The immediate return Is urged 10

There have been no improvements since
the Government took over the lines.

BERLIN, Jan. 2s (delayed) The For
eign once is interested in press des-
patches from Paris to-day saying that
Germany and Russia are to be ad-
mitted to the league Of nations only
when their their political situations
have reached stability. Count Won
Bernstorff to-day said that Foreign
ONCE officials and other high person
ages unanimously are OF the opinion
that this situation. II It has not been
attained, will be solved completely with
the meeting OF the Assembly.
1T is true that there Is much eco
nomic disorganization in Germany to-
day." said Count Won Bernstorn, but
the orderliness Of the elections last
Sunday affords evidence OF stability In
political conditions which is highly
gratifying to us. 1t is too early to say
that Communism, or Bolshevism. Is
quite killed, but undoubtedly the de-
termined measures taken against II by
the Provisional Government have rem
dered It practically powerless. and that
in the face OF the decided expression OK
the popular will evidenced by the cleo
tions Communism has ceased to be a
serious political factor.
Even II all the twenty-for inde-
pendents elected to the Assembly were
adherents to the Spartacan doctrine
and not more than half dozen OF them
are suspected Of such sympathies-they
would be powerless before the nearly
400 delegates who, whatever their poll
teal tenets, are all opponents OF any
class of dictatorship.
Significant in this connection Is the
fact that the new Democratic party
which l Joined at It's foundation, So
cured no less than seventy seven seats,
thus holding the balance of power be-
tween the Socialists and the more con-
servative parties. preventing purely
Socialist government. Another I'M
portant point is that although number
of former Reichstag members were
elected to the Assembly the membership
as a whole Is composed OF new repre-
sentative and able men and women
whose lives and ACTIVITIES are suaran-
tee of earnest and honest constructive
work at Weimar."

the German National Assembly
under the direction Of Councillor
Schultz of Berlin, member Of the

LONDON. Jan. ga despatch to the
Exchange Telegraph from Copenhagen,
quoting advices received from Raval,
are TO the effect that Leon Trotzky,
the Bolshevik Minister OF War and
Marine, succeeded in escaping from
Tarva before that town was captured,
but that a regiment OF the Red Guard
and a number OF Its officers were made
prisoner.
The despatch adds the Reds killed the
bourgeoisie who remained In Narva and
also the entire populations Of surround
Ing villages. owing TO the inability OF
the people to pay the heavy taxes I'm
posed on them.
The Bolsheviki are advancing against
Libau. which, according to report, will
be defended by the British squadron
there.
A BASEL despatch dated Friday re-
ported that Trotzky did not make his

LONDON. Jan. 26.-The British indus
trial situation and the outlook In the
shipbuilding yards and the machine
shops is very grave. Negotiations re-
garding the restoration OF shop prac-
tees which were withdrawn upon the
institution OF the forty-seven hour
week have failed. 1t is obvious that
the real factor behind the disputes Is
the fear on the part of labor that the
industries will not be able to absorb
the demobilized soldiers unless the
hours of work are curtailed in all In
dustries.
A majority Of the northeastern ship
yards and machine shops are idle
while the others are more or less ar
fected. The great Harland & Woln
shipyards at Belfast. which will close
after failing to grant the forty-seven
hour week, has 1000 employees, and
the stoppage Of work there will cause
the closing Of many other industries.
The Scottish situation Is tense, the
majority OF the trade unions threaten
ing to call out their members unless
the shorter hours are granted by to-
morrow. The electrical workers en-
ployed by the municipalities have agreed
to take part and will tie up all or Gas
gov and other cities
The miners in the Nottingham pits
are striking sympathetically In support
OF miners who quit owing TO the dis
charge of twenty-six men who were sub
stitutes for demobilized soldiers. The
strike promises TO tie up the hosiery
industries in a few days through the
shortage of coal Union officials ana
the Ministry OF Labor are comforting.
but the prospect Of an early settlement
OF the dispute Is not good.
LONDON. Jan. 26.-Industrial ferment
continues Another conference OF the
Railway Union. representing nearly the
whole kingdom, was held In London to-
day and a strong feeling was expressed
regarding the Governments continued
neglect to deal adequately" with the
mems grievances and threatening a
strike unless matters are settled by
February 3.
| Another meeting Of 5000 persons en-
gagged In shipbuilding and repairing IN
the port Of London decided to strike to-
morrow for increased wages.
In Glasgow to-day the labor com
munity was absorbed in a number OF
meetings. and as consequence there
will be a strike on the Clyde tomorrow,
although how many will be involved iA
not known, opinion being sharply d.
vided on the question of demanding a
forty hour week. on the ground that
when the army is demobilized there will
not be enough work to go around II
normal working hours are maintained.
In many Of the large works. however
the men oppose this extreme demand and
refuse to Join in the strike, hence the
attempt to organize a general stoppage
OF work In Glasgow has failed The
tram men are among those who have
! refused to strike.

The Independent Socialists and Lib

have begun to agitate against the pro-
posal to hold the Assembly In Weimar
instead of in Berlin. The Central Com

Councils in Berlin has pronounced
against this decision and has called
