The supicme economic council met at
JO n. m.. on April 2S. underthc chair
manship of T.orcl Ilobeit Cecil.
"Concerning Oerinnn tishing in the
Hkagerrak and Cnttegat the council Tas
advised that, after its action at the
last meeting upon the German icqueat
for permission to fish in those -waters,
the navnl armistice authorities have re
moved restrictions as to the Cattegat
nnd lmvo cTteniled (lie North sea limits
so as to permit the Herman fishermen
lo make use ot a passage irec 01 imuca
to and from the secrnl fishing nreas.
"It wns reported to the council thai
the blockade section lias taken appro
priate steps to ghc effect to the decision
of the council that the rationing legu
latlons established during the war vith
respect to the impoitation of commodi
ties into the northern neutral countries
and Switzerland be suspended. In con
sequence hereafter all commodities other
than a specified list of war mntciinl may
be imported into those countries without
restriction on quantity. It hns also been
decided that shipments of foodstufts
from the countries in question to Ger
many may be made without the ie
cuircment previouslv existing that each
shipment reccie the approval of the
inter-Allied trade committee in the re
spective countries.
"To facilitate commerce and the for
warding of relief supplies, the council
agreed to the recommendation of the
blockade section that hereafter ship
ment may be made through Germany of
all commodities except unfinished muni
tions of war, piovided the shipments nie
covered by n license of an inter-Allied
trade, committee, or where no suth
committee exists, by a license from the
lelief administration.
"The council considered the im
portant question of facilitating com
mercial and relief trafhc on the UanMbe
liver, but deferred final action in older
to permit the further study of the sev
eral methods of regulation which were
proposed.
"In pursuance of Us plans of im
pioving coal production and distribution
to meet the pieseiit general deficit in the
Kuropenn coal supply, the council de
cided that the dhector general of relief
should for the piesent be charged with
all matters in an endeavor to increase
the coal production in the former empire
of Austria-Huugary and Poland. The
diicctor geneial of relief is to work
through the mission of the communica
tions tection of the council, which is
charged with the operation of through
lailroad services for the distribution of
food supplies in the territories in question."

HUMAN BONES FOUND
IN MYSTERIOUS VILLA
Gruesome Discovery Said to Be
Connected Vyith Disappear
ance of French Women
Paris, April 30. (By A. P.) A
search by i magistrate nnd police au
thorities of the villa of Henri Lnndru
at Cnmbaix. a suburb of Paris, from
which the disappearance of a number
of women led some time ago to the
arrest of T.andru, has resulted in the
finding in the carriage house nt the end
of the garden an enormous heap of
fdnders.
Among the cinders, according to the
authorities, were calcined bones, pieces
of ribs, tibias, arm bones, one tooth,
a fragment of melted glass and one hair
pin. The landlord of the villa is to be
questioned by the authorities today as
to whether Landru is in any way con
nected with their discovery.
It is asserted that in the cellar, which
is cemented, large blood stains, cov
ered with sand, were found.
A dispatch from Paris April 15 said
the disappearance of number of women
who had been seen to enter the villa
occupied by Landru, but who had not
been seen to leave the place, hod brought
about the arrest of Landru, who was
' to be requested to aid in solving the
mystery of their continued absence from
their homes. -The missing women were
acquaintances of Landru's, who was de
clared to have made a specialty' of be
coming engaged to widows. The police
asserted at the time that from papers
found in Landru's possession they be
lieved ho had had at least ten fiancees
who coma not be found.
