GERMAN CONTROL OF
 METALS BROKEN BY
 PROPERTYCUSTOD|A|V
Republican 4. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Ger- many's control of the zinc and lead markets of the world and her tre- mendous interests in other metals was shown by a report today of the alien property custodian, 10 have been broken in large part by the release of American, Mexican and South Ameri- can mines and smelters from the dominance of German n-owned corpora tions.
 All the metal concerns in the United States which were used in this way were either abandoned or sold.
 Never a great producer of metals. Germany nevertheless wielded tremen- duus power over markets by the fact that her great metal concerns acted in concert in the purchase of ore and the establishment of smelters aided by un- limited credit from German banks which financed the sales of huge quan- titles of metals, thereby influencing prices.
 When the alien property custodian began Investigating German business in this country, he found frequent at- tempts to transfer stock to supposed Americans in an effort to circumvent seizure by the government The ef- forts were useless and the transfers were declared void and the entire busi- ness was turned over to the custodian.
 Disposition now has been decided upon in all three cases of the metal companies controlled by German capi- tai. Beer. Sondheimer and company is in process>of liquidation, includins it's subsidiaries, National Zinc company, Norfolk Smelling company and Cuba Copper Leasing company, and it was said the stock would go only into American hands. The company's con trol owe important Notation patents also has been destroyed.
 Control of L. Vogelstein and com pany has been assumed by the custo- dian for five years by means of a vot- ing trust in which the custodian names two of the three trustees, and the firm agrees not to renew relations with it's German connections in that period.
 This arrangement was devised be- cause Nogelstein is an American citi- zen and it has not been possible to learn the exact interest of Aaron Hirsch and Son in the Nogelstein as sets.
 By agreement between the custodian and American stockholders of the American Metal company. all of the stock has been put in a voting trust for | five years, with the custodian holding ! certificates of 34.s44 shares owned by enemy aliens out of a total of 10000. l The enemy owned shares will be sold | to Americans.
 "The German Metal octopus" the re- [ port concludes. has spread his l tentacles across the ocean and over the ! United States into Mexico and South ] America, but for the present surely ! and for all time. it is hoped he has been driven back and a wall of Ameri | canism erected. which it is hoped he | will never be able again to scale"

BLAME FUR ROW AT
 TEN TS|N SAID ID
 LIE WITH JAPANESE
Jap Guards Seize American Soldiers-Enter Picture Show-Held As Prisoners Treated With Cruelty Investigation Follows

PEKING. Friday. March 14.-(By the Associated Press )-While early re- ports from Tien Tsin suggested that American marines were to blame for the recent disorders there. later re- ports would seem to show that the Japanese were also at fault.
 IT is claimed that Japanese military guards entered the French concession and there seized two Americans, and when American officials inquired of the Japanese police officials if any Americans were being detained. they were given a negative answer, accord ing to a report. Later American off cials found two Americans in a police station. one of them lying almost naked in the yard, calling for water. The Japanese were induced to send the injured man to a hospital and an American consul refused to leave the station until the other man. a corporal. had been released. This demand was finally granted. The American consul was stoned by Japanese as he drove away from the station. it is said.
 When the American marines entered the Japanese consulate, they are re- ported to have attacked a visitor.
 On Thursday evening. American ma rines were entering a moving picture theater in the French concession and were attacked by a crowd of Japanese armed with sticks. They started to enter the theater and the proprietor telephoned for French police, who dis persed the Japanese
 The situation in Tien Tsin is said to be intense. The matter was referred to the French legation here.

 LEAGUE AMENDMENT
House Confers With Others Plan Seems Agreeable Constitution May Not Be In First Treaty

PARIS, March 16.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-Efforts are being di- rected today to shaping the league Of nations covenant so as to insure it's acceptance by the supreme council and win the approval of those Ameri- cans who are demanding its amend ment
 Colonel House conferred with Lord Robert Cecil, Leon Bourgeois and the American delegates, and reported to President Wilson. 1t is conceded that some of the suggested amendments can safely be adopted, for instance those safeguarding the Monroe doc Urine and fixing conditions which will permit of the adherence of the late enemy powers.
 Foreign minister Pichon today said he felt it was practically impossible to include the covenant in the first treaty. The views of neutral countries, which had been invited, and amend ments, could not be disposed of, he added, before the probably early sign ing of the preliminaries.
 The issue, the minister suggested might be met by a declaration in the treaty of the principles underlying the league, leaving the details in abey ance. The war would be ended when the preliminaries were signed, he pointed out, but the Germans would not regain their pre-war status with liberty of movement until the signing of the final treaty, pending which the blockade would be lifted only partially
 Regarding Posen, NJ. Pichon said that if the Germans persisted in theil rejection of the terms of the allied commissioners, the entente would havs to intervene. Poland could not be lef' in it's present dangerous situation. A French general would be sent to Pc land with the first Polish division which had fought in France, as soon a: possible.
 M. Pichon denied the report tina the French government had acepteC recognition to the Russian bolsheviki saying that the supreme council woulC consider the Russian question thi week.
