surrender to the Poles" which IL ad-
vocated by Herr Ernst. OF the Prus-

IS now hopeless and Germany cannot
regain the territory occupied by the
Poles even with the division ordered
to the district-a division. he declares
which it is now impossible to as
semble.
The Zeitung Am Mittag declares

ment as Chinese apathy
The newspaper also expressed dis
quiet over the evacuation of Riga by
Germans and the danger Of Bolshe-
vik invasion Of Germany.
