fBy Associated Pi ess. to Tho Banner
LONDON, Juno 19 Unrest among
Canadian soldiers in England because
ot continued postponedment of home
ward sailings culminated Tuesday
night in an attack by 400 Canadians
o'n the Epsom police station. One
policeman was killed and several
wero wounded. The purpose of the
attack was to release a Canadian sol
dier who had been arrested.
To avoid trouble the police released
another Canadian in whom the mob
was interested. During the last few
days there has been trouble in the
Canadian camp at Whitley where the
soldiers burned huts and did other
damage, according to reports.
Thero is much sympathy here for
the Canadians who repeatedly have
been given dates for homeward sail
ings, only to bo told that further
postponement was necessary owing
strikes of dockworkers at Liverpool
and other ports, or to lack of trans
ports. Tho unrest has not been confined to
tho Canadians. Thero also have
been protests by Australians and
Now Zcalanders. Somo Scottish
units, composed of veterans, recently
held a demonstration against being
sent back to Franco whilo men who
had not seen active servcio remained

Although The Delegates Are Opposed To The Terms, Yet
Dispatches From Weimar, Where German Cabinet Is
In Session, Reflects A Different Viewpoint; In The
Meantime The British Grand Fleet Is Getting Ready.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TO THE BANNER)
(Jenmui feeling towards the peace treaty appears to.
ha inking a more favorable trend.
Although the peace delegates of Germany, headed byj
Count von J3rockdorff-J?antzau, are represented as decid
edly opposed to accept the revised allied terms, the latest
dispatches from "Weimar, where the German cabinet and
national assembly are considering the treaty, reflects a
different viewpoint.
rJlie majority socialists, the present dominating po
litical force, are declared in these advices to be more fav
orably inclined towards the treaty than at first, while tho
Clericals and Democrats of the left wing are reported to bo
swinging in the same direction.
One report from Berlin says that the People of the
capital arc resigned to the future- desiring only to see tho
treaty signed and the suspense ended.
In the meantime, however, rumors of an exciting na
ture are printed in London newspapers, it being said that
the British grand fleet is prepared to sail on short notice
for German waters and that British dirigibles are already;
near the German coasts, if not already over German soil.
The dirigible R-34, which the British are intending to
send out on a trans-Atlantic voyage late this week, is said
to be, by one report, over the Baltic sea armed with bombs
and machine guns and ready for action.
Her sister craft, the R-33, is report
ed to have left last night on a cruise
which will take in the Kiel canal. One
thing is definitely known and that is
that tho R-34 will not start on her
proposed trans-Atlantic journey until
tho German situation is cleared up.
Only minor affairs are being taken
up by officials of the peace confer
ence in the absence of President Wil
son, who is in Belgium. Efforts are
being made .to adjust the railroad
communication between Flume, Tri
este and Vienna to the satisfaction of
Italy, Jugo Slavla and Czecho Slavia.
