EOREIGN MINISTER TCHITCHER-
4 IN and his colleagues seem de-
termined to bring about a break be-
tween Russia and Great Britain over
the Chinese situation, and have been
bombarding Downing street with pro-
yocative notes demanding the release
Of Dosser, the Russian strike fomenter
arrested in Shanghai, denying the
jurisdiction Of the mixed tribunal in
his case and finally challenging the
whole status of British subjects in
China under then extraterritorial
rights granted to foreign concessions
by previous treaties with China.
Similar notes of protest were sent to
the Chinese government by Moscow.
This straining of relations, coupled
with row between Germany and
Russia over the arrest and sentence
to death Of some German students who
were convicted of being anti-soviet
plotters, gave rise to fears that wide
spread hostilities might break out
shortly. But the British cabinet took
things calmly and Foreign Minister
Chamberlain somewhat treasured anx-
ious members of parliament by stating
that the government was not (prepar-
ing to break off relations with Russia.
He added, however. that it was closely
watching the current of events, and
reiterated a previous assertion that
the government must retain liberty
Of action"
The Reds overlook no opportunity
to stir up trouble. When a British
feet visited Oslo, Norway. last week
the Communists there appealed to the
members of the crews, urging them to
rise in revolt rather than to obey
your government if you are ordered to
make war on Russia"
From Riga comes story that Great
Britain has asked Germany to publish
all the documents in connection with
the German general staff's transport
ing of Lenin and his aids from SwitZ-
erland in 1917 and to disclose the
amount Of money paid them to, stage
the Bolshevik revolution. Moscow is
said to be much worried by this, fear
ing the disclosures would seriously
weaken the authority of the Commu-
mist party and the prestige Of the So
Wet government,
Russia also is becoming involved in
new difficulties with Poland. Recently
there have been a number of attacks
by Russian soldiers on Polish frontier
posts. and more than two hundred So
Wet emissaries have been arrested in
eastern Poland within few days.
vt BEGINS to look as if France
would have to send hundreds of
thousands of troops to Morocco as re-
Inducements, if Abd-el-Krim is to be
stopped-and maybe even that would
not do it. The Riffian leader, who
calls himself sultan of Morocco, has
been making series of fierce attacks
on the French line between Taxa and
Fee and his troops are not far from
the latter city, his main objective.
His propaganda among the tribes hith-
erto friendly to the French is taking
effect and some of them have joined
his standard, while others have been
disarmed by the French. Should Krim
be able to take Fee and overthrow
Sultan Muley Youssef there would al
most certainly be a general uprising
throughout Morocco in favor of the
Riff leader. Realizing this, Marshal
Lyautey is hurrying tanks, artillery,
cavalry and machine guns to the line
north of the capital to hold Krim back
until reinforcements arrive from
France. Premier Painleve has said
the Riffians are aided by Turkish AMI
! German officers, and now govern
ment newspaper in Paris gives details
Of the German, Russian and Turkish
intrigues in the Riff. Among other
things, it says 100 Moslem officers
from Batum were landed secretly on
the Riff coast not long ago from a
Turkish ship. Spain and France have
agreed on a combined land blockade of
the Riff war zone to supplement the
sea blockade. and also have reached
an accord ON political cooperation in
Morocco. They will offer Krim auton-
dmy in the Riff under Spanish pro-
tectorate. Gen. Stanislaus Naulin
has been made French commander
ln-chief in Morocco.
