Germans Absorbing
Russian Business
AT Panic Prices

STOCKHOLM, May 16.-The chaotic
economic conditions in Russia are be-
ing utilized to the full by Germany for
increasing German influence and con-
troll over Russian industrial and finan-
cial institutions. Russian capitalists
and corporations, threatened with ruin,
see no escape except to sell their prop
erty to Germany.
Transactions of this nature are be-
ing carried out through NJ Furstenberg,
known also as M. Genetsky, foreign
financial adviser OF the Bolshevik gov
ernment, who is in Stockholm, with
various associates.
The main object of German effort is
to obtain control Of the Russian mines
and metal industry, leather and banks

cast, making the total vote 1884, repre-
senting 70 per cent of the officers in
the service.
1t will be noted that the largest pro-
portionate vote in favor of the change
in uniform came from officers in Euro
pean waters. This is largely because
foreign talors. especially English tai
lors, have been unable to make the
tight jackets of the present uniforms
fit.
The present tight-ftting jacket has
been worn by the navy for nearly
thirty years. Before that time all the
principal navies had lapel-collar
frock coat for the service uniform.
The British changed this uniform by
cutting off the tails of the frock. What
the American naval officers now want
to do is to adopt the Sawed off" frock
Of the British navy, with a few
changes.
There has been similar agitation in
the army for change in uniform. The
high-collareds tight-ftting service jack
ct of officers and men has come into
disrepute, especially since the Ameri-
cans have been thrown in with British
and French soldiers. They have come
to admire the roll collars and soft
shirts the foreign officers wear.

Germans Will Use
Black Sea Fleet
To Help the Turks
Seizure, Which Is Con-
frmed, Affects Naval Equi-
librium in Mediterranean
By Arthur S. Draper
Especial Cable to The Tribune. J

(Spec1dI CGble to The Tribune)
LONDON, May 1.-THE latest re-
ports from Russia confirm the report
that large part of the Russian Black
Sea fleet has fallen into German hands.
The dreadnoVghts SO far appear to
have escaped seizure, but the number
of smaller craft captured is of suffi-
cient Importance to affect the naval
equilibrium in the Mediterranean.
1t is believed that as quickly as pos
sible Germany will place the vessels in
commission with the Dardanelles forces.
Some delay may occur in manning the
new boats, but probably this will be
done by the Turks, with not more than
sprinkling Of Germans.
Most Of the boats were captured by
the Germans when they took Sebasto-
pol, and are believed to be in fairly
good condition. The Mediterranean
situation is likely now to demand
further effort by the Allies. Also more
attention will be required for the Ger
man submarine activities in Mediter-
ranean waters, where the U-boats can
not. for several reasons, be so easily
dealt with as in some waters.
Unfortunately, the losses in the Med
1terranean have been much higher rela-
lively than those in other waters, be-
cause the enemy is nearer his bases and
can concentrate in q comparatively mar
row channel, while the difficulties of
defence are considerably greater.
The general submarine situation has
grown more encouraging in the recent
period of good weather, which has given
the Allied attacking forces many oppor-
tunities to sink U-boats. The attacks
on ostend and Zeebrugge are already
bearing fruit, while the mine field in
the North Sea is serving the purpose
for which 1t was intended.

Argentina Will Stick
To Her Peace Policy
President Sees No Reason to
Change Her Stand for
Neutrality

BUENOS AYRES, Thursday, May 16.
Argentina is at peace with all ma
tions and has no reason to change her
present policy Of neutrality, declared
President Irigoyen in his annual mes
sage at the opening of the 57th Con-
gress session to-day.
The message referred again to the
'satisfaction given by Germany in the
cases Of the Argentine vessels Monte
Protegido and Toro after their sinking
by German submarines, and noted par
ticularly the visit of Mexican delega-
tion paid to Argentina within the last
few months, stating in this connection
that the relations between Mexico and
Argentina were growing closer daily,
with resulting benefits to both ma

Press Generally Declares
Action Necessary to Com

America Blocks Plan
If Soviet Expels French Am
bassador Other ENJOYS
Probably Will Leave

LONDON, May 17.-1f the French
Ambassador to Russia, Joseph Noulens,
ia compelled to leave the country, the
other representatives Of the Allies may
follow him, says an Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Moscow. In So
Wet circles, the message continues, 1t
is expected M. Noulens will be re-
called soon, but if France refuse he
will be declared to be a private citi-
zen.
The recall of Ambassador Noulens
was demanded early this month by the
Bolshevik government, on the ground
that he had made statements not con-
ducive to friendly relations between
France and Russia.
An urgent plea for Allied interven-
ton in Russia, to resist German ag-
gression there is made by "The Daily
Chronicle" in commenting upon Lord
Robert Cecil's admirably sympathetic
reference to Russia" in the House Of
Commons yesterday.
The paper says that the more the
Allies permit Russia to fall under Ger
man influence, the harder it will be to
extricate her. 1t adds:
1.-THE weight of our Intervention
necessarily would be Japanese. but it
should be given broadly Allied and
international character. For some
time it has been said that the obstacle
has been Washington only, and now
that-as we believe to be the case
the American governments own agents
are as much convinced as anybody else
of the need for foreign troops, it is
to be hoped that opposition will be
withdrawn"
The London press in general is urg-
ing the necessity Of Allied interven
tion of a prompt nature, if what is
alluded to as the rapid Strengthening
of German grip on the country is to
be combatted successfully.
Martial law has been proclaimed at
Odessa by the Austrian commandant, at
the request Of the Germans, accord
ing to Berlin advices forwarded in
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Amsterdam. Street fighting in Odessa
is reported. At Kiev Austrian patrols
are in the streets day and night, and
thousands of persons are fleeing from
the city.

the establishment of Poland under Ger

Warsaw under the Premiership of j.
X. Steczkowski, dispatches to Washing

-; The new Premier is an advocate Of

"He proclaims a policy of concilia-

change for their support of the Polish
national aims. Thus his policy stands
in direct opposition with the aims of
the enormous majority of the Polish
nation, whose attitude toward Germany
and Austria is one Of irreconciable
hostility. Germany and Austria have
ratified the new ministry.
A notable feature of the new cabinet
is the, absence of a war ministry. This
may be ascribed to reluctance on
the part of the cabinet to enforce the
formation of an army.

for the tight-ftting service jacket now

The wishes of the naval service, with

Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns

Almost everyone knows that Sage

get this mixture was to make it at

large bottle of this old time recipe i'm

body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does 1t
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the crap hair disappears. and after
another application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick ami
glossy and you look years younger
