Germans Boast
OF Devastation
In French Towns
Paris Reports That Retreat.
ing Army Grows Savage
in Work of Ruin
By FRED Il. PITNEl

Paris, March 21.-Devastation COM
mitted by the Germans in the terri
tory which they have been forced to
evacuate is taking on the character Of
savagery. As the retreat continues,
evidence of the German barbarity
grows. The latest act is the forcible
abduction of young girls from the
towns which the Anglo-French advance
has liberated
According to an official announce
ment fifty young women of Noyon,
from fifteen to twenty-five years old
we're forced TO accompany the fleeing
Germans, and this has been followed
by many similar occurrences in other
villages.
The announcement is published in
the "Rhine and WestDhalia Gazette, u
the supposed organ OF Krupp. that
"the French will count on their fingers
how many cities and villages they
have liberated; in reality they will
hardly find city or a village"
Regret is felt keenly that ut the
time of the beginning of the retreat
on the Ancre, the Allied governments
failed to serd out solemn warning to
Germany that every act of destruction
contrary TO the rules of The Hague
convention would result not only in
PREPARATIONS but reprisals. and, If
necessary. individual repression against
the chiefs who ordered the ravages.
With clearer weather, the forward
march of the Allies yesterday could
have been continued under better con-
ditions than the day before, but the
French, still maintaining a vigorous
contact with the enemy, were able to
establish themselves solidly in new
positions. They are now well prepared
for any counter action which the Ger
mans may attempt.
Tergnier, which was captured yester-
day, is an extremely important rail-
road town on the Paris Brussels line
This is a branch of the Amiens line
which joins that Of the Paris-Lille and
and the Laon-Rheims. In regard to
interior communications, the Germans
in quitting Tergnier have lost an i'm
portant base.
The Chateau de Coucy, which the
Germans destroyed during their re-
treat, was one of the remarkable monu-
ments of military architecture of the
Middle Ages. 1t was constructed be-
tween 1925 and 1890 by Enguerrand
de Coucy. Standing On a rocky height,
il dominates the valley of the Aislette.

Holland May Bar
u. S. Armed Ships
Hague Also Standing BY Re-
fusal to Admit British
Vessels with Guns

London. March PA dispatch to
Reuters Telegram Company from Am
sterdsm says:
ut is understood that the Dutch
government has intimated that II is not
prepared 10 allow armed American
merchantmen in Dutch hsrbors. Ac.
cording TO the view in we'll Informed
circles, the Dutch reply to representa-
tons arising out of the British steamer
Princess Melits case will be unsatisfao-
tory from the Entente standpoint.
The steamer Princess Melita arrived
at the Hook of Holland during the even
ing of March 5, bu., being armed. was
ordered 10 depart forthwith, according
to a dispatch 20 London quoting the
Dutch Naval Department as authority.
The steamer sailed. but returned the
next morning and was permitted to dis
embark a sick passenger and take on
drinking water. A later dispatch from
London said that the British govern.
ment would insist on defensively armed
ships being permitted TO enter Duteh
ports.

Germany's Sixth War Loan
Failing, Is Hague Report

London, March PA Hague dis
patch from the correspondent Of the
Exchange Telegraph Company says:
"The German Ministry of Finance is
organizing a great canvassing cam
paign for the sixth German war loan,
which, in financial circles. is consid-
cred less successful than the previous
loan, the subscriptions being one-third
lower. Berlin and Frankfort bankers
openly state that the present failure
shows the uselessness of launching a
seventh loan"

the vessel followed the Tuscania. but

A Disturbing Element.

But, the one element in the Russian
situation disturbing to the rulers OF
the Central Powers, factor greater
even than the potential military. power
Of the country, is the effect which the
revolution is having upon their own
peoples. .-
II the rulers of Germany, Austria
and Bulgaria would avert revolutions
in their own lands, they must listen TO
ne will of the people. If revolution
does come in these countries it will not,
be organized as skilfully as it was in
Russia. but it will sc ten times bloodier.
In official quarters ! find that the
question of a separate peace with Aus
tria is viewed as a possibility, but hard
ly a probability, inasmuch as the whole
problem is likely to be solved before
diplomatic negotiations could be ended

Might Use Austria as Wedge

II Austria sues for separate peace
!, means that Emperor Charles Is sup
ported and not opposed by the Kaiser;
il means that the German govern
ment considers Austria more valuable
out of the war than in 1t, and that
Germany is using Austria as wedge

Political and economic unrest IN
Austria-Hungary hurried the visit Of
Bethmann-H olweg to Vienna, referred
to in these dispatches two days ago
This seems to lend strength to the re-
ports that big Developments in the
Central Powers are sure to come witnin
short time.
The revolution and the new democ-
racy in Russia are largely responsible
for the unsettled conditions. NO one
knows how farreaching the effects OF
Russia's reorganization on the course
of the war may be.
The Russian situation remains con-
fused. Russia's greatest well wishers
are still unable 10 view her future

England Not Surprised That
Wilson Is Working on
Plan for Vienna
Entente Not Advised
Operations on Battlefield May
Solve Problem-Russia
Confuses Situation
By ARTHUR 5. DRAPER
lBy Cable to The Tnbunsl


London, March 2i.-The report that
President Wilson is at work on plan
for a separate peace with Austria
caused considerable interest here, but
no surprise.
1t is unquestionably true that Aus
trians and none more than their
young Emperor desire to get out OF
the war. But Germany, having drawn
them into it, blocks the way out.
That Emperor Charles has asked
President Wilson to use his good offices
in perfecting a separate peace is not
wholly surprising. But ! can state au-
thoritatively that the Allies have not
been approached officially on the ques-
,ion ND to the present time.
The possibility of separate peace
now raises so many important ques-
tons that before it can become an ac-
complished fact operations on the bat
tlehelds are likely to alter materially
the entire situation.
