FLOOD OF WAR SUITS
is EXPECTED SHORTLY
Claims Involving Millions Antici-
pated as Aftermath of Peace
Proclamation.

War suits involving millions of
dollars, the aftermath of the world
struggle. are expected to be brought
to light within a few months as
result of the formal declaration of
peace issued by President Harding.
Government officials yesterday predict
ed that flood of lawsuits which will
involve the ownership of many mil
lions of dollars worth of property
and securities will be filed in the
courts. The Department of Justice is
preparing to defend the government
pected to be filed. and the Attorney
General will soon have to begin pass
ing on claims for return of property
seized by the alien property custodian
during the war.
One form of litigation which is ex-
pected to constitute the bulk of the
suits brought about by the war is q
series of suits between business con-
Germs and individuals of the United
States and other countries. Prec-
edents and outlines of court decisions
in the CnitC'l States and Germany
are now beng Investigated by the
Department of Justice
The government now holds $4,000
trusts involving approximately $780,
100000, and large part of this is
expected to be returned as a result
of the claims to be filed between now
and spring. Some of the claims are
expected to ask for interest and the
return of the principal, either in
property. securities or cash. which the
government has held in trust.

The conference on the limitation of

statesmen and politicians, Mrs. Robert

1t was pointed out by Mrs. La Fol-

nations because she can divert the

of resources and trade.

DENIES THAT SERBIANS WOULD
ROB ALBANIA OF TERRITORY

have entered into a treaty of alliance
and friendship. In the matter Of the
Baranya. though the JugoslaVs were
far from approving the decision of
the powers, they at once fulfilled the
obligations they had undertaken and
evacuated the district.
Why, then. should Jugoslavia
change her policy in the matter Of
Albania? Mr.. Kuhn declares that
Serbia cares little whether she is
awarded large slices of Albanian ter
ritory. If between these slices the

ton.
Mr.. Kuhn states there is no port

remarkable statement. DuraZzo,

out protection of any kind. No ship
of any size can lie there. Durazzo,
as a port. is far inferior to Ragusa,
Spelato or even Sebenico, Jugoslav
harbors on the Dalmatian coast. To
say that with the possession of
Durazzo Serbia could aspire to the
domination Of the Balkans and at
the same time stand a potential
menace to Italian control of the
Adriatic" is erroneous. Jugoslavia
does not even possess gunboat, so
how could she threaten Italy by the
possession Of an open roadstead like
Durazzo?
Mr.. Kuhn seems to think that the
question Of Albanias frontiers was
settled in 1913. This Is not so. as he
will find if he consults the records.
The general frontier line was indi-
Gated by the conference Of London.
and the actual delimftation was to be
carried out by a special deiimitation

To the Editor Of The Star:
The article by MIR. Oliver Q. Kuhn
on the Albanian situation in The Star
Of Sunday last gives. in my opinion.
such a view of Serbian policy that
am constrained to ask you to give me
the hospitality of your columns to
present the other side of the question.
Firstly. as regards the attitude OF
the kingdom of the Serbs. Croats and
Sloyenes toward the question OF
free and independent Albania, the
Belgrade government has repeatedly
and solemnly declared that 1t favors
and desires a free and Independent
Albania: but it must be really free
and independent. and not merely
puppet government. of which some
power outside Albania pulls the
strings. Secondly. the government
must be able to maintain order in the
interior and prevent acts of brlEand-
age by turbulent clansmen on the
territories of its neighoors.
Mr.. Kuhn states that the govern
ments of London. Paris and Rome

francs Now, it is interesting to
note that before the war the total
wealth of France. everything IN
cluded. lands. buildings. goods and
chattels. credits abroad, etc, was
not valued by her foremost econo-
mists at more than 25O,000,O0o,00o
francs.
After so many disappointments
after Germany has been forced to
bear every effort and every priva-
ton, even sustaining the expense
of the occupation of the LETT BANK
of the Rhine, which amounted last
year to over 25.000.o00,0 marks,
equivalent, at par. to the expense
of maintaining the joint armies of
Germany, France and Italy in pre-
war times. all delusions concsrn-
ing the possibility of the indem-
nifty ever being paid have den-
nitely vanquished. Despite every
effort and privation. Germany can
not give more than a limited guam
tity of coal and other products-a
few billions year at the very
utmost. The condition of her cur
rency, the situation of her credit,
are extremely difficult, and her
sufferings so great, that only those
in evil faith can deny them.
X X X +
The whole economic power OF
Germany is based. first. on the ex.
nloitine of her reserves of coal
and iron, which gave an enormous
deyelopment to the numerous in
dustries essentially dependent on
these two elements: second, on her
tariff system. which enabled her
TO defy all competition; third. on her
powerful commercial organization
beyond the seas. Now. as a result
of the treaty of Versailles. these
three great forces have been sys-
tematically destroyed, completely or
for the most part.
Rut the states which formed the
entente have themselves taken the
trouble to prove all the aosurdity
of the great indemnity.
The United states OF America
has loaned $4.277.000.000 to Great
Britain, 100000 to France,
s1,648,0O0.O00 to Italy, $34s,o00,ooo
to Belgium. and minor sums u
other states.
Great Britain has loaned 557,o00,00o
pounds sterling to France: 56l'-

Nobody doubts that France ana

that in spite of the greatest

RUNS on CHINESE BANKS.

Advices to the Department of Com
merce by cable say that runs have
started on the Bank of Communica-
tions and the Bank of China, in Pc
king, Tientsin and Shanghai. These
banks, according to the cable. have
suspended redemption Of 1otes in
Peking in excess of ten Mexican dol
lars per person, but are up to the
present paying depositors checks in
silver. Railroads. telegraph offices
and post offices are still accepting
notes, the cable said. but some de-
positors are transferring their ac-
counts to foreign banks.
The situation is considered serious,
tho cable concluded, but Chinese
bankers are striving to solve the
situation.
