He det.tunces new Imperial ad ventures in the Near East and else where. "Wo do not want moro mandates,' he declares, and compares tho present financial position of the Government with what it was in the mqst desperate lime of the European war. Every Government Reckless. "Financially, wa arc In the period of the battle of tho Sommo in July, 1916," he says. "I know no precedent for tho recklessness with which every Govern ment In Europe Is refusing to recognize the possibility of general bankruptcy. The estimates are framed In a spirit which suggests that Europe has had Borne marvelous accession of wealth In ibtead of having largely destroyed the wealth of her productivity. So Inverted has this process of reasoning become that one group among us positively reckons the war debt aa an asset. "Our external policy shows signs of the dementia which prevails everywhere. While France Is entering on enterprises in Syria; while Greece Is avowedly ready to march Into the interior ot Asia Minor and simultaneously keep the Bulgurs out of Thrace, and while Poland, with an empty cash box, maintains her troops in a territory far beyond her natural fron tiers, we aro certainly not sotting them a better example." Lord Rothermere declares that the oc cupation of Constantinople Is utterly fu tile as a means of stopping the Clllclan massacres and denounces the policy of holding Mesopotamia nt n cost of more than 2O,ftj0,0Q0 pounds sterling nnd Pales tine and Egypt at a cost of more than J2,(X.(i pounds sterling. He declares that tho new budget will be Sra.OOO.OOO pounds sterling more than what Mr. "hamberlain sets down as the expend! 'urea for a normal year, which excesa coea not take Into account 60,000,000 In crest accumulating on what Great Brit ;iln owes the United States. He assorts that the army budget will run well over 3,OM.0 pounds sterling and announces V, e want no more mandates! The Gov rnment la Instrusted with a mandate 'or Great Britain, and It is its duty to lulfll It, instead of creating a daln. o'f ir.en ana money 10 inese distant lands." Civil Service Expenses. , He bitterly denounces the Increase in civil service expense over before-the war costB of 500,000,000 pounds sterling and says: "This makes a mockery of 'he recent Supreme Council declaration, "Necessary measures must be initiated n every country to balance recurrent Government expenditure with national income. Kothermere calls subsidies of various Muds totalling 200,000,000 pound the most dangerous of all Government policies, but Insists that the British out look Is "sunshine Itself compared with that of France, Italy and the new States of Europe. The promised German In demnity has become a figment of the Imagination In consequence of the col lapse of German exchange, apart from other difficulties. If Germany handed ver to France her whole national rev nue this year It would not materially lessen the intensity of the necessity cf rur ally. "If there Is daylight anywhere, 1 can- i.oi see it," Lord Rothermere continues. Western civilization is far more rickety to-day than It was a year ago, and Iracherous paper money keeps it in be- in?, out Is no bulwark against the crash that Is menacing all alike. It Is true that In the cool, temperate minds of our people we have an asset of greater value than any gold reserve. We may even hurvlve the shock of nations toppling over all around us, but we will do so only if the Government realizes that we ore Immeasurably poorer than we were Mx years ago. We must choose between solvency and downfall and choose iiulckly." Two moro budgets such as Mr. ' hamberlain Intends to Introduce to morrow may mean our extinction as an rnplre or a great Power. They would Imply famine and ruin, for a bankrupt People dopendent for the bulk of their food upon others cannot hope to ro-tover." Mnt liaise Billion Founds. Despite the gloomy predictions of Lord rtothermere, Sunday newspapers usually well informed on administration matters are hopeful on the budget pros tata, but banking and commercial cir cle are nervous over tho Income and "cess profits taxes. It Is generally predicted that tho oudget will contain a straight out out line of the actual financial situation, otrraslng the burden of the floating debt, outlining tho principles upon which this Mian be funded and a sinking fund es tablished with the payment of the bulk of war costs In fifty years. Tha consensus of pxtlmntpn nt fh total to bo raised Is a billion pounds rtefllng, involving possibly aa much as i200.O00.00O in new taxes.

"Tho workers demanded nctlon on tho basis of workers' councils. The officers proposed representation by their own profession. Then the sub ject of arming labor was broached Altvater accepted tho proposal that the military formations should be com posed half of labor, which held out the prospect of arming 300.000 workers, However, ho promised to give a more accurate estimate at the next meet nc. uartrnm, one or tno workers .who participated in this meeting, sought out Wegmann, whom he found at tho head quarters of the workers' councils. Weg mann again declined to meet the Rcichs- wehr officers, but finally agreed to re ceive them In his home and, if possible, learn their real Intentions. A Llout Blebhan, who attended it, declared that tho cooperation of the Heichswehr and tho workers was essential If civil war was to be averted. "Wegmann expressed distrust of tho sincerity of the officers; saying that if It was really tme that they had changed their minds they must find a way of saying so openly. The officers refused to make a public statement, however, declaring that such a course would re veal prematurely their plans. i "Altvater said that on an appointed day workers throughout Germany must go to weapon depots and then they could establish a proletarian dictator ship. But all operations must be con ditioned on discipline, and youths must be disarmed. Ume Worker to Help. "Bleihan suggested that Wegmann write handbills addressed to the sol diers which would prepare them to co operate with tho workers, saying that meanwhile he would write some articles' for publication In the Relchswehr news paper. Great secrecy was promised and the next meeting was net for Thursday, when they' would assemble In the offices of tho Ministry of Defence. It wns promised that 'rellablo representatives' of the Independent and Majority Social ists should bo present. Wegmann took a leading comrade Into his confidence, who advised him not to attend the meeting, and who carried the story to tho Chancellor, and the arrests of Thursday followed," REICHSWEHR MUST QUIT RUHR APRIL 24 German Government Orders Tin Troops Out of Neu tral Zone.

Constantinople, April 18, A French cruiser landed throe battalions ot In fantry, some batteries .and cavalry at Merslna, Asia Minor, on April 14, ac cording to an official communication issued by Mustapha Kcmal Pasha, leader of tho Nationalist Government In Asia Minor. Armenlnn volunteers covered the landing, but, says tho com munlcatlon, wcro wiped out, and the French wero unablo to advance f urthor than tho protection of their naval guns. Reports reaching Constantinople say that communications between Merslna and Adana, thirty-six miles distant, havo been discontinued for several days. A communication Issued to-dny by Mustapha Kemal says the Nationalists have occupied tho town of Iladjln, wiucn lies a short dlstanco northwest of Mums)..

One thou sand men already have be'en despatched to panderma to aid Anzevour Pasna in his butti. against Mustapha Kemal Pasha. Others will go shortly to Trefci zond and Samsun. Tho Government hns abandond plans for a general mobilization and now Is trying voluntary nellstment. A $30 monthly wage Is being occred volun teers, which Is about '100 times the amount received by soldiers before the armistice. Great difficulty Is being experienced in the distribution throughout Anatolia of mandates ordering the slaughter of rebels becauso of the fact that the Na tionalists are largely in control. Air planes, however, are being used to scatter the documents where it is be lieved they will Induce Mohammedans to support the Sultan. The period within which the rebels may return to fealty to the Government, originally fixed nt seven days, hns been extended to seven days after the man date has made Its appearance. The Nationalists In Anatolia have eliminated he Sultan's name from their prayers, substituting that of Prince DJemal Eddlno Pasha. Many arrests havo been made in Con stantinople In connection with the Na tionalist proclamation which appeared In many parts of. the city charging Damad Ferld Pasha, the Grand Vizier, with using religion as a cloak to realize his ambitions, thus becoming tho Idol of lnfldols, who wcro betraying the true faith and trying to destroy national unity. One paragraph of tho proclama tion reads: "Arise, young patriots, follow the principles of the Konn, which empowers us to fight God Is with us." Jamaica to Han Profiteers. London, April 18.
