DAY MORE MUSH- CAN YOU BEAT THAT BIRD FOR SOFT STUFFR

A message from Duesseldorf says that at a meeting of the Execu tive of the Communist Workers' Council held at Essen by permission of the French authorities, it was decided to extend the strike move- ment throughout Westphalia and the right bank of the Rhine.

A confict wherein fire and water contested superiority, as humanly employed weapons, occurred at Bochum. Two were killed and 33 wounded' in the course of the struggle.

The

Communist strikers besieged the quarters of the Fire Brigade. the only available defence force in town, and demanded the sur reader of arms. The Brigade men refused, whereupon the Com munists launched an offensive with revolvers and bricks. fremed enrgetically responded, playing their hose on the attackers. but the streams of water did not suffice to extinguishe the latters' pugnacity. The firemen consequently resorted revolvers and Gnally made a sortie and drove off the mob, taking Afteen prisoners. same hours later it was reported that the strikers occupied the Brigade headquarters, but did not molest the fremen.

Berlin, May 27.

The strike movement in the Rahr has apparently somewhat abated. The only new disorders reported were at Essen, where the butchers were compelled to lower the price of meat. The absence of police prote. tion in the Ruhr, due to expulsion by the French. greatly complicates matters. The Occupation Authorities have. been requested to relax their attitude hereanart.

A semi-official statement complains that the Inter-Allied Rhine- land Commission has forbidden Roechling, a member of the Saar Landesrat, to enter occupied territory en route to Geneva to lay the alleged grievances of the Saar inhabitants before the League of Nations.

The death sentence passed on the German railwayman Schlaegete- by a French Court Martial a month ago has been executed by shooting.

Paris, May 26.

An interesting passage in M. Poincare's statement on the secret commission, mentioned on May 17th, was revealed last evening in the debate in the Chamber by Deputy Herrict, who expressed satisfaction with ML. Poincare's declaration on that occasion to the effect that the Government was considering the possibility of the evacuation of the Ruhr when Germany gave tangible guarantees to free herself by international loan and not waiting actual payment of reparations. M. Poincare agreed he was correctly quoted

The German Deputy Hollein has been released.

GREECE AND TURKEY.

London, May 26.

A critical situation has arisen at Lausanne in consequence of Graeco-Turkish disagreement over the question of reparations. The Greeks refused the Turkish demand for an indemnity and offered to cede strip of territory to Turkey to facilitate direct Turko-Bulgarian railway communication. Hitherto the Turks have not been inclined to agree. The seriousness of the situation is accentuated by the pre- sence of five Greek divisions between Makri and Maritzs. The Greek Government is calling up further troops. Both sides are uttering threats.

It is reported from Malta that the whole British, Mediterranean Fleet was recently concentrated in Turkish waters.

Lausanne, May 26.

The conciliatoriness of the Turkish delegate Rizanar at to-day's Political Committee and the absence of irritation as between the Torks and Greeks are regarded as a brighter augury. A number of questions, including the establishment of foreigners in Turkey, were settled most amicably.

Later.

The dispute as regards Greece's reparations liabilities to Turkey, which reached an acute stage, was satisfactorily settled at a confer- ence this afternoon between the Allies and the disputants. The set- tlement is based on the cession to Turkey of the Karagatch triangle as reparations. Details remain to be considered.

The Graeco-Turkish treaty will contain Greek recognition of responsibility for damage done in Asia Minor, while Turkey. in view of Greece's financial position, will renounce her reparation claim. The Karagatch triangle to be ceded includes the town and the railway between Karagatch and the Bolgarian frontier. There will be mutual restitution of ships captured since the Mudros armistice. M. Venizelos and Ismet Pasha shook hands at the con-

lusion of the negotiations.

EXPECTED.

CAMPAIGN FOR OPIUM SUPPRESSION/

Gengva, May 26. Mr. ChaoHsin-chu supported Sir Leslie Porter's, pro- posals for restricting opium to medical and scientide, use, whilst Sir (?) Campbell, of India, and also the Japaness delegats dia- agreed, with the American interpretation of the Hague Convention. Sir Halsohn Delevingue, representing Britain, declared that Britain was ready to take part in a campaign for gradually suppressing opium and decreasing the production. M. Bourgeois for France contended that, according to the Hague Convention, the censumption of opium In any form was legitimate in all countries which had not absolutely forbidden it. Therefore it was not only the medical use of opium which ought to be considered legal.

* Geneva, May 27, The Opium Commission has appointed a sub-committee com- posed of British, Japanese, and American delegates, to maka an enquiry into discrepancies in the statistics of opium importations furnished by Japan on the one band and Britain and America on the other. The Commission adopted a résolution moved by Sir John Jordan with the object of publishing information concerning the opium traffic.

Turkey has authorised a statement that she intends to incer- porate the Hague Convention in the Pesce Treaty.

U.S. PROHIBITION RULING.

Washington, May 26.

The British Embassy has presented to the State Department a statement contending that under international law, American jurisdic- tion only extends to cargo destined for importation to the United States.

It in cowiss permits interference with either, the physical mechanism, rations or stores of foreign vessels in American porta. The foregoing conflicts with the Supreme Court's liquor decision, but it is understood that the State Department has found means for reconciliation by permitting foreign vessels to list wine rations ax. part of the medical stores.

.

In addition to the British and Spanish written representations, as regards enforcement of prohibítion en ships, three other Govern- ments have orally drawn attention to the "inconvenience” which will be caused to their commerce.

The three Governments are France, Italy and Holland.

AMERICA'S NAVAL DEFENCE.

New York, May. 26.

Mr. Denby, Secretary for the Navy, speaking at the Naval Wär College at Newport, declared that the American Nary must be kept ready for defence "in a world"full of menace." Congress would be asked text session for the additional cruisers allowed under the Limitation of ‘Armaments Treaty; also additional light- draft gunboats, submarines and aeroplanes. He hoped the naval building appropriation would be kept within last year's limits.

MIXED

MARRIAGES.

Lendon, May 26. Bishop Lander, formerly of Hongkong (predecessor of the present Bishop of Victória) has seat a message to the Clergy of Liverpool, warning against the danger of marriages of Chinese. men with white women. He says that when such women are Soduced to travel to China they find themselves in an intolerable position. Many have to seek assistance to leave the country.

THE PEACE MAKERS.

Hamburg, May 26. The International Socialis: Congress, which has concluded, adopt- ed a number of resolutions protesting against the Allies driving the German people to arms, the Nationalists and Monarchista appealing to the German workers to resist to the utmost the sabotage of German capitalists who refuse sacrifices necessary to enable Germany.to meet her obligations, and protesting against the occupation of the Ruhr. The British delegates abstained from yoting on a resolution which pro- tested against attempts of "Imperialist Powers" to intervene in the internal affairs of Russia.

AMERICA AND GERMANY'S CASH PAYMENT.

Paris, May 26. The Allied-American agreement, mentioned on May 16th, bas been signed. It gives America priority for the first four years Over Germany's cash payments, after the payment of the cost of the Allied occupation. The remaining eight instalments have complete, priority.

DUTCH OIL TAXES.

Hague, May 27.
