PARIS, March 14.-Brigadier Cen
eral George H. Harries, commander
of the American military forces at
Berlin, has been here for several days
to appear before the supreme war
council to render a report on the mill
tary and economic situation at the
German capitol and throughout Ger
many. General Harries has given a
dramatic recital of events in Berlin
during the past three months, culmi-
mating in serious street fighting of the
last fortnight.
When the American party left Ber-
lin, the government forces under Gus
tav Noeke, the German war minister,
had the upper hand and in General
Harries' opinion, the government will
CONTROL the situation. particularly II
food be sent to aid in holding back the
Bolshevik menace from the eastern
frontier.
The American forces in Germany
consist of eighty officers and six hun
dred men, a considerable part of the
contingent being stationed at twenty
camps at various places in Germany.
where six hundred thousand Russian
prisoners are being cared for by the
Americans The headquarters in Ber-
lin are on the second floor of the Ha-
tel Adlon, in the heart Of the city,
where much fighting has been going
on. During the early stages of the
fighting, General Harries had a mar
row escape. He was standing in a
window of the American headquarters,
when snipers bullet grazed his
breast and buried itself in window
casing by his side.
During the more recent disorders
in Berlin. the electric lights have been
extinguished, street cars stopped,
telephone and telegraph wires cut,
newspaper presses left idle and stores
closed, yet the public, according to
General Harries, shows little evidence
of panic. The streets have been
crowded with people, including women
and children, but the military forces
have kept the crowds constantly NOV
ing. The rattle of rifles and machine
guns schoes throughout the city both
day and night, but the Spartacan
bands have been gradually driven
back and have lost control of stra-
tegic centers.

ESQ AMERICANS IN
RUSS CASUALTIES
(By Associated Press)

ARCHANGEL, Thursday, March IS.
Compared to losses inflicted upon
the enemy, the allies casualties in
the fighting along the Vaga river since
Feb. 2S, have been extremely light.
1t is estimated that the Bolsheviki
have lost as least five hundred killed.
The American casualties from Feb. %
to March 9, inclusive, were five killed
on the Vaga front and ten on the
Dvina front. No officers were killed.
One American soldier is missing and
two officers and thirty men were
wounded. The total American casual
ties to date in North Russia follow:
Killed in Action-Officers, 4 men,
II. Died of Wounds-Officers, l; men
IS. Missing-Men, Sc. Died Of Dis
ease-Officers, 2; men, 67. Drowned
Officers, IL; men, 241.
The health of the expeditionary
force since the Spanish influenza epi-
demic in September and October, has
been excellent. OF the 60 deaths from
disease, 63 occurred before January 1.
Throughout the fighting the American
troops have generally been greatly out
numbered but the losses inflicted upon
the enemy have been at least two
times those suffered by the Americans.
AS the newly mobilized Russian troops
are becoming trained, they are grad
ually relieving the strain to which the
American, British and French forces
were put in the early days of the cam
paign. All American troops are now
enjoying regular rest periods, either
at Archangel or at convenient villages
behind the lines.

GOODRICH REFUSES
TO SIGN MEASURE
FOR NORMAL FUND

INDIANAPOLIS, March 14EGover-
nor James P. Goodrich today refused
to receive the Mendenhall house bill
appropriating 100000 for the aid of
private normals. The governor said
he believed the provision of the bill
to be fundamentally wrong. and il it
became law proba bly, would open up
an avenue of state aid to denomina-
tional colleges. The governors re-
fusal to receive the bill kills 1t.
Among bills the governor approved
today were those requiring that branch
banks take out charter; physical
education in all public schools Of the
state; repeating the voters registra-
tion law of 1917 and the bill which
made provision of the absent voters
law applied to municipal elections.
WON'T ACCEPT WINONA
INDIANAPOLIS, March 14-In
formal statement to Gov. James P.
Goodrich today the state normal
board said it would MT accept the Of
fer of Winona Collegelnear Warsaw as
part of the state normal system.
Some time ago the board tentatively
accepted the school but with the pro-
vision that the legislature appropriate
sufficient money for its operation.
The legislature did not set aside
funds sufficient in the opinion of the
normal board and for that reason il
said it did not feel justified in as
suming s.esponsibility for the school.

Literal Starvation Is
Impending in Germany
fBy Associated Press,

LONDON, Thursday, March 13.-If
Germany does not get quite large food
supplies during April, literal starya-
tion will result. says a Reuters dis
patch from Berlin.
The government was forced to
raise the bread ration weeks ago to
it's present status to keep the people

reads. with this ration grain sup
plies will be absolutely exhausted by
May. Cultivation is backward and
only half a harvest is expected this
year. In the meanwhile the spectre
OF Bolshevism is taking on flesh and
blood, as one can see when he passes
through the east end suburbs, or talks
with people who see behind the scenes
or with educated Russian fugitiyes in
Berlin"

Premier DeLacroix announced in the
chamber of deputies today that the
supreme council of the peace confer
ence had decided the treaty of April
10, 1889, between Belgium and Hol-
land must be revised.
parliament and the country will re-
ceive the decision with satisfaction.
They will see in it the forecast Of ac-
tions which will have profound in
fluence on the destinies of Belgium.
On March IL, 1889, exactly 80 years
ago, these walls heard the farewells
Of representative of the Belgian pro-
vinces which the execution of the
treaty was about to separate from this
country. The house cannot but be
moved by such memorable coinci-
dence."
The deputies stood while the prem
ier was speaking and there was en-
thusiastic applause from all parts Of
the chamber
The treaty of April 10, 1889. between
Belgium and Holland, was signed at
London and ended an intermittent
warfare which had lasted since 1880
when the Belgians revolted against
Holland to which Belgium had been
united by the congress of Vienna on
May 81, 1916. It provided for the
separation of the two countries but
was less advantageous to Belgium
than had been expected, meeting with
much opposition in the Belgian parlia-
ment. The treaty stipulated that the
duchy of Luxembourg should be divid-
ed with the king OF Holland retaining
the fortress of Luxembourg. To COM
pensate Holland for the loss of the
rest of this duchy, the province of
Limburg was divided as was the dis
trict of Maestricht. The Scheldt river
was declared to be open to the COM
merce of both countries and the ma
tional debt was divided.
The treaty was ratified by France,
Great Britain, Austria and Prussia,
the powers recognizing the independ-
ence of Belgium as a neutral state"
1t was this conviction, which on Aug
ust /, 1914, was called a scrap of
paper" by Germany when she massed
her troops for the invasion Of Belgium.

Peace Treaty Will Include
Provision That Ysing-Tau
and Shantung Concessions
be Surrendered.
PLAN TREATY REVISION
tBy Associated Press,

PARIS, March 14.-The supreme
council OF the peace conference has
virtually decided to include in the pre-
| l1minary treaty of peace a requirement
that Germany shall relinquish her
lease hold on Tsing-Tau and all prop
critics and concessions on the Shan
tung peninsula.
No attempt. is is understood, will
be made at the present to render a
decision as to the ultimate possession
of Germany's rights, which is now the
subject of controversy between the
Japanese and Chinese delegations in
Paris. The former holds that Japan
acquired the lease hold as right O,
conquest over the German forces there
although she is willing to permit the
ultimate status Of the Shantung PENN
sula to be determined by the peace
conference. China contends the lease
was automatically cancelled by the ex-
pulsion of the Germans, who original
ly acquired it by force and that the
property reverts to China.
1t is expected that the final ad-
justment will be made in the definite
peace treaty or by the league of ma
tions, unless, in the meantime, the
principals to the controversy reach a
mutually satisfactory agreement.
Aerial Terms Adopted
The aerial terms of the German dis
armament as adopted yesterday by the
supreme war council provide that air
planes and dirigibles shall no longer
be used for military purposes. The
council concluded that 1t was not feas-
ible to prohibit airplanes for CONNER
cial uses.
The drafting committee was direct
ed to make clear the distinction ex-
cepting commercial airplanes in the
terms incorporated in the peace terms.
All forms of military airplanes are
barred to Germany, the only exception
being the temporary use until Oct. l
of 100 hydro-airplanes and 1000 men
in gathering mines in the North Sea.
Germany must deliver all airplanes
to the allies and must prohibit the
the conclusion of peace, the supreme
war council decided. The terms do
not decide the future fate of the air
planes, which may either be destroyed
or divided among the allies. The
British and American delegates have
brought up the question of a distinc-
ton between commercial aerial nav
igation which will be authorized for
Germany after conclusion of peace un.
der certain guarantees, and military
aerial navigation, which will be pro-
hibited.

BARLEY GOOD FEED FOR HOGS
Especially Desirable Crop in Regions
Where Good Corn Cannot Be
Easily Matured.

The high prices of feeding grains at
the present time is causing many farm
ers To turn their attention to barley.
according Ia the farm crops and animal
husbandry workers at the New York
state college Of agriculture, who point
out that barley seems an especially de
sirahe crop In regions where good
grain corn cannot be easily maturcd.
Barley Is richer than corn In protein,
II is pointed out, though II is not so
rich in fat and contains "a slightly
smaller amount of total dlgestible nu.
triment. Experiments have shown
that barley Is almost as efficient ms
corn in fattenlng hogs.
In order to appreciate It's true farm
value. the farmer must consider bar
icy as feed and the state college
workers think that In much Of New
York state where the soils are adapted
To Il the area devoted 10 barley should
be expanded. even at the expense Of
the oat crop. Indeed. II would appear
that barley can often be substituted to
advantage for oats In cropping
schemes. II has been found that bar.
ley not only produces more pounds Of
grain 20 the acre on the average. but
also more pounds Of dlgestible nutri-
snts than oats.
