WORK OR FIGHT"
REGULATIONS TO
BEFAR REACHING
In THEIR EFFECT
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, May 24-The far
reaching character Of the new
work or fight" regulations under
which the government proposes to
put every man Of draft age into
some useful employment or into the
army, probably will not be fully
realized by the country until the ef-
fects of Its operation appear in eV-
cry community.
The sweeping character Of the gov
ernment's purpose to put every able
man Of draft age either into the
army or some useful occupation is
indicated by Provost Marshal GEN
eral Crowder's official announce
ment, but inasmuch as every case
will come up for determination on its
merits as the operation Of the regu-
lation goes forward, 1t will become
apparent that the scope of the gov
ernment's action practically is limit
less.
The new regulations probably will
be more and more closely applied as
the war goes on, or until 1t becomes
necessary to raise the draft age
above thirty-one. Military author
tiles are of the opinion now that 1t
will not be necessary to raise the
draft age If those now Of draft age
are fully utilized.
The first effect of the new regula-
tions will be to drive idlers to work
or into the army, Moreover 1t will
be the idlers' own responsibility to
get a useful job before July /. Then
will come the determination Of what
constitutes useful en-ployments and
this, it is pointed out, will come in
for closer and closer determination
as the war goes on. An employment
reasonably useful under present con-
dittons might by the developments
of the war come to be considered
useless in comparison with the
greater needs Of the war.

Fifty Men Executed and
1000 Imprisoned in Di-
vision at Dvinsk
RUMANIAN PEACE
TREATY EXPLAINED
Economic Advantages Are
Equivalent to Indemnity,
Says Won Kuehlnann
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. May 24.-A German
division at Dvinsk, Russia, ordered
from the east to the western front,
refused to proceed, and fifty men
were executed and one thousand i'm
prisoned, said a Russian wireless
dispatch today to the state depart
ment. Other German troops in the
vicinity held demonstrations in favor
OF the division.
From the same sources reports
were received that the fifty-sixth Ger
man regiment and others en- route
from the east to the western front,
held demonstrations against the con-
tinuation of the war.
Complaints against German auth
critics in various places in Russia
transmitted by the Moscow govern
ment to Berlin, as outlined in the
dispatch, declare that armed German
merchant vessels had been sent to
lombard Black sea towns, that Rus
sian fishing boats had been sunk and
that Russian steamer carrying pas
sengers had been torpedoed by a
German submarine In Waida bay.
One complaint said a hospital ship
had been attacked by German sub
other protested against confscation
of Russian property by Germany in
Finland.
Equivalent To Indemnity.
1880 London, May 24.-ZEconouiic ad-
vantages which Germany has obtain
ed in the peace treaty with Rumania
are equivalent to an indemnity, DR.
Won Kuehlmann, the German foreign
secretary told the Berlin chamber OF
commerce in discussing the Ruman-
ian treaty, the German wireless re-
port OF the address shows.
Germany's control Of the coming
Rumanta harvests caused the food
question to be looked forward to
with a certain amount Of conf
dence," DR.. Won Kuehlmann declared
German trade privileges also were
most important and they included
the lease to a German company for
SO years Of, the Bucharest -CZernavo-
-Constanza railway line, thus CIV
ing ready access to the petroleum
fields and grain centers.
Referring to the geographical sit
uauon which eliminated the question
Of territorial acquisitions, DR.. Won
Kuehlmaun said therefore it was "all
the more necessary to obtain econ
omic advantages up to a limit con-
sistent with the maintenance OF Ru-
mania's capacity for production"
Two points, he indicated, must be
taken into consideration, first, guar
anteeing Rumanian agricultural and
petroleum production as urgently
necessary for the carrying on Of the
war by the central powers and for
the transition period; and, secondly
the important role which Rumania
has to fill in providing a thorough
fare to the east, especially as she
dominates the lower course of the
Danube"
