Financial Enuoys
WIN Meet Germans at
COnipiegne Thursday

PARIS, March 31.-(By The Asso
clated Press ).-The first meeting be-
tween the financial commission Of the
peace conference and the German finan-
cial agents will take place Thursday at
Complegne, where an indefinite session
will be held for the purpose of arrang
ing the exchange of German securities
for foodstuffs
After the first session it is probable
no members of the Allied financial com
mission will remain in Compiegne, as
the business to be transacted will be
of such nature that trained bankers
can conduct it without assistance from
the executive members of the commits
sion.
In addition to Compegne. committees
are also working at Cologne for the
disposition of raw material, at Rot
terdam on arrangement concerning
shipments Of food, and at Spa con-
corning the details of taking over Ger
man shipping. The committee at Rot
terdam is tho same one that looked
after Belgian relief work before the
armistice was signed.
The German commission has been
authorized to give an exact descrip-
tion of the financial situation of Ger
many TO tho representatives Of the
Allies, according to German wireless
message received in London.

Culgoa, at Sea 26 Days,
Reports Engine Trouble
U. S. Transport Steaming West
ward at Speed of Four Knots;
48O Miles OFF Hatteras

The United States transport Culgoa,
which left Brest twenty-six days ago,
and was due at this port last week,
reported by wireless yesterday that
she had machinery trouble and was
steaming westward at speed Of about
four knots. Her position at the time
the radio was sent was about 4SO miles
east Of Cape Hatteras. Unless repairs
enable her to increase her speed she
will not arrive here for three or four
days.
The Culgoa is a supply ship and has
on board 100 men, two officers Of the
A. Il. +. and ono civilian. According to
her wireless message, she had been
hard hit by storm since leaving the
Azores, March 10, and was forced to
heave yesterday for ten hours while
repairs were being made to her cir
culating pump. The Culgoa did not
ask for assistance, stating that she had
a coal supply sufficient to carry hor
for six or seven days.
1t was said yesterday at Hoboken
that no fears were held for the safety
Of the Culgoa as she was a seaworthy
vessel.

LONDON, March 31.-In connection
with the discussion which has been
carried OF in the German press as to
whether Prince Max of Baden, then
Imperial Chancellor, took the initiative
in demanding and Offering peace last
October, the Wolff Bureau publishes
a letter from Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg, dated October 80, which shows
that on that date German army head
quarters confirmed the demand it had
made In September that such peace Of
fers should be made. In his letter Won
Hindenburg said:
"In consequence Of the disaster on
the Macedonian front, with it's atten-
dant weakening of the reserves of the
West front, and in consequence of the
impossibility of replacing the great
losses sustained in recent encounters,
there is now, humanity speaking, no
longer any possibility of our being able
to impose peace on the enemy. Our
opponents are constantly receiving re-
inforcements. While the elements of
our rear still hold together and may
still offer some resistance to the re-
newed attacks of the enemy, our situa-
tion is becoming very precarious and
may at any moment place the army
command under the necessity of max
ing comprehensive decision.
"In these circumstances, it is imper-
ative that we cease the struggle in or
der to save the German people and our
allies from unnecessary sacrifices.
Every days loss in this respect costs
the lives Of thousands of German sol
diers."
On receipt of this letter, says tho
Wolff Bureau. the government had no
choice but to take steps at once to OBJ
tain an armistice and to offer to con-
clude peace.

Prisoners

BERLIN, March 30.-(By The Asso-

of Greater Berlin has adopted the ap-
peal of the Communist Workmen's q
Council Tor the release of Georg Lede-
bour and other political prisoners. It
was decided to demand of Chancellor
Scheidemann that he effect the release
of these men Immediately on the basis
OF a promise made March 6. On that
date the Chancellor said he was unable
to grant amnesty until "order and Quiet
has been restored in Berlin"
Herr Geisberg, Minister Of Posts and
Ielegraphs, at the same time gave his
word of honor that he would appeal ia
the Cabinet for their release as soon
as Berlin was quiet

order has been reestablished, and de.
mands that the promise be redeemed.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-01

manians at last persuaded the Allies
to permit them to advance and occupy
substantially all the Hungarian region
inhabited by the Rumanians, and an
ultimatum demanding Hungarian re-
tirement In conformity with this situa-
tion was served upon Hungary. In the
presence OF this demand, Karolyi re-
signed and turned the country over to
the Bolshevists.
Actually the situation was this: No
government could live in Hungary
which agreed to the ultimatum or in
dicated willingness to accept treaty
of peace based on such an ultimatum.
That orderly government which had
existed, namely, the Karolyi govern
ment, threw up its hands. There was
no revolution coming from below;
there was deliberate surrender at the
top to the Bolshevists. Confronted
with something approximating a death
sentence, the orderly government re-
signed.
ment had two things in mind: First,
it could hope that Bolshevism, invited
officially, might be restrained within
limits, and, second, it must hope that
the Allies, terrified by the new con-
quest of Bolshevism, would concede
better terms to Hungary In any event,
the government gave it up in Hungary
and invited the Bolshevists in as a
last hope of preserving national su-
premacy in the old national domains.
We have, then, something that neces-
sarily compels looking backward and
forward. Looking backward, one Per
last week was to follow the precedent
of Brest-Litovsk, where Lenine and
Trotzky, unable to resist the German
demands, refused to agree to them and
left Germany to enforce upon the body
Of Russia what she could not acquire
with the consent Of the Russian will
We know now that Brest-Litovsk was
the greatest blunder that Germany
made. We know now that in the end
Bolshevism came to Berlin, the Kaiser
did not go to Pretrograd.
Now the Hungarians have simly en-
ployed the Brest-Litovsk example, not
this time in the service of Bolshevism,
of economic class warfare, of COM
munism, but in the interests of ma
tionalism, in the interests of the Mag
var race; and this is precisely what
we may expect the Germans to do
when the treaty of peace which we arc
still formulating in Paris is finally
completed and they are asked for their
signature.
