CopunaM, 101", by Xew York Times Co.
lnniv, June 2S
(icnnan pinteFts against the alleged
breakings of the peace treaty are be
coming more and more frequent and
nusslan newspapers have declared In
,ne dearest manner that the Soviet
uov eminent, wnue anxious to keep
peace, will be unable to do so If the Ger
mans make more demands.
It Is perfectly clear that sooner or
later the workman, who. In the mean
while Is making every effort to strength
en himself, will be forced In self-defense
to strike again. Germanj's best
hope, If she wishes to avoid further con
flict with the revolution, lies further
east, where the possible cutting off of
Siberian resources from Russia would
probably lesult In a collapse of the
Soviet Government.
1-as.t night at a conference of military
commissaries, Trotsky spoke of the task
of creating a new army. He reminded
the conference that volunteer expedi
tions of the best workmen and peasants
had successfully put down every treach
erous movement organized by counter
revolutionaries from within, but they
were without physical and technical
strength to struggle with the better or
ganized and equipped troops of a for
eign counter-revolution.
There was a general recognition of
the need of a strong army and of the
difficulties In creating It. Civil wars
had added to the already existing diffi
culties of transport and food.
With regaed to conscrlptloos Trotsky
said: "Voluntary recruiting is a tem
porary compromise forced upon U3 In a
critical peril of the complete collapse of
the old army and the Increased violence
of civil war."
It fcas recognized, he said, that, be
sides the best men, voluntary recruiting
had drawn Into the army many undesir
able elements. Conscription by bring
ing all workmen will make tnls unde
sirable elements an Insignificant mi
nority. He further spoke of the need of
using experienced officers, due to the
fact that there were so few such per
sons In the actual revolutionary class,
which, however, would control the po
litical, but not' the military actions, of
these commanders through the commis
saries Generals, etc., would answer
with their heads for the success and
e31clency of their operations as In other
countries, but would not be allowed to
use their positions for political action
against the workmen's and peasants'
gov ernment.

American Violation of Prin

Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger

The Hague, June 28.
The Cologne Gazette aBserts that
America, which Is a most ardent fighter
for the Monroe Doctrine, Is getting very
busy in regard to territory in Africa,
where Germany has great Interests, es
pecially Blnce Doctor Solf, the colonial
minister, advocated the rounding out of
U policy for a central Africa colonial
empire, which has met with applause
throughout Germany and Is supported by
all parties.
The paper says that a most Important
question for Germany Is Involved In
these -colonies, namely, the procuring of
the raw materials necessary for German.
Industries. It remarks that the most Im
portant point of contact in the central
African colony which is being "fought
for will have to be part of the west
African Portuguese colony of Angola and
the Belgian Congo. It Is just at this
particular sp&t, the Gazette says, that
America has had a mission since 1899.
The Gazette asserts that American
missionaries went to work In Hawaii to
counteract German Influence "most un
scrupulously," and that during the war
new missionaries have been active In
Africa. It says that Professor Hans
Meyer, In his book about the Portu
guese colonies, calls attention to an
American mining company north of
Loanda. ,a petroleum company and the
Bast Angola diamond mines. These
mines -will nattu-ally bring commerce and
trade. It continues, of which Americans
will reap the advantage, and the mis
sion Is on that very spot, so that Influ
ence en the natives, which Is so Impor
tant a factor In a new country, will He
in the enemy's hands.
The paper also says that since 1915
American steamers which formerly sailed
from New York to Liberia and Nigeria
now call at these ports. America, It al
leges, has picked out poor little Portugal
as a sacrifice.
"Anyway," the Gazette says, "we must
pay great attention to American expan
sion in' Central Africa."
The Kbelntsche IGazette says that.
President Wilson Is Clemenceau's very
last trump and last hope. Every word
which falls from Wilson's mouth and
every mission which Wlleon sends over
or cables about. It says, receives the
greatest attention In L'Homme Libre and
"thick" headlines. There Is hardly a
day's paper. It alleges. In which there
is not a leading article on the form of a
magnificat or hymn to- Wilson. "Wilson

young American s-oldier who
took part In Wednesday's fighting north
of Belleau wood. And he had a. terrible
grouch as he, told me his troubles. He
was afraid that the war would be over
before he could get back into It. since
he had had the 111 luck of being wounded
just when he was getting really Inter

morning this lad c,f nineteen, who Is a

their rifles busy. One by ono his men

ing, where he got five Germans covered
They threw down their rifles, held up
their hands and yelled "Kamerad !"
Wounded, but raptor
The American vouth kept his rifle on
them and advanced, when a sniper got fifteen minutes later, with the aid of re

with his left hand and kept on going
Then the sniper wountfed him in the left
leg. That did not halt him He forced
the Germans to disarm, then he directed
them to make an Improvised litter for
him
Pressing his automatic Into the back
of one of the Germans, the sergeant or
dered them to carry him back to his
post command. Down through woods,
swept by machine-gun fire, down a road,
across a field, and then to his post com
mand his captured litter-bearers took
him. Then he was put Into an ambu
lance an taken, to the rear.
After his wounds had been dressed
at a field hospital, he was completely
disgusted when told that he had to go
to a base hospital for a long time. He
was still aggrieved when he said to me.
"Hell, the war will be over before I
get back" I would like to give this
brave lad's name, but the censorship
rules forbid until after the War De
partment notifies his family that he Is
wounded, which will be from ten days
to two weeks.
For Individual accomplishments In tho
way of bagging Germans, the palm for
Wednesday's fighting goes to Private
Frank P. Lenert, who halls from Chi

by Germans about 3 o'clock In the
morning Seeing that he was alone, he
thought It best to call off the fighting
for a bit.

captors were seventy-eight privates and
five officers. They showed great In

were in the attacking party Lenert

The Germans knew the American bar
rage behind them had cut off their re

so many Americans were coming It was
useless for them to fight longer, and

At just 5 o'clock he reached his head

"No wonder these boches believe the

Lenert.
As the soldiers come out of the fight
many tales of heroism are being told.

One Piusslan youngster, when asked If

that he had had nothing to eat for three

FOOD SHORTAGE
GRIPS FINLAND
Imports Cut in Half Bread
Ration One-third Amount
Necessary
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copyright, JPM, bu'Stw York Times Co.
lleUlngford, June 28 (via Copenhagen),
An official communication states that
the food situation In Finland Is more
threatening than ever, though It was
known before that conditions would be
serious. A Government report gives a
picture of the causes and extent ot suf
fering which Is worth attention.
From 19J4 to 1917 the average Imports
of Finland were 135,000,000 kilograms
less than In normal years. In the sum
mer of 1917, when almost nothing was
left, the Senate bought 60,000.000 kilo
grams from the United States and Can
ada and contracted for as much from
Kerensky's government In Russia.
The Imports first mentioned depended
upon England, which hesitated tn Its de
cision, and the Russian Government, un
able to fulfill Its promises on account of
growing disorganization, delivered only
13,000,000 kilograms. Thus. In 19t7,
there were Imported 216,600,000 kilo
grams less than In 1913, and Finland's
own crop was 40,000.000 kilograms less
than usual on account of a frost on July
7. All told, It was only half the amount
of normal years.
To prevent famine, the Government In
the fall of 1917 seized all oats for bread
making. But calculations were over
thrown by the Bolshevist rebellion.
When, after three months of fighting, the
danger to law and order In Finland
passed, the stock of provisions was de
stroyed. In the last part of the war, the
report says, "the wild Bolshevist troops
devastated, robbed and plundered the Ir
reparable grain supplies."
During the rebellion rations In north
ern Finland and later In the south were
put down to seventy-five grams a day
and for those performing hard labor 125
grams. Including all bread, flour and
grain.
The shortage of provisions has been
growing steadily during the war, tho cat
tle have diminished, as the Russian army
from the beginning of the war took as
much meat as was used for all civilians.
Fresh and salt meat, fish, butter and
sugar now permissible for tho use of
each person dally nmount to only 740
calories of food value, with bread one-
third of the amount needed for a grown
person. Of this, the allowance of about
100 grams of flour will disappear If no
help arrives.
Already 1,600,000 persons are getting
food through the State and are drifting
toward starvation. This number will
grow by July 1 to 1,700.000 and by
August 1 to 1.900.000. By September IB
17,000,000 kilograms offraln will be
needed, which cannot be covered by
other supplies of the country Itself.
There Is needed a bread allowance In
crease of "(O.OOO.OOO kilograms, which Is
very Important on account of the lack of
potatoes. Kven then, each perRon will
get only half the normal requirements.
