1t is estimated that these three
sources will readily yield about
s500,000,000, which is the sum required
to pay for food relief to an extent
considered ADEQUATE to carry the Ger
mans until the time of their harvest.
From the nature Of the exchanges
during the negotiations at Spa, the
allied delegates have reason to ex-
pect that the new proposals will be
acceptable to the Germans, and the
belief generally prevails that an ad-
justment will be reached under which
German ships will soon become
available for the moving homeward of
American troops.

Won HINDENBURG PLANNING
DRIVE AGAINST BOLSHEVIkI

Coblenz, Saturday. March (By the
a. P).-Field Marshal Won linden
burg is planning to use volunteer units
in a drive against the Bolsheviki, with
Libau as the base of his operations,
it is indicated by information which
has reached American intelligence Off
GERS.
According to the American experts
ing in touch with the progress of the
readjustment of the enemy's forces.
German great headquarters seems to
be following a policy of secrecy as re-
CARDS the eastern front troop question.
This is believed to be due to the fact
that the Bolsheviki now have a nor
mai military organization and so will
be able to utilize any information they
might obtain concerning their enemy.
Apparently the German headquarters
staff in kolberg is directing its ener-
gies again toward organization on the
| Baltic front in the confidence that
| there is no longer any immediate oe-
| casion for concern over the Polish
| front. Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
| is in kolberg and the commanders of
| both the northern and southern armies
| on the eastern front are presumed to
| be applying most of their efforts at
present to the organization of the
| forces available.
| The total number of volunteers now
on the eastern front or about to pro-
g., ceed there is estimated at nearly 100,-
| 900. Some of the old army troops are
now on the eastern front.
