' PARIS, 9th August. A strike-among the public service employees in the Sarre (or Saar) district, accompanied by acts of sabotage, resulted in a state of siege being declared in Sarrebruck. It appears that tho German Government had a hand in the movement. Documents found in the possession of an ex-member of the Reichstag, Olimert, showed that., the Government allotted five million marks foi pan-Ger-man propaganda, in the Saar district, comprising military and political espionage, with the object of preventing the League of Nations administering the Saar region, in accordance with the Treaty of Versailles. An inquiry has opened into the activities of Olimert and others.
