in Siberia.

London, April 7.-Inaignation, be-
wilderment and grief are the Feelings
expressed by the newspapers at the
revelation of the Allied position at
Murmansk, while it is urged that the
peril of the troops is a reason why the
peace conference should decide it's pol
icy towards Russia at once.
The Newspapers emphasize that no
steps must be neglected to relieve the

Paris, April 1.-THE situation in the
ArchaAgel region in Northern Russia
has been forcibly brought to the at
tention of the Peace conference by the
publication in Paris of the British
mansk and Archangel district were in
danger of determination unless they
were speedily REINFORCED.
Brigadier General w. f. Richardson,
U. S. A., is on his way to take COM
mand of the American forces in North
Russia and is expected to reach Muir
mansk with 200 soldiers in a few days.
There is apparently no change how
ever in the avowed intention to take
the American troops out of the region
at the earliest possible date.
General Tasker H. Bliss and other
American representatives here, while
admitting the gravity of the situation,
are inclined to believe that the troops
at distant outposts can retreat is neces'
sary before an advance by the Boil
sheviki, as armored trains are avail
able for all the Americans in the
region south of Archangel and Muir
manSk.
=. Relief of A%rchangel from the sea
probably will not be possible before
the end of May because OF the ice, but
the forces in the city are we'll equipped
with artillery and ammunition. There
is no direct communication at presen1
by either land or sea between Muir
smansk and Archangel. Murmansk
however, can be relieved ~immediatei,
from the sea.
The feeling in American cities herr
is that the British statement possibl.
prerequisites the gravity of tn
situation because of the desire to sem
large reinforcements and, perhaps be
cause there may be an announcement
soon of the Allied policy toward tn,

Paris, April THE food difficulties
in Germany were not solved by the
signing of the food agreement. Ton

stocks are so short that it probably
will be impossible to finish the full

some time.

Belgian King Presents Immediate
Needs of Land Devastated
by Germany.
ASKS RAW MATERIALS
Member of Belgian Peace Delegation
Says Ruler Told Council That If
Belgium Is to Live Prompt
Action Is Necessary.

Paris, April 1.-THE opinion was
expressed by responsible British
authorities that the peace treaty
would be ready for signing by
Wednesday next.
Paris, April 1.-THE most distin-
guished advocate Belgium could have
chosen has laid her case before the
peace conference.
King Albert has been in Paris the
last three days and in conference with
the representatives of the great powers
he has outlined the needs of his cOun-
try and told of the steps that must be
taken Immediately, if Belgium is to be
restored.
King Albert has had conversations
with President Wilson, Colonel House,
Premier Clemenceau and David Lloyd
George. These communications led up
to his appearance before the council
Of four today.
A member of the Belgian peace del
egation said that, shorn of all it's diplo-
matte niceties, what King Albert told
the council might be summarized
thus:
The time of promises has passed.
If Belgium is to live, the council must
act.
Questions Discussed.
Three questions Of vital immediate
Importance to the re-establishment OF
Belgium, financially, economically and
| politically were discussed.
The first question was the immediate
advance to Belgium of about $2,000,-
900 900; the second, the expectation to
Belgium from England and the United
States of raw materials, and the third
! the cession to Belgium of the left bank
Of the L'Escaut river and the Lemburg
peninsula.
The first item represents the value
of German marks left in circulation in
Belgium.
After the departure of the Germans
the ministry of finance sent out a call
to holders of the marks to deposit them
in the banks. The amount was estf
mated to be about $4,000, 0O0, 900, and
it had been the governments inten
ton to redeem them at the par value
of / franc 25 confines.
Avalanche of Marks Resulted.
Belgium was not prepared for the
avalanche of marks that resulted
Eight billion marks passed through
the banks windows into the vaults
The banks were unable to redeem this
amount of paper, and depositors were
merely given receipts. The payment
of an immediate indemnity by Ger
many-which has failed to materializf
was relied on to enable payment fo1
the deposits.
Depositors canno draw agains
these credits, with the results tina
some 10, 900, 900, 1000 of francs are idl,
as the banks are paying no interest OF
such deposits.
