AMERICA MUST

Peasants Hesitate to Sow

Fearing Its Seizure by
BolSheviki.

Archangel, March 14-(By the

cured by the allied food committee
in north Russia and from persons
reaching Archangel from the interior
indicates that the American people
must deprive themselves of bread
stuffs until the Russian question is
settled and the countr yis again
placed on a sound agricultural basis.
Peasants are hesitating to SOW any
more grain than they themselves
need, as they fear its seizure by the
bolsheviki Owing to the shortage
of seed grain, which has been used
for food, Russia will be compare
lively without crops in 1919 and this
condition will extend into 1920, even
if the country is restored to peace.
"The outside world, particularly
America, must be prepared to feed
the most of the Russian people for
at least six months after peace is
restored" a member of the food
committee said today. "And so long
as Russia remains without crops,
the rest of Europe must also look
toward America for the grain which
formerly poured out of Russia's Bal

By COUNT LOUIS DE VoINo-
WITCH.

With.
Especial Adviser to the Serbian
Delegation to the Peace Con-
ference.)
Paris, March 13.-Uniess Italy
gives up her claims to the east
shores of the Adriatic and no longer
insists on the annexation of Fiume
Istria and Dalmatia, Jugo-Slavia
faces the same situation as did
France when she lost Alsace-Lor-
raine. Those regions are Slavic, and
if not given to the Slavs they will
become the seeds of another war
which will again threaten the peace
Of the world.
The last war was fought to make
the world safe for democracy. to
liberate people who have long suf-
fered under the imperialistic yoke
of foreign masters. To transfer the
Slavic lands of the Adriatic from
the Austrian to the Italian crown,
therefore, is to subvert the very
cause for which the allies fought.
Jugo-Slavia has arisen out of the
ruins of medieval Austria. 1t must
include within its boundaries all
those countries which are ethnologi-
cally akin. Enumerating them in
their order from north to south, first
on the west and then on the east,
these countries are: Carinthia, South
Syria, the Goritzia district, Carni-
ola, east Istria, and its islands, Croa-
tia and Slavonia Ito the eastward)

and its islands, Bosnia and Here

Will Weld Nations.
These regions constitute the west
ern half of the Balkan peninsula,
bounded by the rivers Maros, Dan
ube, Timok and Vardar, the Adriatic
sea and the foothills of the Alps.
1t will weld together into one ma
ton the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes,
who have long dreamed of national
unity despite the oppression of cen
turtles under the Austrian, the Turk,
the Magyar and the Venetian.
Jugo-Slavia will thus possess a
population of at least 100000 and
under proper democratic institutions
and educational and industrial de-
velopments it should become a
power that will bar German agrees
sion and German intrigue from the
r.. obstruction of German Mittel
Europa.
Jugo-Slavia has vast natural re-
sources, which can be made the
basis of great wealth if proper con-
munication is established with the
outside world. The country must
have railroads and ports. If Italy,

Decision of Allied Powers for

Brussels. March l4.-The deci.

for the turning over by Germany OF
merchant ships and securities in eX-

German delegation here today by an
allied commission headed by Vice
Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss of
Great Britain. The Germans were
permitted to ask questions, but no
discussion was allowed.
1t is said shat der-Secretary
Won Braun had prepared a speech
in which he would tell the allies that
the feeding of Germany was a mat
ter of interest to all the western
powers. The allies have offered to
furnish food until next harvest, but
the Germans were ready to urge that
the only measure that would cause
great improvement in the internal
situation OF Germany would be the
sending of food in quantities pro-
portionate to Germanys needs and
the fixing of financial conditions
which are satisfactory.

coast of the Adriatic down to the
southern tip of Dalmatia, Jugo-Sla-
via will be pr2 ctically throttled to

to connect it with western Europe
either by railroad or steamshipiines
without going through Italian hands.
Among the railroad plans considered
is one to unite Fiume on the Adri-
attic with Belgrade, where it can con-
meet with Bucharest, Salonica and
Constantinople, running through
the valley of the Save.
Agricultural and Mineral Wealth.
The country of the Serbians,
Croats and Slovenes can yield not
only agricultural products, hogs
from Serbia, cattle and ccrn frou
Croatia, wood and fruit from all
sections; but it also contains mineral
wealth, which only awaits capital
and industrial organization. There
are iron mines in Bosnia and Herze-
govina, coal and Ignite in Serbia
and copper mines which the Ger
mans seized and operated.
To the east is Bulgaria, which IS
non-progressive country, alien to
Jugo-Slavia. To the northeast is
Roumania. To the north are Hun
gary and Germany. Therefore neith-
er north nor east except through
Roumania does Jugo-Slavia hope to
find a commercial and industrial out
let. No, it is to the westward, that
is western Europe and the United
States; and if Italy takes away from
us the eastern littoral of the Adri-
attic and the hinterland of Trieste and
Goritzia this western outlet will be
cut off. The only alternative will be
German commercial and industrial
vassalage, and the constant extern
sion of German influence into the
Balkans and southeastern Europe.

AMERICANS and
JAP ANESE CLASH
AT TEN TSIN
Marines Raid Consulate in
Retaliation Treatment Given
U. S. Soldiers by the
Brown Men.

Picking, March l4.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.) - American marines
have raided the Japanese concession
at Tien Tsin, forcing their way into
the Japanese consulate and assault
ing the consul, according to dis
patches received here.
The trouble is said to have been
caused by the rough treatment given
American soldiers who became dis
orderly in the Japanese quarter of
the city. Japanese soldiers drove
out the American with fixed bay
onets, it is said, wounding two of
them seriously. The next day 200
angry marines, who were off duty,
paraded through the Japanese con-
cession and, it is alleged, they at
tackled every Japanese encountered.
When the mariues reached the con-
sulate they forcibly entered, it is re-
ported, and assaulted the consul,
whose injuries are understood to be
serious.
The consular body is celebrating
on measures to be taken to restore
normal conditions. 1t is said that
feeling is running high at Tien Tsin.
Brief Report.
Washington, March IA clash
between American troops, a Japa-
neSe policeman and some civilians
at Tien Tsin was reported to the
State department. today by Minis
ter Reinisch at Picking. The min
lister said he had sent First Secre-
tary Spencer to Tien Tsin to investi-
gate and report.
No mention was made of a raid
by American marines in the Japa-
nese consulate and the wounding of
the consul, reported in a Picking
dispatch to the Associated Press
The minister's message was brief
and gave no details.
In the absence of complete infor-
nation, officials were not willing to
discuss the incident for publication.
Privately, however, it was said if
the Japanese consulate had been
violated, of course the guilty would
be punished and a proper apology
would be made to Japan. The Jap
anese consulate is located in a sa-
loon and restaurant section of Tien
Tsin and brawls there in the past
are said to have been not infre-
quent.
Government officials were greatly
disturbed today by the news from
Picking that American marines
raided the Japanese consulate at
Ten Tsin and seriously injured the
consul.
Navy department officials doubted
that 200 marines were involved in
the raid as reported. because no ma
rines are stationed at Tien Tsin
and the entire contingent at Pek-
ing, three or four hours ride away,
numbers only a few hundred. Only
the presence of a number of Ameri-
can ships in port, of which the de-
partment has not been advised,
could account for so many marines
being ashore and off duty at Tien
Tsin.
The American force stationed at
Tien Tsin is the 18th regular in
fantry regiment, which has been
there for several years and which
is composed entirely of veteran SOL
diers.
