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 whicha new provisional Govt., pure- ly socialist in character, will be con- stituted, with a mission to re-establish 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 a dictarorship will not be proelaimed, but the hate of the miners against the Reich Govt. is intense, and it is declared that while they are ready to allow then:selves to be disarmed by the Entente, they would prefer to die rathef than surren- der to the Reich, and in ecase, of a con- centrated attack they wopld blow up the factories and destroy the mines. ¥rom Berlin 1t is cflieially announced that Gen- eral Lurwitz and Von Trotha have beea artested, but the whereabouts of G2ner- al Knapp h ve not vet beer discovered. A violenr battle is reported to have raken place at Gothu, in which the Communists lost 1,000 men killed. Paris. March 24th.-—ln the hearing of witnesses for the defence in the Caillaux case today, M. Schmitt ex-Deputy for the Vosges, declared that the "‘dournal de Alsace Lorraine’’, an organ for French Propaganca, was subsidized by M. Cail- laux. Genl. de La Mothe said that the progiamme of the Caillaux Cabinet rela- tive to heavy artillery improved the situ- ation 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- cogonition of the countvy, this deciara- tion is causing a sensation among the au- dience. A deposition by General Dubain was then read stating that on tne initia- tive of the Superior Council of Wai he studied, in 1912, the plans for a new howitzer, but after the fall of the Oail- laux Cabinet the matter was dropped. M. Caillaux thereupon said that he wish- ed by the depositions of Generals de la Mothe and Dubain to prove that the first programme of heaving artillery was prepared under his suggestion.

The Conference of tie Associ:tad Chambers of Commerce cf the Wesu in- dies have occupied the attention of the public mind during the greater part of the fortnight. The.,proceedings opened on Monday 23rd, and closed on Satur- day 28th. The delegates from Jamaica were unable to attend, having probably missed the steamer connexion. "he Confeyence was a highly success- ful »ne, and it is expected will pave the way to settlement of many pending ques- tions. It will be tollowed by a Confer- ence of Steamship connexion with (an- ada, to be held at Ottawa, at which the President of the Associated Cham- bers, Sir Fdward Davson, will be pres- ent. The West Indian representatives on this ocecasion will have a vote on any question. ' A The bitterness of feeling against the arivnngements by the Ex cutive, with regard to sugar for local consumption Ils growing more accentuated every day. The retail prices fixed by the Governor in-Executive Commitiee under date of 24th Feb. are: White crystals, 18 cents per ib.; Yellow Crystals 16c s. per lb: Dark Crystals and Centrif gal Musco- vado 12 cents per lb; Molases sugar 6ets. per lb. The crop has now started, and with the more general employment and better wages of the reaping system, the imposition of this Sugar price may be borne., But when employwent begins to fall off, and the earnin s tc diminish the labourers whether in town or in country, will find it impossible to pro- cure Sugar at the price fixed by the Govt. It 1s understood th&t a considerable portion of the crop now to be reaped, has aiready been sold for export at $7.50 to $7 80 per 100 lbs. Yet for. local consumption the Goverr.- ment were unable to fill ‘heir purclases at less than 331/2 advance in price. Surely there must he some explanaticn fortheoming for such an extraordinary state of affairs.-- Barbades Advocate, March 2nd. DEMERARA DIAMONDS. The s. s.
