yesterday.
The House quickly passed a bill to
shorten the length OF election investira-
tons. which heretofore had been 90
choked with red tape. the former Reich
stag having adjourned before an inves-
tigation was concluded.
A measure concerning the future OF
the German colonies was sponsored by
the Colonial Minister. who declared that
President Wilson in his fourteen points
unequivocally had spoken for justice
willing to Arbitrate.
The Minister said that Germany was
willing to submit the colonial question
to any impartial and non-p rtisan COM
mission on the basis of President
Wilson's fourteen points. The speaker
protested against the alleged unjustihed
charges of German mistreatment OF
natives in the German colonies. He said
the accusations either were based on
mistake or made with malice He then
proceeded to laud President Wilson.
The Assembly rapidly passed bills pro-
viding safeguards against money going
abroad. revising the 1917 law dealing
with foreign securities and requiring
tina: manuscript and printed matter and
securities and cash be sealed before
being sent abroad. The Assembly also
adopted bill to reimburse the enemy
