GERMAN POLITICS.

'Per Press Association—Copyright.; BERLIN, December 16. It is expected that the vote is to be taken in the Reichstag to-morrow, when the fate of Dr. Marx’s Government will be decided. The Socialist leader (Dr. Schiedeniannl, in a speech to-day, created a sensation, and lie was greeted with cries of “knave” and “traitor,” the uproar culminating in the Nationalists walking out in a body. Dr. Scheidemann accused the Government of permitting secret co-oper-ation between the Army and Russia, notably for the manufacture of German war material on Soviet soil. He alleged that the Reichswehr had developed a state within a state, and followed its own policy and laws. It had relations with an aeroplane factory in Moscow, ami with an undertaking started for the purpose ef establishing an armament industry in Russia, to which officers had gone, with false passports. Dr. Scheidemann gave the names cf four ships which in September ami October had arrived at Stettin, from Leningrad, with cargoes of shells. Such secret arming, he declared, had proceeded on a colossal scale. The Socialists desired good relations with Russia, but they must be clean and honest. Dr. Marx, in reply, outlined the measures taken to reform the Reichswehr., but ■ declined to answer Dr. Scheidemann’s speech, observing that its details related to past events brought forward publicly before the Government had time to investigate them. Dr. AY irth defended the policy of securing the Polish frontier, on which most of the irregularities mentioned had their, origin. A Communist speaker emphatically denied dealings between the Reichswehr and Russia.
