Production of Armaments EVIDENCE TO BE PRODUCED. STEP TOWARDS SETTLEMENT OF CONTROL. .By Cable—Preo Aisociatlon—Oou/iiirh.u.> (Received 3, 9.45 a.m.) London, Nov. 2. “The Times” Berlin correspondent states that the German Government has at last agreed to supply the InterAllied Military Control Commission with documentary evidence in regard to the production and supply of armaments before and during the war. So far it had persistently refused. This is a great step forward towards final settlement of the question of military control. It is all the more satisfactory since there is well grounded suspicion that Germany continues to hide arms and produce new weapons. Even Krupp's has been discovered endeavouring to disguise rifle barrels as castings :nd traincar axles.—(Times.) REICHSTAG ELECTIONS. NATIONALIST OBJECT LESSON FROM BRITAIN. (Received 3, 9.45 a.m.) London, Nov. 2. “The Times” Berlin correspondent says:—Realising their election prospects are none too bright, the German Nationalists are attempting to ijjnke party capital out of the British Conservative success.

It is doqbtful. he adds, whathor Gelman voters will realise in time that the German Nationalists have hardly aiything in common with the British Conservatives.—(Times.) LESE MAJESTE.
