Aniong other causes assigned were the tender condition of the ship, the insufficient margin of stability and reserve or buoyancy, the weather and high wind which caused the vesscl to list to: starboard. The, inquiry court's report said the ship was loatled properly as to cargo and coal, which was distributed with- in .to prevent shifting, although the coal should have been carried in the upper shoots. Water finding its way into the low- er bunkers saturating the coal was given as another contributory cause of the sinking. It was said this prob- ably caused part of the list and pre- vented the pumps working efficiently.

Police in the various coun- tries took measures to avert threat- ened trouble, Inception and conduct of the demonstrations generally was as- cribed to the Moscow Third Inter- national.

Many Communist leaders and numbers of their followers have been arrested and imprison- ed. Paris was said to have 20,000 armed troops and police organized to repress attempts at meetings and processions which have been forbidden.
