DEMAND FOR DETENTION. <Australian aud N.Z. Cable Am 'elation.? BERLIN, February 23. Germany is shocked by Zoubkoff’s attack on a page boy in a newly opened Caso Nova bar, in the fashionable West End. The newspapers, and public are angry, and describe him as “a barbarian at the bar.” They demand his deportation. He arrived at Caso Nova at midnight, drank heavily, and danced with professional dancers. At thi’ee o’clock he staggered into, the lobby, and resented "tin offer of help by the page boy, whom he ordered to make himself scarce.

The page boy’s explanation was met with a blow which knocked him over, after which,, it is alleged, Zoubkoff proceeded to kick him. The manager and various people joined in a general tussle, till the police arrived.

Herr Stresemann’s newspaper says: It is positively intolerable that one who contrived to force his way into the Hohenzollern family should continually be the talk of the town. The sooner he is under strictex- supervision the better. PASSPORT EXPIRED. BERLIN, February 24. As a sequel to the Cafe incident, Zoubkoff was fined £lO. The police revealed that, his Russian passport, visa expired in December. LATER.
