AMBIGUITY OF
 RUSSIAN TREATY
 CAUSES TROUBLE

Moscow, Thursday, April 25, via Vladivostok, April 26.---By The As lsoc1ated Press. )---The ambiguous wording of the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty is causing considerable friction and constant exchange of protests.
 The provision relating to Russian warshirs, stipulating the transfer to lRussian ports or their disarmament. tGermany interprets as obltgine them mot to leave ports and not to cruise in territorial waters. M. Tchitcherin. the foreign minister, objected to this in- depreciation and suggested that a commission be appointed to settle the dispute. This was accepted by Ger many and the commission will meet in Berlin.
 |, At the same time Foreign Minister Tchitcherin demanded a guarantee that the Black Sea fleet, @ report of whose capture by the Germans has not been confirmed, be given immunity in the Crimea-
 Germany has refused to admit into the territories occupied by her 300. 900 starving refugees who are gathered near the frontiers, as requested re- peateIdly by the Russian foreign min ister.
 It is reported from Irlutsk that China is claiming territory near Chita. The Siberian soviet government has protested to the Chinese government.

, cContinued from Page 1.)

eContinued from Page 1)
 this morning that the grand total had now reached $337,950. A patriotic Girls club, which has been working as Minute Women under the leader ship of Mrs. Biltz have secured $13,- 45O in subscriptions.
 The employees of the New York, New Haven & Hartford freight office have gone 95 per cent. Employes number ing 16O have bought bonds for a total of S10,050.
 The Boy Scouts drive will end at noon tomorrow. The present figures for the boys total is in excess of those of previous loans and it is expected about $5,O00 more will be added be- tween now and the closing hour. The scouts have been at a handicap in this loan as the territory has been pretty we'll covered. About 40 of the boys it is expected will be entitled to medals or bars for their work in the third loan Up to noon the scouts have raised $115,100.
 The last few hours of the campaign is expected to bring a large number of subscribers. The goal of $6,500,- 900 set by the committee will proba- ply be surpassed by a few thousand dollars. This noon the official figures were placed at $6,s5o,oo0, which is an increase of 100000 over yester- days total.
 The final report of the professional mems committee was made to head quarters this morning. Every physi- elan in the city with the exception Of one subscribed to the loan. The doc tor who failed to buy a bond has two sons in the service and according to the committee, said he didn't feel that he could buy bonds at this time The

 The merchants committee is going at a great pace and expect to turn in additional subscriptions which will bring it's total up to $200,00O before the campaign closes tomorrow after noon. The committee has received $500 individual subscriptions and has visited over 1000 persons in in terests of the loan. The committee is: E. H. DiIon, chairman; A. M. Engle- hard, w. J. Baird, Joseph Hartigan Lewis Rockwell, Albert Anderson, Dutro Plumb, George A Sherwood, John T. Mccormack, George Rose and Frank Blakeman.
 The police report of yesterdays work shows that their drive is most thorough. Since the campaign was waged by the officers a total of $76,- 600 has been subscribed. The thor oughness of their drive may be made more clear when an instance which took place a few nights ago is cited One of the coppers was not satisfied with the answer certain family had bought bonds of one of the Boy Scouts. The scout was routed out of bed at II o'clock to give the police man the truth of the matter. The family had agreed to buy a bond of the scout.

 "In this connection I beg to call to your attention of the appropriate prosecuting officers the provisions of Section A of the Public Acts of 1917 {, under which I am directed to render l to the government of the United States in the present crisis any assist ance within the power of the state, l and to that end and for the purpose
 of providing for the public safety am authorized to exercise any and all

 state to furnish men such informa-

LOCAL COURTS
 TO ACT AGAINST
 RENTAL BARONS
(Continued from Page one.)

NCOnClnueQ rom Page One.) If your rent is raised in a degree which you consider unreasonable. refuse to pay the amount demanded. at the same time rendering to the landlord the amount which you have been paying. You should be reason ably certain of your ground that by the action of the landlord national interests or public safety is seriously ] SCopardized."
 The next move of the landlord probably would be an attempt to pul ! you out of the tenement.
 Don't move.
 You have legal rights, and the land lord cannot force you out, under the circumstances outlined above, without legal action.
 If the landlord, without judgment by court, ejects you by force, against your will, and has yor property moved out, sue him for trespass and claim damages.
 The landlords next legal move would be to bring summary process action before the courts. The tenant should sit tight and await results.
 In compliance with& the recommend ation of the Governor the judge ot the court to which the action is taken should cause the prosecuting attorney Or grand jurors to receive notice thai this action is pending, and cause this officer to appear in the action, inves- tbgate the matter, al1S if it appears that the national interests or public safety will be jeopardfzed by the land lords demand. move for the contin-

uance of the case until the present emergency is passed, providing the tenant tenders to the landlord in pay court official determines to be a fair rental value of the tenement.
 In other words, all you have to do is wait until the court officials deter mine what is a fair rental value of the tenement which you occupy. Then tender this sum before a witness preferably the court official investi- gating the matter-in payment of your rent. The governor has called upon the court to protect you.
 Governor Holcomb's letter to Bridgeport court officials follows:
 'HThe extraordinary demands upon our industries for production of mu. nitions and other war material has created very serious conditions in some of our cities because of made quate housing facilities. The great body of our citizens is endeavoring to meet the situation in a patriotic spirit but some property owners seek to take reasonable and unconscionable rents and in some instances by failure to comply with sanitary laws and regu- lations. Their unpatriotic conduct is seriously affecting our industrial workers and is detrimental to the in- terests of the government in the pres ent emergency and against the public welfare.
 "The State Council of Defense ha: with my approval taken action in thi' matter and among other things ha: passed the following votes:
 "Voted: That the Council reques the governor to request the court lappointing prosecuting officials tha they require such officials to see tha all laws and municipal ordinances re lating to the public health be rigidl, enforced, and that the governor b' requested to notify all such prescott 1 Ing attorneys and all grand jurors tha they make special endeavors to hay all laws and municipal ordinances re lating to the public health, rigidly en forced, and that he will hold then Ito a strict performance of their pub lie duty.

AMERICAN TELLS
 HOW HE BROUGHT
 DOWN THE ROCHE

With the American Army in France, Thursday, May 2.-(By the Associated Press)-Lieut, James A. Meissner, whose home is in Brooklyn and who brought down his first German aero plane today on the American front northwest of Foul, returned to his hangar to receive the congratulations of his comrades.
 He briefly told an American story ih an American way, just as if bring ing down a German was an everyday trick.
 T saw him at about 5000 metres" he said, There was another ma chine, which I believe was a French one, headed in the direction of the German. just sailed in first, but the Roche swung down toward the earth when I was just above him. I went h'own after him. firing all the time. He turned his wing point quickly and rammed my wing, but as that was happening I cut loose with my gun again. Smoke came from the German machine, which headed for the in terior of Germany and we both were soon over his territory.
 q thought that might be some sort of camouhage for a getaway, for they tell me these Germans are full of tricks, so I kept right on his tail. Then he began to drop, real red flames streaming from him. I knew that I had him and that had fired 200 shots but also knew my machine was dam- aged. So I turned around and head ed for home, but I thought I had better come down safely inside our lines than to risk flight all the way, so I did it and there you are."
