Before entering Frankfort, which is
in the neutral zone beyond the French

According to information reaching

the streets and eventually a mob of
more than 10000 began parading
through the streets. The mob stormed
a large warehouse and the members
helped themselves to the food stored
there. Hundreds filled baskets and
sacks with food of various kinds.
Street fighting followed an attempt
by the local authorities to gain con-

troops opposite the American bridge

Disorder continues in a number of
German cities. The VOssische Zeitung
says the Stuttgart streets are filled

MEXICO FRIENDLY TO ALIENS
Carranza Government Alters Front
Toward Foreign Capital-Wash-
ington Interested.

Washington, April 5.-Private and
official advices from Mexico City with
in the last few days are interpreted
as clearly indicating a sudden change
in sentiment in the republic toward
foreign investments in Mexico, and
that the coming session of congress
will clear the atmosphere of much of
the hostility shown since the adoption
of the 1917 constitution. Diplomatic
circles and officials of the state de-
partment are much interested in this
apparent change of front, as mani
tested in newspaper editorials and in
statements by members of the Mexi-
can congress which have been tele-
graphed here. The American oil in
terests in Mexico, it was learned. have
not receded from the stand originally
taken that their vested rights in Mex
fco must be recognized and that the
anti-foreign and cOnfiScatOry features
of the new constitution must not OPP
crate ex-post factO against them.
From recent advices it appears the
new attitude of the Mexican people, at
last-and it is believed in official cir
cles that this attitude is inspired by
the governments to recognize the
rights of the people, including foreign
ers, to their vested rights under inter
national law.

Paris, April 4.-The council of four

formation from French sources, that
the left bank of the Rhine will be neu-
tralized until Germany has paid the
indemnities fixed by the peace confer

1t is understood that French and Bel

United States claiming it to be impos-
sible to leave American troops in Eu-
rope after the signature of the peace

effective troops to maintain garrisons
along the Rhine.

YANKS IN PERIL
NEAR ARCHANCEL
American and Allied Troops Face
Massacre in Northern
Russia.
REGION SAID TO Be ICE. BOUND
Entente Columns Attacked by Over
wheIming Army Which Vows to
Drive Them Into Sea-
Ice Cuts OFF Retreat.

London, April 5.-The American
and allied troops in the ice-bound
areas of the Archangel region are in
grave danger. This is the word from
the war office here.
The forces in Archangel, which in
clude between 5000 and 1000 Ameri-
cans, mostly from Michigan and
Wisconsin, are being attacked by a
bolshevik army of overwhelming
strength, which, has vowed to drive
them into the sea.
The retreat of the allied and Amer
lean army is blockaded by the Arctic
winter and the bolsheviki apparently
are determined to exterminate them
If possible before spring permits re-
endorsements already congregating at
Archangel to reach he front.
Archangel, April 5.-Repeated boil
sheviki attacks along the front line
and both the right and left flank po-
sitions controlling Odozerskaia were
repulsed by allied forces.
The Americans, French, British and
Russians who. either separately or to-
gether, are holding positions through
out this territory, which is a little
over 100 miles south of Archangel,
have everywhere held their lines in
tact
The bOlsheviki, in spite of their
heavy losses, attacked the railroad
front south of Odozerskaia at ten
o'clock in the morning, but they
failed.
Allied forces east of Bolsboia
Ozera, where Americans, Russians
and British are fighting were under
attack all day at a point about fifteen
miles west of Odozerskaia and four
separate assaults were made there
again early in the morning.
All broke down under the allied
fire. According to bolshevik prison
erS, the enemy is somewhat democrat
lied because of his heavy losses dur
ing the last two days.
London, April 5.-The bolsheviki de-
livered an attack on the Archangel
front without artillery preparation
were beaten off with q fair amount OF
losses, according to news received
here. The allies losses were slight.
The attack occurred at Bolshoia
OZera.
Paris, April 5.-The situation in the
Archangel region in northern Russia
has been forcibly brought to the at
tention of the peace conference by
the publication in Paris of the British
statement that the troops in the Muir
mansk and Archangel districts were
in danger of determination unless they
were speedily REINFORCED. Brig. Gen.
w. P Richardson, U. S. A, is on his
way to take command of the Ameri.
can forces in north Russia and is ex-
| pected to reach Murmansk with 200
soldiers in a few days. There is APP
parently no change, however, in the
avowed intention to take the Ameri-
can troops out of the region at the
earliest possible date.

meaning that the allies must agree
and summon the German delegates by
April 20. Two weeks more are re-
CURED for putting together and revis-
ing the entire treaty.
No final judgment was reached at
Saturdays discussions of the question
as to how the damages done by the
Germans are to be repaired, but the
differences of opinion, it is understood,
have been whitfield down almost to the
vanishing point.
The same holds true of the Rhine
frontier problem, previous decisions
on which are now being modified by
experts.
The biggest question at issue re-
mains that of the Adriatic, but on
this, too, optimists are confident the
negotiations will reach an agreement
before the end of the ensuing week.
What course shall be pursued to-
ward the German delegates when they
finally come to Paris Is as yet unde-
cided. Some predict they will be al
lowed to discuss every point, which
would probably take as long as it took
the allies to agree.
Others think the practice observed
in the armistice negotiations will be
followed, which would mean the en-
envy plenipOtentiaries would be al
lowed to make few observa-
tiOns and then be told please sign"
This much seems certain: If the
Germans ere to be allowed to dis
cuss everything new chickering's would

to concessions. and in that case peace
would be extremely remote.

But why" asked the interviewer,
should not the amount of the war
bill, whatever it may be, be submitted
t0 Germany before anything slse, and
why should she not be compelled to
recognize her debt?"
"WhO says we have not decided
that?" was Lloyd Georges reply.
Cant people wait until we have fin

Instead of seeking always to judge

ours are listening at the door. The

more days, and it will then be able to
