Germans Be1U0iI Order
TO Surrender Farming
Machinery 10 allies

BERLIN, Jan. II (By The Associated
Press.-Chicfs of departments in the
German government, especially Minis
tiers of Commerce and of Trade, protest
against acceptance by the German dele
gates of the latest arimisticc condi-
tons, the fulfillment of which, they dc
clare, "mcans for Germany the organ
lied preparation of starvation
The Minister of Commerce and
Labor, according to the ''Tageblati,"
declares that Germany viii be unable
to replace the agricultural machinery
taken because Germany lacks necessary
metals, coal and trained laborcrs. lie
says German agriculture viii be Grip
pied if the machines are delivered to
the Allies.
The "Tageblatt' asks in an editorials:
"Where are justice and humanity
which were to dictate peace? We be
hold always force and only force, and
the German people, after such great
physical and mental sufferings, are de
livcred over to destruction"
It is said that the Berlin railway di-
vision has turned over 103 locomotives
and that, Of total Of 1896 now in its
possession, only 494 are in running
condition. This number, it is declared,
is hardly adequate to carry provisions
and coal to Berlin.

National Unity

"Rumania resolved to fight only

strangling pressure Of the Central

"Thus, it was the extent Of German
ambitions that brought so many pco-

flow Of news is impeded by rules of Sc
crecy.
In former communication to the
Supreme Council the Americans as
sumed that the rule forbidding the del
egates to discuss the doings of the con-
ference with the correspondents would
not be enforced While no announce
ment on this subject has been made, it
is learned on the authority of dele
gates that the rules does still obtain.
What action the correspondents will
take viii probably be developed next
week, when the exact character of the
press representation and the number to
be admitted to the conference will be
determined.
Following is the text of the commu-
nication sent by the American news
paper men to the Council to-day:
"The American press delegation
acknowledges the reply of the peace
conference to the resolutions addressed
to them. The delegation notes that
the decision that representatives. of
the press shall be admitted to the
meetings of the full conference is an
acceptance of the principle OF direct
press representation for which the
press of America, Great Britain, Italy
and smaller nations have contendcd.
THE value of this principle, how
ever turns on the extent and fire.
quency of its limitations in practice.
The peace conference announces its
intention to limit it to the extent that
upon necessary occasions the delibera-
tions of the conference may be held
in camera Without assent on our
part to this Imitation. we trust that
if ever it is applied. the public viii
be advised through the press at the
outset of each session in camera Of
the subject to be discussed and the
name of the delegate or delegation
making the motion to go in camera
and at the close of the session the
conclusions or agreement reached.
I'm view of the fact that we have
not been advised to the contrary, we
assume that any rule designed to pro
hibit communication between indi-
vidual delegates and the press on sub
jects of the conference has now been
abrogated and that the press is to have
access to the verbatim records of pro
ceedings
"Ne call the attention of the peace
conference to our request for not
fewer than five direct press Represent
atives at each session of the confer
ence and we submit that because Of
the manner in which the several press
associations serve the newspapers of
America and because of the attendance
upon the conference of numerous in
dlTldual press representatives, the
American newspapers cannot carry on
their business of informing their vast
public with fewer than FIVE representa-
tives'

"Thcre is no need Of further in

into the origin of the drama which
has just shaken the world. The truth
bathed in blood, has already escaped
from the imperial archives The pre-
meditated character of the trap is
to day clearly proved.

the hegemony Of Europe and next the
mastery OF the world, the Central
Empires, bound together by q secret
plot, found tho most abominable of
preteXts for trying to crush Serbia
and force their way to the east. At
the same time they disowned the
most solemn undertakings in order to
crash Belgium and force their way
'nto the heart of France.
"Thcse are the two unforgcttable
utrages which opened the way to ag-
gression. The combined efforts of
Great Britain, France and Russia
were eXerted against that man-madc

they attemptd to offer to Great Brit

1914, when to Great Britain they sug-

"Y our nations entered the war sue
cessiVely, but came one and all to the

conflict the two ideas which for fifty

President Poincare said:
"Gentlemcn France greots and
thanks you for having chosen as the
seat of your labors the city which
for more than four years the enemy
has made hs principal military OBJ
jective and which the valor Of the
Allied armies has VIGOROUSLY de-
Tended against increasingly renewed
OifensiVes
Permit me TO see in your decision
the homage of all the nations that
you represent toward a country which
more than any other has endured the
sutferings Of war, Of which entire
provinces have been transformed into
a vast battlefield and have been sys
tematically laid waste by the invader,
and which has paid the human trib
ute in death.
''France has borne these enormous
sacrifices, although she had not the
slightest responsibility for the
frightful catastrophe which has over
whelmed the universe. And at the
moment when the cycle of horror is
ending, all the powers whose dele
gates are assembled here may acquit
themselves of any share in the
crime which has resulted in so un
precedented disaster. What gives
You the authority to establish a peace
of justice is the fact that none OF
tho peoples of whom you are the
delegates has had any part in the
injustice. Humanity can place con-
idence in you because you are not
among those who have outraged the
rights Of humanity.
