The bolshevik foreign minister, Leon
Trotzky, announced to the congress of
workmen's and soldiers deputies at
Petrograd the decision of the govern
ment respecting reprisals against Rou-
mania.
These include the breaking off of
diplomatic relations, the seizure OF
Roumnnian gold reserves In Moscow
and the Outlawlng of Lieutenant Gen
eral Stcherbatcheh, the former com
mander in chief on the Roumanian
front.
NJ. Trotzky said that the Roumanian
gold reserve amounted to l,20O,0OO,00O
rubes ($612, 000000), and that the Gus
todian of this fund had been placed
under arrest.
1t is understood that General Stcher-
batcheff has been cooperating with the
Roumanians In dlsarming Russians In
ROumania and Bessarabia.
Trotzky May Hang Back.
According to reports received from
Berlin by way of Amsterdam, peace
negotiations will be resumed at Brest-
Litovsk Tuesday. Count Czernin, the
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister,
and DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann, the
German secretary of foreign affairs
arrived there Monday. and NJ. Trotzky
is expected at an early date. Later
dispatches, however, denied that the
Russian foreign minister intended to
proceed TO Brest-Litovsk.
Before leaving Vienna Count Ger
min had an audience with the emperor,
and he is quoted as saying that he
might be compelled to return shortly
on important business.
Most of Troops Shifted.
Almost threc-quarters of the German
troops have been withdrawn from the
Russian front, according to the news
paper Nasty Vedomesty. No heavy
guns or armored cars are left, while
the number of light guns has been
greatly reduced.
Young soldiers are being removed
daily, and their places are being taken
by old men and semi-invalids.
The German northern front is
strongest. There are no Germans on
the southwestern front. and, although
the Austrians there have not been re
duced. their heavy artillery has been
withdrawn.

glons, with conditions most serious in
Finland
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. Al
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum of 10000 900
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties Of war to the European
allies
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
win be threatened REVOLT and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see In other parts of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
viii have been In vain.
