THE ADLON HOTEL ROW

FEEBLE ATTEM.PT AT JUSTIFICA- - . '-, TION. (Rec.. March 12, 0.5 p.m.) Berlin,' March II) There .is. the 'utmost tens ; on at the inter-Ailied outrages. Apologising to. General Nollett, head, of the inter-Allied Cohnnissioii. and M. De Mnreilly, French Charge d'Affaircsi for the Adlon brutaL ity, Tlerr Muller attempted to justify; the attacks,.saving that everybody stood up.for the-.singing of- Hie .National An-, tliem' in, Allied countries. General Nollett drily replied that "Dcutschlarid J.'bei Alles" wa» not' the German National. Anthem.' He then, complained of a worse outrage, namely, an. attack on three Allied officers in. uniform visiting Preiizinn barracks, Branderibnrg, in connection with the demobilisation of the -German Army, when t.lie German .troops jeered, ihooted, ' arid pelted at the Allied officers who were inspecting the oamp' The conimkndant appeared with his staff at. the door of the'officers' quarters, arid ordered'the men to; fall-in, and the' promptness with' which the order was obeyed suggests that the men were not out of hand, hut that the outrage wlis secretly arranged by authority, Thp-' Conservatives and Pan-German* ■ are'working hard to fail the anti-Allied flnme'igiiiled'by Prince Joachim. It has ,been abundantly proved that'the Princs started the row at. tho, Adlon Hotel and led' the attack.' He was heard ; to shout "Bent' Ihe swine to death." Prince Joachira' pleads mistaken identity,/and thus contemptuously diamines the-' plea first drunk, then insolent, then cowardly. The; bandmaster" at the 'hotel, admits that Prince Jonchi-iiV'freauently'bribed yOunj? 'junkers'-' to '-play "fleufschktad Übor A lies"'.'in. 'the hope of starting a demon-' stration'.;

Tli'o Wer'mity- 'affray was the outcome of a 'party' of French : officers who were shooting! stringing out in a line and'beat-' ing'lip birds, when" all the inhabitants of Iho village rush'ed'and attacked them.It' transpires that' Naval Commender Nash ■awl Italian' and Japanese officers, were" the victims'of another outrage at. Bremen.'- 'They "Were /(surrounded by ayelling mob,' mostly civilians, who want-' ed ft)' throw'-tli/im into the dock. The. policfi -ivith'difficulty effected their rescue." ■ -■"The Tim'es."'
