BERLIN IS EXCITED OVER NEWS
Of BULGARIA PEACE PROPOSAL

mined to end the war, took the init
iative sometime ago in intrigues for
peace hoping to save his throne and
stave off a revolution. It was for this
reason that he went to Germany and,
the correspondent adds that it was O
curious fact that his whereabouts and
actions since he returned have heen
a mystery. A solution of the mystery
Is said to be that the Germans In Bull
garia realize that the king was turn
Ing against them, and they practically
kept him a prisoner. at any rate to
the extent Of preventing his taking
hand to peace overtures.
The Germans were powerless
against the popularity of Premier
Mailnoff who, 1t is recalled, while
Bulgarian policy was undecided, op-
posed an alliance with the Central
Powers.

The survivors, including Paul, were
taken to village behind the German
lines, where they were kept for three
weeks. Paul's papers sometimes re-
posed for safety inside his trouser leg.
He had hoped 70 use his knowledge of
German to gain his freedom. but an
officer who had been to one Of his con-
certs before the war remembered him.
The next best thing was to attempt
an escape. But Pau. was caught and
brought back for punishment. He was
strapped to post by his elbows, which
were raised behind him and tied. For
SIX hours he hung insensibe. Then he
was taken to the hospital. When he
was revived his first search was for
the papers, but they were still on his
person. During the night he dropped
from the hospital window. This time
ne made successful getaway. the
.apers reached their destination and
Paul won another decoration.

slble to commerce and industry, and
the modification of the complete re-

then only when coming from a
convenient port; when loaded
without delay and when the i'm
portation from Europe was not
specifically prohibited in the list.

campaigning around Warsaw, Paul act
ed as scout, guiding surgeons over the
battlefelds and warning them Of the
whereabouts Of the German patrols
When he was slightly wounded his
father ordered him home.
Paul only waited for the small hours
Of the first night while the household
slept to make his second escape from
home. He rode to Wilma as fast as his
horse would carry him. Then some Of
his friends in the cavalry hid him in a
horse train bound for the front.

sells unfit for essential imports. This
will enable ships to bring in large
proportion of the 1917 imports while
setting free cargo space for essen
tlal purposes. (Quebracho extract
is not on the list)
A large saving $4,000 tons) is
also effected in paper, crude paper
stock, and manufactures of paper,
although wood pulp and books and
other printed matter are excepted.
The long haul" here plays a CON
siderable role, as large part of the
paper stock was brought from East
India.
In the general category of miner
ais saving Of about $4,000 dead
weight tons is effected. Total i'm
ports of the minerals specified
amounted to 10000 long tons in
1917, large amounts of which, par
ticularly Of lead, are not affected by
the restriction, coming, as they do
from sources to which the prohib
tons Go not apply Among the edi-
bic substances mentioned are fish,
dairy products, dried, preserved, and
frozen eggs, meat products and pre-
served meats, including sauages,
bacon, ham, etc, tea waste, and edi-
hle substances of minor Importance
which do not receive special CLASH
tication under the tariff lists.
Other commodities are glass and
glassware, though precautions are
taken to insure the country's sup
rly for optical purposes; cork and
manufactures thereof, though the
largest part Of the cork comes UNI
der permitted imports from the Med
iterranean and Channel ports; leo
rice root, in which a saving of 10,-
eco tons is effected; and bones, hoofs
and horns, in which the restriction
saves $1,000 dead-wsight tons of
shipping.
The list itself was printed in this
form:
No import licenses for shipments made
after May IS, 1913, will he granted for arti-
Giles on this list except as specifically herein
provided These provisions authorize the i'm
portation of the specified commodities only
when the goods originate in one Of the
countries designated in the particular pro
vision covering such commodity, and do not
permit the importation of godas originating
IN other countries but coming through such
designated countries.
Licenses for the following articles may be
granted only for shipments coming from
Canada:
Lime.
Tale and soaDstone

The second list OF restrictions
which may be had in No. 9 of
May Of the War Trade Board
Journal, was issued on April %. A
statement which accompanied the list
said that expert calculation and
study estimated that restrictions "in-
troduced" by the second list would
result IN a yearly saving of about
lon00o dead weight tonnage. Ac-
companying this estimate was the
figure Of total imports in 1917 of
the commodities involved, amounting
to 10000 long tons. The statement
they continued:
The restrictions will not operate
to cut off entirely imports in the
commodities included in the list, and
mention of a commodity does not
necessarily entail any appreciabRe
shortage of the commodity in uues-
ton. This is due to the fact that
only small quantities of certain COM
modlties are imported by sea; Of
others we have adequate supplies
available in this country or which
can be imported from adjacent coun-
tries or under the backhaul privilege
from convenient European ports.
"Of some of the commodities, such
as condensed milk, for example, we
have even an exportable surplus"
The largest individual item on the
list Of savings is quebracho wood
about $4,000 tons. This wood, used
in tanning, can still be imported

"The Gar later will receive his pun

unjustly sentencing SO many people to
Siberia. Still, he is not such a wicked
person as the Empress. II was she who
forced her husband to declare himself
commander IN chief of the Russian
army when he was totally ignorant Of
military strategy. This was because
She herself wished to direct the army
according to information she received
from German generals"

Regulating Modem
Desires and astes

The new phases Of the American
import business began last Novem-
Der, when President Wilson issued
his first proclamation under the au-
thorlty of the trading with the en-
envy act, forbidding the importation
OF certain essential commodities ex-
cept by license. A second proclama-
ton was issued on February IA of
this year extending the import IL
cense to all commodities entering
the United States. The proclama-
tons themselves were of news mo-
ment at the time. But they are in
teresting now only as indications of
the multiplied quality of modern life,
and manifest by their saturation of
facts something Of the complexity of
modern desires, demands and tastes.
For actual illumination of the sub
Ject they must defer to the more
ample and complete lists later issued
by the War Trade Board. outlining
the conditions under which certain
importations could be made and pre-
sentlng an actual picture of the i'm
porting business as it has come to
exist for the United States.
The first of these lists was pub
lished on March 20, something more
than a month after the Presidents
complete restriction by proclamation.
The proclamation achieved the i'm
portant and immediate end of con-
serving shipping. The secondary
aim of the government was to save

ing them without finding out anything
Of any Importance. Then I overheard a
group Of officers saying that ten more
cannon were tc be made the next
day. Soon learned that the big guns
were wooden and camouhaged, and also
that there was "a passage through the
bog. crept back to the Russian lines
and reported what | had discovered.
We Immediately advanced on the vii
lage, gaining our objective with the
loss of single man and capturing
1000 Germans"
This accounts for one of PauPs deco
rations.
Another adventure was longer and
more perilous. This was when Paul
was acting "a his colone's orderly
during an engagement near Koyno.
When he received his death wound the
colonel held in his hand plans of all
the Russian positions. with the num-
bers and dispositions of all the units.
Paul, Selling the precious papers from
the dying officer. started for head
quarters. On his way he met the dvis-
ion commander, who paid no heed to
what the boy tried to tell him, but
CURLY ordered him to deliver mes
sage to the men in charge of certain

mcnt. If the $40 men behind the gun
failed to hold their position the rcgi-
ment was in danger of being sur
rounded. Some 1000 Germans were
advancing upon them. Although Paul
delivered his message. tho enemy won
the day.

medals-the crosses of st. George Of
the third and fourth classes, the medal
Of ST. George and the diamond bai Of
the RomanoFs, said to be the last deco
ration conferred by the late Car.
Back in the days before the war Paul,
now connected with the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, was a violinist. lie
etudied with Auer, knew Heifetz in his
salad days and gave concerts when he
was eight years old. But when Russia
.ook up arms violin was far too tame
weapon for Paul.
HIS father, a prosperous surgeon IN
petrograd who had served his country
in the war with Japan, Immediately
joined the colors. Paul, then aged
twelve, asked nothing better than to go
with his father But his mother had a
different idea, 80 there was nothing
left for the adventurous lad to do but
TO run away from home. The police
put on his trail brought him back, but

agreeable that his mother, discoura gcd

GRADING OUR IMPORTS TO SAVE SHIPS

the imports that may be still al
lowed. Reluctant shipowners and
masters must be compelled to other
paths. And the restricted bulk Of
importation must be apportioned
ialrly and faithfully to the hungry
trade. If a staple article is to be
cut down from $1,000 tons, its nor
NAL figure, to 5000 tons, who is to
get the 5000? The trade must be
organized to do the apportioninc
Sometimes the importer is cut out
altogether, and the manufacturer
gets his goods directly from their
sources. All this more or less enters
into that new word of the industrial
vocabulary, "allocation.' And there
are prices to be restricted, to keep
the sensitive and trembling market
from falling to chaotic pieces.
The results are illuminating. IL
Illuminating of human qualities as
much as anything. Empty bot
toms-empty bottoms on the back
haul" is the wall that arises out of
the South Sea Islands from shippers
who are disconsolate at the sight of
new profits vanishing into a dusky
ocean because the Bureau of I'M
ports of the War Trade Board of
the United States of America doesn't
see fit to license certain cargoes out
of the East.
True enough. They are empty
bottoms" comments Fred B. Peter
son in his quiet office. But that's
to show them we mean business.
How many ships are going back
there once we show them they've
got to come away empty? And if
we gave IN just once, back they'd
so again for more"
And yet another end to this new
system-in effect an extraordinary
and important end. Paraphrasing
Wordsworth, it's "the difference to
u.s. For out of a life where every
material in the world sought us out
for our plentiful dollars we are
suddenly shifted into a life that
faces restrictions on thousands of
imported commodities.

The only answer to the implica-
ton of these figures is in the hands
oi M. Hurley. The successful pros
ecution of the war depends on ships:
ships for food to the Allies and
ships for men and ammunition and
supplies TO France. The nation
must accommodate itself to every
hardship TO carry out these pur-
poses But as shipping facilities in
crease ard the maritime resources
Of the United States expand beyond
the point necessary to serve the
great cause of The war restrictions
on imports may be lifted somewhat.
At least it is certain that the great
fleets produced by the war will serve
the United States as it never before
has been served from all the ports
of the world when the passing of
the present need returns the ocean
routes to the traffic of peace.
