Some officers sug- gested that the German minister of marine evidently is forcing himself to believe submarines failing to report over an extensive period have simply been delayed in their return. In the course of time, however, the failure of individual members of their crews to return home would force an ad- mission of the loss of the boats.

While figures may not be published. it was stated posi- lively that transportation requirements of the army are being met by the ship ping board and the situation as to ships was declared to be satisfactoryi
 It is felt strongly that the opening of major operations in what President Wilson has predicted will prove the decisive offensive of the great war will not be much longer delayed
 In Flanders indications this year are that the ground will harden early in spring permitting either side 10 und- ertake the enterprises planned.
 In previous years April has seen Of- fensive operations set in motion by the allies. For that reason many officers here seem to anticipate Taiding an0 minor assaults before the middle os next month which will show in them selves that the ground is being mapped, useful knowledge obtained and local strategic advantages estab- lished by one side or the other in pre- paration for a great campaign.
 It appears probable that no offen- sive will be undertaken on any con- siderable scale before May 1. Observ- CTS base that view on reports that the French offensive in 1916 started in April, proved obe at least two weeks too early The guns and transports could not be brought forward to con soIidate all the ground the troops were able to wrest from German control

WASHINGTON. March Mex ico has been resquested by the American government to delay enforcement of and reconsider its decree of last February 22. i'm posing heavier taxes on oil pro duoers and cancelling oil leases made since April 90. 1917. Both American and English operators in the Mexican fields have pro tested that the new tax virtually is confiscaiory. As large part of the oil supply for the British naval forces comes from Mexico any interruption of the output would be a serious obstacle in the conduct of the war asainst the Central Powers. Consequently both the United States and Great Britain regard the decree as subject for diplomatic handling in view of the report that Mexican officials are determined to ea- force it immediately.
 Ambassador Fletcher at Mexico City is understood to have includ- ed this subject in the list Of pend ing questions requiring adjust ment before there can be an agreement between the two gov ernments for a freer exchange of foodstuffs and other commodities which Mexico needs.
 The new tax is levied against land owners who operate their own properties and upon all rent als Or leases and royalties paid by those developing the land Upon leases amounting to five pesos a year per hectare approx imately 2ia acres the tax is 10 per cent, leases from five to ten pesos per year. twenty per cent and leases exceeding ten pesos a year. fifty per cent
 Most leases are made on rental and 9 royalty basis and in addition to taxes on rental fifty per cent of all royalties must be raid. either in money or oil as the department of finance may determine Heavier taXfs also are imposed on the land owners.

King and Queen Make Appeal to America; Compelled to Sign Peace Treaty Upon Terms of Teutons.

JASSY, Rumania. Monday, March -(By Wireless to Saiouiki. Tuesday. March 5)-(By the Associated Press) Intense indignation is felt by the army and people of Rumania over the terms of the preliminary peace imposed upon Rumania by the Central Powers. With it's military forces scattered and its hopeless strategical position, Rumania had no recourse ex- cept to yield to her powerful and ruthless fee.
 The Rumanian example is pointed to as a repetition Of the bitter fase suffered by Serbia and Belgium
 The royal family .s greatly depres- sed over the disassous course of events. Both the king and queen through the Associated Press express the earnest hope tsat the American people will have a sympathetic ap- preciation of the tragical circum- stances that forced peace on Ruman:a and that the warm friendship that has always existed between the two nations will in no wise be impaired. Hope is felt by the royal family and the people that when world peace comes some of the sacrifices now be- ing ma deby Rumania will be recog- nized and recOmpensed- Rumania'S s delegates at the final peace confer enee in Bucharest will be MT. Arse- tcyanu minister of justice, General Lupercu of the Russian army; Col onel Pircescu, former military attache at Berlin; Mir Papiniu, former Ruman- ian minister to Turkey and Mir Bur chelle of the foreign office.

 Under the peace. terms. Rumania not cnly will have to give up Dobr'ld- ia, lose control of the Danube and en- dure other great economic sacrifices but she will be compelled to yield to Germany large wheat, petroleum and salt concessions. It is understood that Germany will control of the Rumau- ian railways for a period of fifteen years and will have possession of the four principal fortified posses through the Carpathians. All German goods are to enter Rumania free of duty while all Rumanian goods will go into Germany under the old tariff with the exception Of certain reductions. Ultimatum Issued.
 Germany served her final ultima tum on Rumania yesterday giving the little kingdom only "A hours in which to make a final decision. A crown council was held and it was decided that Rumania. completely isolated and without outside support would have [ to bow to the force of circumstances and take a course from which there i appeared to be no escape.

King Ferdinand asked him If he would assume his old position at the head of the cabinet and accept the re- [ sronsibility for refusing Germany : | terms.
