ALLIES’ ULTIMATUM

PERPLEXITY IN BERLIN NO DECISION YET REACHED By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright Berlin, May 8. The political parties have not reached a decision regarding the ultimatum re- . ceivcd from the Allies. The Bavarian Premier has arrived, and declares that Bavaria is not willing to comply with the disarmament demands. The newspapers generally regard the ultimatum terms as being incapable of execution. Herr Stinnes’s organ, the "Allgemeine Zeitung,” declares that if the conditions ere accepted Germany engages to deliver all the rest of her capital. The "Berliner Tageblatt" thinks that the terms can be accepted if the occupation of Ruhr does not prevent financial obligations being carried out. The "Lokal Anzeiger" says that the Allies must put up a Communist Government to sign their ultimatum, as certainly no bourgeois German Government will sign it. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
