PROPERTY TO GO
tBy Associated Press.l

Washington, March s. 49, Property
in the United States owned by the
kaiser himself, former Chancellor
Won Bethmann-H -HolIweg, the German
''tunkerS', generally, and the Ger
man government itself, will be the
first to go under the hammer under
the plans Of A. Mitchell Palmer, alien
property custodian, to sell German
owned property here tC the highest
bidders.
Mr.. Palmer's testimony to the SEN
ate appropriations committee. in
which he proposed necessary legis-
lation, which was made public to-
day, makes plain that properties Of
merely minor individuals probably
will not be sold, but that the direct
purpose Of the move is to break up
the outposts of kultur in America.
THE time has come, Mr.. Palmer
told the senators, when the owner
ship Of some Of these great German
properties should be permanently
separated from German capital and
that the enemy might as well know
that the connection which be has
been able to maintain with American
Industry and commerce Is broken,
not simply during the war, but brok-
en- never to be restored"

| Jassy, Rumania, Monday, March 4
by wireless to Saloniki. Tuesday,
| March 6.--Intense Indignation IL felt
by the army and people of Rumania
! over the terms Of the preliminary
| peace to be imposed upon Rumania
by the central powers. With its
military forces scattered and its
hopeless strategical position, Ru-
mania had no recourse except to
yield to her powerful and ruthless
foe.
The Rumanian example is pointed
to as a repetition of the bitter fate
suffered by Serbia and Belgium.
The royal family is greatly de-
pressed over the disastrous course
of events. Both the king and queen,
through the Associated Press, ex-
press the earnest hope that the
American people will have a sympa-
thetic appreciation Of the tragical
circumstances that forced peace on
Rumania and that the warm friend
ship that has always existed between
the two nations win in no wise be
impaired.
Hope is felt by the royal family
and the people that when world
peace comes the sacrifices being
made by Rumania will be recon-
pensed.
Under the peace terms, Faumania
not only will have to give upI
Dobrudja, lose control of the Danube
and endure other great economic
sacrifices, but she will be compelled
to yield to Germany large wheat,
petroleum and salt concessions. It'll
is understood that Germany will
have control Of the Rumanian rail-
ways for a-period of is years and
will have possession Of the four
principal fortified passes through
the Carpathians. All German goods
are to enter Rumania free of duty
while all Rumanian goods will go
into Germany under the old tariff |
with the exception Of certain reduc-
tions.
Germany served her final ultima |
tum on Rumania yesterday, giving |
the little kingdom only "a hours in i
which to make a final decision. Al
crown council was held and it was
decided that Rumania, completely
isolated and without outside sup-I
port, would have to bow TO the force
OF circumstances and take a course |
from which there appeared to be no
escape.

Seven or eight German airplanes

There was a remarkable display
of the northern lights last night and
it is believed by many that this fur

air raiders could work more effective

Another feature Of the raid was the
strong breeze. which most persons
believed hindered the operations OF
the hostile airplanes.
