y PLAYING WITH FIRE. German Dilly-Dally. "A CRIMINAL GAME" I VERSAILLES, Thursday. I The whole day yesterday the German delegation was in telegraphic communica- tion with the Government in Berlin, and kept informed of the difficulties encoun- tered by Premier Bauer, who summoned both the present and former members of the Cabinet, as well as members of Count Biockdorff-liantzau's mission, in order to appoint a delegation to sign the Treaty. After three meetings three persons con- sented to be included in the delegation. At 6 p.m., however, a wireless message was received stating that the delegation had not been completed. A CRIMINAL GAME." I Prussian Socialist's Protest and I Warning. Berlin, Wednesday (received Thursday). —Interpellating the Prussian Govern- ment in the Prussian National Assembly on its opposition to the signing of the Peace Treaty, the Independent Socialist, Adlof Hoffmann, made a violent attack on the Government in connection with its general policy. lie said, incidentally, that it was a criminal game which was being played in the East, for a collision in the East would be regarded by the Entente as a breach of the Peace Treaty and then the people would have to bear the consequences. You are playing with fire," the De- puty exclaimed. The proletariat and the majority of the people object to the dictatorship of this Government. Do not wonder if it now itself desires to assume the dictatorship so as to bring about rider." The speaker read extracts from numer- ou. leaflets with the object of showing that an attempt was being made to estab- lish a military dictatorship. Replying to this attack the Premier, Herr Hirsch, termed Hoffmann's charges as gross exaggerations and declared that while he -was at first on his return from Weimar resolved to propose the resigna- tion of the entire Cabinet, this interpel- lation had made him change his mind, and the Ministry's further decision would depend on the result of the present de- bate HINDENBURG'S FAREWELL. Copenhagen, Wednesday (received Thursday).—A telegram from Holberg (Pomerania says that, resigning the sup- reme oommand, Field Mar6hal Von Hin- dc-nburg has issued a farewell message to le troops, expressing his thank's to all officers and men, and admonishing to fur- ther united labour for the welfare of the German Fatherland. G#»eral Groner, wjbg lafcqtn t^dored his resignation as CniBf of the General Staff, in consequence of the unconditional aooeptiance of the Peace Treaty, has de- clared his readiness to remain at his post until matters in the East are settled. WHO WILL SIGN? Berlin, Wednesday.—The Berliner Tageblatt" learns that Herr Hermann Mueller, the new Minister for Foreign Affairs, has declined to go to Versailles to sign the Peace Treaty. The Cabinet, the journal adds, will this afternoon try to find suitable persons willing to undertake the task. Herr Erzberger, it is stated, does not wish-, to undertake the njission.-Reuter. [Mueller has good reason to hesitate. At the end of July, 1914, he made a special journey to France to assure the French Socialists that the Social Democrat De puties in the Reichstag would not vote war credits. That promise was broken a week later.] SPECIAL TRAIN. I delegation Probably Settled I Atready. PARIS, Thursday. I Writing, in Le Matin," M. St. Borice says:— Abeix p.m. yesterday Von Lefden had an interview with Col. Henry, in which the latter gave instructions for the special train with which the German Delegation will arrive. We have, there- fore, reason to suppose that the composi- tion of the delegation has already been decided upon, but that it will be kept secret until the conference h," been officially notified.-Exchange.

Buasta will come to Versailles at mid-day to-day to get a reply from the German Government regarding the com- position of the German delegation which 1 yiU sign the Peace Treaty.—Exchange.

I THE POLICEMAN'S KNOCK, I
I THE POLICEMAN'S KNOCK, I It has been the custom ofar1y.risiAs II Hamegate residents to employ night??y policemen as "knock8up." If they wanted to be called at a certain hour, workers mereiy had to mention the fact to a member of the force, pay a couple. oi pence, and at the desired hour a patrolling! policeman would loudly knock on. the door until the sleeper awoke. A sort of sea- son ticket system was also in for. The receipts were pooled and shared between the policemen as pin-money. New instructions have now been issued to the effect that a policeman must no ionger act as a knocker-up." So many requests for early calls have been made that compliance would mean a deviation from the ordinary patrolling duty.

I JACK TAR WHO LOST £60. I A story of a Jack Tar's amazing confi- dence in handing over his wallet, contain- ing £60, to a woman he had never seen before was related at Tower Bridge yes- terday, when Emily Hardcaetle, a char* woman, and Winnie Goschen, housemaid, were committed for trial on a charge of stealing the wallet and money.

LONG-HAIRED MEN.I
LONG-HAIRED MEN. I Amusing Comment at Labour II Conference. SOTTTHPORT, Thursday. At this morning'6 sitting the Labour ?arty Conference considered an amend- ment to the Party Constitution Execu- tive who proposed to discontinue the Ifrant to Parliamentary candidates and to increase the affiliation fee from 3d. to Id. per member. Mr. Will Thome, M.P. (General Workers') opposed, and said the refusal tc give any monetary assistance to a Par- liamentary -icandidate vrould inflict a financial hardship and' burden on unions responsible for finding all money who were running Parliamentary candidates. Mr. Ramsay Afacdonald suggested leav- ing the levy at 2d. until they had experi- enced another year's working. The Execu- tive wanted the support of the conference for discontinuing the grant. He assured the delegates that the money would be spent more effectively. Hr. Philip Snowden said the contribu- tion of Socialist Societies to the Labour Party was not to be measured by money alone. Who," he asked, amid cheers, "doee your work? You would not have the Labour Party in the country but for their work." Mr. Snowden added that the I.L.P. with, a membership of one-tenth of Mr. I Thorne'lS organization were able to finance I 50 candidates and find £ 20,000. Mr. Jack Jones: We do not claim the intelligence of long-haired men and short-haired women. (Laughter). They were asked to take part in a general strike. If they could not get their ends Politically they must do it in- dustrially. They could not do that with, ou t money. The Executive recommendations were adopted
ITALY & PEACE.
ITALY & PEACE. Foreign Minister's Survey. ROME, Wednesday (Received Thursday). In the Senate this evening Signer Tittoni, Minister for Foreign Affaire, made a brief statement regarding the present etate of the Peace question, in the course of which he said:— Our frontiers with Austria hare been defined in accordance with our wishes. As to the Adriatic, after the situation created by President Wilson's message, an attempt to effect a compromise on the basis suggested by M. Tardieu was made, but this failed. This compromise was sought in order to discover an agreement acceptable to J our Allies and President Wilson. We. on our part, remained firm in our demand for the application of the Treaty of London, which President Wileon doesn recognise, but which the Allies admitted in its entirety, that is to. say, with the clause giving Fiume to Croatia. No other decision was reached, but Serbia has occupied Northern Albania j and Greece has occupied Smyrna, which was promised to us by the St. Jean de I Maurunnia Agreement." Without entering into details, Signor Tittoni considered that in principle the j compensation in Africa oftered by Great 1 Britain was satisfactory, but that offered j by France ought to be increased. ITALY'S FOREIGN POLICY. J JJiscussing the programme of the 1 Italian delegation, the Foreign Minister I said:- I Before all we count upon the justice I of our cause, which we will defend ener- t ?ticBUy and tenaciously, and upon the J 6ulmtantial and well recognised com-1 munity of interests with our Allies, be- lieving that they attach value to. the j friendship of Italy, as we attach value to ¡ their friendship. This is the fundamental point, for only in this way can we urge with effect the real basis of our rights, I in opposition to which are vainly raised subtle interpretations which can be placed upon the Treaty. Our rights are I demanded by our glorious dead and affirmed by our gallant wounded." Italy's foreign policy, proceeded Signor I Tittoni, must henceforth be a popular I policy.

-1 I SWANSEA EAST. U I r; Probable Date of Etectjffln: d July 10th. « lot,! The writ for Swansea East is m the hands of the postmaster, who was unable to deliver it this meaning to the Mayor "owing to the latter's early departure for Cardiff in connection with the Prince's visit. In all probability the election in Swan- sea East will take place in the course of a fortnight, so that the contest will be a short and sharp one. Tentatively, the understanding is that nominations are to be in on Tuesday, July 1st, and the election will come off on Thursday, the 10th.

ORDERED HOME. I Gough and Germany's j Baltic Troops. COPENHAGEN, Tuesday I (Received Thursday). I According to latest reports from the Esthonian Headquarters, the German Baltic troops have been thrown back across the river by the Esthonians, and their retreat in places degenerated into a flight. The Esthonian Army is represented by the official Esthonian Press as fight- ing with extraordinary ardour on the Ramotzky-Riga railway. Stations at Ligot and Hintzenburg were captured on June 23rd, the entire mountainous region of Livono thus falling into the hands of the Esthonians. Seven guns, three bomb-throwers, a considerable number of machine-guns, and large I quantities of provisions were taken. I GOUGH'S STERN COMMAND. I The Russian Volunteer Corps in In- germanland has again engaged in a vio- lent struggle with the Bolshevists, but have not won much ground. It is re- ported that several hundred Bolshevists have gone over to them during the past few days. The Lettish Press Bureau states that General Gough, head of the Allied Mili- tary Mission in the Baltic States, who has arrived at Reval, has demanded that half the German troops there shall im- mediately be sent back to Germany and that the German Baltic troops shall be withdrawn from North Lettland to a certain specified line, and that the U lmanis Government shall be enabled to resume its activities.
TO-DAY'S SURVEY I
TO-DAY'S SURVEY I Trouble between Greeks and Turks The Press Association and Exchange Telegraph Co. learnlthat the report pub- lished from Jewish sources relating to Poland are believed to be exaggerated. At Vilna 64 Jews only were killed, ten in street fighting and the remainder exe- cuted for nring on Polish soldiers. Further trouble has brokien out between the Greeks and the Turks in Asia Minor, and the revolt of the Moslem population against the Greeks is feared, although the Amir of Afghanistan is stated to have ordered a cessation of hostilities. Recruiting for the Afghanistan Army continues. Russian and Hungarian correspondents have been invited to Afghanistan. All Allied Missions have been with- drawn from Riga, owing to the attitude of the Germans there. German troops are threatening the Baltic Landweihr against the Esthonians. Deniken's advance in South Russia is 1 threatening tLv DolabL.Vilsts, tou,uanict- tions in the Crimea, and fetay lead to the I evacuation of the Crimea by the Bolshe- ¡ vists.
