Former Austrian Ruler
Urges Support of Treaty

BUDAPEST, May 16.-Followers of
former Emperor Charles of Austria,
who have been without information as
to whether he desired them to sup
port the signing Of the peace treaty,
now are reported to have received g
message from Prangins instructing
them to support the treaty, provided q
secret clause be appended permitting
him to return.
1t is regarded rs foregone con-
clusion here that Charles will return
shortly in any event. Archduke Joseph
has tacitly withdrawn from the race
to head the government, his house, in
Esterhazy Street having been closed.
The royalist party continues to exist,
however, and its headquarters are still
open.
Archduchess stephanie, wife of the
Count of Lorryay, who has just re-
turned from visit to Charles cas-
tie, at Prangins, brought the message
from Charles which is reported to
contain the orders for support of the

ported to have declared that he actc
unwillingly in carrying out the orders,
but that he had been threatened with
discharge when he protested against
such hlgh-handed action.
The Ukraininns then took the matter
to M. Troquer, now the Minister of
Public Works and then in charge Of the
war stocks. M. Troquer assured tho
Ukrainians that under no circumstance 4
would the goods be handed to the Amer
leans. Despite M. Troquer's refusal
curing an order for the goods from tho
stocks department Of the French gov
ernment. The Ukrainians thereupon
brought action against the French gov
ernment demanding the sequestraticn
of the goods in question and the courts
upheld their view. .~
1t is declared by the Ukrainians that
since that time such pressure has been
brought to bear in Paris that tho
French government is now appealing
against the sequestration order on the
grounds that the French courts are In
competent to issue an order in q quarrel
and the Ukrainians. The Ukrainians
declare they intend to fight to the end,
and, If necessary, take the affair be-
fore the league Of nations. The Ukrai-
mans believe that If the American gov
ernment knew the facts in the case it
would accept their view, and therefore
have appealed to America to have a
commission investigate the circum-
stances.
Naturally. the Ukrainians assume
that some ono other than the American
government would be interested in the
greater profit which would result If the
material Is sold to the Serbs.

BERLIN, May 16.--Discussing Ger
many's foreign policy in 8 campaign
speech at Elberfeld to-day, Count Won
Bernstorff, former Ambassador to the
United States, said the German dele
gates at Spa must declare emphatically
to the Allies that the first prerequisite
to any payments whatever by Germany
is the revival of German BUSINESS
Germany can obtain foreign assist
ance in the shape of raw materials
he said, only by rejecting the violent
policies advocated by the parties Of
the Right and placing herself squarely
upon a democratic platform, thus win
ming the support Of public opinion in
thG Western democracies.
One of the chief causes Of the pres
ent decentralization of Germany was the
lack Of that support, Won Berrstorff
said. What is now needed, he con-
tinued, is world economic policy, not
drawn up by a council of four or five
men, but by real league Of nations,
including Germany
Won Bernstorff insisted that the par
ties Of the Right were waiting for the
Entente to fall apart, but the Demo-
Gratis Of Germany favored the trans
formation Of the present caricature Of

The creditors of the Allies are dis
tinct gamers by the new reparatlons
plan because 1t virtually makes Ger

Turks Are Called
To Wage War ON

Proclamation Posted i'm
Stamboul Says: 'Moslems,
On to Anatolia'; Opposi-
ton to Treaty Grows

CONSTANTINOpLE, May 1e (By The
Associated Press).-Betwee May and
II fighting continued between the Azer-
baijan forces and Georgians, with re-
suits largely in favor Of the Georgians,
who barred the Tartar advance by de-
stroying bridges. Proclamations were
widely posted in Stamboul to-day with
the caption: "Moslems: On to Ana
tolia," saying:
"The situation is now clear. Why are
you waiting? 1t is manifest that q
Christian crusade is being undertaken
against the Moslems. In whom do you
place your hope? Arise and attack
your enemies"
All political parties are apparently
united in opposing the terms of the
peace treaty as announced. 1t is re-
ported from Angora that Mustapha
Kemal has arrested number Of in
tians, whom he is holding as hostages.
The Turks have been refused per-
mission to hold a meeting of protest
against the treaty in Constantinople,
but 1t is reported that meetings will
be held in the mosques under the
guise OF religious cermonis.
Strong opposition to acceptance Of
the peace terms imposed upon Turkey
are expected by several of the news
papers here, the phrase "better to die
Immediately than accept such terms"
appearing frequently.
Other papers favor signing of the
treaty, but with the purpose of passive
~ opposing and nullifying its terms
Still other papers say that the months
delay allowed before Turkey is required
to sign may make it possible to obtain
modification through an appeal to the
sense of justice Of Europe.
Damad Ferid Pasha is said to be ex-
erting every effort to procure modifi-
cation of the western boundary as fixed
and to bring about the removal of
Greeks from Smyrna.
Armenian and Greek newspapers in
this city praise the treaty highly, declar-
ing it is mild punishment for Turkey,
considering the fact that she prolonged
the war for at least two years.

MiIIerand Given
OUation in Paris
People Confident Priority
Claim, to Indemnify
VIII Be Recognized
BY Ralph Courtney
Special Cable to The Tribune


Copyright. 1920, New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS; May 16.--Premier Millerand
returned to. Paris tonight after an
other victorious encounter with
Lloyd George. He was loudly cheered
by the throngs at the railroad station
Tor having achieved what is regarded
by the French as triumph.
France will get the money she needs
for the restoration Of northern France.
This is clear from the declaration by
the Premiers at Hythe that the French
claim for priority in the distribution
of the reparatons money will be rec
ognized. These claims are to be paid
with as little delay as possible, the
Allies helping Germany to make the
arrangements necessary to meet them.
1t is assumed here that Germany will
issue gold bonds which will be dis
counted by the Allied fnanciers.
The most interesting part of the
Premiers' declaration to the French is
Germany payments on account with the
settlement of the Allied war debts.
The immediate effect of this agreement,
it is thought here, should be a strong
reaction Of exchange towards lower
levels.
France evidently has agreed that a
part of the money paid by Germany
shall be used to settle her debt to
Great Britain. The ability of France
to make payments to England in Ger
man bonds will relieve the burden TN
der which French currency is stagger-
ing. Moreover, this scheme will give
Great Britain a primary interest in
making Germany pay Undoubted ad-
vantages accrue to Great Britain under
the arrangement, but France gains by
assuring herself of England's support
should Garmnny rebel.
Pending an official statement as to
the exact amount at which reparations
will be fixed, it is assumed here that
it is between 80 and 120 billion gold
marks. Attention is called here t.,
the fact that the premiers decided on
the minimum, not the maximum Thus
parts of the indemnity are left sub
ject to sliding scale arrangement

which would allow it's members the
right Of self determination.
Even if Germany adopted the policy
supported by the members of the Right,
and waited for the Entente to fall 20
pieces, Won Bernstorif said, she would
could take advantage of dissensions
among the Allies. Germany must act
in harmony with the league Of nations,
he added, because Of her need for tho
help Of other nations.
Won BernstorF reiterated his belief
that Germany must reach an under
standing with the United States and
with Great Britain. He suggested that
further opportunities would open In
Russia for Germany If American cap
there.
