ed to Restore Order-Warnings
Are Issued Against French
No Peace Without Help.

have peace here until English and
American troops come to keep or
derl"
The above is the statement attrib-
uted to one Of the riotous German
sailors in Berlin bv the correspond
ent of the London Daily Express.
Another Rotor said:
Don't let them send any French
troops or there will be more fight
ing.
The lower classes in Berlin are
willing to see foreign troops in the

ing to lose and perhaps something to

correspondent as saying that he and
his fellow cabinet members, Hugo
Haase and Wilhelm Dittman, would
not accept the responsibility Of or
dering ain attack on the mutinous
sailors, these instructions having
been given by Ebert, Scheidemann
and Lansberg.
The correspondent con siders one of
the most disquieting factors of the
situation is the part played by the
sailors wives and sweethearts, many
of whom participated in the fighting.
