Berlin, March Street fighting has
broken out with renewed violence. Af-
ter the rebels appeared to have been
crushed and radical leaders admitted
defeat, the Spartacans rallied.
The general strike, which almost
flickered out, seemed to be gaining
strength today.
Many Republican guards were
wounded in the street fighting in va
rious parts of the city, The scenes of
disorder, however, We're still widely
scattered.
Some radical chiefs changed their
attitude of pessimism and threatened
to develop a revolution which would
accomplish what the first Spartacan
outbreak failed to do.
Government mastery of the situa
tion, so evident a few hours ago, ap-
peared at the time of cabling to be
precarious.
The fighting continues.

Boches Inform Economic Con-
ferees at Spa of Refusal to
Turn Over Merchantmen for
Transportation of Americans
QUESTION Of FEEDING HUNS
FORCED TO SHARP CLIMAX
Enemy Demands Supplies
Enough to Last Until the
Next Harvest; $400.0 600, ,00O
Worth of Food Is Needed.
By FRED 3. FERGUSON.


Paris, March Flat refusal of Ger,
many to permit its ships to be used
for homeward transportation of Amer;
lean troops unless food supply to last
until next harvest is first guaranteed
by the allies, confronted peace dele
gates of the five great powers when
they met this afternoon.
This determination on the part of
Germany was made known by her rep
resentatives at the economic confer
ence at Spa, Belgium. They informed
the allied representative the German
merchantmen would not be turned
over unless the necessary food sup
plies were positively guaranteed
Thereupon, the allied economic mis-.
sion returned from the Spa for fur.
ther instructions.
CLIMAX PRESENTED.
The entire question Of feeding
Germany and easing tho blockade
of the central powers was brought
to climax by the German atti-
tude. American members of the
economic mission returning to
Paris with word of Germany's
stand, conferred this morning with
the United States peace delegation
at tho Hotel CrilIon. The "Biq
Five" considered the question this
afternoon.
1t was estimated that $4oo, 600 900
worth Of food would be required to
feed the Germans until the next har-
vest.
This sum is double the available gold
and silver in Germany. Even II the
amount available were to be taken, 1t
would cause financial collapse, 1t was
pointed out.
MAY ENTER INTO TRADE.
Economic experts declared the only
possible means by which Germany
might pay for the food would be for
that nation to start production of ex-
portable commodities. This brings
squarely before the peace conferences
the question of whether Germany shall
be permitted to enter world trade i'm
mediately under certain restrictions.
Some hold this to be necessary, II Ger,
many is to be kept together and MAIN
tained in such shape that she will be
able to sign a peace treaty. pay her
debts and make reparation for war
damage.
The French adhere to the viewpoint
thdt IL Is necessary 10 maintain the
blockade until France RECEIVERS indus
trially and is ready to compete with
Germany in world markets; and until
France has recovered from the effecta
of the German devastation and factory
looting.
DELAYS SOLUTION.
However, France 1t was stated, 10
willing to have the United States lend
Germany the money to pay for the
food. American delegates regard this
as out of the question.
The situation is now such that set
tlement Will probably be a matter OF
weeks. 1t has been dragging since Mo-
vember. The question, of course, 10
regarded by the Americans as highly
important. as the United States needs
the German ships to speed the home
ward movement of the American
troops.

BY L. C. MARTIN.

Washington, March Private own
ership with broad supervisory powers
vested in the government is what SEN
ator Cummins, Iowa, expects as a per-
manent railroad policy to be enacted
by the next congress, he said today.
Cummins will head the senate inter-
state commerce committee which will
frame the new railroad law.
Before leaving Washington for a

his view will be the probable direction
of congressional action. Though ne

FOUR MAIN FEATURES.
The main features of the law Cum

1. Return of the lines to their
private owners.
2. Consolidation into q few great
systems.
8. Guaranteeing certain rate per
cent return on capital.
4. Increase in tho powers Of the
interstate commerce commission.

Means of Sending Supplies to

By FRED s. FERGUSON.

Paris, March THE big Five" of
the peace conference today took up the
proposition of sending food into Bo-
hemia and German Austria. Means of
getting supplies into the districts which
most urgently need them were to be
discussed. The populations Of these
territories, it is felt. must be kept from
gnawing hunger If the spread of Boil
shevism Is to be prevented.
Naval terms which will be incorpor-
ated in the final peace treaty have
been thoroughly gone over by the big
Five" and, it was learned, the decision
to destroy the German submarines
stands.
NAvY'S FATE UNDECIDED.
Decision was reserved, however, with
regard to the proposal that the Kiel
canal Notifications be destroyed and
those of Heligoland reduced. The fate
of the German fleet is also still unde-
cided

British reports regarding conditions
in Germany and German-Austria are
similar to the reports reaching the
Americans. Conditions in Austria are
described as being most critical. the
people being on the verge of starva-
tion. The delegates appreciate that this
under the greatest difficulties, was what
Germany will break up, making the
signing Of any kind of a peace impos-
sible.
RAISES PROTEST.
lie Temps has raised an objection 20
the allies feeding German-Austria,
voicing a widespread French sentiment
against 1t. However, it is generally
looked on by the peace delegates as a
necessary step in bringing about world
peace and tranquility. 1t is pointed
out that the work of the food adminis-
tration in rushing supplies to Poland
under the greatest difficulties, was that
saved the situation there and prevented
the country from disintegrating. In
the feeding of Poland was
carried out in spite of persistent OBJ
structiye tactics by the German au-
thorities at Danzig.

AT So PER BARREL.

Officials state that with wheat at
s2.26 bushel, the flour can be bought
fairly by the government for IS a bar
rel after making allowances for all the
by-products saved in making the flour
and for a fair profit.
But in order to insure the five-cent
loaf, the flour must cost not more than
Sc O. barrel to the breadmakers.
The plan considers the government
absorbing the loss of SO a barrel at n
total cost of s5OO,000,O00. Thus the
consumer would get the five-cent
bread, the farmer the $2.26 price and
the governments appropriation be used
to decrease the bread price instead Of
boosting the wheat price, officials
pointed out:

CAN'T ABSOLvE MONORE
DOCTRINE AND BE JUST
Favoring American Appeals
Would Cause Other Powers
to Demand Exceptions and
Peril Foundation of League.
BY LOWELL MELLETT.

Paris, March Few persons In
Paris today, whether Americans or
Europeans, believed that the pledge of
81 Republican senators to refuse to
vote for the league Of nations covenant
would be realized.
1t was considered entirely likely that
several amendments, though possibly
Of o, minor nature, would be made in
the league covenant
This, 1t was pointed out, would re-
lieve the Republicans of having to vote
for it as originally presented.
PERlLs OTHER CLAUSES.
With regard to the Monroe doctrine,
those in favor of the present covenant
declare If America ask ed permission to
except that doctrine from the league,
all other powers might ask similar ex-
ceptions in matters of special interest
and then the structure Of the league
would fall.
Should the other parties to the
agreement voluntarily suggest that an
American point on such an exception
be noted with regard to the Monroe
doctrine, that would be different
proposition. But such a course is con :
sidered hardly likely.
Concerning the American senate at
titude, 1t Is recognized that this pos
sibility creates a more or less uncom-
Portable internal political situation for
Wilson. But in that respect he is in
no worse a position than Lloyd George
or Clemenceau.
RADICALS OPPOSED.
Their troubles are not along the
lines of the league but Lloyd George
has demands of the radicals to be met
with the machinery of a conservative
government, while Clemenceau has a
most diffictNt tax problem to meet.
The attitude here, consequently, is
that generally speaking, the peace pro-
gram must be carried through on the
best possible international lines, with
the individual governments left to
settle their fights at home afterward.
European politicians accept Wilson's
promise that he can get direct, favor
able action on the league from his
people.
