REPORTS OF SERIOUS TROUBLE IN SOUTH AFRICA Similar to Those in Ireland in 1916— Attributed to German Intrigue. London, July 5.—Reports of serious trouble in South Africa which have been current for the past weelk were given their first official confirmation today by the publication of a state- ment issued on Tuesday by Premier Botha of the Union of South Africa, This describes the disturbances there as presenting features similar to those in Ireland in 1916 and attributes them to German intrigue. Premier Botha says that it is not in ithe publi cinterest to publish the de- tails and refers to prompt and effec- tive military and police measures. The only facts published heratofore have heen of serious strikes natives, and other elements there. South Africans here were at first in- | clined to connect the Nationalist par- ty. which is demanding a republic, with any politic2l or anti-zovernment movement, but General Hertzog, the Jeader of that party, recently an- nounced that the organization must fol'ow constitutional methods, which umounted to a retraction of his previ- cus policy. The importance of strikes by na- tives is that it is a new move with them and has ‘German agents, and probably German money, behind Only a fraction of the na tion has shown seditiouns and it is helieved that the influence of loval educated mnatives is etting the upper hand.

Secretary Daniels today issued this confidential note to editors: “The appearance of submarines on the Atlantic coast makes it imperative that no mention should be made in any newspapers, either in the adver- tising or news columns, or the sailing or departure, or location or supposed location, of any ship in American information conveyed by vertising is as dangerous as is news columns, and I am making request of all the newspapers in the country in the assurance that they will co-operate with the government in its efforts to prevent any information about ships reaching submarines which may be off the American coast.” ad- the this RUSSIAN SOVIETS WANT STRONG ARMY Trotzky and Lenine Are at Work on the Plans. Moscow, June 28.—The international situation of the Russian Soviet repub- lic is such that only a powerful army on the basis of obligatory service can protect it, in the opinion of Leon Trot- zky, commissioner of war and marine. He 'has submitted a report advocating universal military service for the bourgeoisie as well as the workmen and peasants, and hopes that the fiftn consress of Soviets will pass such a measure. Premier Lenine has ap- proved the report, and the details are beinz worked out, In the meantime. Trotzky has or- dered the registration of all males be- tween the ages.of ninetee nand forty, and the enlistment simultaneously with the workmen of the bourgeois classes born in 1896 and 1897.

Fiostiie Attitude of Finland. ¢ is heing encountered in reliable official informa- | ng the conditions in the c province of Archangel, which is Tarticuiarly exasperating to the offi- cials because of ihe unofficial reports that reach Washington of the hostile | attitude of the Finns, said to be re- | enforced by German soldlers. Tt i realized that considerable Finnish- German forces easily could sieze strategic points on the railroad run- ninz south from Archangel and Kola to Vologda and indeed it is sald that already the invaders have arrived at Kim, an important town on this road near the southern end of the White Sea. A successful movement of this kind might defeat any entente plan to send a military force into central Rus- sia from the north. Aithough as long as the entente fleet is able to navi- gate in'the Arctic the little force of sailors and marines at Koia and vi- cinity would be safely supported, the advent of water probably would maxe it necessary to withdraw which otherwise would be cut off from | supplies and assistance.
