MR.. DANIELS VIEWS MARINES
FROMPARAPET OF GERMANF FORT

COBLENZ. Thursday, April II (by
the Associated Press).-From a para
pet of the fortress Ehrenbreitstein,
more than 400 feet above the junction
of the Moselle and Rhine. Secretary
Josephus Daniels of the United States
Navy had his first glimpse this after
noon Of American marines on duty.
Patrol boats were darting back and
forth among the barges and tugs on
the river, the American flag stream
ing from the stern mast of each lit
tie boat.
At the point where the Moselle
joins the Rhine stands heroic statue
OF Emperor William 1. said to be the
largest of it's kind in Germany. Be
yond the statue there are great piles
of lumber which aroused Secretary
Daniels curiosity as he looked down
upon the activity of Coblenz. which
has been increased twofold by the
American occupation of the city. 1t
was explained to him that the lumber
was intended for new buildings which
viii serve as recreation centers and
barracks for the American soldiers
OF the army Of occupation.
Mr.. Daniels was taken through the
underground passages of the Ehren-
breitstein fortress which were built
partly by labor paid for by 10000. 900
francs which the Germans exacted
from France and was shown the &C
commodations of American artillery
men. where but a few months ago

thousands of German soldiers had
quartered. He also inspected the mo-
torized equipment Of the 18th Artil-
lery Regiment. which under Col f.
w. McCable. formerly cavalry officer
said to be the first American artil-
lery unit fully equipped with motors
Mr.. Daniels will review tomorrow

Problems of Transport.

THE problems of transport in Rus
sia and of distribution can be solved
only by the people Of Russia them
selves, with the assistance. advice and
supervision of your commission Sub
ject to such supervision, the problems
of distribution should be solely under
the control Of the people Of Russia
themselves.
That such a course would involve
the cessation of hostiiities within
definite lines in the territory of Rus
sia is obvious. And the cessation of
hostilities would necessarily involve
a complete suspension of the transfer
of troops and military material Of all
sorts to and within Russia's terri
tory"

Movement Non-Political.

The governments. the peoples
cooperate without thought of polit!-
any proposal which would relieve this
situation in Russia. 1t seems to us
that such committee as you pro-
pose would offer a practical means of
acquiring the beneficent results you
have in view and could not. either in
its conception or its operation, be
considered as having any other aim
than the humanitarian purpose Of
saving life.
There are great difficulties to be
overcome. political difficulties given
to the existing situation in Russia
and difficulties of supply and of trans
port. but if the existing local govern
ments of Russia are as willing as the
governments and peoples whom we
represent to see succor and relief
given to the stricken people of Rus
sia. no political obstacle will remain.
There will remain. however, the
difficulties of supply. finance and
transport which we have mentioned,
and also the problem of distribution
in Russia itself. The problem of sup
ply we can ourselves hope to solve in
connection with the advice and CO.
operation of such a committee as you
propose. The problem of finance would
seem to US to fall upon the Russian
authorities. The problem of transport
of supplies to Russia we can hope to
meet with the assistance Of your own
and neutral governments, whose in
terests should be as great as our own
and whose losses have been less.

President Wilson and the premiers
today:
The misery and suffering in Rus
sia described in your letter of April
appeals to the sympathies of all
peoples. 1t is shocking to humanity
that millions of men and women and
children lack the food and nourish-
ment which makes life endurable.

Clemenceau Finally Yields.

Premier C1emenceau withheld his
approval of the proposition tempo
raHly, but added his signature today
to those of Premiers Orlando and
thus virtually assuring the immediate
economic relief of soviet Russia, as
I4enin is known to be willing to accept
food on the conditions outlined by DR..
Nansen.
DR.. Nsnsen's letter said: 1T would
appear to me possible to organize a
purely humanitarian committee for
stuffs and medical supplies to be paid
for, perhaps to some considerable ex-
tent, by Russia itself. the justice of
distribution to be guaranteed by
committee. The general makeup of
the commission would be comprised
of Norwegian, Swedish and possibly
Dutch, Danish and Swiss nationalities
Sole Purpose Is to Save Lives.
TT does not appear that the exist
ing authorities in Russia. would re-
fuse the intervention of such a COM
nnttee of a wholly non-political order.
devoted solely to the humanitarian
service of saving life. If thus or
gznized upon the lines Of the Belgian re-
lief committee it would raise no ques-
ti0A Of political recognition or negotia-
tions between the allies with the exist
ing authorities in Russia.

cal issues involved. and 1 would be
Glad to know under what conditions
such an enterprise would be approved
and whether such committee could
look for real support in finance and

PURELY HUMANITARIAN

PARIS. April Il (by the Associated
Press).-The allied and associated
powers are prepared to aid in the re-
lief of Russia with foodstuffs. medical
supplies and other necessaries, pro-
vided there is a cessation of HOSTILE
ties within definite lines in the
territory of Russia" This fact be-
came known today in correspondence
which has passed between Dr. Fridt-
jof Nansen. head of the commission
appointed to feed Russia, and President
Wilson and Premiers Clemenceau Lloyd
George and Orlando.
DR.. Nansen in his appeal said
thousands of persons were dying
monthly from sheer starvation and
disease. and suggested a neutral and
purely humanitarian committee" for
the purpose. The council of four
gave assurance of its readiness to
succor the stricken people of Russia
along the lines that Belgium was fed
and mfnisteerd to. but with the funda
mental proposition that a cessation
of hostilities would be brought about.

MT. Dunn appeared for Mrs. Bertha L. Smith, and he claim ed the town had no authority to con- demn land for state highway pur- poses. and that conditions did not render a change of the roadway nec- essary. 1Se said the action of the highway department in strengthening the road was for the purpose of mak- ing a speedway out of the Post road from Westerly to Providence. that this was not necessary. and therefore the town had no power to condemn land.
 It was also claimed by MT. Dunn that a well of water on land of Mrs. Smith woul abe spoiled. or its use rem dered impractical and unsafe. as the proposed line would bring the road way within eighteen feet of the well and surface water would flow into it and contaminate the supply.
