Germany to Demand
Shipping Tonnage
At Spa Conference
Nation Has Not Sufficient
Vessels for Her Coastal
Requirements, 1t Is Said:
Wants Her Trade Restored

MANCHESTER, Eng, May 21.-Writ-
ing on the forthcoming conference at
Spa with the Germans, the Berlin cor
respondent of "The Manchester Guar
dian" says:
Il am assured on very high authority
that Germany is potentially in q posi-
ton to put forward a reparation esti-
mate that ought not to fall short Of
intelligent and reasonable Allied de-
mands, but it will be expressly pointed
out that the naming of figure must
be made dependent upon the restora-
tlon OF the European economic machine
to something like working order. The
present chaos renders any reasonable
conversation impossible. Among the
conditions precedent to reasonable
discussion are likely to be found the
following:
1.-THE granting to Germany of a
say 100000 tons. At the moment she
has not sufficient tonnage for her mini
mum coastal requirements.
"2-Ihe ALLEGATION to Germany Of the
proceeds of the liquidation of the Ger
man property in England and France.
IN pounds and francs. America and
Brazil have led the way In this mat
ter. Otherwise Germany, under the
treaty, will be compelled to compen-
safe her dispossessed Nationals to an
amount likely to be between ten and
twenty billion gold marks-at any rate
a stupendous and under present con-
dltlons intolerable sum, which could
only mean a catastrophe addition to
the paper money imitation.
"a drastic reduction Of the gross
ly excessive and swollen costs Of the
occupation, which amount to between
two and three billion marks.
"4-lnsistence upon the impossible
ity Of fulfilling the coal delivery oil
cations II the Silesian coal Held is
lost.
"5-The restoration Of economic in
tercourse between Germany and her
neighbors, at least on the basis Of reel
procity. This last is the most i'm
portant condition of al l."

Banker Says Poles
Will Be First to
Recover From War
Reports in America Regard
ingAlleged Desperate Eco
nonic State of Nation
Are Called Exaggerated

Poland Is rapidly rising to her feet
and will be the first country on the
Continent to recover from the effects
of the war, according to Roman L.
Modra, president of the Union Liberty
State Bank, Third Avenue and Twenty
third Street, and of the Polish Ameri-
can Shipping Corporation, who re-
turned yesterday from q two months
visit to Poland
Mr.. Modra said that he visited near
ly every important city in Poland and
all sections of the country, and found
that the reports received in America
in regard to the alleged desperate
economic state of the country are ex-
tremely exaggerated.
According to Mr.. Modra, the cost of
living in Poland is considerably be-
low that in the United States. One
can obtain a good steak in Warsaw
for the equivalent of 20 cents in
American money; shoes are obtainable
at one half the price here, and cloth
York City. The same is true Of
clothes, said Mr. Modra.-a
Reports Of the ravages of disease in
Poland, Mr.. Modra said, are likewise
untrue. The American Red Cross and
other agencies have cleaned up Poland
pretty we'll as far as disease is con-
cerned, he said, the only areas still
troubled with this problem being those
bordering on the Russo-Polish mill
tary front. Here, too, Mr.. Modra said,
the American Red Cross is doing
wonderful work for the army and the
population.
poland is eager to extend and
deepen its relations with the United
can capital and American enterprise
will have the best chance in Poland
The Polish people are extremely CRATE
full to the people Of the United States
for the aid extended to them thus far
and are now ready to enter into pure
ly business and financial relations with
this country on a large scale. I feel
sure that these relations will be most
cordial and mutually beneficial
conditions in Warsaw are very
good" said Mr., Modra. "The same
is truo Of the rest of the country. The
Polish government is working night
and day to establish stability, and both
the government and the country's bust
American methods. The railroads and
telephone lines are working smoothly,
despite the fact that the Germans had
stripped the country of most of the ma
terials that go into the maintenance of
railways and telegraph lines. The
life of the cities, particularly of such
large cities as Warsaw, Cracow, Lem
berg, Przemysl and Tarnow, Is pulsat-
ing with health and vigor. There is
plenty of food, and tho crops this year
are expected to be most satisfactory.
Trade is booming, there is work for
all who care to work, and all the talk
about Poland being threatened with
Bolshevism is sheer nonsense"
Mr.. Modra said that the Polish gov
eminent is now working out new
currency system for the country, to be
based upon that of the French and the
unit of which will be the "zloty," the
equivalent of the French franc.

PRESIDENT Wilson for his expressed de-

against such a course because the
country needs and should have only
peace with the world"

This can only be explained by the fact
that the Senate forced the House to

sentiment Of the country" He said
that he favored repeal Of the declara-
tlons OF war with Great Britain in 1912

These were repealed bv treaties Of

Bull ggarians Join
Turks; Prepare to
Resist Greek Force
New Thracian Government
at Adrianople Dismisses
Old Officials; Nationalist
Soldiers Defeat Sultan

CONSTANTINOPLE. May 81 (By
The Associated Press.)-The new Thra-
clan government at Adrianople has dis
missed all the old officials. Former
Sub Governor Ardjument Ekran Bey,
who has arrived in Constantinople, said
to-day that Bulgarians are crossing
into Turkey IN large numbers and join
ing the Turks, who are preparing to
resist the Greeks.
Bulgarians, according to Ekran Bey,
will form the backbone of the forces
opposing the Greeks, but he declared
that Colonel Jafar Tayar, who was the
Turkish commandment at Adrianople,
has 10000 Turkish soldiers available
Turkish Nationalists have seized the
village Of koum Kaleh at the southern
entrance to the Dardanelles and are
either defeating the Sultan's troops
or are persuading them to desert to
the army Of Mustapha Renal Pasha,
the Nationalist leader, at various points
along the Sea of Marmora.
Anzevour Pasha, the only conspicu-
Gus supporter of the Sultan in Ana
tolia, has been seriously wounded and
his chief or staff hanged by National
lists near Gouve. At Eski Chehir and
0eiOA pO4IIS dIOAS Iic aIldCOl4du hali-
way the Nationalists are bringing in
unwilling recruits in groups of five or
six with iron rings locked about their
necks and connected up by chains with
fellow-shirkers.
Damad Ferid Pasha. the grand
vizier, went to Ismid Wednesday
where it is reported he will have a
conference with some of the National
list leaders from Angora. These prob
ably will be Djemal Ladine and Arif
Bey.
There are many indications that
French troops will evacuate Cilica
within thirty days and concentrate
their forces in Syria. This would re-
lieve a strained situation In Adana,
Aintab, Curfa and other points where
Turks opposing French troops are op-
Grating outside Of territory that will
be under the French mandate for Syria.
1t ia believed the French will gather
their forces to take over Aleppo for
northern headquarters. Most of the
French forces in Constantinople have
already moved toward Alexandretta
the port of Aleppo. Beirut dispatches s
say a French punitive expedition will
be sent to Tyre and the ghborhood
OF Sldon to suppress attacks upon
Christians
The diplomatic policy of France now
apparently Is to conciliate the Turks
and Arabs. and avoid military clashes.
