"PURELY LOCAL OUTBURST,"
(Reuter's Service to the China Mail.)
BERLIN, October 21.
The proclamation of the Rhenish Republic at Aix-la-Chapelle has not been taken very tragically in official quarters here where it is regarded as a purely local outburst unlikely to spread to other

Simultaneously they accuse the other side 3f dis-parts of the occupied territory. It is reported that the armed Separatists, carrying out the coup, rum- bered some two thousand.
ruptive influences.
A message from Manich says that Von Rihr, in a statement to pressmen, insisted that Bavaria had rejected all idea of separation and its action was purely directed against the policy of the Reich government and not against the Reich. He declared that its attitude was dictated by opposition to inter nationalism and Marxism.
The Imperial Government, in a manifesto.ow ever, describes the latter claim as wilful misrepre- sentation and says the Bavarian appointment of Von Lossow is an open breach of the constitution of the empire. Geacalissino Von Seeckt, in aiBorder to the Reichswehr, warns the seventh Bavarian division to remain loyal to their oath to the Reich and unconditionally obey their highest military commander.

FRANCE CAUTIOUS.
PARIS, October 21. The French official attitude towards the coup is one of cautious reserve. It is not yet clear whether the merchant, Deckers, who was the head of the mavement at Aix-la-Chapelle was acting in accord with the principal Separatist leaders. The opinion is held here that if unity of view prevails among the Separatist leaders the movement may well spread throughout the Rhineland in its present stute of high tension. It is officially declared that the French will not intervene untess they are required to protect the lives and property of Allied nationals or nationals working for the Allies.
BELGIUM STRICTLY NEUTRAL.
BRUSSELS, October 21.
It is stated that the Government has instructed the Belgian military authorities to observe the strictest neutrality regarding the Separatist coup, interfering only in case of disorder and for the pro- tection of life.
