Large concentrations of returned soldiers from the Baltic States in East and West Prussia are arousing suspicion. A semi-official German Gazette says the Government is complying with a local demand to maintain a frontier defence, but in some quarters the concentrations are regarded as dangerous. It is suggested that the Government is yielding to the machinations of the Militarists, including yon der Goltz and General Hoffman, who are planning a revolt designed' to begin in East Prussia, where the peasants have been secretly armed. The troops from the Baltic were recently urged' to regard it as a duty to restore the old order in Germany.
The Times correspondent at Warsaw estimates that the Prussian concentrations total eighty thousand regulars, and fifteen thousand other classes. The strongest forces are at Bromberg, Thorn, and in Upper Silesia.
