Paris.—Stephen Pichon, the French, foreign minister, in his talk with*the. correspondents, discussed the bearing of the food situation in Germany on the speedy .conclusion of peace. He said that the urgent need of supplying Germany was recognized at Paris. In signing the armistice last Janu ary, Germany agreed to, hand over her commercial fleet, to be used in re victualling Europe generally, and Ger many particularly. Yet, continued the minister, at a recent meeting at Spa the German delegates declared that the arrangement was unsatisfactory and Jhat they would “absolutely refuse to part with their ships.”. The allies were willing,-^lr. Pichon went on, not only to supply fopd, Wf to accord credit to Germany, but '‘Ger many must first declare her willing; ness to live up to the conditions of the January armistice. - * As soon as the terms of the Get;-. man peace have been concluded, Mp* Pichon said, the council would take up the Austrian peace which wpuld involve the future boundaries betweeri Italy and former. Austro-^ifngarian territory. The subject has already been disenssed recently. The council has adopted Premier Lloyd George’s plans for regulaitng the future military strength of Germany! according to the minister who confirm ed the fact that this involves the abandonment of conscription in favor of a small professional army. ^ TERRIBLE PICTURE IS DRAWN ‘ OF CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA Washington.—David R. , Francis, who went to Russia as American am bassador in ,1916 before the over throw of the monarchy and who'' re mained there until after the bolshe- vists had seized the goverihnent. in testifying before the senate commit tee investigating lawless propaganda, warned? that should the bolshevists be permitted to remain in power all Rus sia would be exploited by the Ger mans. Within 10 ‘years under siich' conditions, he said, Germany would be the victor of the war in that the nation would be stronger in every way than it was in 1914. He painted a vivid picture of.’ the terror that reigns and told of one in stance where the gutters from a court yard in Petrograd actually ran with blood from the victims of the bol shevists. Many were killed without even charges being made against them and on several occasions, the ambassador aserted, wholesale kill ings were indulged in. He said more than five hundred innocent hostages were killed at one time, and his ob- servati«n of conditions and affairs in Russia led him to believe the bolshe vists In their every-day practices com mitted, excesses far beyond even the wildest dreams of anarchists.
