REPORTS ON GERMAN DISARMAMENT Some relief is promised in reduced cost of living except in the price of food,- which rose steadily during 1920. With industry hard hit and a million jobless, merchants who had been hold- ing commodities for high prices are expected to continue to dump their goods at a loss. This has caused slight reductions during the latter weeks of the old year. As the year opens, the Lloyd George Government apparently is maintaining a firm hold and there is little evidence that any of the many small factions in Parliament, either separately or in concerted action, are able to defeat the Cabinet and force general elections. The Cabinet Ministers, as they pass between their offices and Parliament, see evidence of unrest. Strong~polieed barricades stil‘l obstruct the approach- es to Government buildings and the huge iron gates at the entrances to some official] buildings are kept closed. This is done, the Government announ- ced, because it feared a Sinn Fein out- break, but it is known also that it con- sidered the ill effect Bolshevik agita- tors might have on the restive minds of the unemployed. While the Government is being seriously pressed on one side to cease enormous expenditure it is besieged on the other with demands for un- employment funds, cash for housing schemes and other post-war expendi- tures, with a result that there is little likelihood of reduction in the burden- some taxation. the opinion 'that the new mercantile marine of the United States is likely to bring up a. question of adroit dip- lomacy and point to Secretary Dan- iels’ announcement of a big naval pro- gram as the forerunner for shipping differences.

He was succeed- ed in the office by Dr. George Mich- aelis, an appointee of the former Kaiser. It was said that von Beth- mann-Hollweg was forced out of of- fice through the efforts of the militar- i‘sts, headed by Hindenburg and Ludendorfl', largely because of his “scrap of paper" statement and his admission that the German invasion of Belgium was unjust. Dr. Theobald von Bethmann- Hollweg, Originator of Famous Phrase Berlin, Jan. 2.~DI‘. Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, former German Imperial Chancellor, died last night after a brief illness, on his estate at Hohenfinow, near Berlin. The fight assumed the character of guerrilla warfare all along- thelline. The legionaries took advantage of the natural resources of the terrain for laying ambfiscades. vaie Settlement of the Fiume question based on recognition of the Treaty of Rapallo, disbandment of D’Annun- zio’s legionaries and a general am- nesty was expected following receipt of late advices from the blockaded area. A description of the last phases of the struggle in Fiume, received here, shows that the legionaries reopened fire against the troops who were merely holding the positions they had taken Monday night. A despatch from Rome says:â€" D’Annunzio has issued a proclamation declaring that it is not worth while dying for Italy. He said he was leav- ing Flume by airplane. This was semiâ€"officially announced here on Wednesday afternoon, to- gether with the announcement that the Fiume agreement may be regardâ€" ed as concluded. The ans/pension of hostilities, pre- viously ordered, has been prolonged. Negotiations for surrender are pro- ceeding with the Municipal Council of Fiume, to which D'Annunzio has ceded his power. “SCRAP OF PAPER” CHANCELLOR DEAD FEUME STRUGGLE cams TO AN END V f _ POET SOLDIER RETIRES FRGM HELD D’Annunzio Gives Up Fight, Leaving City by Airplaneâ€" Disbandment of His Legionaries and a.

Retailers with cash have been able to buy stocks at ridiculously low prices and cer- tain classes of hosiery and silk goods are down to 1913 quota- tions. Men’s suits are being sold to-day for fifty shillings and boots for thirty shillings. The question in the minds of many business men, ‘have the people got the money to buy?” seems to be answered in the affirmative by the record crowds at the ear- ly bargain sales. A despatch from London says:~ The report of General Strickland, in charge of the British military foi'ces, definitely places the responsibility for the burning 9f the Cork City Hall and the group of adjacent buildings upon the Black and Tans as reprisals for Sinn Fein ambushes. The legionaries ultimately tried to force the regulars to retreat in order to relieve pressure on the city, but failed owing to the stubborn resist- ance, especially of the Carabineers and Alpine troops, who fought cour- ageoust for more than three hours. The points where the struggle was the bitterest, near the railway station, and inside the Flume cemetery, were virtually destroyed. The Government has the report, and although it is not yet published. it is known that the report says that two or three Black and Tans who were sufâ€" ferers from or friends of victims of the Dillon’s Cross and other ambushes, started the first of the Cork fires with petrol cans. The looting has been at- tributed to the ruffians of the city. Testimony was brought out that there is in existence at Cork an anti- Sintx Fein society composed of the ex- As the regulars were advancing across orchards they were enveloped by fire from machine guns which had been sunk to the level of the ground and cleverly camouflaged. The gravest losses were inflicted by hand grenades, which were used so freely as to give the impression that they must have been accumulated by scores of thousands. It would have been an easy matter to get the better of the legionaries by employing artil- lery, but the military authorities re- fused such recourse, except against military buildings. London Prices on The houses seemed to have been abandoned, but when the troops ap- proached, the legionaries, hidden behind Windows, behind chimney- stacks and on balconies and roofs, suddenly opened fire.

All Ireland is sick of the struggle, and will welcome the prospect for peace. The outlook is now more favoréNe than it has been for many months.” While in London General Macready‘ also reported that the campaign of repression against Sinri' Feiniem is succeeding, and urged the Govern- ment to suspend all peace overtures until the “firm policy” has rendered the acceptance of Home Rule by the' south-west possible. It is believed that the elections for! the Dublin and Belfast Parliaments will be held not later than June, al- though the date is entirely dependent upon the result of General Macready’s efforts to crush the movement of the independents.
