SENSATIONAL ALLEGATIONS

("The Times.")

London, Nov. 27. A sensational story is published alleging that documents have been discovered proving that prominent Socialist«. including Ebert, Noske, and SciTTedemann, participated in extensive smuggling and profiteering, by which large fortunes were made.

The "Daily Mail's" correspondent states that the documents relate to gigantic transactions, one involving a million sterling. Schiedemann declares that the majority of the documents are impudent forgeries, but it is asserted that others bear the closest inspection.
