ALLIES SUBMIT
TURK DECISION
Wilson to Express Views
Concerning Disposition
of Sultan. "

The allied governments have in
formed the United States of the
tentative decision reached on the
Turkish question. it was learned
definitely yesterday.
President Wilson will answer
these decisions with an expression
of his views on the Turkish prob
lem. 1t is understood. The Pres
ident has not yet made his reply,
however.
The allied decisions contemplated
allowing the Sultan to remain in
Constantinople, but with no Turk
ish military force and with an in
ternational commission controlling
the straits, it was learned. The
allies also declared for an inde-
pendent Armenian republic. the
boundaries of which were not
traced.
In a general way, the allies know
that President Wilson is opposed to
allowing the Sultan to remain in
ConstantinopIe and that he is in
sympathy with the aims OF. the Ar
menians, IL was said.

u. S. UNREADY
FOR RED PEACE
Asks Conference with AL.
lies on Resuming "Neces-
sary" Trade, However.

London, March l6.-The American
note TO the allies, on trade with Rus
sla. proposes that the allied and as
ISOLATED powers meet in conference
March 90 TO decide joint plan of
action. the Telegraph's Paris cor
respondent cabled today.
The correspondent summarized
the Washington governments note
as follows:
America recognizes the necessity
for trade relations with Russia, but
II does not want relations with the
Soviet Government. II proposes a
conference March 20 where a joint
course OF action may be decided
upon. The United States is prepared
to withdraw its prohibition against
trade with the reds. IL a concerted
agreement can be reached. but
would like to know what plans the
allied governments have for pre-
venting the circulation abroad of
securities held unlawfulIy by the
Soviets.

OPENS u. S. MARKET

Resumption of normal trade rela-
: tions between Germany and the
United statesf in spite af the great
disparity of the exchange rates
by extending to Germany credit not
to exceed $1,000. 100000 through the
war Finance Corporation is pro-
posed by Representative Thomas f..
Smith, of New York. in a bill in
troduced in the House yesterday.
An amendment to the war finance
corporation act is proposed to en-
able the War Finance Corporation
to pay American firms for contracts
for raw materials with Germany and
in turn to accept from Germany the
equivalent in bonds, obligations, or
other evidences of Indebtedness hav-
ing such security and priority as
is permitted by the peace treaty.
Secured BY Seized Property.
1t further provides that the Unit
ed States may be secured by the
property in the hands of the Alien
Property Custodian after deducting
the amounts necessary to compen-
safe American citizens for losses
incurred in the war.
Representative Smith points out
that the Treaty OF Peace expressly
contemplates that in the interest of
the allied countries and, to enable
Germany to meet the demands OF
supplied with food and raw mate
rial" He cites Article 235 and Ar
ticIe PSI of the Peace Treaty to
show that specific provision is
made for the payment for such raw
materials and food supplies essen
tial to Germany to meet her obli-
cations after having paid the ex-
penses of the Army of Occupation.
The War Finance corporation is
given control over the amount and
kind of merchandise to be purchased
This will enable ii to prevent the
export to Germany of an excessive
amount of food supplies.
Export Market Vital.
Germany is in vital and imme-
diate need of cotton, wheat, con-
densed milk. cattle feed, packing
house products. milch cows, horses,
cattle. and minerals. She needs one
billion dollars worth of them. 1t is,
on the other hand. vital to the
United States, TO maintain an ex-
port market for these articles.
In business and financial circles
il is strongly felt that unless some
measure is adopted whereby the
United States can trade with Ger
many, our export trade will soon
become stagnant."
The measure introduced in Con-
gress is with the purpose of antici-
pating the greatest depression in
our export trade with the conse-
quent disturbance of industries and
lack of employment that will ensue
unless the threatened condition is
promptly met"

RED UPRISING IS

Troops Still in Control, but
Situation Reported as
! Growing Steadily Worse.
(washinrton Heraid-Pubhc Ledger
Servicc-SpeeiaI Cable Dispatch)
By $. b. CONGER.

Berlin, March 16.-The situation is
growing steadily uglier as the day
progresses. Reports of scattering
rife fire here and there in the res
idential suburbs are coming in. but
the troops are still in full control
of the situation.
We are expecting an attempt at
an uprising on the part of the ex-
treme radical elepent, Spartacans
and Independent Socialists. soon,
perhaps ever tonight" the chief of
Dr. Kapp's chancellory informed
your correspondent.
On the principle of forewarned is
forearmed. he evidently believed
troops will have no difficulty in
dealing with any disorder.
Both Sides Playing Politics.
Subordinate adherents of both the
Ebert and Kapp administrations are
playing politics with rumors of en-
tente action in favor of one side or
the other, in which they find ready
credence among the uninformed pop
ufation. AS a matter of fact, the
entente commissions here are main
tanning a complete hands-off atti-
tude, and have discontinued their
labors under the peace treaty pro-
visions until there is some clarity in
the domestic situation.
The telegraph service is demoral-
ized. Official orders have been issued
suspending the domestic service, to
prevent the transmission of strike
orders, and few operators are avail
able to transmit foreign dispatches.
Practically no news is coming from
outside sources. and the reaction in
foreign countries to the news of
the revolution is still unknown.
Dresden Railroads Tied Up.
An American who motored from
Dresden reports that the railroads
are tied up completely in that region
by a general strike. also affecting
factories, restaurants, shops, etc,
but that the, strike was generally
regarded as a temporary affair to
demonstrate the solidarity of labor
with the old government.
