tween france and Germany. lne Der
lin government, of course, refused to
recognize the new state and ordered
the prosecution of Dorten for high
treason. Then the Germans claimed
to have discovered that the scheme
was fostered and aided by the French
and that Marshal Foch and Premier
Clemenceau had told the R~hinelanders
that 'sthe German government would
never again have anything to do with
the left bank Of the Rhine, and hence
the propagandists could not be pun
ished." The Berlin press said the
French had a propaganda fund Of 81
100000 and were using 1t to bride the
people Of Rhineland and the Palatinate
to favor the independent republic. 1t Is
true that the French look with favor
on the new state and apparently they
will, so far as possible. protect 1t from
the Ebert government. General Man.
gin. commanding the French army of
occupation at Mayence. has forbidden
strikes and other disturbances directed
against the Rhenish republic. The
German government formally protest
ed to the armistice commission against
the course pursued by the French. The
British and Americans In the occupied
territory, 1t was said, were taking ne
part In the affair and would take none.
The reply Of the Austrians to the
terms Of the peace treaty handed to
them was a dignified. rather pathetic
and almost hopeless plea by Chancellor
Karl Renner for conditions that would
permit the German-Austrian republic
to live and to organize for the exist
ence Of an independent commonwealth.
He outlined the history of It's estab-
lishment and argued that it has no re-
lation with the former empire Of the
Hapsburgs. His country. he urged.
should be treated as considerably as
the other nations that have sprung
from the Danube monarchy. Like the
Germans, he made frequent reference
to the fourteen points, and 80 did the
Vienna papers when the terms were
given to the public. The press de-
clared the terms were cruelty harsh,
and much anger was shown against
the Italians, Czechs and Jugo- Slavs.
The people generally were bitterly dis
appointed to find that they were not
being treated much better than the
Germans, and a big meeting of protest
was held. The public view was ex-
pressed by Doctor Treichl, a banker,
who said: 'The only thing for the Aus
trian people is to say: We might as
well Join with Germany. as we are
companions In misfortune. We have
nothing to lose by doing So"
The grand council of German Aus
trfa adopted the report of DIR. Otto
Bauer, which was to the effect that
the peace terms meant the death SEN
tence of the Austrian republic.
From Vienna comes the news that
the bolshevist regime In Hungary Is
nearing its end. The communist cabi-
net has been replaced by one headed
| by Herr German. n Of Count Karol-
yi's followers, and It was said he had
been invited to Versailles to confer
with the entente representatives. In
the Ukraine the troops of General
Petlura captured several railway CEN
tiers from the bolsheviki. A premature
report from Vardoe said the Esthoni-
ans and Firms had captured Petrograd.
Later the bolshevists claimed to have
driven the Esthonians back west Of
CATCHING. The American troops In the
Archangel region began e~mbarking for
home. An interesting but unlikely
story coming by bolshevist wire from
Moscow said General Semenoff had
called q congress In eastern Siberia,
which had declared the autonomy Of
Mongolia and named Semenoff as
grand duke Of that country.
Two events have stirred the Sparta
cans Of Germany to renewed activity
that leads to the prediction that they
will soon make another organized at
tempt to overthrow the government.
One was the finding in the Landwehr
canal Of a body declared to be that Of
Red Rosa" Luxembourg. their muir
dered woman leader. The other was
the discovery that Capt. Won Pfug-Har.
tung and Lieutenant Lehman. who
were convicted Of the murder Of Lieb-
knecht. had been allowed to escape
from prison on false release orders
and get to Holland on false passports.
1t had been known that Lieut.. Kurt
vqgel, convicted of the same crime,
had escaped In the same way. All this
a aroused great bitterness against
the government In the minds Of many
people.
