The

Commission

yesterday
morning and again until late in
afternoon
the
directors
of
the
sugar
factories
being
present
in
connection
with its deliberations
on
the sugar
prob-
lem.
An
entire
report

the
views
on that and
the fish question
will
he
furnished
readers
as
soon
as
avail-
able.
So
far
it
is
understood
* that
the
prices
of
fish
may
range
from
9-14
cents
-according
to
cut
and
quality;
while
the
price
of
‘sugar
is
likely to
remain
unchanged
for the
rea-
sons
that
merchants
hold
considerable
stocks
bought
at the high
price,
as
well
as that
the price
in the
island is
based
apon
the
net price
the suzar
fetches
in
the States
which price has
gone
up with-
in .he last fe\\; days,
since the sale
to St.
Twomas
which
was

through

I
Mr. Lloyd George
a

After asse
ting

that the
Imperial Court
will
be
guide i

only
by
considerations
of
justice'
and

wili
conduct
an
impartial inquiry,

The
release
of
Germans
who
|
for similar
reasons
hive
been
detained
'
in war

camps,
alsois
asked
for.
.
The
note finally demands
that the
Allies

abandon
their
reservations
regarding
|
~
their right
to try for crimes
commitied
|
during the
war any
Germans
not
men-
tioned in the lisf“'f encountered
on Allied
territory,
saying'
that
incidents
arising
oat of
the war
should
be
consigned
to
oblivion,
wich
the
advent
of
peace.
Otherwise,
the
note
says,
a
restoration
of
pnormal
relation
between
the
differ-
ent
nationalities
is
harcly
conceivable
and
tnat
the German
Govt.,
on

will be

to
take
measures
with

the

by aliied subjects.

London,
March 13th.— 'he
revolution
in Berlin
was
an entire
surprise
to Lon-
don and apparently
to none
more than the
German
lLegation
here.
The
Sacretrayv
of Legation said tonight:
"*No word has
been
received from Berlin
as
to how
far
the movement
isa
monarchist
one
and
it is impossible
tosay.
We
never
dream-
ed
of anything of the kind and
are
unable
to understand
it’’,
Berlin, March
13th.— The
old
Govet.
i
Dresden,
Saxony,
has
issued
a manifesto
in which it denounces
the
insurrection
as
the work of old
adventurers
which
will
collapse by its own
weight
within a few
days.
It announces
that
all orders
and
decrees
issued
by
the
new Govt. areille-
gal and will not be
recognized,
and
calls
the
attention
of
arny
offici Is
to
the
‘breach
of their oath.
The Govts.
of Ba-
varia, Baden
and
Wurtemburg
have alss
issued
proclamations
in
which
they
de-
clare
that
they
are immovably
opposed
to
the
inconstitutic
~al
m.chinations
of
reactionaries.
These
Govts.
recognize
only the Imperial Govt.
and
the National
Assembly,
saying
that
in this
they
are
backed
up by the will of their peoples.
Berlin,
March
13th.—'The
Chancelior
of the New Berlin
Govt.
and Major Gen-
eral Luttwitz
have issued
the foliowing
proclamation:
The
overthrow
of
the
Govt.
must
not be
taken
as
reactionary,
but'
on the contrary
it

Cermans
of ail

ties, with
the
view

.re-establishing

an honest

in Germany.
It is
an
overdue
attempt
to lay the foundations
for
the
economje
resuscitation
of Germany,
enabling
her
to fulfill
those
conditions
of
the
peace
treaty which
are reasonal
le and
nect
self-
destructive.
inspired
by
zeal
and
a
de-
sire for the beaefit
of all German
people,
the
New
Govt.
invites heartily
the
ac-
ceptance
and
co-operaticn
of
she
inde-
vendents
for the creation
and elaboration
of laws for the b:tterment
of the
work-
ing class.
The
moanifesto
charges
the
Specialist
Govt. with overburdening
the
people wiih taxation,
the failure of pro-
duction
in all lines,
.the
suppressing
of
newspapers
which
criticize it, and
other-
wise with Interfering
with personal
lib-
erty and with refusing
the National
As-
sembly the right
to issue
writs for

Last,
but
not least,
says
the
manifesto,
the Govt. whose
chief spokes-
man is
Herr
Erzberger,
must
be
swept
away.
