the physics professor who cares for

The mystery was solved the other

ARCHANGEL. April 5 (By The As

million Bolshcvik rubles by band of
Circassian Cossack officers, whose ac-
tivlties also included the arrest of the
American Consul at Archangel and the
kidnapping of the North Russian gov
ernment. was explained at the trial of
the officers to-day before the supreme
judicial authority of Northern Russia
The officers, among whom were Cap
tain Bcrs and Colonel Melia, were
convicted and sentenced to imprison-
ment and deprivation OF their rank
and decorations. Because of their
military valor the court recommended
that they be pardoned.
The defendants unfolded an as

of the days before the Allied troops
landed at Archangcl and of the polti

Smuts Puts Proposal
Of Peace PWley Up
To Hungarian SOuiet

BUDAPEST, April 6 (By The Asso-
ciatcd Press ).-Genera Jan Christian
Smuts, the peace conference commits
sloner to Hungary, placed his proposals
before the Hungarian Communist gov
eminent on Saturday. They included
the following:
The Hungarian government to with
draw all troops west of a line which
General Smuts outlined; that Ruma-
nian troops be ordered not to advance
beyond their present positions and that
the territory between the line drawn
by General Smuts and the Ruman1an
army be neutral and be occupied by
British, French Italian and, if possi-
BILE, American troops.
That the Hungarian government ac-
cept the terms of the military conven-
tion concluded last November 13 by the
hungarian government with the Allied
Powers; that the aforementioned line
of dcmarcation has no influence on the
territorial arrangements in the final
peace conditions, and that General
Smuts will propose to the peace con-
ference to raise the blockade of Hun
gary Immediately and allow facilities
for the immediate import of prime
necessities, especially fats and coal.
Conference on Frontiers
General Smuts also suggested that
he would propose to the peace confer
ence that before it finally determined
the political frontiers of Hungary it
should invite the Hungarian govern
ment to send representatives to Paris
These representatives. would formulate
their standpoint on the frontiers and
the questions arising from them in
special conference with representatives
of the Czecho- -Slovaks, Jugo- Slavs, Ru-
manians and German Austrians. A rep
resentative Of the Allied powers would
be chairman of the special conference.
The government replied to General
Smuts, thanking him for his cviity
but declaring that the conditions pre-
sented were unacceptable, except as
an order to those who might be in
clined to assume the government of the
country on such terms

Chinese Ask Enjoys
For Right to Reuise
= The Republics Tariffs
NcW. oth TflbNNo

" dShiNgtOn BurcdN
WASHINGTON, April T. China
faces permanent ruin unless the treaty
powers permit her to exercise the
same right Of fiscal autonomy as en-
joyed by themselves and other nations,
according to a joint telegram sent to
the Paris Peace Conference by forty
six Chambers Of Commerce in China,
representing the whole of the twenty
two provinces, it was announced here
to-day.
The memorial points out that China
has been able to revise its tariff only
once in sixty years, and asserts that
the present tariff system imposed by
the powers upon China is fatal to the
industry of China and calamtous to
the rest of the world. economically and
politically. The telegram says. in
part:
"The treaties concluded by this
country date back to 1858 or earlier.
although a new import tariff was es-
tabished in 1902. The latter tariff,
however, is far from being compre-
hensive, and so that of 1853 is still in
force, subject to the few 1902 modf-
cations.
"Under the circumstances, hnan-
cally as we'll as economically, the
losses and hardships occasioned to the
Chinese people have been almost in
calculable. For example, the following
are made duty free according to the
tariff Of 1858:
"Gold and silver bullion, foreign
coins. -four, indian meal, sago. biscuits,
preserved meats and vegetables, cheese,
butter. confectionery, foreign clothing,
jewelry, plate ware, perfumery, soaps
of all kinds, charcoal, firewood. foreign
candles, foreign tobacco, foreign ci-
gars, wine, beer, spirits, household
stores, ship stores, personal baggage,
stationery, carpeting, cutlery, foreign
medicines and glass and crystal ore.
These articles are classified as Injuries
and taxed from so to even 200 per cent
in other countries.
GAS the annual revenue from this
source to the National Treasury is
about six millions sterling and there
1orc most meagre, our government, IN
order to- make the ends meet, had to
resort to other forms Of taxation
for example, the internal likin and
other transit duties, admittedly ruin
Gus to all domestic commerce. There
is no internal commerce to speak Of
and all forms of industry are being
killed. This shortage of revenue has
reacted most unfavorably on all
phases Of national development and
accounts for our increasing poverty
and present backwardness in education
agriculture, finances, etc.
1--WE therefore pray that the asscci-
ated and Allied governments will agree
to forego their treaty privileges and
restore to China the same right of
fiscal autonomy as is enjoyed by them
selves as we'll as other independent
nations. so that we may, develop our
industries, manufactures and natural
resources, become better consumers OF
the worlds commodities and as a
people constituting one-fourth of the
worlds population, contribute ou,
share to the progress and civilization
Of mankind"
