EARLIER TELEGRAMS

AFFAIRS IN GERMANY,

LIVELY FIGHTING IN BERLIN.

FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1919.

GENERAL NEWS.

Copenhagen, March 13

A message from Berlin, dated March 1, says that Gor- ernment troops occupied the east end of the city, including the subarb of Lichtenberg after lively fighting. A con siderable quantity of arms was captured. The losses in Government troops were not heary. Cases of bestial cruelty by the Spartacists are fully confirmed.

SPARTACIST REQUEST FOR PEACE.

Bale, March 13. A message from Berlin says: Replying to the Spartacist request for peace Herr Noske demanded unconditional snr- render of all Spartacist arms. Berlin newspapers state that hitherto 1,30 Spartacists have been arrested

A message from Weimar says: During the debate in the.. National Assembly on the Nationalisation Bill the Socialist Herr Aurs moved an amendment rejecting the State obligation to indemnify expropriated owners. It was defeated by 163 to 125. The minority was composed entirely of Socialista.

SERIOUS SITUATION AT ODESSA.

London, March 13.

Reuter learns, that the situation in Odesss is very un- pleasant. The Bolsheviks are carrying on intense propagan da among Allied troops General Gregorieff, the Bolshevik Commander, with 2,000 troops is in torch with the Germans at Nicolaieff who are too demoralised to resist them. Three thousand other Bolshevik troops are in the rear of Gregorie!! at Dolinsk. These troops are apparently the advance-guard of a large Bolshevik force at Alexandrija, Two Bolshevik armoured trains are shelling Kherson.

FIGHTING ON ARCHANGEL FRONT.

The "Frankfurter Zeitung's" Weimar correspondent an- thoritatively learns that the German delegation to the Peace Conference will consist of Count Brockford Bantzan, the President; Doctor David, Minister without Portfolio: Hers Giesberts, Minister of Posts, also a Ham- barg merchant, Herr Max Warburg.

"APPALLING HOUSING."

"I have been appalled at the housing conditions in the grest cities here," said Miss Mary Me Dowell (who is inquiring int the industrial conditions of the women of England on behalf of the American Department of Labour); in an interview recent- ly: "The housing conditions in Bote American cities are not good, but there is hardly a work- man in America, except perhaps those of the poorer alien class, who has not four rooms. Here, according to the figures with which I have been supplied, there are still several thousand families each living in one room. I have nowhere seen the moral tone of. the women of this country better reflected than in the WAA.C.& Out of 50,000 women in that corps, the proportion who had to be sent home was about 4 per 1,000." Miss. McDowell deo- cribed this country as being in many respects more democratic than America. She was, how- ever, of opinion that it was a mistake to give the vote to women of middle age and not to those of 21.

Plaintiff alleged that Barker, who was in Sweeney's employ, in order to get possession, for a certain Major X" of letters in the possession of Miss Marsh, resident in Mrs. Rotten's house, where plaintiff was employed, represented that he was detective from Scotland.

Mr. Cecil Hayes for Sweeney, mentioned that "Major X", died a month ago, and asked for judg ment for Sweeney on the ground that there was no evidence on which the jury could find their answer to one question which had been put to them.

Detective Thomp son said the accused had pre- viously stayed at the botel, and always paid his accounts. The prisoner had informed "witness that he was heir to a large pro perty, and, like his father, had beon a Russian officer, and twice! wounded His father, three. uncles; and himself were seized by Bolsheviks and interned in the Fortress of St. Peter and Paul, he alone escaping death by the influence of a friend. All his male relatives had been murdered by Bolsheviks The accused said he had property in France, in- cluding a villa at Nice.
