War Again or Still?

The armistice Is expiring. The
state of war Is officially ended, the
necessary three nations, Great
Britain. France and Italy having
ratified the treaty Of peace with Ger
many. Yet tho dispatches Of Tues
day tell of Allied ships to be sent to
helps the Let's defend Riga. which
for I'VE days has been under inces-
SAINT and stubborn German attacks
The Germans also have tried re-
peatedly to cross the Dvina river.
One Of the conditions of the
armistice required that Germany
shall. when requested. withdraw he,
troops from the Baltic provinces
which belonged to the former Rus.
sian empire. These provinces are
Esthonia, Letvia and Lithuania. The
withdrawal has been promised by the
Berlin government but has not beer
accomplished. General Won del
Goltz, whose command is mostly
made up Of adventures and free
hooters, a motley crew out for what
ever offers itself. does not evacuate
but attacks.
The Baltic provinces are beset or
one side by the Germans and on the
other by the Russians, and the un-
Outstanding between Germans ano
Russians is apparent to all who are
in the vicinity. A despatch to the
Manchester Guardian from Berlir
says that the Russo-German plot IL

dictionaries in Berlin since the be-
ginning of the year. The vast posi-.
bilities Of such an adventure as they
contemplated almost tempted the
German armies in the East to actor
at the critical moment of the ratifi
cation Of the peace treaty in the ma
tional assembly at Weimar.
The Berlin correspondent state:
that for months there has been &C.
tive recruiting in Germany for the
army of the Baltic and also for Rus.
sian forces. Russian officers, fire.

array. an organization Of militia from

inces is being recruited. Young
men have been induced to join II
