America in Harmony with AL
lies as to Indemnities by Ger
many Is Intimation.
lFrom Tho Tribune Burcaul

Washington, May 23.-The United
States is in complete harmony with the
Entente powers in the matter Of war
indemnities and the restoration of lost
territories, an authorized source inti-
mated to-day.
1t is expected, however, that the
United States will soon make, on its
own initiative, a public statement re-
garding indemnities and snnexations.
The American statement. it was said,
would probably concur entirely with
the recent pronouncement in the
French Chamber Of Deputies by Pre-
mier Ribot.
In some quarters it was regarded as
necessary, in view of the Russian sit
uation. for the United States to in
form the world that the principles for
which France is fighting are not incon-
sonant with the ideals Of America, but
are, on the other hand, entirely con-
sistent with the attitude Of the United
States, as defined by President Wilson
in addresses to Congress.
The Russian government, through
Foreign Minister Terestchenko, has
Just declared in communication TO
the State Department: 81 am glad to
find that those lofty principles. which
were so eloquently formulated IN
America are striking a warm, unanl-
nous echo in free Russia, now mistress
Of her destinies." II will be the duty
of the United States to convince the
Russian government and people that
the same 'lofty principles" are being
fought for by France and the other
Entente nations, and that the ideals OF
Russia and Of the United States are one
with those of Russia's Allies.
1t is understood that one OF the
principal tasks Of the Root mission to
Petrograd is to convince the Russian
government that the war aims OF the
Allies and of the United States coin
eide. that America did not enter the
conflict blindly, but fully acquainted
with the objects of all the belligerent
powers. and in complete sympathy with
them.
Former Secretary Root, it is believed,
will have little difficulty in convincing
the Russian government that the res
toration to France of AlsaceLorraine
would not be conquest, and that exac-
tion Of indemnities for the damage done
to Belgium, Serbia, Rumania, Monte
negro and to France would not be
penalizing Germany from mercenary
motive. but merely requirement that
Germany either restore what she has
destroyed or pay the cost Of such
restoration.

MEMORIAL FIELD MASS
AT LEAGUE ISLAND PARK
Navy Yard, Closed to Visitors on War
Work, Not Available

The annual military memorial field mass
may be held in League Island Park in
stead of at the Philadelphia Navy Yard this
year owing to the fact that the yard is
closed to visitors on account of war prepara-
\ tons The necessity for some change in
plans was revealed in a letter from Com
mandant Russell to Colonel Joseph w. Breen,
commander, Department of Pennsylvania,
Army and Navy Union, in response to the
latter's request for information regarding
the annual service.
The letter from Commandant Russell to
Colonel Breen follows in part
Il would state that in accordance with
instructions from the Navy Department
this navy yard at the present time is closed
to all but officers. officials. enlisted of
civilian personres of the naval establish
'ment. II at the time ii Is contemplated
to hold the field mass this condition still
exists, and this now seems probable, 1t
will not be practicable to permit visitors to
enter this navy yard and while special
permit might be granted to the priests to
perform the religious service, it would not
be possible to admit the large crowds such
as took part last year and who would un-
doubtedly desire to take part this year.
Therefore, ! would suggest for your
consideration that you obtain permission
from the city authorities to hold the field
mass in the League Island Park as close
TO the navy yard gate as practicable. III
this arrangement he made, II would pe
possible for the officers and men of the
ships then at this navy yard and those
attached to the-Anarine barracks to con-
venently join with your organization and
the people of Philadelphia in attending
this very worthy celebration in commemora-
ton of the officers and men who have given
their lives in the service OF our country

MYSTERY OF MALADY
! DEFIES SOLUTION
Wilkes Barre Doctors and State
Health Authorities Baffled in
Search for Source
wILKESBARRE. Pa. March %

State Board of Health doctors and city
medical autho-i les who are cooperating
with them have failed so far to ascertain
the source of the peculiar fever that has
stricken clerks of the Boston Store. They
have also failed to determine just what the
disease Is. They are. however, thoroughly
investigating the theory that the disease
was brought here by parrots that were sold
at the store few weeks back. The doctors
have been visiting all tt patients, making
blood tests and causing city health officers
to report the condition of all families known
to have purchased the birds. They have
traced the parrots to other cities. learned
whether there has been any sickness that
has followed, but so far have failed to
reach any definite conclusions.
[ One theory advanced TODAY was that the
fever which may be the old-fashioned in
fuenza in violent form. got its start at
the annual spring opening of the store when
there were hundreds of patrons present.
It has been discovered that the epidemic
dates from a time soon after the opening
took place. ......
There have been no new cases reported
or no more deaths Fifty of the store
clerks are still i'll, several of them very
