Pari¢y’ March 16th.—Advices :rom | Dresden s ote that the members of the | German Scciaiist Party who have fled | to that city have published an appeal | inviting the proletariat to reply to the | military insurrcetion by a complete stop- page of all economic life.

[n So- | cialist cireles, it is said, that the atritude ‘ of Herr Noske, Ex-Minister of Derence, | proves his complicity.

The necessity of completely disarming | Germany, it says, appears clear. The ““Matin’’says tha:c Marshal Foch shows absolute confidence and will leav: to- dav ior Mayence. The ‘‘Petit Parisien” f says that 1n certain political cireles itis | thought that tne actual events in Ber- | lin will have happy corsgquences, be- ' cause they will cause the illusions of No. 66 strike as a means of enforcing the de- mands for the nationalization of the mines. The deeision of the miners’ body will be referred to a special trades union congress which meets today and the opinions which “ave been expressed by the leaders give rise to the expectation that this body will decide on the con- tinuation of constitutional means for achieving the end desired instead of re- sorting lo direct action.

Franktord, March 10th. —Great Britain is to return to Kentucky the battle flag which was captured in battle in Michigan in the war of 1812 when the Kentuckians surrendered to the British forces. A de- cendant of the commander of the Ameri- can forces at the battle has been commis- sioned to bring the flag. London, March 10th.—The parliamen- tary e.ections which are being held today in the Union of South Africa will. it is believed, decide the fate of the Govt. now held by General Smutts, who is con- tending against strorg Duteh nationalist elements aided by the labour party. The result may decide whether Cape Colony, the Orange Free State and Natal are to continue British or to form 2 South Afri- can Dutch republic under its own flag with an elected president. The imperial forces have recently been strength- ened, being joined by many who were influenced by charges that the York- shire spinners had been profiteering at the expense of South African wool growers. The high cost of living has »2lso been a campaign issue and the racial longing of a section of the Boers te be rid of domination has been brought to the front by politicians. Separation it is believed, would meet with strong opposition from the Imperial Govt., Na- tional sentiment is said to be so intense that, in some instances, families are divided over the issue, which is a sur- vival of the old st uggle going on be- tween the Dutch and the British since the Netherlands ceded Cape Colony to Great Britain. The present conditions are viewed with concern, because of the attitude of the Labour Partyv, this being the first time that anti-British Boers have been joined by any part of the Rritish population.
