MARTIAL LAW
AT WINNIPEG
after RIOT
One Dead, and More Than
Score Hurt in General
Fighting.

Winnipeg, June Winnipeg,
strike torn since May Is is under mar
tal law tonight, After fighting this
afternoon between thousands Of strik-
ers and the city and provincial police,
in which one man was killed, another
injured probably fatally, and more
than a score hurt, Mayor Charles +.
Grey, formally turned over the city
to the protection of the federal mill
tary forces.
General II. d. B. Ketchen, announ-
ced tonight that he had taken full
charge of the situation. At o'clock
rioting had ceased and the victims of
the fighting were in hospitals. Scores
of alleged rioters are in custody.
Silent" Parade Starts Trouble.
Three Incidents, taking place in
quick succession in mid afternoon,
precipatated the most turbulent seen
es in the history of Winnipeg Sev-
eral thousand strikers and strike
sympathizers, including returned
soldiers, were participating in a "sil-
ent" parade. A street car attempted
to penetrate the crowd on Main street.
Some of the paraders became openly
hostile and when mounted police en-
deavored to clear the thoroughfare,
the parade was turned into riot
For nearly two hours scarlet rid
ers, reinforced by returned soldiers
constables and policemen, fought the
rioters. The mounted police fired at
the men who attacked them and
sought to pull them from their horses.
Mike Sokolwoki, a registered alien,
fell dead with bullet in his heart.
Men in the crowd attacking the
police also brought weapons into
play. A returned soldier was wound
ed in the knee and an onlooker was

STOCKS ASCEND
ON ASSUMPTION
OF EARLY PEACE

New York, June 21.-On the as
sumption of an early acceptance by
Germany of the peace terms, today's
two-hour session of the Stock ex-
change was enlivened by further
advance of the general list, especially
the better known speculative favor
ties.
Fairly large turnover converged to
the usual extent around motors, oils,
shippings and equipments, although
tobacco, leather and food specialites
contributed their quota.
Extreme gains ranged to points,
the automobile division and kindred
accessories making the strongest
showing. Advances were subjected to
variable downward revision on realiz-
ing for profits, but the market closed
strong in the main. Sales amounted
to 775,000 shares.
The reaction of the early week,
when stringent monetary conditions
prevailed, was reflected in the weekly
bank statement, which showed a con-
traction of more than POS, 100000 in
actual loans, almost correcting the
heavy expansion of the past fort
night and an increase of slightly more
than $31 100000 in excess reserves,
wiping out last weeks reficit.
Reviews of the mercantile agencies
We're again of an optimistic tenor,
especially reference being made to the
better showing of such industrials as
iron, steel and coal.
Trading in bonds was nominal with
slight alterations in domestic and
foreign was issues. Total sales (par
value) aggregated $3,325 900. Or u.
S. bonrs were unchanged on call, dur
ing the week.

Sunk

London, May 2l.-The German Of
ficers and sailors, forming the COM
plements of the German ships inter
ned at Scapa Flow sank most of
their fleet today. All the big ships,
the battleships and battle cruisers,
excepting the Baden, and numerous
smaller craft were sunk while others
went ashore in half sunken condi-
ton. Eighteen destroyers were
beached by tugs. Four are still
afloat, while the remainder went I'M
der
The wholesale sinking of the Ger
man ships, which were surrendered
under the terms of the armstce,
was carefully arranged by officers
and crews. All explosives had been
removed and therefore the only
means of destroying the fleet was by
opening the seacocks. The ships
went down slowly with the German
flag, which the crews had hoisted,
showing at the mastheads
The crews, composed entirely of
Germans, under the terms of the ar
mistice, which did not permit of Brit
ish guards aboard, took to the boats
when the vessels began to settle.
While making for the shore the boats
were challenged and called upon to
surrender. Some of them ignored
the sumomns and were fired upon, a
few casualties resulting.
When the German high seas fleet
surrendered last November and was
taken to Scapa Flow, it comprised
nine battleships and five battle CRUZ
sers, seven light cruisers and so
destroyers. AS far as is known, all
the ships are still at Scarpa Flow.
The battleships at Scarpa Flow are
the Kaiser, Kaiserin, Koenig, Albert,
Bayern. Markgraf, Kronprinz Will
helm, Prinzregent Luitpold, Grosser
kuerfuerst and Frederick Der Gros-
Sc, averaging about $4,000 tons each.
The battle cruisers are the Seydlitz,
Hlndenburg, Moltke, Won Der, Tam
and Derflinger.

FRANCES POLICY
IN EAST BROUGHT
UP BY COMMENTS

Paris, Jan. documents in Ital-

has been made to Italians inter

attracted attention here TO the
question of Syria, Armenia and 9th
er eastern countries, the future OF
which probably viii be decided by
the peace conference.
On the supposition that the con

Great Britain and Russia regarding
Asa Minor and other matters ar
fecting relations between entente
powers must have been communi-
Gated TO the Italian gOvernm ant, it
is not apprehended that there will
be any serious conflict Of official
views.
Developments in the discussion
of Syria's future at the Franco
Syrian conference al Marseilles are
awaited with interest. Thu view
point here is that Syrian as well
as French delegates went TO that
conference to discuss the question
OF the theory of an extension of

1t is expected that some definite eX-
preston of the desires OF the Syr-
ian people will be made through
their delegates.
1t is pointed out that the whole
eastern question is difficult of early
solution. Countries Ike Armenia.
for instance. will be scarcely adj

tion soon enough TO present n def
mite program of future government
for consideration by the peace con
ference unless the latter is held in
protracted session.
Whether these questions VII or
will not delay the completion Of its
task is supposed TO depend on the
plan the peace conference adopts
for its work
