The Daily News’ correspondent says that Germany’s troubles have been increased by serious dissensions in the Central Cabinet. The Chancellor considered he is handicapped by the timidity of the Socialists in connection with the Government’s economio policy, the chief points of which are: Increased production and the abrogation of the regulation compelling employers to employ a percentage of ex-service men and disabled men. Herr Strescmann, who is essaying the role of the strong man of Germany, threatens to jettison the Socialists and invite the less reactionary wing of the extreme right to join the Cabinet and save the country.

The Monarchists everywhere are growing more restive.

OHARGEB AGAINST FRENCH.

TROOPS WATCH OUTRAGES. Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn. Rceeived October 3, 1.30 p.m. LONDON, October 2.

The Daily Express’ special correspondent at Dusseldorf says:—'"There is the'strongest criticism on all sides of the French authorities’ attitude in Sunday’s battle-. I can personally vouch for the fact that when'a group of French cavalry might easily have dispersed the small crowd, which was armed with lead piping and clubs, the cavalry stood by and watphed young, unarmed green policemen being battered to death. ■ It witnessed the attack from a distance of fifteen feet. The French made no move throughout the day to assist in the maintenance of order. Matthes, the Separatist leader who organised the demonstration,: declares that the French might have stopped the disorders if they had desired."
