Treaty Forces Rumania to
Feed Army of Occupation
It Regulates Size of Con?
quered Army and Limits
Its Armament
Teutons Seize Vast
Strips of Territory
AU of Dobrudja Taken and
Austrian Frontiers
Rectified
AMSTERDAM, May 8.?The peace
treaty signed by Germany and her
?Hies with Rumania consists of eight
clauses. The first restores peace.
The second demobilizes the Ru?
manian army, except ten divisions, two
remaining as protection for the fron?
tiers of Bessarabia, and eight in Mol?
davia, the total not to exceed 20,000
infantry and 3,200 cavalry.
The third clause separates Dobrudja
from Rumania and restores to Bulgaria
the territory which fell to Rumania by
the treaty of Bucharest in *l913. Ru?
mania cedes to the Central Allies that
part of Dobrudja north of the new
Bulgarian frontier line to the mouth
of the Danube. The frontier is recti?
fied in favor of Austria-Hungary.
State property in the land ceded by
Rumania passes without indemnity to
the states which acquire these regions.
The inhabitants, however, shall have
the right of option and emigration.
The fourth clause deals with indem?
nities, the signatories of the treaty
renouncing any claim to reimburse?
ment for the cost of the war, but spe?
cial arrangements are to be made for
damages caused by the war.
Free Navigation of Danube
The evacuation of the occupied ter?
ritories is taken up in the fifth clause,
while the sixth provides for free navi?
gation of the Danube, Rumania sur?
rendering the right to collect tolls on
ships navigating the river or entering
ports. The Central allies have the
right to keep warships virtually any?
where on the river.
Equality of all religions in Rumania
is provided for in Clause 7, while the
eighth clause has to do with the eco?
nomic relations of Rumania with the
Central Allies. These will be regulated
by separate agreements, which will go
into force simultaneously with the
peace treaty.
The "Rheinische Westfaelische Zei?
tung," of Essen, a copy of which has
been received here, prints the following
concerning the signing of the peace
treaty with the Ukraine:
"We have concluded ?. bread peace.
Bread is on the way?to Austria. With
Rumania we have concluded a peace
which, besides bread, is to bring us
petroleum. It is a long way from Ru?
mania to Berlin. Between them lies
Austria, to whose famishing border
population in German Bohemia and
Tyrol we have had to supply food to
save them from death by starvation.
The German people know all that. Is
it any wonder they have become skep?
tical ?" ?
Hungary Gets Territory
According to an inspired communi?
cation printed in the Vienna press, !
copies of which have been received !
here, it.is pointed out that under the i
terms of the Rumanian treaty Austria
will receive to the south of Czerno
witz, capital of the crownland of Buko?
wina, a piece of. Rumanian territory
about 600 square kilometres in extent.
Hungary's accesrf>n of territory will
be 5,000 square kilom?tres of sparsely
populated mountain country.
The communication points out that
GERMAN "PEACE" SURGERY IN RUMANIA
9 '
The black area on the map shows the southern portion of Dobrudja, won
from the Bulgars in a former war, which Rumania has been forced to
return unconditionally to Bulgaria. Upper Dobrudja, which includes the
mouths of the Danube and Rumania's only access to the Black Sea, King
Ferdinand has been compelled to cede to the Central Powers, who will
administer it through a mixed commission. The shaded area along
Rumania's western border indicates the German "rectification" of the
frontier, which gives Austria all the mountain passes and important
mineral lands.
! the payment of war damages primarily
affects the destruction wrought by Ru
I mania in Transylvania.
It says also that the Bulgarian Pre?
mier, M. Radoslavoff, in addressing the
? people at Rustchuk, referred to the
! apportionment to Bulgaria of the Do
! brudja up to within a few kilometres
of the line of Constanza-Tchernavoda.
The remainder of the province, he said,
for the moment was left under the co
dominion of all the allies (Teutonic).
Bulgaria, the Premier concluded, had
! not been* required to give territorial
compensation to any one in return for
the territory she had acquired.
The treaty follows:
"Article 1.?Germany, Austria-Hun
j gary, Bulgaria and Turkey, on the one
hand, and Rumania, on the other, de
! clare the state of war ended and that
{ the contracting parties are determined
i henceforth to live together in peace
I and friendship.
"Article 2.?Diplomatic and consular
? relations between the contracting
i parties will be resumed immediately
after the ratification of the peace
treaty. The admission of consuls will
be reserved for a future agreement."
The second clause deals with de?
mobilization of the Rumanian forces.
"Article 3.?The demobilization of
the Rumanian army, which is now pro?
ceeding, will, immediately after peace
is signed, be carried out according to
the prescriptions contained in Articles
4 and 7.
How Army Is Regulated
"Article 4.?The regular military
bureau, the supreme military authori?
ties and all the military institutions
will remain inexistence as provided by
the last peace budget. The demobili?
zation of Divisions Eleven to Fifteen
will be continued as stipulated in the
treaty of Focfcani, signed on March 8
last. Of the Rumanian Divisions One
to Ten, the two infantry divisions now
employed in Bessarabia, including the
ttaeger battalions which are the rem?
nants of dissolved Jaeger divisions, and
including two cavalry divisions of the
Rumanian army, will remain on a war
footing until the danger arising from
the military operations now being car?
ried on in the Ukraine by the Central
Powers ceases to exist.
"The remaining eight divisions, in
eluding the staff, shall be maintained
in Moldavia at the reduced peace
strength. Each division will be com?
posed of four infantry regiments, two
cavalry regiments, two field artillery
regiments and one battalion of pio?
neers, together with the necessary tech
! nical and transport troops. The total
! number of the infantry of the eight
divisions shall not exceed 20,000 men;
the total number of cavalry shall not
exceed 3,200; the entire, artillery of
the Rumanian army, apart from the
mobile divisions, shall not exceed 9,000
men. The divisions remaining mob?
ilized in Bessarabia must, in case of
demobilization, be reduced to the same
peace standard as the eight divisions
mentioned in Article 4.
"AH other Rumanian troops which
did not exist in peace time will, at the
end of their term of active military
service, remain as in peace time. Rt>
servists shall not be called up for
training until a general peace has been
concluded.
"Article 5.?Guns, machine guns,
small arms, horses and cars and am?
munition which are available owing
to the reduction or the dissolution of
the Rumanian units shall be given
into the custody of the supreme com?
mand of the Teuton allied forces in
Rumania until the conclusion of a gen?
eral peace. They shall be guarded and
superintended by Rumanian troops un?
der supervision of the allied command.
The amount of ammunition to be left
to the Rumanian army in Moldavia is
250 rounds for each x-ifle, 2,500 for
each machine gun and 150 for each
gun.
"The Rumanian army is entitled to
exchange unserviceable material at the
depots of the occupied region, in agree?
ment with the allied supreme com?
mand, and to demand from the depots
the equivalent of the ammunition
spent. The divisions in Rumania
w:hich remain mobilized will receive
their ammunition requirements on a
war basis.
"Article 6.?The demobilized Ru?
manian troops to remain in Moldavia
until the evacuation of the occupied
Rumanian regions. Excepted from
this provision, are" military bureaus

and Constanza (KuBtenje)."
Article 11 says that Rumania
j agrees thnt her frontiers shall un?

Regulations for Ceded Sections
; "Article n.-'Pioperty in the ceded

| on the following points: Firstly, with
regard to the allegiance of the Ru?
manian inhabitants of these regions
and the manner in which they are to
j be accorded the right of option; sec
: ondlv, with regard to the property^of
communes split by the new frontier;
thirdly and fourthly, with regard to
administrative and juridical matters;
fifthly, with regard to the effect of
1 the changes of territory on dioceses."
Article thirteen declares that the
contracting parties mutually renounce
indemnification of their war costs, and
special arrangements are to be made
for the settlement of damages caused
bv the war.
The fifth clause relates to the evacua?
tion of occupied territories, embodied
in Articles 14 to 24, ?summed up as fol?
lows:
"The occupied Rumanian territories
shall be evacuated at times to be later
agreed upon. The strength of the army
of occupation shall, apart from the
formation employed in economic func?
tions, not surpass six divisions. Until
the ratification of the treaty the pres?
ent occupation administration con?
tinues, but immediately after the sig?
nature of the treatv the Rumanian
government has the power to supple?
ment the corps of officals by such ap?
pointments or dismissals as may seem
. good to it.
Germans Administer Railways
"Up to the time of evacuation a civil
official of the occupation administra?
tion shall always be attached to the
Rumanian Ministry in order to facili?
tate as far as possible the transfer of
the civil administration to the Ru?
manian authorities. The Rumanian au?
thorities must follow the directions
which the commanders of the army of
occupation consider requisite in the in?
terest of the security of the occupiet
territory, as well as the security, main?
tenance and distribution of theii
troops.
"For the present railways, post3 and
telegraphs will remain under militarj

posal of the authorities and popula?
tion. As a general rule the Rumanian
courts will resume jurisdiction in the
occupied territories to their full ex?
tent. The allied powers will retain
jurisdiction, as well as trie power oi
police supervision, over those belong?
ing to the army of occupation. Pun?
ishable acts against the army of occu?

well as with regard to the withdrawa

administration. Money spent by th(
allied powers in the occupied terri
tories on public works, including indus

Colonization
Policy in East
Vice-Chancelior Says Rus?
sian Border States Must
Protect Germany
Would Safeguard
Her Food Supplies
Von Payer Tells Reichstag
Finland Solicited Inter?
vention in Revolt
AMSTERDAM, May 8.?Friedrich von
Payer, the German imperial Vice-Chan?
cellor, in announcing to the Main Com?
mittee of the Reichstag the establish?
ment of a special department to regu?
late Germany's Eastern policy, said:
"We hope particularly for advan?
tages relating to the safeguarding of
our food supplies, and then for what
can be comprised under the general
term of colonization. The relationship
of border states to us shall and must
furnish us with the military security
of our frontiers against Russia, which
security we cannot renounce.
"Besides this, however, there is also
national sympathy with the Germans
in those territories. That applies par?
ticularly to the Baltic provinces. The
treatment of states must differ, accord?
ing to their size, their economical and
political conditions, their geographical
situation and further direct connection
which is possible."
Herr von Payer defei.ded Germany's
intervention in Finland, saying:
"We rejoice that by our intervention
we insured to Finland her independence
and freedom. But really our funda?
mental idea was to create in North Fin?
land a final condition of peace, both
military and political.
"Our intervention was solicited by
the legitimate Finnish government."
Germany, Herr von Payer contijiudd,
had no desire to interfere in the in?
ternal affairs of Finland, and just as
little was there need to do so. The
method of Finland's future develop?
ment was purely a Finnish affair.
The Vice-Chancellor added that Ger?
many had concluded treaties with Fin?
land which corresponded to the inter?
ests of both parties to the contract and
which were calculated to strengthen
the relations of an economic and polit?
ical nature.
Performed Service for Sweden
By liberating Finland, he added. Ger?
many also had performed a consider?
able service to Sweden by the creation
of a protective wall toward the east.
Regarding Esthonia and Livonia,
Herr von Payer said both countries
must first, clear u^ their relations to
Russia. They must'place their govern?
ments of popular representation on a
broader basis. Ger/nany would not in- |
terfere in this.
"The Lithuanians must establish
their own government," said Herr von i
Payer. "The consolidation and admin
istr'ation of this government can only i
take place in agreement with the Ger- I
man civil and military administration. !
"Austria-Hungary and Germany have !
agreed not to interfere in the internal
affairs of the Ukraine. That, however, !
is limited by the aim of our march into
the Ukraine for the restoration of or?
der and out of regard for our troops."
Anarchy Spreading
Throughout Ukraine;
Many Slain at Kiev
LONDON, May 8. ? Anarchy is
spreading throughout the Ukraine as
a result of the German action in over?
throwing the government and replac?
ing it with another one, according to
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Copenhagen. There have been riots
at several places. During a serious
outbreak in Kiev a large number of
persons were killed. An attempt was
made to kill the Ukrainian Premier,
who, however, escaped with slight
wounds.
The Socialist "Vorw?rts," of Berlin,
the dispatch adds, publishes an offi
cial Ukrainian statement regarding
Germany Tried to Trick Sweden
Into Joining War Against Allies
(Spirial Diapatch ta The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, May 8.?German po?
litical trickery designed to force Swe?
den to abandon her neutrality was dis?
closed in diplomatic intelligence re?
ceived here to-day. The "White gov?
ernment" of Finland invited Sweden, at
the time of Swedish occupation of the
Aland Islands and before German in?
tervention in the islands, to give it mili?
tary and other support against the
"Reds," or Bolaheviki, of Finland.
At the same time Finland was carry?
ing on negotiations with the German
government secretly, and it has been
proved that the Finnish overtures to
Sweden were inspired by Germany and
were intended to compel Sweden to
enter the war on the side of the Cen?
tral Powers. The intrigue was discov?
ered and frustrated by the caution of
the Swedish government, which was
determined to preserve Sweden's neu?
trality.
Opposition to Intervention
The advices stated that there is con?
siderable opposition ;n Finland to Ger?
man intervention and hostility to the
"White" authorities responsible for it.
The country is declared to be des
j perately in need of foodstuffs, and
German intervention has defeated the
efforts of Finnish agents, who had re?
ceived assurances of assistance from
Great Britain and the United States,
which is now denied on account of the
relations of Finland with the enemv.
It is said there are three strong par?
ties in Finland. The first desires the
closest relations with Sweden and is
antagonistic toward Russia and Ger?
many. Another party favors the per?
petuation of Finnish union with Rus?
sia, although with Finnish autonomy.
The third party is the Finnish, which
is opposed both to affiliation with Swe?
den and union with Russia, and which,
to serve its own purposes invited Ger?
man intervention. t
Signs of Discontent
German influence is said to dominate
Finland at the present, but there are
increasing signs of popular discontent
with the arrangement, owing to the
inability of Germany to supply the
national needs, especially foodstuffs in
appreciable quantities.
The people fear also that Germany
plans.to extend her system over Fin?
land, or at the least to make that
country tributary to Germany, with
possibly a German prince as a ruler.
It was considered unlikely that, in the
present temper of the national feeling,
a monarchy in Finland with a German
prince could successfully be estab?
lished except with powerful military
aid.
' the events in Kiev on April 26. Ger?
man soldiers entered the Rada at 4
i o'clock in the afternoon, surrounded
the members and shouted "Hands up!"
? The President of the Rada, who p\'v
j tested, was thrown to the ground anJ
i other members were ill-treated. Ex
; amination of the members lasted four
j hours and all documents were seized.
German Royalist
I To Be Proclaimed
King of Finland
I ? LONDON, May 8.?There seems lit
I tie doubt that a monarchy will be
proclaimed in Finland, says a Stock?
holm dispatch to "The Times" and that
the German candidate, Duke Adolph
Frederick of Mecklenberg-Schwerin,
uncle of the Crown Princess of Ger?
many, will be King.
A spirit of reaction has spread
throughout the country, it is added,
and the Finnish constitution, which
was the most democratic in Europe, is
to be remodelled on more or less auto
i cratic li.iis. The Socialists and
Democrats are under the ban for hav
