LONDON, March 19.
The situation in Germany is generally unclear. The strike position at Berlin is little changed. It is stated that the workers refuse to resume work until all troops are removed from the city. It appears that Count Bernstorf is foreign minister in the new cabinet. It is reported that the arrest of Ludendorff was ordered. All the leaders of the {revolution fled from Berlin. General von Heckt on behalf of Noske has appealed to the army to oppose any attempt at Bolshevism. Further extremist movements are reported in the provinces. As an ex- ample, the congress of workers' councila at Chemnitz passed a resolution demanding, inter alia, the disbandment of, the regular troops, and the con- vocation of a soviet congress. A general strike has started in all parts of Erzgebirge, Vogtland, and forth Saxony; where collisions between trooper and the crowd have gecurred. Martial law has been declared at Leipzig.

He admitted that Silesia and east Prussia were out of hand but settlement there was only a matter of a few days. He referred to the rising communistic tida and threatened Bolshevism as a result of insurrection. He emphasis ed that the government's single-minded aim must be to repel atttacks against democracy.

A SERIOUS CASE,
Before Mr, N. E. Smith at the Magistracy this morning, three of four Chinese who are out on bail. (the fourth man failing to surrender to his bau), were charged with assaulting a boy employed by the compradore of the s. "Onlee". They pleaded not guilty ".
Mr. Len d'Almada who appeared for the prosecution, said the defend. ants were people who catered for steerage passengers on board the ship. They had often assaulted Counsel's client because he had refused to join a society to which -they belonged. Yesterday, they again- assaulted him, and be complained to the Chief Engineer who told him to charge them.
Mr. A. Hudson, Chief Engineer of the ship, then went into the witness. bok, and said that the complainant Twho was bleeding on the face, came to him and complained that three or four men had assaulted him. Witness told the complainant that the best thing to do was to prosecute them in Court Witness could not say if the defendants were the persons who assaulted the complainant, as he did - not actually see the assault. He re- cognized them however, as being employed on board," ·
At this juncture, Mr. Lyson came in and announced that he had just been instructed to appear "for the defence.
His Worship explained to Counsel that he had just finished taking Mr. Hudson's evidence, and as the ship was due to sail in an hour's time, he did not propose to keep Mr. Hudson much longer in Court. He asked if Counsel would be satisfied if he read the witness's deposition' to him.
Mr. Lyson said he would. After his. Worship had read Mr. Hudson's deposition, Mr. Lysòn said. he had no questions to ask.
Mr. Hudson was then allowed to leave the Court.
Mr. Lyson said as he had only just 'been retained for the defence, he was not prepared to go on with the case. He would like a remand.
His Worship remanded the case until the 31st last.
SAYS POLICEMAN WANTED A KISS.
A Chinese woman was this morging charged before Mr. Hutchison with disorderly conduct. She denied, the charge...
A Chinese constable said at 1.30 a.m., he saw, the defendant, together with two other women and four men, sitting in the road, talking in a loud voice. He went up to them and told them not to be so noisy, whereupon the defendant attacked him with a piece of wood. He had enough to do to take her to station,"
The woman denied that she was with some other women and men. She was sitting out alone, when the constable came up to her and asked ber for a kiss. She refused him, and he slapped her face. She, of course, retaliated.
| His worship thought there was nothing serious about the case, and dismissed it. Before discharging the defendant, however, he warned her not to be noisy in future. Especially at so early an hour of the morning, when all good citizens are still in bed.
