f AMERICA* ARMY TO ' BE BROUGHT HOME _ IX GERMAN SHIPS r ____ . German Gold and Potash to Come to . America for Our Pork, Lard and k I Wheat, Which, It Is Hoped, L v Will Put An End to Bolshevism. r ? J Paris, March 16.?Before long the ^ J n? nnll ' Bl newiy-iea&cu ucniiau unci ? v?m |R carry 35,000 doughboys back to the United States on each westward trip. This is one of the results of the MBagreement reached at Brussels with ^^fc-ermany by which the allies will sell ^^fcer food forthwith. i It is a business deal, pure and sim-' V pie, without sentiment. I "The conversation was devoid of Ittfemotional statements," said Herbert' r Hoover, who headed the American' ^^ delegation, "except that the German j r commissioners mentioned incidentally' that as their infant mortality had, tripled within the last few month*:. | they asked that condensed milk be in- j clnded in the early shipments. That L tells the story of Germany today." ? *\^re the Germans really starving?" W Mr. Hoover was asked. J "Every German gets some food," he; -?_?- J 'iiu u- t. ? I w ei tru, luctu&s iu iuc cuicicui ojo-i H^tem of distribution. But our investigators have learned that large por- ' tions of the population are suffering V from mal-nutrition, which causes othH^er diseases and death. Starvation isj HA^gradual process." m. German request to borrow money j'; H^^Bm the entente to pay for the food! HP?as flatly refused. The allied dele-1 Agates replied that neither legislation j upr public sentiment in the entente j ctontries permitted such a loan. Am means that Germany will got j 1^^ fnnH srn a rash basis nnlv. Nothinsr 11 ; will be "chalked up." I Lots of Gold. kpiough lacking food, Germany has : of gold stored away, her availpublic funds being larger than! i |Hfl^R-half of the American fund when : war started. ^^^^within two days Germany will de^^Hosit $35,000,000 worth of gold in a I ^^^elgian bank at Brussels, then $55,-1. w~~ vuu.ikhj witmn len aays, against a t credit that will be used to pay the various allies for food delivered to the ^^Germans. H A The first shipment will include 70,tons of fats, which Germany H^Keds most, and later shipments will ^^P>nta!n 30,000 tons of pork, 50,000 /"tons of beans, the same amount of ~ " rice, and 50,000 tons of breadstuffs monthly.. . * i America will supply flour, Britain j rice and beans, and France nuts for oils which the Germans turn into I margerine. Some supplies already * ^y-ftre available at Copenhagen and Rot_ te^am, notably 75,000 tons of bread^ stuffs. The remainder will come from IJP? various points. I ~ Coal, Lumber and Potash. Ultimately, Germany will replace L the gold deposits with: fr Shipping leased to the allies. J 2. Raw materials such as lumber, potash and coal. 3. Manufactures needed by the allies, such as dyes. "Dumping," however, will not be alL lowed. Tlie Germans will be unable L to stifle French competitors whose -nTantR wer? deliberately destroyed by KGermans ill the war. France I s coal, England needs lumber and! [Jnited States needs potash. In re-1 for the.se things the Germans I get food. xt to gold and raw materials,' i Germany will pay through the scle of j Tier holdings in foreign securities and: ? ^hrnnph credits which she mav estab P "lish in neutral countries to whom, the P allies owe money. The Scandinavian v countries owe Germany money for > -? i coal, while France owes the Scandinavian nations for paper pulp. : Ultimately Germany will get back the gold pledged in the Belgian bank. .Sh? will begin to get food within a L -^ew days as soon as the gold has P been carted into Belgium, wliich transaction is a piece of poetic justice besides being practical business. *fhe German tanking delegates ob^rject to the shipping of gold, but the ;allied negotiators overcame the Ger- j H ?non fflore ohnnt fha offopt tin tho I H .X1MULI lva?.

The German ships will be delivered v -under the supervision of the joint naval armistice board. German sailors wij take the boats into British ports and then return home. Ultimately the Germans will deliver all ships abovei i* 2,500 tons and above 1.600 if the allies desire. " 1overa, ftppan-pmn?

By the middle of April the Imperator will be ready to carry home American troGps. Each large steamer will retain some German engineers as experts, while the larger portion of Ger| ? man crews will run freighters f< France and Britain, but under alli( flags. German ships now in South Amer can or Dutch Fast Indian ports \vi be allowed to return under tne ue man flag with supplies for Germany The fishing blockade has been lif ed through the (Brussels agreement Germany will be allowed to pu chase fish from Scandinavia and r< ei me German fishing in the Balti perhaps also later in the North Se What will be ultimately done wil flanna Ti eh'ns nn thp rii eisions of the peace conference whic will impose damages for the destrm tion of allied shipping. The present arrangement is ten l.orary to feed Germany until tfc next crop and to relieve the allie need of shipping. On the first tri 'ho German boats will be una,ble t carry troops to their full capacit; since they *are passenger vessels, bi alter slight alterations they will can ry 35,000 soldiers on each trip. Eight Ships to America This Wee! Eight ships will be delivered to tt United States this week. About a many more are to be delivered late Most of the vessels are big ocean lii ore ahlp tn Mrrv hark frpiphf. Ti: total of German shipping availabl amounts to about 2,000,000 tons. The American delegates who ha received full authority for the peac conference to close the deal wei Herbert C. Hoover, Thomas Lamoi and H. T. Robinson. Politically the arniament is expeci ed to strengthen the German goverr mcnt, which receives the authority t distribute the food. The allies w: not interfere except in emergencies. The recent riots in Berlin are be l:'eved to have been due in a great d< gree to the food shortage in German and the fear prevailed in Paris tha if this shortage was not promptl relieved the allies might not find German government stable enough t sign peace. The allied governments are now i accord with the arrangement whic was originally supported by Americ alone. . , HOLD ON TO WAR niuiiino CTAMDf onmnDD oiwnri Secretary of Treasury Urge Citizens to Keep Govern ment Securities Until The; Shall Have Matured. * Carter Glass, Secretary of the Uni< ed States Treasury, has issued a warr ing to patriotic American citizen against unscrupulous persons wno ac vertise that they are willing to pui chase War Savings Stamps.

Revenue from taxes will not be suf ficient to pay all the bills, so the people will be called upon to provide the money by subscribing to govern 1 ment bonds. This money is goin^ tc 1 pay off tiio army of producers at home [ ?the farmers, merchants, manufac turers and others. America had just begun to fight when the Hun decided it was time tc ' quit.

There is a market f?r rabbit skint. Before the recent war an enormous trade was carried on abroad.
