GERMAN RED `ARMY.

COMMUNIST PARTY DELAY COMBINED ACTION-TOO LATE.

DOCUMENTS SEIZED.

BELLEY, Huary 23."

It is semi-officially stated that searches of houses in Ess, Duesseldorf, Elberfeld, and Luenen near Dortmund, have given ample exidence of the existence of the Red Army with military headquarters in Berlin which was called into being by the German Communist Party. Statements made by arrested persons confirm this, and documents seized show that the Red Army possesses light and heavy arms and a vast quantity of other war material Armed action was to have begun at the conclusion of the recent strike of smelters at Hamburg but was postponed a fortnight because it was considered that the time was not ripe for combined action. It is reported from Duesseldorf that a Red Army general was arrested there.

VAST RUSSIAN PROBLEM.

RUSSIAN TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY MUST BE GUARANTEED.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S VIEWS

WASHINGTON, January 23. President Wilson, in a note to M. Hymans, President of the League of Nations Council, expresses the opinion that the distressful situations in Armenia is only one detail of the vast Russian problem. The recent tragical events in Poland and the Crimea prove that armed invasion is not the way to bring peace to Russia. Obviously the struggling border States would not attack great Russia unless encouraged by a promise of support from stronger powers. He suggests a public solems agreement by the powers not to violate or to permit the violation of the territorial integrity of Russia as a sine qua non of any attempt to pacify Armenia and the other border States.

SPOILS OF WAR.

WHAT GERMANY HAS SURRENDERED TO THE ALLIES.

VALUE FIGURES DISAGREE.

PARIS January 22.

The Reparations Commission has issued a list of the goods handed over by Germany under the Peace Treaty up to December 31, including over 17,000,000 tons of coal, over 2,000,000 tons of steamers and other vessels, and 101 kilos of dyes and dyestuffs. Britain receives 1,476,000 tons of ships, 3,113,000 kilos of dyestuffs. France receives 3,172,000 and the United States, 300,000 kilos of dyestuffs. The Commission points out that the German valuation of the surrendered property exceeds the actual value and that there is a wide difference between the German figures and the estimate of the Commission with regard to many classes of surrendered goods.

FRANCE'S PATIENCE NOT WEAKNESS.

PARIS, January 21.

по

A. Havas message states: In a speech before the Chamber of Deputies, the French Premier, taking up the question of reparations, pointed out that France, after two years, is,still waiting for payment. France's patience should not be interpreted as weakness, yet France, bas intention of using force before

exhausting all other means. The Allies will examine Germany's present financial possibilities- The Government knows that immediate results are possible and will insist upon getting them.

The Allies have a right to see whether Germany really does her utmost and conceals nothing. Union among the Allies, is, however, necessary to prevent Germany from escaping part of payment.

BRITISH SUBMARINE DISASTER.

SIX OFFICERS AND FIFTY-ONE MEN LOST.

WRECKAGE FOUND,

LONDON, January 23,

The Admiralty announces that six officers and 51 men were lost on the K5 (the loss of which in Arosa Bay is reported in our earlier cables). It is unofficially surmised that the submarine struck a submerged obstruction created during the war or a rock at the sea bottom.

Loybox, January 2ad. ots British naval accident since the war, still lacks explanation.

The Admiralty denies the ramming theory- The depth of the water was 600 feet in Arosa Bay where the vessel was lost. Therefore, salvage is not unlikely.

It is interesting to recall that the divulgation of the specifications of the I type after the war created astonish- ment particularly in Germany, upsetting the belief that the Deutseland type of U-boat was the pioneer, whereas the X' are of 30 tons and were constructed before the Deutschland.

The situation is still precarious. The debt is estimated at £5,000,000 due to the non-payment of military and civil officials and other liabilities for the past three months..
