THE GERMAN NOTE,
FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1923.
London, May 3.
The general impression en the German Note in London is un- favourable. The proposals are regarded as inadequate and the tone unfortunate. France is expected to brusquely turn it down, though it is hoped in some quarters that it may lead to an exchange of views between the Allies which will open the way favourable developments.

IMMORALITY IN HOTEL

The Daily News is disappointed at the Note and thinks Britain, Belgium, and Italy would probably accept the offer, but it is idle to hope France would be prepared to negotiate en this basis.

Some of the women told him their names on the first occasion he went to the place and when he examined the books he found that the names did not cor respond with the register.
It is semi-officially reported that the German Note is regarded as inacceptable in official French and Belgian circles. The French contend that it would simply suppress the Treaty of Versailles, It is declared that the Franco-Belgian Governments will reply by intens.fying the exploitation of the Ruhr.
The Intransigeant says that France will not negotiate until Germany acknowledges defeat.
The Journal des Debate says that Germany demands the evacua- tion of the Ruhr in exchange for a shadow,
The Liberte says the Note murks no improvements in German good faith.
The Temps says the French are in the Buhr and will remain there.
Berlin, May 3. Chancellor Cune, in his speech submitting the Reparations Note to State Presidents and Premiers, said that on its success depended peaceful co-operation between Germany, France and even Europe. Failure would thean intensification of Germany's defensive struggle against destruction and her last means of furnishing reparations. They wanted peace, but the price must be payable.

Mr. H. R. Sayder, for the de- fence, said he took violent excep tion to the way the police came to Court with unsubstantiated evi- dence. All that Sub-Insp. Moore had told the Court was what bel bad heard, and no man, submitted Counsel, could be seat to prisor upon hearsay evidence. He asked for a dismissal.
After having been directed by the Court to continue, Mr. Syo. der cross-examined Sub Insp Moore. The police, it was further į said could not control every wo- man who went into the place: they

The newspapers in no-wise give unqualified approval to the German offer. The Democratic and Socialist journals consider the offer to be the best possible at present, but the crgans of thecould not ask whether or not they Right profess dismay at the immensity of the offer and accuse the Government of weakness. All newspapers agree that passive resistance in the Ruhr must continue until an agreement has been reached.
New York, Mar 3. The majority of the morning papers express the opinion that the German offer provides a possible basis of settlement of reparations and should not be brushed aside, with the exception of the Tribune, which declares the Note shows that injured innocence and illimitable self-pity is still the foundation stone of the German attitude. Continued occupation of the Rühr could only guarantee Germany's creditors.

The Burgomaster of Dalhausen has been arrested and the town fined fifty million marks, as the result of a bomb being thrown at a troop train.

THE IRISH SITUATION.
London, May 3.
The Free State Government has apparently determined to ignore De Valera's offer of a truce, judging from the fact that no allusion was made thereto at yesterday's meeting of the Dail The Irregulars are at present strictly obeying the order to cease operations.
The inference drawn from President Cosgrave's silence is that the Government does not intend to give De Valera a chance to resurrect old issues, now that the Irregulars have evidently reached the end of their resources...
SOVIET'S INSOLENCE.
London, May 3.
Mr. Seyder said that it was no crime on the part of the hotel- keeper if men and women took rooms there. There was not a hotel in Shanghai that was not guilty of the same crime as the accused. Every hotel was doing the same.
The Magistrate said it was a bad custom which must be stopped. Customs in Shanghai were more or less a merger of Chinese foreign) customs. There need not have been actual
prostitution-but. men and women could not have been together in the hotel at that time of the night, Le, after 10 o'clock for a purpose that was honourable. The practice was against the morals and customs of both the Chinese and foreign. ers, and it was the intention of the Court to put a stop to it. The hotel-keeper toust have known or suspected what was going on. If he knew and allowed the practice to go on, he was simply encouraging clandestine prostitu tion. He should at least have taken the necessary precautions.
Mt. Snyder said that he did not think that it was against foreign
custome.
The Assessor said it was against both foreign and Chinese.
After consultation the man was fined $30.,
Mr. Snyder asked that the man's licence be returned to him, a request which was granted.
