1 Berlin, Germany.—The proclama :
tion of a Rliineldnd republic at Aix-
la-Chapelle is regarded in official cir
cles in Berlin as a purely local affair*

ation of a new Rhine state began re
cently when citizens of the frontier

a republican proclamation.

set up, The'flag of the Rhineland re
public files over the town hall.
In the proclamation announcing the
republic, the Separatists forbade re
sistance or demonstrations, and de
clared they would ruthlessly suppress
pillaging.
It IS also announced that the sepa
ratist forces Intend to march north-
word through the Belgian zone, and
later the British zone, In an effort to
swing the entire Rhineland to (heir
support.

local authorities co-operated in the
coup, which Is said to have been led
by a local merchant named Decker.

London.—A Reuter dispatch from
| Berlin says General von Lossow, who
was recalled as commander of the
iReichswehr troops in Bavaria, Is In
[open uiutlny against the central gov-
jerument in Berlin, and evidently Is
[under the protection of the Bavarian

patch, that when Defense Minister

to suppress the newspaper Voelkische
{3eobaohter by forge of arms if nec
essary, von Lossow, in , an opgn tele-
jgram to General von Seeokt, German

Under ordinary conditions. If the 0-5
was running, submerged or “awash,"
regulations require that extreme cau

The 0-6, although launched’ during
the war, was one of . a class already
considered practically obsolete and re
stricted to coast and harbor defense.
Built at the Foro River Shipbuilding
company's plant at Quincey, Mass., in
1917, the submarine displaced slightly
more than 620 tons and measured 176
feet, in length with 18 feet beam. Her
motive plant gave 14 knots on the sur
face and 10.6 submerged. Four tor
pedo tubes and a 3-inch gun comprised
the offensive armament.
