Rumania, Forced to Renounce Indemnities.
Must Pay All damages Sufferedby Teutons

AMSTERDAM, May 11.-Under sup
Elementary legal, political treaty be-
tween Rumania and Germany, the for
mer country must indemnify German
consular officials for all damage suf-
fered by them during the war or done
to consular buildings. Rumania re-
nounces indemnification for damage
caused in Rumania as result of Ger
man military measures, including all
acquisitions and contributions.
Within six months after the ratifca-
tion of the peace treaty Rumana must
redeem notes issued by the Banca Cen
erale on the order of the occupation
administration and will not put them
in circulation against balances or de-
posits held by the German Reichsbank
for covering.
Another clause provides that Ru-
mania shall indemnify Germans for all
damage suffered by them Oh Rumanian
territory by the result of military
measures of one of the belligerent
powers. This stipulation also applies
to losses which Germans suffered as
shareholders of undertakings in Ru-
mania. A commission having a neutral
chairman will fix the amount of such
losses.
Rumania also will indemnify neutral
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

nations for damage caused them on
Rumanla territory as a result of Ger
man military measures.
Other clauses provide for the resto-
ration of abrogated treaties, the re-
sumption of the ordinary relations
between debtor and creditor, and the
exchange of prisoners. Germans who
were in the Rumanian public service
before the war will be restored to posi-
tions with equal salaries or given fair
compensation.
Rumania will grant amnesty to her
subjects for their political conduct or
military conduct, based on political
grounds, during the war. Another
clause provides that various rights
shall be accorded German churches
and schools in Rumania.
Clause II says "Rumania, after
having obtained the consent of the
Rumania National Bank, agrees that
balances and deposits of the national
bank now in the German Reichsbank
shall remain in the Reichsbank's
charge for five years, and if Ru-
mania falls behind in her install
ments for ten years, as security for
Rumania's public debt and service as
regards German subjects, and may also,
if necessary, be drawn upon to pay in
terest and redeem Rumanian bonds"

Crisis in Austria
Grows i'm GRAVITY

WASHINGTON. May 11.-Postpone-
ment of the opening OF the Austrian
Parliament until May 18 is merely an
expedient of President of the Council
Won Seydler, says diplomatic dispatch
from Zurich to-day, in commenting on
the gravity of the Austrian political
situation.
The action, continues the dispatch,
in no way modifies the threatening
character of affairs. for ait appears
urgent that the chamber should resume
its labors, the budget must be voted
and the food situation is so difficult
that deputies can only meet the present
exigencies by making concessions dis
trict by district. FINALLY the financial
situation is full of danger, as the issue
of paper money has been made in such
proportions that cries of alarm are
heard on every side"
The Czech and the Jugo-Savs have
combined, the dispatch says, and are
following a distinct separatist policy.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

gency are young Prince Nkolai, who
is mere schoolboy, and King Ferdi-
nand's brother, William, who is a gen.
eral in the German army. The affairs
Of state will probably be intrusted to
Peter Carp as Premier. M. Carp, who
IS more than eighty years old, held the
Premiership for a time in the ante
of the ablest diplomats in Rumania.
He has been strongly pro- German
throughout the war, although two Of
his sons lost their lives in the Ru-
manian army at the hands of the Ger
mans.
M. Carp was bitterly opposed to Ru-
mania entering the war, declaring that
Russia would never be dependable
ally and that the course of the cam
paigning would be long series of dis
asters for Rumania.
Plan to Exploit Country
Now that the Germans have sue
ceeded in obtaining the formal sigma
lures to the treaty which they have so
carefully drafted, they will put into
effect rapidly, it is taken for granted,
measures designed to make Rumania
most useful to them A series of in
trlgues and political manmuvres similar
to those recently carried out in the
Okralnc is expected to develop at
Jassy
plausible excuse for the use of the
mailed fist in Rumana may be found
by the Germans in the difficulties like
ly to be encountered in securing the
ratification of the peace treaty by a
Rumanian legislative body. A large
proportion of the members of the Ru-
manian Parliament left the country
when German peace became inevi-
table, and it is doubtful whether it
will be possible to assemble quorum
for the ratification of the treaty.
Even if a quorum can be gathered,
counted upon to support the Queen in
opposing ratification, in this event Civ
ing the Germans an opportunity, if
they choose to take it, of dealing with
the Rumanian Parliament as they re-
Gently dealt with the Ukrainian Rada.

Burian Still Hopes
For General Peace

AMSTERDAM, May 1.-THE hope
that general peace negotiations will
follow the Rumanian peace was cx-
pressed by the Austro- Hungarian For
eign Minister, Count Burian, in reply
ing to an address presented by munich
pal officials at Budapest, according to
dispatch from that city to the Crank
furter Zeitung."
"Our King hitherto has seized every
possibility of peace" said Baron Bu-
rian. "He is determined emphatically
to seek every opportunity to conclude,
If possible. an honorable and lasting
peace with our enemies. We are now
on the lookout for peace. without wish
ing to bind ourselves by definite and
restrictive formulas. Our determined
perseverance has brought US thus far.
With the sword in one hand and the
olive branch in the other, we shall
hold on"
The Foreign Minister said he would
do his utmost to contribute to the at
tainment of this end.

Free Tickets Home
For Soldiers Urged

WASHINGTON, May 11.-A bill to
grant furloughs to enlisted men for
the purpose of visiting their homes
and to authorize the Director General
OF Railroads to furnish them with free
transportation was introduced TO-DAY
by Representative Mott, of New York.
1t applies only to men stationed within
the United States and limits furlouphs
to one each year.
CHICAGO, May 11.-Railway fare Of

sailors by Director General McAdoo
within short time, according to viii.
lam E. Golden, an attorney, who re-
turned to-day from Washington. after
a conference with the Director Cen
eral.
The reduced rate, Golden declared
will enable soldiers and sailors to visit
their homes more frequently. MANY of
them, owing to their small pay, and the
great distances they have to travel
find this difficult.
Mr.. Golden filed a petition with Di-
rector General McAdoo bearing names
of $4,000 Chicagoans asking for tho

Wllhelmstrasse Lays Plans to
Discredit Rulnanian Queen
Press Apparently Inspired to Talk Abdicaon-Unhapp,
Ruler Declares, With u. S. Aid She Will Fight On
Present Moves Similar to Ukraine Manoeuvres

LONDON, May 1.-THE signing of
the treaty of peace between Germany
and Rumania will be by no means the
last act in the Rumanian tragedy, ac-
cording to the view current here. The
announcement by German newspapers
That Queen Marie would rather abdicate
1han reign over the country under the
German peace conditions is held to be
case of the wish probably being
father to the thought. The Queen was
largely instrumental in bringing Ru-
mania into the war on the side of the
Allies and she has fought stubbornly
for many months to avert peace. Even
now that peace has been signed it is
predicted she will continue to be a
formidable obstacle in the path of the
German plans for "pcnetration."
In talk with The Associated Press
correspondent at Jassy the day before
MS departure from that city, Queen
Marie said:
II shall never become reconciled to
humiliating peace with Germany
never! And l hope, indeed ! know
that l shall have the support of Ameri-
cans as we'll as Rumanians in continu-
ing the fight against the invader. The
time is critical one for Rumania, but
we know we are right and our courage
is undaunted. We have been through
critical times before. We have borne
great hardships and undergone great
suffering. Greater hardships and suf-
1erlngs are perhaps in store, but l con-
tlnue to hope. 1t is only womans
hope, but l cannot abandon it,"
Will Not Quit Unless Forced
The Wilhelmstrasse is probably con-
sslderlng ways and means for riddng
Rumania of the Queens influence. AS
a preparatory step, the German news
papers apparently have been instructed
to speak of her as planning abdication.
1t seems safe to predict that she will
never abdicate unless forced to do So,
as she is known to be imbued with a
deep sense of responsibility to the Ru-
manian people, whom she. by every in
dication, deeply and sincerely loves.
1t seems probable that the only rea-
son why Germany has not already in
sisted upon the abdication of the
Queen is that King Ferdinand is a
member of the Hohenzollern family
and therefore is still regarded with
some degree of consideration by the
German rulers. If both the King and
the Queen are deposed, it would natu-
rally follow that exile also would be
imposed upon Crown Prince Charles,
who is in closest sympathy with his
mother in her bitter hatred for all
things German. The likeliest candi-
dates for the throne in such contin-

Those present were ordered to hold up
their hands, and their treatment was
rough and discourteous.
"The protest of the president of the
Central Rada against the arrest of
members in the Parliament Building
was disregarded. More than this, force
was used against President Hruschev-
sky during the search. All private
papers and documents of the Central
lasted three and a half hours. With
out any warrants Of any sort being
shown, the following ministers were
arrested: Minister of the Interior
Tkatschenkq, Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs Lubinsky, Minister of War Schu-
kovsky and Director of the Political
Administrative Department Kajevsky.

Veteran General Slain
By Bolsheuiki, Is Report

COPENHAGEN, May 11.-General
Rennenkampff, a Russian commander
in the japanese and present wars, has
been murdered by the Bolsheviki at
Taganrog, Southern Russia, according
to the Vienna correspondent of the
"Lokal Anzeiger," of Berlin.
In the Japanese war General Rem
nenkampff commanded a Cossack cav
airy division. Later he made an un-
enviable record as Governor General Of
Trans-Bakalia. In 1914 General Rem
nenkamptf gained successes against the
Germans in Poland and East Prussia,
only to be defeated by Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg. In 1915 he was placed
on the retired list, and in June, 1917,
was arrested by the provisional gov
ernment for offences against sthe gov
ernment and interned in the fortress
of st. Peter and St. Paul.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

"The German Minister. Baron Mumm,
was informed of what had happened
and was asked whether the case was
known to him. AS representative of a
state friendly toward Ukrainia the min
lister was requested to inform the Ger
man government. The Ukrainian gov
ernment filed decided protest and
pointed out the serious consequence to
which interference might lead. The

marked that what had taken place in
the Rada was unknown to him.
"The report spread like lightning

time this year that the enemy has
resorted once more to his earlier ex-
pens've tactics of attacking in dense
masses, which he was thought to
have abandoned. He did this prob
ably under the desire Of achieving a
rapid result by main force.
In the next place the numbers en-
gagged were larger than have been
employed in any local action for
mnay weeks; in fact, the German
concentration was the largest since
the main offensive, in March.
Again, for almost the first time,
the enemy copied the British innova-
tion in air attack by the use of low
flying machines, which fired at men
on the ground.

Bolshevik Council Meets to
Consider Ultimatum
From Berlin
Talk of Moving
The Capital Again
Industries at Standstill,
Though Lenine Is Grad
ually Restoring Order

LONDON, May 11.-Russia has been
suddenly faced with events that may
again change the political outlook, the
Fetrograd correspondent of "The Daily
Express" telegraphs. Germany, he
says. has apparently found that eco
nomlc dominion over Russian territory
IS insufficient and is seeking military
occupation.
An extra session of the Bolshevik
government council has been held in
Fetrograd to discuss the situation Gre
ated by the ultimatum recently deliv-
cred by the German Ambassador.
Count Won Mirbach, which embodied
demands OF character apparently
calculated to turn Russia virtually
into German colony. Premier Le-
nlhe speech at this meeting was ex-
tremely pessimistic, the correspondent
reports.
Consider Changing Capital
According to the newspaper "Pod-
nla," the question of transferring the
capital to Nijni-Novgorod was
preached. as was the subject of imme-
oiate military measures for the defence
OF Moscow against possible aerial at
tacks.
A dispatch to "The Times" from
Stockholm says the Finnish govern
ment has summoned M. Won Enkel,
Finnish Minister at Petrograd, to re-
turn to Helsingfors for the purpose. it
IS stated, Of discussing the suggested
annexation Of Russian Kare1ia by Fin
land
M. Won Enkel is quoted by the corre-
spondent as reporting the situation in
Petrograd still precarous, owing to
the scarcity and dearness of food. The
Lenlne government, however, is gain
ing in stability and power, he says,
subduing the unruly elements and
making an effort to reorganze the
army. The number of unemployed is
very great and industry is completely
at standstill.
Ground Left Uncultivated
The peasantry, who are the principal
supporters of the Bolshevik govern
ment, the minister added, are still
looking to that government for free
distribution of land, most of which in
the meantime has been left unculti-
waited.
NJ. Boichiller, a French economist,
who has arrived at Stockholm on his
way to France from Russia, confirms
the statements of the minister regard
ing the labor situation, the correspond
ent adds. Bolshevism, the French
traveller declares, has destroyed in
dustrialism and disintegrated labor
throughout Russia. Labor, he reports,
is now gradually ranging itself against
the Bolsheviki, the better elements
among it becoming reactionary.

Guatemala Will Respect
German Rights, Berlin Hears

AMSTERDAM, May 11.-Commenting
on the declaration of war by Guate-
mala, the "Norddeutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung" says, according to a telegram
to Berlin, it was declared in govern
ment circles in Guatemala that the
breaking off of relations would have no
effect on the treatment of Germans
settled there, and that no change would
occur in this respect. even if it came
to the worst. 1t is expected that this
conception still prevails in authorita-
tive circles in Guatemala.

AMSTERDAM, May 11.-Announcing
that Emperor Charles of Austria had

Zolger, Slovene minister, the corre-
spondent at Vienna Of the "Vossische

ent adds that a new Austrian govern
