of Russia a fair amount of cer- fjj i

proportionately a large share of jjjj 1

lity of the associated governments B 1
enforce payments was still good
i that other states dependent upon

Germany proved recalcitrant.
The difficulty probably will be met

labor, materials, cattle ana other

Germany, although her prisoners I
