OUTRAGES Ca-USE TENSION POOR EXCUSES OFFERED. “BEAT THE SWINE TO DEATH!” Published in "Tha Times." (Received March 12, 9.5 p.m.) , BERLIN, March 10: ' There is the utmost tension at the inter-Allied outrages. Apologising to General Nolletf, head of the InterAllied Commission, and M. Demareilly, the French Charge d’Affaires, ior the Adlon brutality, Herr Muller attempted to justify the . laying that everybody stood up for the of the National Anthem in Allied'’ .countries. , General Nojlett dryly replied that the “Deutschland Tiber Alles” is not a German. National Anthem. He then complained of a worse outrage, namely, an attack on three uniformed Allied officers who were i isitjner the Preuzlan barracks in Brandenburg id connection with the demobilisatioiT of the German army. When German troops jeered, hooted, and pelted stones at the Allied officers who were inspecting the camp, the commandant appeared with his staff at the door pf the officers’ quarters, and ordered the men to fall in, which was so promptly obeyed as to suggest that the men were not out of hand, but that -the outrage was secretly arranged by # authority. The Conservatives and Pan-Germans are working hard to fan the interAllied flame ignited by Prince Joachim. It has abundantly been proved that the Prince started the Adlon row, and led the attack. Ho was heard to shout, ‘‘Beat the swine,Jo death!” Prince Joachim pleads mistaken identity, and thus contemptuously dismisses the ’plea that ho was first' drunk, then insolent, and then cowardly. The bandmaster in the hotel admits that Prince Joachim frequently bribed young Junkers to play “Deutschland Tiber Alles/’ in the hope of starting’ a demonstration. The Wcrmitz affray was the outcome of a party of French shoo|ing, stringing out in Bn© and - beating-lip birds, when all tho-inV. habitants of tho village rushed and attacked them.

It transpires that Naval Commander Nash and Italian and Japanese officers were victims of another outrage at Bremen. They were surrounded by a yelling mob, mostly composed of civilians, who wanted to throw them into the dock. The police with difficulty effected their rescue. .
