mandamus for which it has applied in
the Supreme Court in Westminster

Under a law passed in the last session

subtracted from the prison term. The
Superintendent of Prisons interprets the
law as affecting only those sentenced af-

contend that 1t applies to all inmates OF

sentenced, and has asked the courts to
compel the prison authorities to act I'M

cners would gain as much as thirty-five
months and none less than one month X

of Sing Sing to credit the prisoners with
four months each year instead of three

interpret this to mean that the ten days
shall be credited after thirty days have
been served instead of including them in

GERMAN INTRIGUE IN
EAST LONG PLANNED
Recruiting for Army Has
Been Going On for Months.

LONDON, Oct ia despatch to the
Manchester Guardian from Berlin re.
ports that the Russo-German intrigue
Is OF very long standing, an Eastern
adventure having been in the minds Of
military reactionaries in Berlin since
the beginning of the year.
1t Will be remembered, the despatch
states, that the far reaching possibility
Of such measure almost tempted in
dependent action on the part of Ger
man armies In the East at the critical
moment of the ratification of the peace
treaty In the National Assembly at
Wemar.
For months, the correspondent says,
intense recruiting for the army in the
Baltic has been going on In Germany
not only for the so-called Iron Divi-
sion" and other German detachments but
also for nominally Russian forces. Rus
sian officers. often Russian only in uni
form. are a familiar sight in Berlin and
elsewhere throughout the country. Re-
cruits. largely from south Germany. are
continually passing through by railway.
Many OF these wear Russian uniforms.
but most of them are in the German
field gray with Russian shoulder straps
and cockades.
In addition there has been an organi-
cation of militia or Landwehr from
among residents OF the Baltic prov
inces. Youths have been induced to
enlist partly by the romance of mill
tary adventure and partly by offers of
citizenship in the proposed new State
and land upon which they may form
agricultural colonies. but the main ar
gument has been the fear Of the dis
tress and anxiety awaiting them in
Germany II they were demobilized.
Their reluctance to return home is
Ineligible. the more so because the In
tense propaganda by their superiors is
directed as much against republican
Germany as against Soviet Russia. The
Independent Socialist newspaper Fret
heit persistently declares that IL this
army retreats into East Prussia a mon
archist and -militarist coup Is seriously
to be feared

that thus the voice of Japanese labor
