Government II appears that agents au-
thorized by Chancellor Ebert and Philip
Scheidemann have Just made proposal
at sReval to furnish sufficient quantity
of ,arns and ammunition and to make
loan of s12.500.0O0. They emphasize
thu advantage TO Esthopia Of securing
ths friendship of Germany instead OF
awaiting forever the support of the
Entente. especially Great Britain, which
in. the end will recoup itself by the oc-
cupation of the naval base of Reval.
The same kind of propaganda is being
carried among the Russian colony here
as in Reval and Pctrograd by means OF
the press and by colored news coming
from German agencies in Rotterdam and
Switzerland. This propaganda refers TO
the Marmora conference and suggests
that the Governments OF the Entente
will never help Russia TO liberate itself
from Bolshevism and that the Russians
therefore, should secure the friendship
Of Germany
