The department is handicapped, how ever, in that it .has no right to de mand such information and this gov ernment not having ratified the treaty canot exercise the right to veto an in terpretation of tl\e Commission’s pow ers such’as contained in th^ construc tion of article 235 mentioned above, \Nevertheless strong remonstrance has been .made and a further protest is-in preparation on the ground that the.assumption.and use of 'sucbpow- ers is prejudicial to general economic rcconstrustlon; 'oilers an opportunity to the . government’s . dominating, the Reparations Commission indirectly to exercise a dangerous controlling in fluence on private trade with Germany and incidentally is unwarranted by the terms of the treaty and contrary to the spirit If not the letter of the official in terpretation given Germany by the Al lied powers before the signing of the treaty. }■■ ( Result ia Doubt. ^*The,xesidt> of such protest is hard co predict as by the;, terms of the treaty the influence and power of a large part of the civilized world is concentrated behind a decision of the Reparation Commission and the., abso lute veto power specially provided, to the United States'■in such matters can 1 be exercised only if and when we rat ify the treaty.” Senator Henderson said the official interpretation referred 'to by Mr. Polk'was contained in formal notes exchanged between iGermany and the 'Allies in which the understanding was reached that the property of German citiiens in neutral countries could not be taken.-.

March 10.—All Germany, with the exception of the southern states, is rebellious, and Berlin is a “barrel of gun powder which may be ignited at any time,” sajrs a Berlin dis patch to the Exchange Telegraph Com pany, filed at the German capital yes terday. The dispatch describes the with drawal from Berlin of the Iron Divi sion aiad naval brigades, which marched down Under Der Lindota at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the midst of a pouring rain. Crowds, the majority of which were extremist rad ical workers, looked on .as company fite f company flle)d down the street iln Ole direction of the Brandenburg gate on their way to Doeberitz. “The _ soldiers marched to the ac companiment of drums and with Prus sian banners flying,” the message sai.d “They were armed, carrying their rifles ready to fire, and wtih their fin gers on the triggers. Their behaviour could not havei been more provocative. Workers -standing. bn the sidewalks seemed boiling with excitement, and none could understand why the troops had been, permitted to withdraw with out giving up their arms. Few be lieved they would keep their promise to disarm at Doeberitz. ‘ftlany soldiers smiled mockingly at the crowd as though saying ‘wait a while, we shall return.’ \From the Hoteil Adlon elegatatly dressed, women waved their handker chiefs. at the soldiers, this raising to a white heat the. anger, of the work ers.'.-They suddonlj;'made arush to ward'the hotel--and’ some/actually in -1 vaded the ■estibule v before being re paired by a strong detachment of se- curtiy troops guarding the allied mis sions at the hostelry. “Hardly had \the last soldier passed the 'Brandenburg gate when the rear guard turned 1 andf fired a volley into the cro^-d standing in the street Those.near-,the. middle of the roadway had no recourse but to fling them selves eta thef pavement. £long Under Der 'linden,: Somvn'erstrassq and Budr apesterstrasse, men started to run away. Matny of these were either killed or .wounded -during ,the firing which lasted for ’half a minute. Four dead and i 0 wounded were carried Sato the .Hotel Adlon. \Members of the Security Girards stationed at the -Brandenburg gate did not interfere during the firing, be ing few in number. “A little latar, near the Parliament building, a crowd of workers rusihed a detacbmentof Baltic troops who were ipassing end the latter began firing, the sounds of rifle fire mingling with the shrill cries and groans of the wounded. For a time -nil was chnos and pandemonium and it appears that in the confusion the soldiers here shot a number of their own men. The ex act number of those killed and wound ed could not be ascertained this eveto- ing. Twenty persons were killed in a subsequent clash at Charlottenburg, and a still -more serious encounter was reported from Kottzboen but no de tails arc at linmd.” Chaos in Berlin—Situ ation Clouded—Sov iet Stories Exagger ated—Casualties at Capital Coblenz, March 10.—(By the Asso ciated Press).—The Ebert govenn- ment will return from Stuttgart to Berlin on Saturday, it is learned. Tho National Assembly and the Prussian Diet have been convoked to meet in Berlin on Sunday. (By the Associated Press). • Berlin is still undar the rule of 'bayonets but troops loyal to the Ebert government patrol the streets. Forces which supported the regime set up last Saturday by Dr. Wolfgang Kapp and his followers left Benrlin yester day. Withdrawal of these soldiers, bowv evei*, left chaos behind, as the rear guard turned against jeering crowds In Unter Den Lindaa and flrad, many citizens being killed and scores wounded. More bloodshed occurred near the Parliament buildings, while in Charlottenburg and other suburbs o t thel city there were clashes which resulted in loss of life. ‘ W hile radical elements have ‘ not made organized attacks on the capital, economic conditions are described as eeriotis, ^ and .absolute disorder is\be lieved' to ‘reign in politics. - ’ T&eports frbin' Germany J.outside . of Berlin are of 'such,a charoter'-that 1 ,a clear view of the situation is hard to obtain at present.

Wheelwright and Sorger also told the assistant district attorney that Com missioner Porter asked, them to “tor* get all about it and I ’ll protect you as long as I am in the department.” Later, they said, Porter sent for them and repeated the request that they say nothing about the matter to anyone. Notwithstanding this, however, they said, they considered it ‘‘their duty to tell the story to Inspector Mc-Donald, our commanding officer.” In some way the story “got out” and the commissioner was “joshed,' about it,” they said. When the commissioner sent for them again he told Wheelwright and Sorgar that he himself had narrated the “whole story\ ^ to -'Police Commis sioner Enright.
