Norwick Bulletin VOL. LXIV—No. 281 ~OPULATION 29,685 ALLIED POWERS HAVE CALLED A HALT - ON MILITARY ACTIVITES IN GERMANY Have Suspended All Questions Concerning the Withdrawal of the Military Control Commission in Germany, Pend- ing Fullest Satisfaction of Flagrant Violations of the Mili- tary Clauses of the Treaty of Versailles Committed Dur- ing the*Past Six Months—Allies Decide to Warn Ger- many That She Will Not New War Inventions—Allied Powers Term German Note as “Insolent to a Degree”, and Have Demanded an Apology—French and Italian Deputies Vote Confidence in Their Premiers. Paris, Nov. 17.—(By The A. P.)—The ailled powers through the council of ant- bassadors have informed Germany that all questions concerning the withdrawal of the military control commission in Germany have been suspended until the German, government gives the fullest sat- isfactlon for what are termed flagrant violations of the military clauses of the treaty of Versailles, committed during the past six months, and shown willing- ness to abide by the commission's in- structions. The note of the allies was sent after the rectipt of a German communication on the subject which was termed “inso- lent to a degree” In this communica- tion Germany is sald to have disregard- cd totally the long Series of notes of complaint sent by the allies and to have declared that she was glad to learn the allies were about to end their mili- tary control and permit Germany to revert to normal. ¥ The note also ignored formal allied ropresentation to the Berlin government of September 29, consequent on the large number of acts of aggression against the allied military in thelr “work of inspec- tion." The allied note of today demands an spofogy and, reparations for recent in- ents at Passau and Stettin. questing an immediate reply the allies my their patience is about exhausted. The council of ambassadors also is making another demand for the German naval enlistment list, which his been re- peatedlly refused them during the last six months. 1s is said the allies sus- pect that Germany is exceeding her gquots of enlistments and violating the “onditions of training provided for in the peace treaty. A decision has been reached by the al- lies to warn Germany that she will not s permitted to manufacture 'new war mventions in which she at presnet is wmid to be actively engaged. The ailies snnot prevent study or cxperiments of such inventions, but it is assertedithey will prohibit the making of them. TRENCH CHAMBER VOTES CONFIDENCE IN POINCARE Paris, Nov. 17 (By the A. P.).—The shambar of deputies this evening gave,. vots of confidence o Premier Poincire on the eve of the Lausanmo peace confer- ence and after a.month of intermittent debate on the interior and exterior poli-, sies of his government, The vote was 482 to 71 The emtire chamber, cxcepting the ex- remists on both sides and the commun- sts, socialists and royalists, voted in fa- ror of the government. The debate, however, was left unfinish- 'd, being merely adjorned for another [ nonth in order to leave the premier free © ocoupy himself with the Lausanne con- ‘erence. M. Poincaro virtually gave notice that \ final agreement on reparations must :ome out of the Brussels conference in December or France would take her own neasures. He sald categorically thers swould be no reduction of the French ihare of German reparations unless it was in-the form of a transfer of part of Germany's debt to France to the creditors of France, and that there could be no moratorium without effective guarantees. Theso declarations drew applause from the whole chamber only the socialists and communists abstaining. H Just before the vote was taken th de- bate became rather violent, with clash- s between the royalists and communists aud_between former Premier Briand and Leof Daudet, editor of L'Action Fran cals. Such an uprogr developed that the president had to suspend the session twice. ' MUSSOLINI HAS CONFIDENCE OF ITALIAN DEPUTIES Tome, Nov. 17—(By the A. P.)—The Jtalian chamber of deputies late tonight by a etrong vpte of con§dence given the new government of Benito Mussolind, the fasejsti feader, placed tho sea ot legality upen & movement w”h three weeks ago was considered by the then ruling au- thoritids as rebellion and revolution. The vole was 306 to 118. Mussolini conquerod the chamber with the same methods by which he led his fascist! legions into Rome. As the dep- uties scattered into the night after an elght hour séssion of the chamber there wefe many of them, even those who had voted for the premier, who ~asked one nother, ‘Will he prova to be a Sylja, a Cromwell or a Napoleon?” b Prior to the debats it had been an- fiounced by Mussolini that he would al- low only eleven deputies—one from each gfoup (o address the chamber. - Fifty- thtee members had desired to be heard. Hafdly had the eleventh man conclud, ed when. the premier sprang to his feet PR fhetriag 1o lateepitiatery & the long session there wero fre- quent verbal clashes between the soclal- ists and members of the fascistl The excitement at times was intense, At one juncturé the deputies became so violent that the speaker threatened to tender his jon.

ABSORBING THE BRITONS London, Nov. 17 (By 'the A. P.).—Now that the elections battle has ended; inter-, est turns rather on the future fortunes, first, of David Lioyd George, whose star. is temporarily cclipsed, and, second,” of the labor party, than on that of the new conservative government.' Until the new parliament is shaken down--the . exact ‘strength of Premier Bonar Law’s actual majority will not be known, but it probably will be about 80 votes, which constitutes a good working majority and renders the oconservatives completely independent of help from. amy other guarters. Tho government supporters no longet will want even co-operation . from the. Georgeite liberals, and, although much was heard in tke election campaign about possible pacts and co-operation when there was fear that no single group would be returned of sufficient strength to "govern alone, it is safe to say that | nothing more will be heard of such co- operation and that Lloyd George's, small remaining group will be left entirely to its own resources. It already is evident that the former premier does not intend to be idle. He has taken up permanent political head- quarters in London for himself and his chief supporters. Lord Birkenhead, Win- ston Spencer Churchill and others who form a .brilliant . group. Mr. Churchill will not long be without a seat in par- liament. The labor party is preparing to make an energetic opposition in the house of commons. With the exception of Arthur Henderson, the labor party now has in parlaiment its most able leaders, includ- ing J. Ramsay MacDonald. Philip Snow- den and Sidney Webb, together with two important kinz's counsei, Messrs. Hast- ings and Hemmerde, and may be ex- pected to give account of itself in the new parliament. The session of parliament beginning next Monday will be brief and devoted entirely to Irish legislation. An analysie of the voting in the elec- tions proves that although the conserva- tives have been returned in much strength in the number of seats won, their party poll was in the minority. Their total vote in the contested elections were ape proximately 5,300,000; while the combined vote of the independeut, liberz! and labor parties was approximately seven million. This arosé feom the fact that there were se mpany three-cornered contests and split votes. be Permitted to Manufacture stabllization and rehabilitation had been listened to by the deputies. Mussolini jumped into the breach as soon as eleven orators—one for each group in the chamber—had been heard and rose amid protound silence. “I come from the proletariat and have known the hardships and the near starva- llr;: of the poor emigrant,” the premler said, “Wo do not intend to follow a policy of servitude to, the bourgoisie classes, but it shall draw a sharp distinction be- tween the bourbeoisie which works and produces, which we cannot yet do with_ out, and the parasite bougeoisie. In fact Russia, after having physically destroyed the bourgeolsle, now is trying to create another one.” - The. minorlty vote of 116 came from soclalist, communist and republican dep- uties ‘and a few gadherents of former Premier Nittl. Seven German Slavs ab- stained from voting. The remainder of the chamber balloted solidly in favor ot the ggvernment. Hardly had the vots been recorded when Minister of the Treasury Tangorra introduced & bill asking full power from the chamber to enforce the fiscal reforms which had been decided upon. The depu~ tles, by & show of hands, favored the re- quest. The bill will be referred to a committee of nine to be appointed tomor- ro wanl will become law in a few days Premier Mussolini will start for Switzerland tomorrow night ‘to mect Premier Poincare, of France and Foreign Secretary Curzon of Great Britain near TLake Geneva and dlscuss the Lausanne conference.
