GERMANS SEE PERIL
ON EASTERN BORDER
Strong Bolshevist Armies Men
ace in Prussia.
POLES REPORTED WARLIKE
Military Authority Is Actually in
Hands of Soldiers Council.
Xcgoliations Held futile.
BERLIN", Jan. 30. (By the Associated
Tress.) Thus Tageblatt. reviewing- the
situation on the eastern frontier, says:
"Strong Bolshevist armies stand be
fore the borders of Kastern Prussia, an
eruption of Poles threatens West Prus
sia, and that portion of West Prussia
"which is still in German hands is sub
ject to a renewed Polish menace, which
means that the province of Branden
burg is also in danger.
"Military authority, despite recent
decrees of the War Minister, is actually
in the hands of the soldiers' council,
which has not been able to decide on a.
united and purposeful action against
the Prussians, but, on the contrary, still
believes it can stop the enemy's ad
vance toward our borders by negotia
tions." BASEL,, Friday, Jan. 31. The arrest
of Admiral Schroeder and Captains
ICoester and Regrner, of the German
navy, has been requested by the cen
tral committee of sailors at Hamburg.
The officers are accused of being re
sponsible for the execution of two sail
ors, despite the general amnesty order.
Admiral Scliroeder otorloiia.
' Admiral Schroeder became notorious
when he ordered the execution of Cap
tain Charles Fryatt. "
BERLIN, Friday, Jan. 31. (By the
Associated Press.) An order issued by
t'olonel Reinhardt, Prussian Minister of
War, has aroused open revolts on the
part of soldiers' councils in the Ger
man armies. The council of the ninth
army has declared htat it will not obey
the order, and has been informed that
the government will find means to en
force It.
The order of Colonel Reinhardt con
cerns a lessening of the authority of
the sollicrs' councils.
opposing views on this question will f
be presented in three prepared ad- J.
ureases, after which the subject will I
be thrown open for general discussion
oy the. delegates present.
- Another session- will-b devoted to
discussing how far the railroads should
be -permitted to-go in -reducing -rates
to meetj water competition while main
taining hiKher rates-to inland points.
The railways insist -that "unless' they
are allowed -to meet the . water rates
ttie boats would carry all the traffic
between competing points, and the
waterway advocates jay- that it is cutthroat-competition
by railways which
has driven the boat lines out of busi
ness. Also there are people in inland
towns who say, "We pay taxes. for the
improvement of waterways which we
caji- not. personally use and then pay
the railroads from five- to 1j times as
much per -tern per mile as. they charge
the people who live on those water
ways. Where is' the justice in that?"
Their - question - .promises -to develop
some interesting debate.
Some time ago in a report made by
a board of Army engineers, it was
recommended that waterways as well
as railways should be placed under con
trol of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which should have power to
fix both maximum and minimum rates.
When it was proposed that the Ship
ping Board should be given a control
of water transportation similar to that
exercised over railways by the Inter
state Commerce Commission the steam
boat men made such a vigorous fight
that the meajsure was defeated. It is
safe to say that a lot of them will
be on hand at the convention to oppose
the present proposition. This question
will be brought before the. convention
in an address by Major-CJeneral Wil
liam M. Black, chief of engineers.
The Administration will be repre
sented by three members of the Cabi
net. Secretary of War Baker. Secretary-
of the Navy Uajiiels and Secre
tary of Commerce licdfield.

Article In French Weekly Tells How
the lirand 'Duchess Charlotte
Was Placed on Throne.
BY WILLIAM COOK.
(CopyV'Kht. lln. by th "Sew -York World..
Published, by AmiiiKemenl.)
PARIS, Jan. 31. (Special.) Aux
Ecoutes. a French weekly publication,
prints a two-page story on the revo
lution in Luxemburg showing how the
Grand Duchess Charlotte was placed on
the throne. The story recalls the sur
prise created in France by the acces
sion of the Grand Duchess when a re
publican form of government was ex
pected, and says:
"But one ignores that which should
be told how this simple shifting of the i
ruling beads was the fault of the French i
troops of occupation. The restorer of a
German Grand Duchess, the person re
sponsible for the suppression of the
Luxemburg republic, Is General de la
Tour."
R-epresentati vea Dented Audience I
The French journal then goes on to
deift with the fact that the French cov
ernment evidently was not aware of
this French Interference, for it quotes
a Lux
pro-F
addressed by the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Pichon. to the Luxem
burg government, which read:
"The Fre
ceive rep
burg govc
place which practically spell a severance
of diplomatic relations. This is also tho
reason why M. Mollard has not re
turned to his post. I must add, however,
that the Luxemburg people have all our
sympathy.'.'
Then the Aux Ecoutes relates the
story of the Luxemburg revolution and
of the "French military intervention,"
which it resents.
Public Kiprrmilflit Prevented.
"On January 9 the Luxemburg people. :
who had interpreted Foreign .Minister j
Pichon s note as 'get rid of your Grand '
Duchess before we talk," paraded around j
the streets to shouts of 'Long live !
the republic' 'Long live France." while j
the Luxemburg House of Parliament i
met and 'called for the abdication of j
lie .Ittaaiiu-uliiKitlice tJ luioi nuu ui u-
clalmed the Luxemburg republic.
It was then an event, incredible to
the eyes of the French people, occurred, i
Acting upon instruction Issued by Gen
eral de la Tour, the soldiers of the
French 109th Regiment, billeted in Lux
emburg City, prevented the people from
expressing their sentiments in favor of
a republic." -
Scenea Are Discredited. ,
Aux Ecoutes then quotes from the
Francophile newspaper, L'Independcnce
Luxemburgoise, the name of which
proves it is to be a republican organ.
In an article discrediting the scenes of
January 9, this newspaper shows how
General de la Tour ordered his. men to
have the neighborhood of the Luxem
burg Parliament cleared 'of people and
that order be maintained In the streets,
and concludes by saying sarcastically:-'
"This, morning the situation, seems
to be the same. All the public build
ings, "the postofftce and the govern
ment offices are 'Occupied ty French
troops." .. -
On the following day the same news
paper told of how the inhabitants of
the neighboring villages were prevent
ed from getting into the center of. the
city. '.
" Soldiers Ashamed of Work.
VToday," says L'Independence, "thenol
diers of the 109th Regiment are ashamed
of the work they had to do. They, dare
not face the inhabitants, who had re
ceived them so well." .
Yet, on January 13, Premier Clemen
ceau's newspaper, L'Homme Libre, said
France could congratulate herself on
not having interfered in, Luxemburg's
Internal affairs. , "Finally," says Aux
Ecoutes, -"one reads in Luxemburg
newspapers under date of January 19. J
Their royal highnesses urand uucn-
esses. Mary Adelaide and Charlotte this 1
morning received tne memoers.oi me

'Thus -the.- uermanopnne . Adelaide, '
