HANC0CK'S SHERIFF ORDERED To
FACE GOVERNOR and COUNCIL
SEP RAT!STS uPY CObLENz
But meet With REvERSES IN
OTHER SEC TONS RHINELAND

Coblenz. Oct. % (By A. P.)-The
pendulum in the bitter struggle
which has been raging since Sunday
between the Separatists attempting
to install a Rhineand republic by
force of arms and Nationalists, COM
munists and certain elements of the
workmen's unions, opposing , such
action, is swinging back and forth
with alternate advar taGes to the
contendirr sides. But to the neutral
observer it appears that the repub-
licans have made little Roadway
since their green, white and red en-
blem was first raised over AiX-la-
Chapelle's city hall three DAYS ago
BY capturing Duisburg and Cob
LEM today. thus gaining their first
footholds along the river Rhine, the
Rhinelanders scored what was re-
sarded as a telling blow until news
was received that they had been ex-
PEELED from Munchen- Gladbach and
other previously occupied points and
that their adherents were besieged
in the city hall at AiX-la- Chapelle,
with surrender imminent.
The surprise element has disap-
pcared from the movement. and the
opposition of the natiOnaliSts has
crystallized and is gaining strength.
The pre>ence of French troops has
been of -rvice to the republicans.
because these troops, while observ-
ing strict neutrality, have proved a
tower of strength to the separatists
as they only interveC when blood is
shed, and the letting of blood occurs
only when the opponents of the
Rhinelanders attempt to prevent
them from occupying public build
ings. as at Wiesbaden and Mayence
where the police have been dis
armed.
The Separatist leaders while stud
iously refraining from intercourse
with the military leaders, General
Degoutte and General Mordacq at
Wiesbadel, have been in constant
comm nication with the inter allied
Rhineland commission here. The
reply of NJ. Tirard. president of the
Rhineland commission, to the ennis
saries from DR.. Dorten and Joseph
Matthes. in which he notified the
Separatists that ne would hold them
responsible for keeping order. is re
garded in certain quarters here as
virtually amounting to recognition.
Martial law has been declared at
Wiesbaden, the French troops taking
control, as well as at Bonn, at the
request of the burogmaster. The
principal functionaries in Coblenz
refusing to adhere to the movement
have been eXpelled; the others are
under close surveillance: while of
ma ioritv of the nODlIlation is inde-
cided and is awaiting developments.

Down Rebel Move

Athens, Oct. % (By A. P.)-Ofi-
cial information shows that the gov
eminent has been successful in its
struggle to put down the revolt STAR
ted Monday with General MetaXas
as its leader.
1t was not without fighting, how
ever, that the government forces

ments was one near Chalois. where

ment. Colonel DjiraS and his corps,

prisoners. The extent of the casul
alties in the fighting is not yet

crS. The same communicate con-
firmcd the dispersal of group of
mutineers at Katerina and the cap
ture of their officers.
The latest news from Salonika
sayt the mutineers under Col. Ziras
have been dispersed and that Ziras
has fled. General Othonaios has

cident which prevented the sailing for

back and Captain Pine said tonight
that no time had been lost through
the accident. If the weather moder-
ates, he said, the Columbia will prob
ably reach Halifax Friday afternoon.

pare for race Saturday.

tional committee are Collector w. w.
Lufkin of the port of Boston. who is
also the official United States repre-
sentative at the series. and Frank
