M. Poincare in a speech at the unveiling of a war memorial said ythat as regards the enquiry into Germany's present capacity to pay. he would emphasise France's determination to keep within the Treaty. The desirability of seeking realities beneath the rags and Egatters with which the Reich was camouḥaging itself was obrious, Bafore making payment, Germany must reform her finances and estore ber currency, and must put herself in a position to raise a reign loan. Whatever the decision of the German populations Bijth regard to their political future, France would render it forever hpossible that there be fresh aggression. France had no idea of propriating, directly or indirectly, any territory. She meant to Spect the freedom of the populations, but the argument that if a roup of inhabitants of Germany proclaimed this independence a vision of the Treaty of Versailles would naturally follow, appeared Sntrary to the principles of the rights of nations.

EFFECT OF MELBOURNE POLICE STRIKE

Melbourne, November 4.

A strike by 650 members of the Police, in consequence of a refusal by the Commissioner to remove supervisors who are accused | of spying methods, led to serious rioting. Trains were overturned | and shop-windows smashed. Many shops were looted. The damage] is estimated at over fifty thousand sterling. Hitherto there bave been two deaths. Fifty-fire arrests have been effected by loyal special police and bluejackets and some of the striking constables, who dispersed the crowds with batons, many rioters being injured. The Cabinet has appealed to all fit men of military age to enrol as special constables. It is reported that a mounted police force con- sisting of volunteers from the Australian Light Horse is being formed.

Melbourne, later.

Parties of military are now guarding the public buildings. Premier Lawson states that the Government has decided that it is Impossible to reinstate any of the strikers. They have been false so their oaths, and left the city at the mercy of the lawless ele- Fmments." It is announced that every conceivabla stap will be taken | to prevents recrudescence of the disorders. The Goverment in tends to raise a force of five thousand selected special constables.
