Paris. March 23rd-The situation in
Germany appears to be less tense, an
agreement apparently having been reach
ed between Herr Bauer and the chiefs
of the syndicates of workmen, by terms
of which a new provisional Govt, pure
ly socialist in character, will be con
stituted, with a mission to re-es1ablish
order and carry out legal elections. A
Guard of workmen will replace the Reich
troops at Berlin. In West Phalia the sit
uation is unchanged and it is stated that
q Dictatorship will not be proclaimed, but
the hate of the miners against the reich
Govt. is intense. and it is declared that
while they are ready to allow themselves
to be disarmed by the Entente, they
would prefer to die rather than sErren-
der to the Reich, and in case, of a con
centrated attack they would blow up the
factories and destroy the mines. From
Berlin it is officially announced that Gen
eral LutWitz and Won Trotha have Oeel
arrested. but the whereabouts Of Ganey-
al knapp h We not vet been discovered.
A violent battle is reported to have aiken
place at Gotha, in which the Communists
lost 1000 men killed.
Paris. March 24th.--In the hearing OF
witnesses for the defence in the Cai:lauX
case today, M. Schmltt eX,Deputy Tor
the Vosges, declared that the journal
de Alsace Lorraine, an organ for French
Propaganda, was subsidized by M. Gail
laux. Genl. de La Mothe said that the
progl anime Of the Caillaux Cabinet rela-
tive to heavy artillery improved the stu
alton in the arm of the service. M Ri
pauet. a publicist, declared that in his
opinion the Govt. which succeeded in
1912 in avoiding war deserved the re-
cognition Of the country, this decIara-
ton is causing a sensation among the au-
dience. A deposition by General Dubain
was then read stating that on the initia-
tive of the Superior Council of War he
studied, in 1912, the plans for a new
howitzer, but after the fall of the Gail
laux Cabinet the matter was dropped.
M. Caillaux thereupon said that he wish
ed by the dispositions of Generals de la
Mothe and Dubain to prove that the
first programme of heaving artillery was
prepared under his suggestion. The
hearing was continued within closed doors.
