LONDON, June E. Germany
haa failed in 13 conditions to com
ply with tl V disarmament require
ments or the Versailles treaty, de
clares the allied note to Germany,
the text of which waa given out
here tonight. In order to obtain
the evacuation of the Cologne
area, Germany must, among other
things suppress the present gen
eral ataff and reduce the number
of German police from 180,000
to 150,000.
The strength of the German
army must be reduced to 100,000
fighting men.
"The military character pre
sented today by the Germany se
curity police must entirely dis
appear," says the now.
The note demands alterations
of certain factories In order to
make impossible the manufacture
of war materials. All existing
munitions in excess of amounts to
be stated by the allied control
commission must be surrendered,
including spare parts for small
arms, bomb throwers, machine
guns, blank cartridges, also must
be surrendered.
Legislation must be enacted to
do away with short term enlist
ments In the Reichswehr, the
training of reserve cadets, mili
tary activities of associations and
the Import and the export of war
material. The note soeclfle the
I following aa Germany's defaults.
Organization of police, failure
to carry out certain required de
struction and transformations of
factories and workshops, delive
ries of certain surplus war mate
rials and failure to change the
organization of the German army
aa laid down by the Versailles
treaty: failure to regulate recruit
ing and military training, and
failure to control the Import and
export of war material.
Germany has also defaulted In
the possession of and traffic in,
and In the illicit manufacture of
war materials: she has engaged
In wrongful activitlea In the for
bidden zone and has failed to
comply with war requisitions.

SHANGHAI, June 5. A force of
American sailors-with bayonetted
rlflea herding a number of cows
down the ancient Nanking road to
an abbatoir; American women
combining households when their
trusted Chinese servants shuffled
away: foreign society women be
coming telephone operators and

ment: this was the picture pre
sented in Shanghai today aa the
celestial city settled down to a.
seemingly grim struggle the Oc
cident against the Orient while
Chinese strikers attempted with
out outward disorder to disrupt
foreign activitlea In a campaign
calculated to starve out and drive
out foreigners.
Money changers In the streets
refused to take foreign bank notes.
Chinese banka are closing and the
cash supply la disappearing rapid
ly. The strike of Chinese workers
continued to spread today. A
tense situation loomed in the
.French concessions where thous
ands of students meandered peace
fully, wearing consplclous mourn
ing bands, while alert policemen
and French officers, heavily armedi
were patrolling the main thorough
fares. Many meetings were held across
the boundary from the French con
cession, in Chinese territory, but
only petty outbreaks were report
ed. Sharp distinctions were empha
sized by Chinese In favoring
American firms and homes, al
though all forelgnera were disfav
ored, particularly the British and
Japanese. Those Chinese shops
doing business refused the patron
age of British customers while fav
oring Americana.
Mrs. Milton Purdy, wife of a
Judge of the United Statea court
here, and the wife of Counsel-Gen-eal
Cunningham combined house
hold forces for the emergency to
day, whl'e the servants in their

Many of the Chinese servants
remain loyal however. Some old
servants have remained with their
masters despite death threata In

Chinese territory. Threata have
been vloced directly by atudent
canvassers.

square off tonight at the Polo

Tha arrest of Broom la a be

celebrated cases In the circuit
court here over two yeara ago
which broke up a bootlaggtng ring
at Reedsport. The Inner circle of
the ring consisted of Jack Con

Schulte. ex-constable; Jack Ro

Burnett and Broom, the laat nam
ed being Implicated at the trial
