PROPOSED DECREE TO EXPEL HOHENZOLLERNS.
WORKERS' FEARS FOR REPUBLIC.
BERLIN, August 30.
The Government's proclamation, mentioned yesterday, which has been assailed with a torrent of abuse by the reactionary press has been welcomed by the socialist and democratic newspapers. According to the latter, the Government is in possession of information that the situation is much worse than it appears on the surface. Trade union leaders claiming to represent 11,000,000 workers called on the Chancellor demanding vigorous measures for the protection of the republic, including abolition of martial law in Bavaria, Central Germany, and East Prussia where it is alleged that it has been abused for reactionary purposes, also the dismissal of members of the Reichwehr participating in anti-republican demonstrations.

SOVIET DISSOLVES VOLUNTARY RELIEF COMMITTEE,
ALLEGED POLITICAL INTRIGUES.
LONDON, August 30,
On the ground that the majority of the members of the committee are counter-revolutionaries subordinating the interests of the starving population to political considerations, the Soviet Government has dissolved the volunt ary relief committee. This step is calculated seriously to hamper relief measures at the present critical juncture, as shown by a Moscow wireless appealing to those not wishing to sacrifice the interest of the starving peo pie to political considerations to carry on relief on the basis of independent initiative.
REVAL, August 30.
A message from Moscow states that members of the pan-Russian relief committee whose request to send a delegation abroad was refused have now been arrested and their correspondence and documents seized, on the ground of disobedience to the central executive.

Inspector Brewer said that when he visited the shop this morning, all the bottles of skimmed milk were labelled, He wondered where the de- fendant got the labels from..
A fine of $20 was imposed.
A third dairyman, the keeper of a larger shop was fined $25 for a similar offence. He also entered a plea of ignorance.

Dr. W. W. Pearse (M. O. H.) con- ducted the case for the prosecution, while Mr. W. B. Hind had charge of the defence.
Dr. Pearse said that the Gorera- ment Analyst's certificate showed. that 4 per cent of water had been added to the milk, a very small per- centage, he would admit, and at first sight it would appear that no one would bother to add such a small quantity of water to the milk, but it must be borne in mind that the Analyst's report was based on the local standard of milk, which was very low. The Health authorities required three per cent of fat and 8.5 per cent of solids. This standard was regarded as very low in other parts of the world.
Mr. Hind objected to the statement that the local standard was low.
The Magistrate said that what Dr. Pearse had said was that it was low
