secondary 10 the winning OF the

Uncle sam gladly accepted the

HALT RUMAN|AN
ARMY'S ADVANCE
UPON BUDAPEST
Inter-Allied Council Acts
to End Military
Campaign

Paris, Aug. 3.-(By the Associated
Press The supreme inter-allied coun-
Gil sent a message today TO the Ruman-
ian government requesting that the
Rumanian army along the Thesis river is
to cease its advance upon Budapest i'm
medately.
The council held no formal meeting
today, but its members eagerly awaited
further communication from the new
Hungarian government at Budapest.
The note which the supreme council
communicated to the Hungarian govern
ment and the Italian mission at Buda-
pest, was temperate in tone showing the
disposition on the part of the peace CON
ference to assist the Hungarian people
in an effort to create stable govern
ment under the direction Of the new
premier, Jules Peidll, need not in any
sense be considered threat of violence
against the new government.
1t laid stress, however, on the neces
sity for Hungary to comply with the
terms Of the armistice and disarm com
pletely.
Rumania and Czecho- Slovakia in ad
dition to the other Balkan states have
urged the complete disarmament of the
Hungarians Immediately and the peace
conference apparently is disposed to take
every possible step to prevent further
military action on the part of the
Hungarians.

BARS LOWERED,
YANK statesmen
ENTER GERMANY
American Export Houses
Find British and
French Ahead
State Department May
Be Called Upon to Ex-
plain Situation.
BY PAUL WILLIAMS.

Cobenz, July 31-.Via Paris, Aug. 3.
Restrictions which barred American
business men from Germany officially
have been lifted and the representatives
of export houses permitted to travel In
hitherto forbidden territory and learn
the needs of the recent enemy accumu-
lated in the last five years.
For the opportunity large firms had
been waiting for months, and made their
plans to deal extensively with the Ger
mans. only to be greeted with the first
cold fact that their customers had been
canvassed by statesmen for French and
British firms, who placed goods totaling
millions.
Perhaps the statesmen will cable home
they have been beaten. Perhaps the
export houses will ask the state depart
ment why. Perhaps the department need
not investigate what has been common
knowledge along the Rhine for many
months, viz:
Slipped One Over.
The British were going into Germany
thru Cologne. the French thru Mayence
Before the representatives of the allied
houses got into Germany military passes
were necessary, but issuance of these to
statesmen was a violation of the allied
high command orders.
In plain American, some one slipped
one over on us.
While American salesmen were cooling
their heels. waiting for the blockade to
be lifted. French and British statesmen
were getting orders in Berlin. Hamburg.
Munich and a score Of other large cities.
That does not mean they have cornered
the German trade, as it is too big for
that. but they have sold everything they
could furnish, and what may be more i'm
portant, contracted for purchases of
things needed. including chemicals.
High Prices Prevail.
For whatever America buys from Ger
many it will pay much higher than in
1914 The increase is due TO higher
wages, scarcity Of raw material and
coal The rate of exchange may have
something to do with it, as before the
war a hundred franc note was worth
so marks but now it is worth 220 marks
The Germans are complaining of the
coal shortage, but at the same time thou
sands Of tons are supplied daily to Hol-
land. Saxony is getting coal in upper
Silesa. while Dresden has no surplus for
the gas and electric power plant. Sax
ony limits freight traffic to coal, pro-
visions and paper.
Nothing is cheap infGermany. and with
the high prices the manufacturers are de-
mandng one wonders if Germany will be
successful in resuming the place in world
commerce held before the war.
