fARlS, May 16.-Ukrainian repre-
sentatives at Paris are very much per-
turbed over the hearings in the law
suit which will begin Monday at Bor-
deaux concerning the purchases of war
material from the American govern
ment. The Ukrainians accuse the
Americans Of putting pressure on the
French government to have points in
the dispute decided in favor of the
U. S.
The quarrel is over $12 100000 worth
of medical supplies and materials
boots, clothing and other articles
United States when the dollar was
worth about francs
Later American representatives in
France sold the same materials to the
Serbs at Id francs for the dollar.
Owing to rumors spread abroad con-
cernlng this affair, it is important that
Americas good name should be cleared
The Ukrainians declare they appealed
direct to the American government to
no reply. So far the Ukrainians have
gained through every lawsuit and have
good prospects of winning the appeal
at Bordeaux.
Nevertheless, they complain that
even if they win at Bordeaux the
Americans may prevent them from tax
ing the material they want, especially
the medical stores, which are urgently
needed in the Ukraine. The Ukrainan
case is In the hands of Maitre Lemery,

Commerce, his name is considered in
France as a guaranty Of justice to the
cause he is defending.
The story of the trouble as given to
The Tribune by the Ukrainian Legation
this afternoon is that after the pur-
chase Of the materials by the Ukrainian
government the contract was turned
over to Ukrainian cooperative societies
which, with their branches throughout
the country. were to act as distributors.
said, however, that they could not
recognize Ukrainian co0peratives and
intended to take back the material.
Despite the Ukrainian protests, the
Americans resold the goods to the
Serbs, and Colonel Edward Noble
ordered a major and forty men to go
to Lamgres and take charge Of the
material.
The Ukrainians appealed to the
French officers in charge of the depot,
who pointed out that the goods were
to the Ukrainian government, and that
whatever were the rights in the case 1t
was impossible to take possession of
the goods by force. The Anne rcan

TOLEDO, Ohio: May 16.-Toledo's
wood alcohol casualty list climbed
termed alarming proportions. With
two men dead and score reported
i'll or dying during the last twenty
four hours, police facilities were
taxed in caring for the sufferers.
Most Of the poison victims were first
arrested for intoxication. At the sta
tion their condition became worse and
death in two of the instances followed
quickly.
Police said several of the victims
became suddenly paralyzed while walk
ing on the streets, falling upon side
walks.
Federal authorities are working with
the police in an effort to find the
source of the poison. it was said.

King George for
Volunteer Army
Organization of Citizen
Defense Declared Vital
to Safety OF Empire

LONDON, May licking George de-
clared yesterday to the lord lieutenants
of the counties, the lord mayors and lord
provosts, who gathered at Buckingham
Palace in answer to the call for the
reconstruction of the territorial volun-
teer army that the formation of vol
unteer citizen army was indispensable
to the safety and freedom of the en-
pire.
"No more valuable proof of our peace
full strength and the soundness of our
national life and character" continued
the King, could be given to the world
than the fact that we have abandoned
the principle of compulsory military SER
vice, to which we were forced to resort
in the hard times of the war, and have
returned to the purely voluntary sys-
TEN.
THE foundation of that voluntary
principle must be a territorial army,
strong enough to enable the regular
forces to move about the empire as cir
cumstances require. 1t must be strong
enough also, If new dangers of a most
serious kind confront US, to secure us
breathing space necessary to enable
the full strength of all the peoples Of
the empire to be organized for its de-
fense."

Nlcky Arnstein remained in Ludlow

him with writ signed by Federal
Judge John c Knox.

day to answer questions in an exam

Myers, attorney for the National
Surety Company.
This concern had Arnstein adiudged
a bankrupt for the purpose of finding
securities which Nicky in state indict-
ments, IS charged with stealing with
the connivance of messengers of banks
and brokerage firms. 1t was Mr..
Myers who propounded the questions
which Arnstein refused to answer on

Enfbargoes on All Dead
Consignments and Pri-
ority for Food, Fuel and
Perishables Are Likely
Experts of [. C. C..
Assemble Data
Situation Already Cost.
ing Nation Millions a
Dayin Underproduction

WASHINGTON, May 16.-There
were indications tonight that the
government would act within forty
eight hours to break the nationwide
freight jam which for nearly a
month has been slowly clinching its
grip on the throat of industry.
Sweeping orders by the Interstate
Commerce Commission granting pri-
ority of shipment for food, fuel and
perishables were confidently awaited
by railroad officials, who yesterday
appealed to the commission to use
all Of the emergency powers vested
in it by the transportation act. They
expected the commission also to bar
temporarily the transportation of all
dead" freight, so that necessaries
of life could be rushed to communi-
ties where shortages soon will exist.
The commission was understood
to be prepared to lay aside its rou-
tine business that its whole effort
might be directed at ending the traf-
tic congestion. Its experts have been
instructed to work in conjunction
with the American Railroad Associ
alton car service committee in as
sembling all available data on the
car situation, with a view to appor-
tioning the supply where it would do
the most good.
New Dangers Revealed
Appeals Of the railroads for help
have brought to light new dangers.
Developments in the last twenty-four
hours showed that decidedly menac-
ing condition confronted the CONNER
cial world through the tie-up of the
financial resources Of business houses.
Delay in movement Of products was de
clared to have brought many plants
face to face with imminent shutdown.
because of the failure to finance fur
ther production without heavy borrow
1ngs to replace the money temporarily
tied up. Interest rates at this time
are SO high as to make that course
out Of the question for most Of the
manufacturing concerns, according to
Treasury officials. 1t was said the
congestion was costing the nation
millions a day through underproduc-
ton.
Wholesalers and retailers alike are
suffering through inability to obtain
delivery of goods due for month or
more, railroad men said This has
caused a shortage in some linee which
threatens to become serious unless the
government can break the blockade
Roads to Cooperate
Railroad officials reiterated their
declaration to 60 "all the way" with
the commission in any program. They
were frankly willing to unity to the
limit, exchange equipment or make
other arrangements to meet the tenn
porary requirements. What they want
they asserted, is lifting of the burden
until they can get on their feet.
The volume of freight Of all kinds
offered for transportation was said 20
be larger than the roads ever had been
called upon to handle. Railroad men
said that unless there was quick relief
the jam would grow and the movement
of any freight made more difficult
within few days because Of the in
creasing number Of cars tied up.
