Huns Ask American
Troops AS Police
To Protect Food

BERLIN, Tuesday. Feb. II. (By the
Associated Press. 1.-The railway admin
istration at Danzig has notified the
government that the military authori-
ties there are not in a position to
furnish the necessary number Of troops
to protect the first three Polish relief
ships which are due at Danzig early
next week, according to the kreuz
Zeitung.
The commander is said to have re-
quested that American troops be sent
there, but this has been refused be-
cause the Americans insist the Ger
man government be responsible for the
protection of food shipments and that
Germany be obligated to make good
any losses.
The situation is complicated by the
failure of French or American troops
to arrive. which will make necessary
the policing of the entire railway line
from Danzig to the Polish frontier. The
Danzig railway administration, there
fore, has sent an urgent call to Berlin
for the prompt dispatch Of an adequate
number OF troops.
