us. MAY WITHDRAW
TROOPS ON RHINE
Ratification of Peace Treaty
May Be Signal for Official
Action Here.

limitations are given in high off,
cial quarters that withdrawal of the
American troops from, the Rhine will
be seriously considered as soon as
the peace treaty signed in Berlin has
been ratified by the Senate and the
German reichstag.
Under the new treaty Germany
agrees to perpetuate the promise she
made in the treaty of Versailles TO
pay the expenses of occupation. but
there is no direct mention OF the
subject which it is understood could
be interpreted as in any way affect
ing the present situation or binding
the United States either to remain or
withdraw.
The Versailles agreement fixed fif-
teen years as the maximum period of
occupation. So far as is known,
there was no consideration of the
subject in the negotiations leading
up to the present treaty, and officials
take the view here tnat the decision
lies wholly with this government:
the forces of occupation might i'm
pose such a financial burden on Ger
many as to delay materially her pay
ment of reparation.
Latest available figures place the
number of American troops in the
army Of occupation at $4,000, whose
cost Of maintenance is nearly mil
lion a month. Only small part Of
the maintenance bill has been met
by the German government thus far,
upward of $25O.O0O.000 being due to
the United States on account of the
occupation.

RUSSIA |S=FAC|NG
VITAL PROBLEM
Task of Conserving Product
i've Resources Greater Than
That of Feeding Hungry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. August 21.-Russia' S
problem appears to he vastly great
than the task of feeding the mill
lions in the famine-stricken districts
of the country. 1t would seem to he.
rather, a question of conserving the
productive resources of this district.
which has in the past been known as
''tlie granary of Europe.
This was the view taken of the sit
uation yesterday by Leo kamenen
head of the Russian famine commits
sion. who outlined the work to be done
10 relief workers here.
"GambIe ON Hope" OF Outside Aid.
I'm the face of the famine dilemma.
he said the only thing the Russian
government can do is to gamble on the
hope of outside aid and take the WIN
ter store of food grain from all farm
erS throughout Russia and use 1t as
seed for this falls sowing. The only
way to save Russia from Impending
disaster is to take grain from ths
hungry and give it to the starving.
TIE amount of grain needed for
seeding the 1880 900 acres to be sown
this fall apprOXimated 2T0.OOO tons
of which Russia could furnish only
$4,000, NJ. kaneneff said. This area
is bout the same as WAS plduteu ~
this country in 1920. but is onis haii
the pre-war acreage.
Date of Planting Important.
although seed must be planted by
September Is. if there Is to be crop
at all next season. he continued. III
IS obvious that even then the problem
will be unsolved. There must oe
farmers to harvest the grain and theJ
must be able to remain where there
rod
cannot do without food. At the rate
of about twelve ounces of bread dairy
to a person, Russia will require 1.2oo.-
900 tons of grain to cover the ten
months from the 1st OF OCTOBER u
the next harvest; or TINS amour. m UNI
cent, which will leave shortage OF
about $4,000 tons.
III we do gamble on the hope OF
outside aid and use up the food sup
ply for seed, the famine may slaugn-
ter during the coming winter not only
those now suffering from hunger. but
also those whose grain must be taken
with some $50 shiploads of 5000
tons each this whole problem can
be solved. and that is our problem In
q nutshell.
Question Of Transportation.
In reply to a query as to the ability
of the soviet government 10 tlanspoi
grain to the famine districts, II 1t was
available, NJ Kamenen said:
1--WE have plenty of box cars, bu'
are without locomotives. so we can
do little to move supplies"
"The former Russian government,
he continued, ordered some 800 loco
motives in the United States. and we
believe most of them still are there.
We have tried to secure them. but
have been unsuccessful. If these could
lie obtained it would solve half the
rroblem OF course that is business
i.or charity We are immensely CRATE
ful for Americas generous offer OF
alp for our starving children. but for
-ne regeneration of Russia, We expect
% pay our way. Our handicap hither-
10 has been that we could not buy.

whipping him within an inch of
his life"
Rev. W. f. Harrison admitted
that he had performed the mar
riage ceremony for Pfster and
Miss Turner. He would not COM
ment upon Magistrate McCallis-
ter's remarks, but said that he
would have something to say
about this particular marriage
later on.
Pfister and his bride were locked
up on their return to the city
upon warrants sworn out by the
girls father. charging the girl
with being incorrigible and the
young man with perjury in giving
the girls age as eighteen years
when he obtained the license,
The magistrate said that he was
obliged to dismiss the girl on the
ground that she was now a mar.
ried woman and could not be held
for incorrigibility. but he held the
young man for the Howard coun-
ty authorities on the perjury
charge.
Magistrate McCallister further
said that he considers it the duty
OF the Maryland legislature to pass
law requiring ten days publi-
cation of marriage licenses before
the ceremony. in order to prevent
just such marriages as the one
involved in this case
