Chancellor of the Exchequer. after re-

Baltic Troops Rearm
In Secret at Night
Peril of New Revolt Indicated
by Activity ON Island
of .DanhOlm

BERLIN, April % (By The Associ-
ated Press) .-Despite official reports
that no outbreak is threatened in Pome-
rama, special correspondents of the
Berlin newspapers report there is
plenty Of infammatory material in that
region.
The semi-off1cial "Allgemeine lei
lungs" Stettin correspondent says that
although the Baltic troops have been
partly demobilized and disarmed, the
men secretly rearm themselves at night.
The real danger spot, he says, is the
fortified island Of Danholm, near
Stralsund, whence equipping and re-
arming is proceeding systematically.
Other correspondents say that Greifs-
valid University is hotbed Of mon
archist agitation. The students, who
at present number $500, mostly former
army officers, are resuming their
studies at the university. The "Tage-
blatt' says that secret conclaves take
place between the Agrarian leaders and
the university men, and that military
automobiles, with officers in civilian
"ieSs, are ruSnlng TO and frO.
The "Vossische Zeitung" says Gen.
eral Luettwitz, who led the Kapp mill
tary forces, and Major Bischof, of the
Baltic troops, were seen in Grcifswald
on Monday The newspaper agrees that
Stralsund is in q ferment, but saws
trouble is not likely to- occur until the
spring tillage has been concluded, in
the first week Of May. On the other
hand, the newspaper adds, there is fric-
tlon between the agricultural laborers,
whose trades union is we'll organized
and the Baltic forces, while the labor.
ers are not particularly friendly toward
the students.

find enough donkeys to carry all
the gold to Berlin, and to prevent
trickery OF any kind the fighting
