Indemnity Substitute
Found by Germany


Washington, May 23--The German
peace treaty with Rumania is being adj
vocated by pan-Germanists as the basis
for all of the Central Powers peace
treaties, as it DISCUSSES indemnities al
though making the Allies share the
burden of Gcrmany's warfare, accord
ing to an official telegram received mere
to-day, quoting the "Neueste Maench-
ner Naehrichten." The paper main-
tains that the peace with Rumanis
must be the principle of the general
peace. 1t continues:
"The succession of events enables us
to find method by which the con-
quered countries take their share of
our enormous war burdens without our
inflicting positively upon them a crush
ing indemnity. This method consists
OF STIMULATING through treatise for a
condition of precedence which shall in
sure to Germany for long tisns the
delivery of articles of exchange which
she needs. Accordingly. Rumania will
provide US with wheat and oil for 90
years under conditions advantageous to
us: This happy solution might be
adopted. for the other future peacs

Comm ODDITIES

evident that there is more wheat in the
country than shows on the official WISH
bic supply statement. Advices from
Washington state that according to the
latest survey by the food administra-
ton the total stock of wheat in the
United States on May for domestic
consumption and export was 105 ,0OO,-
900 bushels. This includes wheat and
-four in all positions and, though the
stock is small to carry out the export
programme and to provide for home
requirements, the food administration
believes that if consumers will con-
tinue to use substitutes extensively
there will be no actual shortage of
wheat -four until the new crop is avail
able. The crop outlook continues very
favorable and harvest is rapidly ap-
preaching in the Southwest.
Corn.-The corn market was fever

with gains Of about 1sc, prices expert

necessitate distillers making heavy

however, and when longs attempted to
take profits they found a very slow de-

that the way the new crop is germinat-

Coffee Futures.-The attention of the
trade was almost completely monopo-
lized by the latest government regula-
opening yesterday morning. At first
the new ruling, to the effect that no i'm
ports of coffee will be permitted pay
ing freight rates in excess of those
fixed by the United States Shipping
Board, was taken as bullish feature,
on the ground that it would curtail i'm
portations. Later, however, it appeared
to be more generally regarded as an
other step in the direction of maintain
ing a reasonable parity between do
nestle and Brazilian markets, and after
opening at an advance of to 10 points
closed at a net gain of only to 2
points. Possibly part of the early buy
ing was to cover hedges against pro-
spective arrivals, but as soon as this
demand had been supplied prices
sagged off under scattering liquidation.
The official announcement regarding
the new regulation reads as follows:
"The War Trade Board has determined
that no license shall be granted for the
importation of coffee, which is carried
at rate of freight greater than the
rate established by the United States
Shipping Board. All licenses heretofore
issued for the importation of coffee
which is now en- route or contracted for
to be shipped at a freight rate greater
than the rate established by the United
States Shipping Board are suspended"

MONTENEGRO PEOPLE
DY|NCBY THOUSANDS
Austria So Far Has Not AL
lowed Red Cross To Re-
heye Starvation
BY Henry Wood.

Omitted Press Staff CorreSp0ndent.)
Rome, Sept. 4.-(By Mail.) Out Of a
total population that numbered half
million before the war, an average of
five thousand persons are dying o. star
vation and disease in Montenegro every
month. Yet the allies have not yet
succeeded in arriving at an agreement
with Austria that will permit saving
the remnants of these people.
Practically all of the farm lands of
the little kingdom is absolutely uncul-
tivated this year, owing to the fact that
no men are left to do the work. Near
ly the entire male population of Monte
negro which has not fallen in battle is
hcj6 prisoner by the Austrians. The
fcw men who have escaped have taken
to the mountains where they seize food
con, oys arriving for the Austrian army
and thus obtain supplies for themselves
and The female population.
Prices Of the few things which are
still to De had in Montenegro are fan
tastic. A goat Or sheep, which before
the war cost $4, now sells at from $50
to $loC. Potatoes that ordinarily cost
half cent pound, now cost $l.20
pound For food the people strip the
bark from terees, boil it and make it
into sort of pastry. Bones Of animals
are even dug up, ground into powder
and added to this mixture of bark and
water.
Contagious diseases have added their
tell to that Of hunger. The situation ia
so bad that it is openly recognized in
the Austrian and German press that un-
less something is done Immediately the
Montenegrin race must disappear utter.
ly. The newspapers Of the central en-
pires demand that the allies be given a
permit to provision the country. TAX
ing advantage Of this opportunity the
Montenegrins, in agreement with Great
Britain, France and Italy, together with
the American Red Gross and various or
ganizations are striving to reach agree
ment with Austria that will save the
remaining Montenegrin people.
Competent authorities estimate that
only $4,000 tons Of foodstuffs would
be sufficient.

Only In PetrOgrad And Mes
COW Have BOlsheviki Sem
bIanCe Of Power.
By Joseph shaplen

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Oct. S.-The GONZALES
eence of Russia from the disease of
bolshevikism is proceeding at a re-
markably rapid pace. With the excep-
ton of cholera stricken and terrorlzed
cities and districts of Petrograd and
Moscow, there is virtually no place in
Russia where the power of Lenine and
Trotsky is exercised, cables to the Rus
sian embassy indicated today.
All the nationalities inhabiting Rus
sia have once more united for the es-
Establishment Of free and prosperous
land.
Only the natiOnalities of the Cauca-
sus and the Ukraine have not yet had
an Opportunity to offer their allegi-
ance to the new all-Russian govern
ment formed at Uffa. This is not due
to their opposition to the new gov
ernment. The Ukraine is helpless for
the time being due to the presence of
a German army numbering nearly a
half million men. The Caucasus is in a
similar plight, due to Turko German
occupation. Even the people of the
Baltic provinces are represented in
the new Russian government, an Esth-
oman delegation having contrived to
attend the great conference at Uffa,
where the new all-Russian government
responsible to no one but the constit-
uent assembly and commanding the al
legiance Of the whole of Russia, was
| formed.
Ambassador Bakhmetieff is in con
slant touch with the new government,
which is keeping him advised of ev-
cry move made in Russia for the re-
generation Of the country, its re-en-
trance into the war, the abrogation
of the Brest-Litovsk treaties and the
restoration Of the nation s unity and
independence.
All principal differences between the
respective factions and regions repre-
sented in the new government have
been swept away and the overwhel%
ings majority of the Russian people is
once more united in the cause Of build
ing the new free Russia under the
guidance of the constituent assembly,
the parliament of Russia, representing
the will of all the people, as against
the usurping and bloody oligarchy Of
Lenine and Trotsky, the cables to Am.

Russia.
This government unites the over

the possibility of a premature and in
conclusive peace is so remote as to be
