Glenn f. Plumb comes to Richmond today
to explain his Soviet system of railroad
ownership and control. He will have an
attentive and respectful audience, but it may
be doubted if his proposals whereby the en-
ployees would conGscate the railroads will
find many sympathetic hearers. Richmond is
q conservative community, and it has not yet
reached the point where it can applaud any
adaptation OF Russian ideals.

for railway material are made TO the

Poland was allotted 100 engines and
1000 trucks out of a total handed over
by the Germans at the armistice and
she has been granted credit for the
purchase of other railway material
which she needs badly. Unfortunately
but small fraction OF the armistice

seem to be settled with the signing of
peace, but the Poles win never believe

with Polish railway personnel are rum
ming between Danzig and Warsaw and
until goods are handled IN docks at
Danzig under Polish supervision.
Though the Germans are ready to sign
Danzig out OF Germany, German troops
are still in West Prussia and the Poles
have too ample evidence Of German de-
signs to believe they will evacuate Dan

Danzig is part and parcel Of the trans

IN the armistice as referring only TO

Commission in Charge Of Teu-

Revictualling.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, July 5.--Germany has indi-
Gated her desire to begin Immediately
her compliance with the terms Of the
peace treaty regarding reparations. Her
request for oral conferences Of German
economic experts with allied experts has
been granted by tho Allies. According
to present Indications the conferences
will begin early next week.
Baron Kurt Won Lersner OF the Ger
man peace delegation sent note from
Versailles saying that German experts
are prepared to meet those Of the Allies
for consideration OF questions involved
in turning over to the allied countries
the coal, dXestuffs. shipbuilding ma
terlals and other commodities specified
In the peace treaty.
The note also expressed the desire to
discuss at the same time, or at an
earlier date, the agreement regarding
occupation of the left bank of the
Rhine. Baron Won Lersner says the Ger
mans signed this convention with the
understanding that they would have an
opportunity to discuss 1t.
A permanent reparations commission
has not been appointed by the Allies.
Until IL is constituted the commission
which had been created to name various
conference commissions will act ~ the
German negotiations. The American
member Of this commission is John Eos
ter Dulles. The fact that these nego-
tiations will be personal marks the new
status OF the relations between Germany
and the Allies.
The Peace Conference commission on
geographical frontiers met to-day to
draft an answer to the note of the Aus
TRAN delegation on the question OF the
| future frontiers of Austria Capt. Andre
I Tardieu presided.
The commission in charge Of the exc
cution of the treaty with Germany held
its first meeting to-day, while the SUI

afternoon TO consider questions in the
