[The army of von der Goltz has been in evidence in tho Baltic States ever since the signature of the Pence Treaty, wlrch specifically provided for tho immediate withdrawal of enemy forces from all invaded territory. Repeated demands were mnde by the■ All'es for the. withdrawn! of ho forces, without avail. It was alleged irom time to time that von der Goltz'.had defied the authority of Berlin, but it was also declared that his apparent disobedience was more camouflage. The Gorman forces were also described as volunteers, who had been induced to serve, in the Baltic States by promises of land, and who refused to leave. Von der Goitz, after a series of messages hrwl been exchanged relative to the Allied demands, finally went to Berlin, but proceedings which were said to be pending against him> for his attitude havo not since boon heard of.
