WAR LIABILITY
Erzberger, Head of Armlstice
Commission, Declares Ger
many Liable Only to Belgium
For %IndemnitieS. ...
b. Associated Press.

Copenhagen, March 19.--If the allies
load the peace treaty with conditions
going beyond President Wilson's ii
points, the German national assembly
Will have to refuse it's assent to the
treaty, Matthias Erzberger. head of the
German armistice commission, declared
IN an address at a Berlin meeting on
the subject Of a league Of nations, &C
cording to dispatch from the German
capital today. The matter Their would
be left to a referendum Of the German
nation, he said.
Herr Erzberger acclaimed any obli-
cation upon Germany to give compen-
sation for acts she committed after her
first peace offer in December, 1915.
The speaker declared that the only
means OF calling a halt on bolshevism
was the abandonment of the mailed
fist policy Of the allies"
Confidence in Wilson.
The German people, said Herr Err
berger, had almost unlimited conf
dence in President Wilson and he hoped
that the League of Nations covenant as
promulgated February IA, would not
be finally adopted. as he declared it was
a compromise Of the ideals Of President
Wilson. with the imperialistic aspira-
tons Of some of the allies. The Ameri-
can president, Herr Erzberger insisted,
was under obligations to advocate the
immediate admission Of Germany to
the league.
Honesty for Belgium.
Herr Erzberger asserted that Ger
many was prepared to accept the vote
Of ce-Lorraine as to its future, but
he referred to the reported aspirations
Of France respecting the Rhineland and
TO Poland's claims to Danzig as
Grimes" adding:
What is German will remain Ger
man" '"E
AS far as the demands for COM
~pensation were concerned. Herr Err
berger declared there was no moral
obligation upon Germany regarding
compensation. aside from the case of
Belgium. In that case Germany would
act honestly he said.

Archangel, March i9.-The futile at
tack which the bolshevlsts delivered
yesterday on the allied and American
forces comprised the first serious at
tempt to cut the line Of communication
of the Dvina and Vaga columns. The
attempt was not only frustrated. but
the bolshevist forces suffered a severe
defeat and sustained heavy losses.
Moving from the Kandish- TareZvo
sector the first battalion Of the sixth
soviet regiment. 500 strong, attacked
at 1:45 o'clock in the afternoon the al
lied positions in the village Of Gorka,
which is rs miles north Of Beresnik, at
the junction Of the Vaga and the Dviua.
The American Russian detachment at
Gorka was we'll intrenched and II de-
cisively repulsed the enemy, capturing
five prisoners and five machine guns
during the fighting. After the attack
the bodies of 81 bolshevists were found.
The allied force suffered only n cas-
ualty, a man wounded.
Vaga Section Quiet.
The Vaga sector in h vicinity or
Kitsa is quiet, as are the other fronts.
American officers who returned TO-
day from the Vaga front declared that
the b~olshevists sustained exceedingly
heavy losses last week. They related
one particular instance Of such losses
to the correspondent. 1t occurred after
the enemy had RACED with artillery fire
nearly all the b~lockhouses in Vistavka.
Rush Into Trap.
All the defensive troops withdrew
with the exception Of a squad OF
Americans, who lay concealed in a
partly destroyed block house with ma
chine guns. The enemy scouts ad-
vanced and were permitted to cut the
barbed wire entanglements. On doing
this, they shouted back 10 their COM
rades that the village had been aban-
doned.
When the first colum3 OF the bolshe-
visits walked uhSuspectingly up to the
entanglements the Americans inside
the block house turned their machine
guns loose and moved down the entire
enemy party. After this the defensive
forces went back into Vistavka.
or the total of 36 Americans listed
as missing since the beginning OF hos
tilities on this front 1T has been re-
ported that 10 are prisoners in the
b~olshevist hospital at Velsk. This in

Allied Allotment Through Brus-

BY Associated Press.

Berlin, March 1e.-Indicaticns AFRO
that the average German Is not en-
thusiastic over the amount Of food he
is likely TO get under the provisioning
agreement with tho allies. Attcr his
first feeling Of enthusiasm over the
singing Of the long desired arrange
ment he Immediately began to figure
out his share Of the provisions under
the terms Of the document. an extended
summary of which was published Of
ficlally yesterday, and such comment
as is made reflects All ~undeniabie feel
ing of disappointment at the quantity
provided.
This was particularly the case he-
cause the newspapers in reducing the
totals to figures Of pounds per capita,
take as the basis of their estimates the
population before the war and work
out the result at 10 pounds monthly
per person, instead Of the approximate
IS pounds which results from a COM
putation upon the basis on a popula-
ton of As 900, 900. excluding the self
providers from the number as the food
ministry contemplates doing. This
means that the allotment would be a
half pound OF flour and one-tenth OF
a pound Of fats per day to supplement
the waning German food stocks.
In commenting on the agreement.
Vorwaerts predicts that the ~independ-
ent socialists and the Spartacans Will
make capital Of the fact h a there Is
a provision in the agreement that no
food shall be allotted to those who are
unemployed through their own fault.
The newspaper characterizes the
agreement as anything but a success
Prices Source of Worry.
Arrangements for foreign credits is
only one part of a difficult financial
problem confronting Germany in con-
nection with the supply Of o from
abroad. The price Of various food
stuffs, particularly cereals, on the
world markets is so high compared
with the maximum prices which Ger
many maintained on rationed food
stuffs during the wal that some meth
cd must be found to make up the Diff
ferences in cost II the price of bread Is
to be within the reach of the majority.
The constant strikes and discomfort or
labor which are the breeding ground
for disorder and worse, are caused
largely by the inability Of the poorer
classes to meet the cost Of. living on
present wages. The government Is
aware that II the price OF bread, which
now is 50 to SO pfennigs for a two
pound. Is increased three or -four times,
the entire laboring class and many Of
the lower middle classes might swing
over into bolshevism. r."
