Trains Cross Germany

COBLENz, April II (By The Asso-
cated Press).-Seventy-fve American
officers, with interpreters, have been
assigned for duty on trains which will
cross Germany with Polish troops. On
each train there will be an Allied con-
voy and at each German station where
trains will stop there will be Allied
guards.
Successful cooperation between Ger
man technical railway workers and Ger
man military authorities, on one hand,
and the Polish troops, on the other,
will be insured by the intervention of
Allied guards ana officers whenever
necessary. The military mission in
charge of the transportation of General
Haller's forces consists of thirty two
members. the American, French, Brit
ish and Belgian armies providing eight
officers each, with an interpreter and
clerk. The commission passed Cobenz
on Tuesday to take up stations along
the route which will be travelled by
the Poles.
Amy singing or manifestation of such
a nature that might cause conflicts with
the Germans is prohibited on the trains.
Every six hours there will be stops to

He Can Prove Truth

American Aviator, Accused
of ''Faking,'' Presents
Testimony of Loss Of
plane by the British

PARIS, April 17.-The defence in the
court martial of Captain L. G. Cham
berain, of San Antonio, Tex, was
opened this morning by statement
from the captains attorney, Donald
Harper, that the defence would show
that Captain Chamberlain did make un-
official flights with British squadron
on July q and %, 1918, and would
produce corroborating circumstances
to prove the accusation utterly with out
foundation that Captain Chamberlain
forged, prepared OR had prepared foi
him documents recording the flights.
Mr.. Harper said it would be shown
that the defendant had no knowledge
of such documents until they were
shown to him by his superior officer
on August u. The accused officer, the
attorney declared, claims nothing by,
through or under such reports except
that the accounts of the flights and
combats attributed to him are sub
stantly correct, and would point out
that upon his return from the unofficial
fights he did not claim any publicity
for his feats, the publicity arising only
through the action of some ono else
Captain Chamberlain, his attorney
stated. denies all the charges.

Peace Terms Speech
OF Lloyd George Is
Hailed AS Triumph
Only Northcliffe and Labor
Organs Condemn Outline
of Pact as Explained by
Premier to Parliament

LONDON, April 17.-While opinions
are divided regarding the substance Of
the address of Premier Lloyd George
before the House of Commons yester-
day, there is general agreement by
the London press that it was a great
parliamentary triumph, as, indeed, was
shown by the rousing cheers of his
audience and the expressions of in
dividual members in the lobbics. With
the exception Of the Laborite and
Northcliffe newspapers, none of the
morning journals condemns the Pre-
mier's statement wholly, while several
warmly applaud it. These admit that
Mr.. Lloyd George revealed nothing of
the peace terms, but they do not COM
plain.
THE Telegraph" tor instance, says
that his general account of the terms
will give deep satisfaction" and adds
that he demolished the whole struc-
ture his critics built on his supposed
departure from his election

"The Express" declares its full belief
in the Prcmier's statement that his
pledges Will be found embodied in the
peace terms, and says that he retains
the complete confidence of. the nation.
'"1hc Graphic" /, equally favorable. and
says, incidentally, that Mr. Lloyd
Georges statement "justifics the as
sumption that President Wilson has
abandoned his opposition, or ALLEGED
opposition. to tho sterncr views Of
those powers which suffered most in
the war"
Those who attack individual mem
bcrs Of the peace conference when
the chief concern Of everybody il tho
public interest are condemned bv "Thc
Chronicle" which says: 'If the pence
terms eventually disappoint any sane
expectation, the fault will lie less with
the statesmcn in Paris than with the
peoples they represent"

action Of most severe tcrms from Ger

Freed Doughboys' Hearts

There are no signs Of Bolshovism in
the section of German territory around
Coblenz. policcd by American armies
of occupation, according to Edgar
Pouch, of Pouch & Co., brokers, who
has just returned from Germany,
where, for time. he was associate re-
gional director Of Y NJ. c. A. activi-
ties in the Coblenz area.
"The advent~of the American dough-
boy and his money spending proclivi-
ties apparently brought happiness, con-
tcntment and prosperity to these oc-
cupied sections of Germany" said Mr..
Pouch yesterday.
Everybody is busy working. They
have no time to be Bolsheviks in the
occasional rumblings from the towns
further inside. Business is humming
and the Germans are gathering in
money by minlstering to the great
American craving for souvenirs, trim
kets, postcards, ice cream, refreshments
and amusements.
Germans Given Work
"Thousands of Germans are being
employed by the Americans in con-
struction and various mechanical work.
They seem to be happy. There is little
talk of the war among them; it is not
a favorite topic of conversation.
"The Germans feared the American
doughpoy at first. They thought that
with the invasion of the Americans
there would be pillagng looting and
all the things the conQuering German
had spread before him. The result was
everybody who could afford to do so
fled. Wealthy people deserted fine
residences and the scum of Coblenz
promptly moved into the finest apart
ments in the city. When the Germans
found that our men were we'll be-

opposite Coblenz. The old 69th was
quartered for time near the famous

The people in each locality Should
De given, as under the regime Of the
belgian Relief Commission, the full
est opportunity to advise your com
mission upon the methods and the
personnel by which their communi-
ty is to be relieved.
Hostilities Must Cease
IN no other circumstance could
1T be believed that the purposc of
TINS relief was humanitarian and not
political. Under no other conai
tons could it be certain that the
hungry would be fed.
That such course would involve
the cessation of hostilities within
definite lines in the territory of
Russia is obvious. And the cessa-
ton pf hostilities would necessarily
involve complete suspension of the
transfer of troops and military ma
terlal of all sorts to and within
Russla's territory.
Indeed, relief to Russia which
did not mean return to a state of
peace would be futile and would be
impossible to consider.
Under such conditions as we have
outlined, we believe that your plan
could be successfully carried into
effect, and we should be prepared to
give it our full support.

VIENNA, April II (By Associated

propaganda westward is being greatly
favored by the laxity of frontier
regulations, the most lax being those
of Poland. Trains are now arriving
at Budapest and Vienna from the
East carrying numbers of agents sup
piled with all sorts of false passports
and false money.
The observations of the correspon-
dent show that the best guarded from

sia. where the Bolsheviki are made to
understand they are not welcome.

Polish troops from France to Poland
according to advices received here.
Local fighting continues on the bor-

The German-inspired false version
of the Allied attitude, as understood
in Poland, was made known on April

ference with Marshal Foch on his ar
rival in Paris, Paderewski said he had
been misinformed regarding the act
ual proceedings at Spa, where the
question was considered by the armis-
tice delegates, and that the true Allied
attitude was not known in Poland.
Marshal Foch had agreed that Gen

through Danzig only when necessary.

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 17.-While the
State Department has refraincd from
discussing the situation openly. it is
understood that officials of the de-
partment hold the opinion that the eX~
ecution of a food relief programme in
Russia will not involve any rccog-
milton of the Bolshevist government;
nor will it compel the inauguration Of
any form of diplomatic relations with
the Bolsheviki
The probable scheme to be followed,
it is understood, will be the granting
of liberal permissons to the neutral
countries to supply Russia with food
under assurances that their food stocks
will be replaced by the Interallied Food
Commission, of which Herbert Hoover
is Director General.
Food will not be sent into Russia
on charitable basis, it is understood
On the contrary the neutrals will be
authorized only to sell. Since Russia
is without gold and her paper cur
mean that there must be an exchange
of commodities. This would tend, it
is pointed out. to rehabiak bate Russia
economically by eliminating the con-
dltlon of industrial paralysis on which
Bolshevism has thrivcd.
1t is believed here that while the
Paris conference may undertake to Sc
cure some arrangement with the Boil
sheviki to cease hostilities in return
for food supplies. this will not be an
unal rable condition antecedent to
feeding Russia. 1t is pointed out that
the Russian forces combating Boshev-
ism have refused to cease fighting.

down arms under such conditions
would be impracticable, it is pointed
out In consequence, it is believed
here that the food relief programme

lists decline to accede to the request

Teuton Shipping Agent
Locks Self in Stateroom
OH Patricia, Off Boston,
and Crosses Electric Wires
Believed To Be Insane
Crew of Surrendered Vessel
Puts Out Flames After
all Exciting Struggle

BOSTON, April 17.-Julius Fischer,
sn agent of the Hamburg American
Steamship Line. set fire to stateroom
Of the transport Patricia on Tuesday
night, while the vessel was steaming to
this port with nearly 5000 American
soldiers The fire was extinguished by
members of the crew and Fischer was
placed in irons.
The Patricia halls from Hamburg
and is one of the first of the German
merchant fleet to be turned over for
use by the United States according to
an agreement with Germany. Fischer
is one of several Germans who were
allowed to remain on board the liners
10 represent the vessels owners.
The German was taken to the Naval
Hospital tonight for observation.
Other German agents and number of
American officers on the Patricia said
Fischer began to act strangely when
the steamer was four days out of
Brest. and that he was confined in a
sateroom, under guard. Earnest
Weimmer, chief of the German agents,
insisted that Fischer was mentally
unbalanced when he set the fire
Exciting Time Aboard
Major Frank W. Cavanaugh, former
Dartmouth football coach, said the
doughboys had an exciting few min
utes when it was learned that q Ger
man had set fire to the ship, and that
members of the crew were tightinc O
the blaze.
I'VE had no idea at the time" he
said chow serious the fire was. The
German kept out of sight for the rest
Of the voyage"
Fischer, according to Major Cava-
naugh, set the fire by manipulating
electrical wires when the man who was
guarding his stateroom went to an
other part Of the ship. When the
guard returned he found that Fischer
had locked himself in the room and
that smoke was coming from the open
lngs along the door.
The guard called to Fischer and re-
ceiyed no response. He called men,
bers Of the crew, who smashed down
the stateroom door and flooded the
room with water and chemicals. The
bed clothing and the woodwork in a
NV4iVl VI liiS CdDiu were DuTneQ.
Fischer was standing in the stateroom,
apparently unconcerned. Officers were
unable to obtain an explanation from
him.
Threw Cigarette Case Into Sea
Captain Charles S. Windsor, Of the
Patricia, said the first time it was no.
tlced that Fischer was not acting nor
maly was when he threw overheard a
silver cigarette case lent to him by an
American captain. The officer had of
fered the German a cigarette. Fischer
ran to his stateroom after this act and
returned with dollar bill which he at
tempted to give to the American.
Captain Windsor said Fischer vio-
ently abused anything American. The
Germans were given free run of the
vessel and, except for Fischer, caused
no trouble
The Patricia reached Commonwea alth
pier shortly after ? o'clock, coming up
the harbor under escort of the welcom-
ing boats and amid din of whistles.
