Berlin Aug. 28,~Gustave Noska, secretary for military affairs, has threatened to sappress the ne wspaper Freiheit if 't persists in what he al- leged are false charges against the government. The threat. was occa- sloned by a full page printed in the Freiheit addressed to the revolu- tionary proletariat. It charged that the government was waging a bloody war on Upper Silesian work- ars and fostering a counter-rebellion. To-day the Freilieit, as the resuit of Noske's threat, adopted a less vio- lent tone. in its utterances dealing with the government. It describes, however, fifty-four meetings which were held Tuesday night and were attendcd by one hundred thousand workmen as a protest against pogroms, militarism and- counter- | revolution, adopted call upon workers to gather around the banner the revolutionary socialists.

Alre ady Paying Over 80. | 000 Pensions Owing to the Groat War----Sane and Equitable Legis. lation Necessary. The Pension Act, which passed through both Houses during the Jast | Parliamentary session, provides for! thé pensioning' of Canada's disabled ex-soldiers, their dependents and the | dependents of those who weré killed, and is one of the most important en- actments the Dominion Government has ever passed. The Act consolidates various Or- ders-in-Council relating to pensions passed in Canada during the war, and in addition gives effect to re- commendations made by the special [fommitten which was appointed ear- ly in the last §é8¥sion of Parliament to consider the question. of. pensions nmer wk Con- Canada Is {and pension regulations A number of modifications to the | "Pensions Regulations" -- | which comprise the present law on pensions--are to be found in the new Act, and the changes created will have an, important effect on future; decisions, with regard to pensions. The most important change which [has been made is that authorizing the payment of a bonus, for one year to disabled company sergeant-majors jand lower ranks and to widows and other dependents of members of the | forces holding such ranks whe have {did or been killed. There 'are, however, other import- | ant amendments, such as, the clause | {which states that the earnings from personal employment of a 'vidowed | mother shall not be taken into con- sideration when an award of pension | to such a person is made. Formerly | Commissioners -* were compelled, unfler the pensions regu-| lations, to take earnings or income | from any source whatever into con- | sideration when awarding pension in | cases of this nature. , This clause also effects beneficias- ies of municipal insurance which was | given in some Canadian cities to eiti- | enilsted in the Canadian | of a soldier so insured becamé, in the | jevent oI lus death throdgh military | iservice, entitled to municipal insur- i ance In addition to pension, but un-| international affair, creatéd a sonsa- {der the pension regulations, income | tion in Burope and the United | States. De Mumm 4s'a German, but | the famous champagne factories are at Rheims, France, so that at the | outbreak of war all his property was sequestered by the French govern- « ment. The union of the American girl with this young German was not a happy one and before the war broke | out Mrs: de Mumm attempted to get a divorce from her husband, There was a separation agreement | at that' time under which Mrs. de Mumm got an income of $1,000 a month and by which she was eventu- ally tv get two-fifths 'of her hus-| band's estate. ! But during the war Mrs de Mumm i was so conspleuously active for the | Allied cause that when, after the war, she attempted to get 'into Ger- | many to prosecute a divorce suit | against her husband she was pre- vented By the German government | from crossing the border. Inthe meantime the treaty ot | peace was signed containing a pro- | visipn that property of former en- emy nationals held .by the French -government would be scld by the French and the owner of the pro- perty would have a claim for its value against the German govern- ment. According, the French govern- ment has moved to liquidate the de _ Mumm properties in France, still "worth millions, even though the fae ; Mrs. de Mumm, who has a claim for a two-fifthy interest in the Wal- ther de Mumm properties, found that her claim would not lie with the Frepch govern not take cogn ce of the separa- tion agreement arranging for her | hostilities will entitle the particular. , which could not {from the municipal insurance had to! be considered as income and the| award of pension, if made, varied ac- cordingly. This will no longer be the | case under the Pension Act which | | states that municipal insurance shall {rot be taken into consideration when | pension is being awarded. Another amendment states hai) | voluditary reversion from a rank held | in 'the C.E.F. to a lower rank for the | purpose of proceeding to a scene ot | | member of the forces of disabled, or | {his dependents, if he is killed, to the | | pension prescribed for the rank from | hich he reverted. Under the pres- yn {ent regulations provision is made for | reversion in England only and pay-| ment of pension at the higher rate is restricted to the dependents of a de- | ceased soldier. The principle is now | Bet extended to include disability cases and also cases of reversion in Can- ada. Disability pensioners who are |affected by ithis clause should com- {municate with the Board of Pension Commissioners as, although' all cages will be reviewed as quickly as poesi- ble, the hoard states, the filing of a claim by & prisoner will facilitate the rapid completion of the work. When it is considered that Canada' with "her comparatively small popu- lation is\ already paying well over £0,000 pensions on account of the great war, and is still'awarding pen- sfons at the rate of over 130 per day, the necessity for sane and equit- able legislation, such as the Pension Act appears to' provide, is manifest.

Split In Opposition. ; The split in the ranks of the op- position that has been anticipated. grows more apparent. Yesterday thé schism was definitely shown when Senator McCumber, Republi- can, of North kota, made a very able speech in defence of the Shan- tung articles,' and condemning the action of the committee in amend- ing the treaty in the clauses dealing with this matter. He was supported by Senators Nelson, Kellogg and othe; Republicans, while Senators Borah Noris opposed. This feeling of disgust, it is be- lieved, will spread rapidly through- out the country, where the feeling is that though the presideat did his best in Paris, he might have d better, and that it 4s the duty of the Serate, if it is possible without jeopardizing the peace of the world or delay'ng ratification too long, to strengthen the treaty from the stan: point of the United States.

Montreal Aug. 28 -- What the pos lice believe is a headquarters for the distribution 'of morphine in Mont- real and other places, was ralded by the police and the customs oWelals yesterday. As a result the officers have in their possession 258 bottles of morphine, each containing one ounce, and valued at over $3,000, while a man and 2 woman are at the police station on charges arising out of the raid and the seizure.

W. L. Mackenzie King as ex- pressed oefore the Liberal conven- tion at Alexandria in the county of lengarry and Stormont. So far the Opposition is concerned it has, {after all, only the election of its own {leader at stake; the Government', {on the other hand, must elect at least three ministers, Sir Henry Drayton, Hon. Dr, S. F, Tolmie, and {the new Minister of Public Works, { whoever hé may be, Every candi date in the field who is not for the Goveriment must be considered as {against it,- since if elected he wiil | either swell the ranks of the cross | benchers or of the Opposition.

From the past political record of the eight vacant seats it°would ap- | pear that the Government is sure of ng more than two, namely Victoria, B.C., where an acclamation may be given Dr. Tolmie, and Kingston, where General Arthur E. Ross may run. Farmer candidates are very likely to carry Assinlbola, Glengarry and North Ontario, while Liberals will likely be elected in Prince, East Quebec and Carlton. The coming series of contests oc- curring as they do in six out of the nine provinces, will . constitute & highly interesting. test of public opinion on issues how unclouded by the war.
