defending Petrograd. has been disabled
completely and the defences OF Kronstadt
which were bombarded by British war
ships, have been destroyed.
Washington, Aug. 23rd. Officials here
were somewhat disturbed when they
learned today of the apparent determi-
nation of Genl. Carranza and his official
advisers to coniscate the oil property of
foreigners, in spite of the protest lodged
with the Mexican Govt. by all the ma
tons whose nationals have investments
in Mexico.
Washington, Aug. 23rd.-Without an
amendment and practically no opposition
the House late today voted to amend the
Lever Food Control Act, to extend its
provisions to include clothing, containers
of food, feed or fertilizers, fuel oil and
implements used in the production of
necessities, and to penaIize proiteering
by a five thousand dollar fine, or two
years imprisonment.

Paris, Aug. 23rd .-The Supreme Coun-
Gil today approved a note drafted by the
Preparations Committee, warning the
Roumanian Govt. of retaliatory action
which will be taken if the Rolmanians
continue to make acquisitions. NJ. Glenn.
enceau signed the note and it was for
Warded to Bucharest. The Council has
decided to request Roumania to keep an
exact account Of all her acquisitions in
Hungary, and the value thereof will be
deductaa from the amount Hungary is to
surrender to Roumania under me terms
Of the Peace Treaty.
Paris. Aug. 23rd. -Roumania's sigma
ture to the treaty Of peace witt Austria
still depends upon notifications of the
clauses relating to guarantees to mlnOrl-
ties, according TO information from au-
'hOritatiVe Rounanian sources. The

crees, which will be approved by the
new Chamber of Deputies to be elected
in September, minorities, not only in
the territory attached to Roumania, but
also in the old F[ingdom have been
more amply predicted than the peace

preted by minOrities as giving them
really the upper hand.
