Germans Expected to
Object to Treaty

For the present the Kiao-chau qucs-
ton is by common consent relegated
to consideration by a minor trium-
virate composed Of chiefs of the Far
Eastern bureaus OF Britain, France
and America, Z. r. Williams being the
American representative. and the mat
ter will probably remain with that
commission until the Fiumc problem
is solved. Finally, after the minor
and major questions arc definitely
solved, which despite optimistic in
spired statements cannot possibly be
accomplished within several weeks, the
treaty will be presented to the German
delegates, who meantime will have
kicked their heels in idlencss at Yer
gaiIlcs.
What will happen then is being spec
ulated on no doubt as much in America
as in Europe. What is expected is that
the Gcrrnans will argue that the treaty
docs not run in accord with Wilson's
principles and points upon which thcy
accepted the armjstice.
Will they refuge TO sign? II 50, will
American as well as British and French
troops be ordered to penetrate deeper
into Germany? The American delega~
ton has continually let it be under.

VERSAILLES, April 27.-Workmen
rapidly are getting into shape the
buildings of the Royal Palace and the
hotels adjoining for the meeting of the
peace congress. The preliminary ses-
slons between the German plenipoten-
tiaries and the delegates of the five
great associated and allied powers
viii be held in the room in the Tri-
anon Palace hotel in which the ses-
slons of the Supreme Allied War Coun-
Gil were held during the war.
The room in which the first discus
slons will take place is commonplace
in its associations compared with the
Will be signed. Space is limited, and
it viii not he possible for delegates of
all the powers to meet there unless
they stand, al there ID not sufficient

A large force of workmen were busy
to-day installing telephones and maxi
ing other arrangements for the con
gress, including the erection of wire
barrier IN the courtyard, from behind
which the multitude of newspaper cor
respondents will be permitted to wit
ness the arrival and departure of the
plenp potentiarics.
Another force Of workmen is en-
gagged in the park making. discreet and
unobstructive arrangements for shut

the Hotel des Reservoirs, the German
headquarters-ab about one-fourth of q
mile square through which the Ger
man representatives will pass on their
way to and from the conferences,
should it finally be decided to seclude
the Germans in this manner. 1t was
originally proposed to use barbed wire
barriers, but rustic palings, used in the
park for closing off streets and walks,
were being used to-day.
Germans Object to Restrictions
Baron Lersner, the head of the Ger
man delegation already here, has en-
tered very emphatic objections to any
restriction of the freedom of move
ment of the Germans, and has indi-
Gated strongly the attitude Of the main
German delegation on this point.
In view of these objections the
French authorities may abandon their
early plans about the barrier. NJ
Oudaill, the commissioner in charge Of
the arrangements, said that in any
event he would not close the barriers
until the opening of the congress.

Restriction OH Demands

PARIS, April a7.-In the harvest
YEAR from August, 1918, to August,
1919, Europe must import 10000, 600
tons of foodstuffs from overseas, To
meet this there is available a total of
about a5,000,000 tons, Herbert c,
Heever permanent chairman of the
food seetion Of the Supreme Economic
Council, said to-day in reviewing the
world food situation.
The available supply is sufficient To
meet the needs Of Europe. but shin.
ping conditions are not satis factory on
account OF stfikea IN many countries.
and, as result there Ia no question
that the entire American sufplus will
be absorbed. IN fact, Mr. Hoover said,
the American surplus had proved to be
the salvation of Europe.
1--WE arc now at the worst phase of
the European famine that was newt
able after this war;" Mr.. Hoover added.
"With some 50,oOO,OoO men in Europe
out Of production and turned to work
of destruction, there could be no other
ending. We have opened up all that
enormous food vacuum which was
created by German domination and
which, with the close of the war, was
added to the great demands on the AL
lies. We have had time to inve stgate
and determine fairly closely what is
needed, not to restore the normal, but
to keep body and soul together until
next summers harvest"
Americans Relieve Situation

PEKlNG, April 27 (By The Assocl-

were depressed yesterday over a re-
port that DR.. V. X. Wellington Koo,
China's chief plenipotentiary to the
peace conference, had cspoused the
claims Of Japan. The newspapers cx-
pressed editorially the gloomiest SEN
timents with regard to the matter.
The situation was greatly relieved to-
day, however, when it was learned that
the report was untrue.
DR.. Koo appeared before the Council

t,nued, will supply to Europe during
the Year ending next August foodstuffs
valued roughly at $500 100000. En-
cmy countries and noutrals will pay
cash for what they receive. while the
Allied countries arc being aided by
funds appropriated by Congress. Nh.
Hoover said he would estimate that
the United States would be placing in
Europe about $40 100000.
Demands on United States Markets
The food relief authorities arc doing
their best to control tho effect Of the
large demands OH the American mar
ket. In connection with this, Mr.
Hoover mentioned that "a statement of
his on the possible price of wheat had
been misinterpreted in some quarters.
In his earlier statement Mr Hoover
had said that in view of the demands
of the world for food, the removal of
",
sugar, pork products and cottonseed
products would be extremely danger
Gus to the American consumer. The
control of the pork vas removed and,
Mr. Hoover said has proved to be a
disadvantage to the consumer.

plastic that the CONTROL Of the proe

France, amounting to more than 90
100000 pounds, has been purchased bv
the relief council and, Mr.. HooVes
said, should furnish a sufficient supply
OF fats until harvest for liberated
countries, which should not compete
IN the American Market. Germany,
for the present, is being supplied with
fats without competing in the Ameri-
can market for pork. and the Euro
pean draft on the American pork is
limited, therefore, to the neutral and
Allied countries. which are no longer
controlled by the relief administra-
ton. The administration is purchas-
ing in the United States for relief of
enemy countries only wheat, rye and
different kinds of flour, beans, some
rice and vegetable oil products and, in
addition, condensed milk and some
other special foods for children.
The relief administration prop1 ses
that the last of the food ships under
ITS control shall sail from the United
States before uJly |. The harvest in
Europe will then enable Europe to go
on for some months without assistance.
Mr.: Hoover said it was too early to
make any prophecy as to whether the
industries in Europe would enable a
normal purchase Of food next year.
