Many of tho hotels, crippled for sev?
eral days by the strike, are contriving
to' fced their guests. This does not
apply to the Hotel Adlon, a large num?
ber of whose guests, fearing that the
hotel would be the target of attack if
fstreet crowds got beyond control.
moved out to-day. Not so the Jewish
guests, however. Owing to thc anti
Semitic agitation, which, coincident
with the disappearancc of the Baltic
troops diminished considerably, many
of them have not appeared on the
streets since Saturday last. Those un
provided with canncd goods are actually
suffering.
Imperial Flags Disappcar
The imperial flags have disnppeared
from the government building.
A government communication to the
pres3 this afternoon expresses confi?
dence in thc further peaceful develop?
ment of the situation, which is de
scribed as very favorable with regard
to the empire generally.
The only points from which unfavor
eble news was received to-day were
the western industrial districts, ac?
cording to the communication, which
says it is hardly surprising there has
bten fighting at Essen, Remscheid,
Diisseldorflf and MuTheim.
Three editors of thc East Prussian
"Zeitung" have been arrested for high
treason at Koenigsberg, the homo of
I>r. Wolfgang Kapp. It is announced
that the request of Dr. Heine, the Prus?
sian Minister of the Interior, that he
be permitted to resign has not been
granted in view of the abnormal situa?
tion.
Kapp Revolt Chiefs
Face Treason Trial
"Those Guilty Slmll Feel
Full Weight of Law"
President Ebert Says
i
STUTTGART, March 20 (By The As?
sociated Press) (I)elayed). ?The im
mensity of the damage caused in Ger?
many by thc revolution and the conse
quent uprising and the governments
present detcrmination to prosecute the
guilty were voiced by President Ebert
to-day.
"I am optimistic enough to thinK
that the damage has not been eatas
trophal, and that is also the opinion of
the Cabinet," President Ebert said. "1
am sorry the events of the last few
days have proved there are still circles
in Germany that think the distress of
the lost war not great enough./They
are the same groups that always do
sired war; they are the inciters of'the
militarists and reactionaries."
Regarding punishment of the Kapp
leaders and the expectation of some
that the state of siege would make nec?
essary thc execution of all the guilty,
the President declared:
"Those guilty shall feel the full
weight ol* the law. All officers of rc?
sponsible position and all leading civil
ians who joined wilfully will be re?
garded as guilty, will be charged with
high treason, and may be punished
with penal servitude."
Regarding executions under martial
law, Herr Ebert said: "The lawyers
vlll determine. Perhaps somo will be
executed, besides the contiscation of
their property. We want to punish
the leaders, but to spare those who
were forced into the movement or
acted through ignorance."
The President said it would take
time to restore complete quiet, but de?
clared he was confident all would be
vcl!. He expr?ssed his thanks to the
ftfrcign governments for their attitude
(iurinp the crisis, especially to France
artd Austria, which countries sent
diplomatic representatives to Stutt?
gart, and to ?England, whose repre
se/ntative from the beginning dealt
vjth the old government.
A government announcement to-day
jrives the terms of tlie agreement reached
hy Chancellor Bauer nnd other govern?
ment representatives with leaders of tho
the striking elements in Beriin.
Th< statement enumerates eight points
to which the government agreed in or
e.Or to obtain a cessation of the general
Eyrike. The points follow:
Revision of the Cabinet.

U. S. Not a Hotel Clerk
Tourist* Wamed Consulule Will
Not Engage Quarters
From The Tribunt's \Vathintiton Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Warnin*
Americans who contemplate visiting
England to arrange in advance for hotel
accommodations, the State Department
has announced that the American
consulate general in London will not
engage rooms for nationals there.
The department was advised in a
consular report from London that with?
in the last few weeks numerous art'.cles
have. been printed in the English dailv
press to the effect that great numbers
of American visitors are to be expected

According to the depnrtment's ad
vces, "The London Standard" of March
2 published a statement that "it is
estimated that 100,000 rich Americans
are anxious to invade London," and
"Tho London Daily Mail" of the same

what it called "the great American in

Paris Takes
Treaty Defeat
As Sad Blow
Deprived of All Hope of
America's Help in. Time
of Need, People Are Not
Inclined to Bitterness
Offieials Blame Wilson
President Is Not Forgiven
for Continued Refusal
to Accept Reservations
Uricrinl Cable to The Tribune
(Copyright, 1920, Now Tork Tribune Inc.)
PARIS, March 21.?At this moment
Paris mo3t needs the support of the
peace council. She is deprived of all
hope of America'8 help, and in the face
of Anglo-Italian pressure toward treaty
revision, finds herself regretting more
and more that the United States is not
actively partaking in the conferences.
French official circles are inclined to
believe that they might find more sym?
pathy from America than the present
peace conference cxtends to French
opinion.
Under these circumstances the Sen
ate's rejection of the treaty comes as
a snd blow. Every one is inclined to
blame somebody but only a small sec?
tion of the country blames America as
a whole. Most people, including those
in official quarters, believe it is Presi?
dent Wilson's fault, while others cen
sure America's internal politics. Clem
enceau's paper, "L'Homme Libre," tak?
ing a line of its own, declares that if
America has not ratified the treaty it
is largely the fault of tho French
press.
Absence of Bitterness
But, on the whole, the French reac
] tion is mrxrked by an absence of bit?
terness. Perhaps the most resentment
; is shown in official quarters, where
President Wilson is not forgiven for
? rcfusing reservations. The treaty with
; reservations is much preferred in Eu
i rope to no treaty at all, and Wilson is
| criticized for not accepting reservations
; which would be perfectly satisfactory
: to France.
"Le Matin" adopts an ironical tone,
j pointing to the United States as a
j country with a sick President. It says:
"America, which has little taste for
paradoxes, nevertheless realized the
| extraordinary paradox, a newly-born
| Secretary of State and, after the great?
est of all wars, no peace treaty.
"With the President in clouds, the
' Secretnry of State in swaddling clothes
j and the peace treaty still among the
cabbages, what is the situation?
Friendship Unbreakable
"Yet that is America, a great sister
nation, to whom we unchangeably ex
tend our profound affection and our
eternal confidence. It needs more than
? a sick man to create a cloud in a clear
sky of two repubiics, and we need no
official notification to know that Amer?
ica again would send her boys if we
were threatened as in 1918, and we
again would send her our Lafayette if
she were menaced as in 1780."
"Le Figaro" says:
"We are convinced, if the circum
I stances again demanded, we could count
once more on the good will and help
', of America. Between the great two re?
pubiics, united by time-honored friend
sMps, cordial relations remain what
they always have heen."
J "Thc Paris Midi" says: "The con
j clusion that tho peace treaty has be
i come, before cverything else, a ques
| tion of American politics, would bc
i just as wrong as to consider tho Sen
ate'a action a sign of American cold
neas toward France."
| "L'Homme Libre" says: "Some of
; our 'great' newspanors can rcpeat their
mea culpa. If they still have time to
i wcep ovnr the American Senate's vote,
there remains to them at least the
, consol'itioti that il was largely due to
their effort?. American opposition was
of course organized by the personal
1 opnonents of President Wilson and the
irreduciblc uphr.ldcrs of the Monroe
j Doctrine. but it was powerfully forti
fied, helped and increased by French
! criticism."
Blame Mostly on Wilson
M. Gauvin, writing in "Le Journal
j dt-tj Debats." says:
"The responsibility for this sad sit
! nation falls mostly on Wilson. He
| was ncither able to secure thc Senate's
j cooperation during the peace confer
, ence nor to accept reservations which
. applied only to the league of nations.
> He persisted obstinali',- in his system
of absolutism.
"We take the liberty, nevertheless, of
suggesting a way out. Let the disputed
reservations be voted conditionally, that
is to ?ny, that they only bjecomo bind
ing nftev the Presidential election. If
thc election shows that tho country sup
ports them, they shall remain; if not,
they shall bo dropped.
"Such an arrangement would break
the diplomatic rule, but in this particu
lar case conditional ratification appears
permissible, provided tho co-signatorios
aro' agreed. Wilson's face would be
saved, for it would thus be arranged
! that the people whom ho pretenda to
represent should ultimately decide."
British Anxious as
ToU.S.WarldRole
j Speculation in London
j on Separate Peace and
League Participation
From The Tribune's European Bureau
, (Copyright, 1920. Now Tork Tribune Tne.)
LONDON. March 21.-?As a conse
quencc of the Senate's action in re
. fusing to ratify the peace troaty, the
, British people are now curious to know
j whether America will make a separate
I peuce with Germany and Austria,
| whother sho will npply for admission
J to tho league of nations, whether she
will intervene again in European af
I fairs and whether she will accept an
j Entente rclationship with other nations.
British statesinen aro sorely disap
! pointed. They think that tho United
! Statea has lost u wonderful opportu
j nity to use her moral and material
j power for the good of Europe as well
j as for herself, and they believe that,
( despuo tho treaty'a dpfeat in the Sen
; ate, America wi'4 continue to play a
) big part in European affairs. There
is a very real desiro to cooperato with
America to build up better relations
between English-speaking peoples.
Many Englishmen are working hard to
that end.
On the other hand, a certain class is
just as anxious to stir up ill feelinK
and exaggerate the dtfnculties which
have ansen. President Wilson bears
the brunt of the blame, although poli?
tics is considored responsiblo for the
deleat oi the treaty. "Th* Evening
Telegram" says:
"Ituwasi obvious before President Wil?
son felt Paris that he had overstepped
his mandate and that his megalomania
had placed him in a position of antagon
?sm to public opinion in the United
States. The decision of the Senate has
ir ono sense httle to do with the merits
of the treaty. It is really a blow at
the prctentions of the President. It
is a strango commentary oa interna
Painting the Lily
For years folks have struggled to explain to other
folks "the wonderful pow^r of advertising."
Comparisons with electricity, Niagara Falls and
trans-Atlantic flights are frequent, and certainly the
explanations would seem to add mystery to the
power.
Perhaps the difficulty of definition lies in the fact
that advertising is so simple and so neutral.
For example, if Du Po;nt offered a million Cadillacs
atthe price of a Ford,-"the power of advertising"
this fact would probably be said to be stupendous.
But, ?f with the same identical advertising expenditure,
a million Fords were offered at the price of a Cadillac,
that particular application of "the power of adver?
tising" would certainly be termeU an advertising
failure. .
The two campaigns could be as alike as two peas
and yet the results diametrically opposite.
Advertising is a message addressed to many persons
about goods, ideas or service.
Do not confbund the message and the method of
its transmission.
The only " power of advertising " is the power. of
the message it transmits.

Sultan *s Spirit Broken
By Occupation of Capital
Long Line of British Dreadnoughts Typifies Virtual
End of 800 Years of Turkish Rule in Constanti?
nople; People Urged to Disregard Foreigners
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 21 (By
The Associated Press).?That thc me
dieval grandeur of the Sultan's pageant
is an anachronism which mnst pass
is typified by the long line of British
droadnoughts in the Bosporus. Sur
prise is evidenced by most of the
Turks, who refuse to believe that the
spoils belong to the victor.
Mohammcd VI, Sultan of Turkey,
iooked older and more broken than
usual as he made his weekly ride in
state to Mejidieh Jami for his "selam
lik" or official atter.dance at praycrs.
Although the Allied proclamation of
military occupation of Constantinople
declared the Allies' intention to up
hold the Sultan's power provisionally,
the crowds which watched the unhappy
old man emerge from his palace over
looking the picturesque minarets and
towers of Stamboul and the sun-bathed
Bosporus appeared to realize that
800 years of Turkish rule in Constan?
tinople had virtually ended.
The Sultan issued an e^hortation to
his subjocts Friday to pursue their
URual vocations in peace regardlesa
of foreign occupation. Moantime a
British warship was steaming toward
Malta carrying Reouf Bey and many

While working in a shallow well
on the farm of W. Andre, ten

brought up what appeared to be

that the mineral was of good qual?

Much excitement has been cre?
ated by the discovery.
tional sincerity that the very country I
whose President forced us to agree to
ar. unsatisfactory pro-German peace
has now rtpudiated both that, President
and tho peace. For America the Ver?
sailles treaty has become 'a scrap of !
paper.'"
"The Westminster Gazette" says:
"The Senate has again tacked its !
reservations, fifteen in number. to the
peace treaty, and then proceeded to
reject the whole settlement because
there was a sufficient minority opposed
to the reservations. Thus the months
roll by and the United States is still
legally at war with Germany, nor is
there any cortainty that. the deadlock
will end before the Presidential elec?
tion. The American Constitution was
not invented for the efficient handling
of foreign affairs."
Says WilBon Rout Ia Complete
LONDON, Mnrch 21 (By The Associ?
ated Press).?"The London Times," m
ft long editorial on the rejection of the
peace treaty by the United States Sen
ate, says tho "rout of President Wilson
is for the time being complete," anri
expresses fear that the prospect of th?
treaty and league of nations being the
leading issue in the coming campaign
must be accepted.
"It ?s a regrettable prospect for all
the world, and partieularly for our?
selves," says "Tho Times." "Nono the
less, we adhere to the belief, which we
share with Lord Grey, that the Ameri?
can people are unlikeiy in the long run
to withdraw their influence in world
affairs or to bo satisfied with playing
only a small part in the leaguo of na?
tions."
"The Herald," the Labor organ, in
an editorial regrets that the Cnited
States Senate in its refusM to ratify
the treaty missed another greal i.ppor
turity, "because the treaty ladly needs
mending, and the United States could,
until this self-excommunieation, have
demanded and compelled ihe creation
of a real league oi peoples based on
disaxmament and self-determination."
Suffer From United States Callousness
Discussing the rejection of the
treaty by the Senate, "The Daily
Chronicle" says:
"Europe has suffered much from
what has appeared to De the callous?
ness of the United States. For the sat
lsfaction of President Wilson the nego?
tiations were dangerously protracted
and the terms materially altered. But
the very high-handedness which pro?
duced these effects in Europe has es
tranged his compatriots and converted
an international issue into a domestic
quarrel. It is, anyhow. a good thing
0
Constantinople preeeding its occupa?
tion.
The Nationalists charge the Sultan
with treachery, and say he lacks cour
age and patriotism. Thc Sultan's Cab?
inet threatened to resign, but after
several meetings decided to retain of?
fice. Although it is reported the Cham?
ber is prepared to give the new Cab?
inet ii vote of confidence, no meeting
of tho body was held yesterday, most
of its members being in hiding.
That part of Constantinople's for?
eign population which understands the
political situation has little interest
in tne doings of the Sultan, the Cab?
inet or the Chamber,
Tho only government in Turkey
which has any power is believed to be
at Angora (215 miles east-southeast of
Constantinople),
Mustapha Kemal and his committee
have the interior of Asia Minor largely
at their mercy. Whether they will be
detcrrod from action by the Allied
soissure of many of the Nationalist
leaders remains to bo seen. Coumu
pication has been broken with virtunlly
al! of Asiatic Turkey and nothing is
known in Constantinople about condi?
tions there.
The small number of Allied troops
in Turkey has made. it impossible to
afford protection to tho Christian pop?
ulation in the interior, and great un
easiness is felt for welfare workers
in Anatolia nnd Cilicia, as it is feared
the Nationalists will t;Lke- hostages.
that some' deoision, even an adverse
one, has been reached, for the continu
ancc of thc debates served only to en
gender ill feeling against this country
and the Allies."
' Deplores Senate's Action
"Tho Daily News" profoundly de
plores the Senate's action.
"Tho results of America's dissocia
tion from the vast work of rebuilding
tho world," it says, "must bc calami
tous. Her decision will give an inevi- '?
tablo impotus to all the forces of tiis- I
order eyerywhere and will retard the
growth ' and gravely weaken the au-!
thority of that svmhol and instrument!
of international cooperation, of whose !
birth America was beyond any other i
nation the prophet."
Comments on Irlsh Reservation
"The Morning Post," after remarking
that "President Wilson's attempt to i
force tho peaco treaty down the I
throat of the senatorial mule again has!
been unsuceessful" refers to the Irish !
reservation, to which this newspaper'
alone of the mormng journals alfudesJ
"Lincoln," it says, "had some cause to i
complain of British expressions of
sympathy with the South in the Civil
War. Here wo have a case that pretty,
ncprly coinc/les, for tho British gov
ernm< nt stands, if not for union, at:
least for common sovereignty in the
United Kingdom. The unity of these
iyJands under one supreme government:
is a.s important to the British people as;
tho unity of the United States was and
is to to the American people."
Reitcrating its hostility to the lenguo '
of nations and its sympathy with tho
Senate in reiecting the covenant of the
lengue, "The Morning Post" says: "We
can only congratukte the Americans?
with a u-ry face?for having wiser mon

A dispatch to "The London Tlmea"
from Berlin, timed 2:50 o'clock Sunday
morning, says the more truculent of the
Baltic troops still hold various Berlin
barracks. They are torrorizing tho
suburbs and raiding the inner districts
occnsionnlly in armored cars, and
shooting if they are interfcred with.
It is reported that the government in?
tends to bring up South German troops
to enforce their disarmament. On tne
other hand, it is reported that Wolf
gang Kapp's party is still negotiating
with the government regarding am?
nesty and is even demanding one seat
in the Cabinet.
Tho Rotterdam correspondent of
"Tho London Times" sends a Berlin
dispatch, printed there, to the effect
that the agreement concluded between
the trade unions and government par?
ties has not brought about any slack
ening of the tension in Berlin. The
presenco of Baltic troops increases the
confusion. These troops in motoi
cars are still patrolling the streets,
but they are now, however, in the serv?
ice of the government. The people are
not fully aware of this and mistako
them for Baltic vehicles.
Menaced on Two Sides
Berlin feels the menace on two sides
?to the west, the intractable Baltic
troops; to the north, the workers'army.
The latter has broken up the pavement
in the northern suburbs, dug trenches
in the streets and placed machine guns
and bomb throwers in position. ln a
churchyard wall embrasures have been
made, behind which machine guns have
been fixed.
It is feared that when Noske's re?
tention becomes known the workers
will persist in their strike.
A veritable Bolshevik reign of terror
is in progress at Leipsic, according to
dispatches received here by way of
Berne. Pillaging and excesses of all
kinds are reported being carried on by
radicals there, as well as throughout
the industrial ccnters of the Ruhr dis?
trict. The reports declare that peace
able citizens are being waylaid, robbed
and shot in the streets of Leipsic.
The Volkshaus in Leipsic, headquar?
ters of the Communists, capitulated to?
day after a hard fight with the Reichs?
wehr. Five persons are dead, twelve
seriousiy wounded and fifty taken
prisoner by the troops as a result of
the fighting.
Communists Fire City
Conflicts continue in other quarters
of Leipsic. Many parts of the city have
been set on fire bv Communists, who
are hindering the work of thc firemen
with machine-gun fire.
It is reported from the Rhineland
that at least four towns, Dortmund,
Essen, Mulheim and Buer, are gov
erned by soviet councils, and that Com?
munist troops also control Bochum,
Elberfeld, Barmen, Hagen, Iserlohn and
Hottingen. The Essen Communists are
said to number 10,000 well armed work?
ers and troops, and this number is in?
creasing, according to a dispatch to
"The London Times." The Communists
have at their disposal big guns,
armored cars and airplanes. In Essen
bombardments and street combats last
ed more than twenty hours. Several of
the streets are badly demolished and
the casuaities and property damage are
enormous.
A dispatch received by way of Copen
hagen says the fighting for possession
of the Leipsic Volkshaus resulted in
eleven being killed and twenty-three
being wounded. The dispatch adds that
new barricades have be.cn erected in
the town but that independent and
majority Socialists had called upon thc
striking workers to resume work.
Reintorcements are reported from
Stuttgart to be gradually reacning
General von Wattcr, who will command
tne government force of 10,000 men be?
ing concentrated against the "Red"
army that took Essen. Official reports
say that most of the Reichswehr es
caped from Essen, but that some were
captured and disarmed and some shot.
Indications ara that it probably will
be four days henco before General von
Watter will be ready to begin his cam?
paign.
Reports from Mannheini say the
bridges on the south side of the Neckar
River have been closed to prevent the
spread of unrest that has appeared in
the factories of Mannheim and the
suburbs. The workmen are said to
have been showing passive resistance,
such as greatly lowered production, to
enforce their demands for increased
power for their workmen's councils.
Thus far there has been no disorder,
but precautionary measures are being
taken by the military officials.
Thc city of Nuremberg has ended
its five days' paralysis, which was
marked by civil warfare, rioting and
an attempt by Bolshevism to rush the
public places and control the town, says
another dispatch from Stuttgart. Tele?
phone messages from Nuremberg to
Stuttgart conveyed this information as
well as details of the uprising.
The ?treetcar service was resumed
yesterday, the workers returning to the
factories and thc stores reopening.
The casuaities during the five "Red"
days have not been tabulated, but they
are heavy.
The outbreak began last Monday
morning, when a general sympathetic
strike was proclaimed in protestation
again Dr. Kapp, the nsurping Chan?
cellor. Thousands jomsd the strike,
and on Tuesday delegations made the
rounds and ordered the stores closed.
Some remained open, however, and
employees attempting to carry on busi?
ness were severely handled.
Sailors Attack Postoffice
On Wednesday a group of sailors
armed with rifles and fixed bayonets,
although the rifles were without locks
and thereforo unable to fire, seized two
automobiles, and after proceeding
through the city tried to rush the post?
office, where it was known 13,000,000
marks of government money was
stored.
Another group meanwhile tried to
seize the station near by. Reichswehr
troops came up hastily and beat off the
attacks, killing twenty and woundmg
sixty others. , .
Trouble started in the stockysrds
Thun:<!iy. There was little bloodshed
on ilV.lay, und tho Roichswehr and
Citiaena' Guards rcgained control of
tiio city. The men began to go back to
work to-day, the situation is approach?
ing normai and industries are begin?
ning to i'unction.
Sharp fighting occurred in Berlin
Friday night between some of thc
Baltic troops and new police, in which
many persons were killed or wounded,
according to a message from tho capi?
tal to Stuttfcart.
Although the general strike hns been
called off, the message says, the work?
men are showing reluctance to return
to work. They are demanding at least
a day's pay for time lost, recalling that
it was the government who called tho
strike.

room of the House of Lords to-morrow
under the leadership of Albert Thomas,;
director general of the international
labor organization, who will present a
plan for organizing the governing body
and for providing its budget.
The League of Nations covenant
charges the international labor office
with the duty of collecting and dis?
tributing a vast amount of information
besides preparing the memoranda for
the annual conference. Until the home
of tho league is definitely established
the labor office will function in London.
The meeting is expecced to decide what
the laborites will do with regard to
Russia. It will discuss the invitation
of the League of Nations Council to
send two representatives with the com?
mission the council is sending to Russia.
Mr. Thomas has stated that the labor
body may accept the invitation in order
to gain political information, and also
send a commission of its own as at
first planned, or that it may do neither.
He pointed out that thc labor office i3
in possession of the most comprehen
sive reports on soeial conditions in
Russia in existence and' that an exam
ination of them may possibly negative
the necessity for sending a commission.
In a statement to-day Mr. Thomas said
that he deeply regretted the absence
from the labor body of the United
States, whose place has been taken by
| a Danish delegate to maintain the
official organization of twelve govern
, ment representatives and six represen
| tatives each from the employers and
j workers.
The meetings will be cxecutive, but
j Mr. Thomas has promised that thc
| public will be fully informed on what
transpires through cornmuniques.

Democrats
Fight Wilson
Treaty Plank
Continued from pape ons
followed tho Wilson-IIitchcock leader?
ship until the final vote, but it is by
no means certain that either will con?
ti ol thc Texas delegation to the con?
vention. Ex-Senator Bailey is fighting*.
to control it, and Mr. Bailey's friends
here say that if he sucr eds President
Wilson will get no support from the
Lone Star delegation for his efforts to
control the convention.
Conversations between Senators who
have been put on the anxious bencb
by following their own conviction that
a modified peace treaty and league of
nations is better than no treaty and
no league havo tended to Bhow a
p-rent deal of unanimity in the deter
rnination to fight against the possibil?
ity of the convention following the
President blindly on tho treaty fight.
One Senator from a Western state
went so far as to declare that every
Senator, who was placed in this posi?
tion already had written friends in
his state asking for aid in controlling
the delegates so far as the treaty
plank is concerned.
A canvass to-night showed that a
great many had, though obviously no
Senator wanted to admit it for pub?
lication, appealed to the political
leaders in his state for aid in con?
trolling the delegation against some?
thing which the President might want.
Incidcntally, there is interest in the
question of whether the President
would now be able to force his own
renomination if he desired it. There
is still a very general impression that
he can do so, but if the movement
just started, probably the most deter?
mined revoit against his leadership
ever made within the Democratic
party since 1912 should grow, :t
might easily bring about a situation
where the President might not be able
to force his own nomination.

Germany Demands Large
Area of Schleswig Zone
Note to Plebiscite Commission
Also Asks for Town of
Tondern
COPENHAGEN, March 21.?The Ger
man government has presented a note
to the plebiscite commission demanding
a frontier line which would leave a large
section of the first Schleswig zone to
Germany, according to the "National
Tidende." Germany claims certain ter?
ritory as belonging to Flensburgs hin?
terland. Germany asks also for the
iown of Tondern, where. in the receni
elections, the majority of votes east
favored adhesion to Germany, offering
to make Denmark eonsiderable economic
conce.ssions.
Since the recent plebiscite in the sec?
ond Schleswig zone, Danish chauvinists
have kept up a r.oisy agitation in favor
of Flensburg becoming Danish, in spite
of the overwhelming German vote there.
This agitation probably is meant to
bring pressure on the international com
mission's decision, but the commission
has now asked that ail Schleswig agita?
tors return to Schleswig immediately.

Americans Seek Goods
Sold by U. S. to Norway
CHRISTIANIA, Norway, March 20.
American representatives are trying to
repur-hase dry goods ar.d wearing ap?
parel brought from the I'nited States
from 1918 to 1020, for rc" xport to the
United States, as thc r r ces of these
commodities are 50 per cent lower than
those now prevailing in the American
markets. Immediately after the war
Norway was flooded with American dry
goods and wearing apparel, and Nor?
wegian firms placed large orders in
America for futher delivery.
The Norwegian.jymbargo now in force
prohibits such exports as demanded by
the American representatives. Much of
the American goods bought by Nor?
wegian firms. but not yet .-hipped from
the I'nited States, has been resold to
Americans there, iiS the high doUar
rate prevents its marketing here. The
American export market for Norwav is
practically closed, as the Norwegians
are now unable to buy American goods
because cf tlie unfavorabie rate of ex?
change.
