BERL.IX. March 4. (Correspondence
lilted Press.) A picture ol
Tr, fnmnletelv reorganized, with
r,.rmanT and her allies dominating
l- i.vutTip- uDon "their
fallen rivals a tribute of from 120 to
ISO milliards of marks, is drawn by
Rudolph Martin, former Minister of the
Interior of Germany, In a pamphlet
. . . i rr, T t'nrl "
entitled ine worm r buu
just Issued.
The huge indemnity which the au
. i v-i;-,,-. will he demanded by Get
many when she dictates peace terms
in London after two years' fighting, is
estimated on the oasis oi war coma
30 milliards of marks to be sustained
by Germany, Austria and Turkey, in the
proportion of 16. 10 and 4. respectively.
As Germany at me cnu ui e ,
i i n nr mnrie the French pay
two and one-half times what it cost
to conduct the conflict, so, the writer
believes. Germany will make the allies
pay similarly at the end oi me presem
war In addition, 75 milliards will be
demanded for the support of depend
ents of those Kiuea.
t'oatrol of Channel Predicted.
The writer sees Germany firmly es
tablished along the present French
coast in a position to control both Lon
don and Paris, and possessed of an air
fleet of many thousands of machines
and 20.000 airmen. He sees England
forced to consent to the construction of
a tunnel under the English Channel,
equipped with four railway tracks and
an automombile roadway, at both ends
of which the German forces are in
control.
Kussia he pictures as completely dis
membered, its territory . divided up
among neighboring powers, its coffers
depleted to the point of bankruptcy,
its menace to the German Empire for
ever gone. In the process of dismember
ment he predicts the organization of
new states.
Sweden, the author believes, will re
ceive Finland: Germany the Baltic
provinces and Poland; AustrUwill take
the entire south of Russia, including
Kiev and Odessa; Turkey will receive
the entire Caucasus, including the gov
ernment of Saratow; Russia will have
to retire both from the Baltic, the
Black and the Caspian seas.
Rewards to 'Be Made Lavishly.
Serbia is to go to Austria-Hungary;
Egypt to Turkey; a part of Arabia to
Roumania, provided the latter allies
itself sincerely with Germany, Austria
and Turkey; and every other state
which similarly joins this group will
be properly rewarded.
Not only does Alsace-Lorraine re
main German, but Betfort is to Join it
once more as a German possession. Bel
glum not only becomes German along
with the Congo, but is to pay an in
demnity of six and one-quarter mil
liards of francs within a few years oC
the close of the war.
Regarding the disposition of the co
lonial possessions of the allies, the
writer goes into little detail, beyond
stipulating that England and France
must lose Egypt. India. Algiers. Tunis
and Aiorocco as penalty for inducing
their inhabitants to bear arms against
Germany.
The Sues Canal the writer sees per
manently in the hands of "our ally.
Turkey." After the conclusion of peace,
he hopes. English ships, instead of
longer paying tolls Into the pocket of
the English-owned Suez Canal Com
pany, will have to pay them to "our
ally, Turkey."
Electorate to Be Limited.
Though Germany's territory will be
greatly increased In Europe, it must
be laid down as a basic principle, in
the writer's opinion, that the electorate
eligible to choose the membership of
the controlling Reichstag must be con
fined to the old boundaries.
Newly acquired Russian Poland, with
its own Legislature in Warsaw, may
-perhaps become an adjunct kingdom,
with Prince August William of Prus
sia as ruler. The Belgians, he believes,
may also form a kingdom and govern
themselves The acquired Baltic prov
inces, as well as the territory taken
from France, can, he thinks, without
harm have their own parliaments and
live under the direction of an imperial
gover nor-seneral.
He would establish as one of the most
important basic principles of the gov
ernments of the conquered provinces
that every young man who, according
to the rules laid down in the German
Empire, is capable of bearing arms,
shall serve in the army. For the Pole
he suggests service in Erfurt, and for
the Frenchman from Calais or Belfort.
as well as the Belgian, service in Ba
Taria or Wurtemburg.
Britain to Be Invaded.
Early in his pamphlet the writer
voices the expression that England
must be invaded and London conquered
before the Germans can have been con
sidered winners and masters of the sit
uation. No occupation of Palis or of
Moscow alone can accomplish this end.
The writer, suggesting that several
German army corps will have to be
maintained both in England and in
France for a period of from five to
ten years at the expense of the coun
tries defeated, thinks that tne necessity
must be faced of guarding the English
entrance to the tunnel.
llerr Martin, who for lon;f has been
an earnest advocate of the airship as an
adjunct to military operations, outlines
extensive plans for its future use. In
France, he says, the German line must
be. drawn so as to include the cities of
Boulogne. Rhelms and Belfort. so that
an aeroplane can with ease reach Paris
within an hour. Since an extensive t-ase
for the operations for the 40.000 fliers
he believes are needed is required. Ger
many needs much territory near the
French capital.

Xeeded Apparatus Indus
trial Year Planned.
The formal opening of the garden
and industrial programme of the
Brooklyn School was held yesterday
under the auspices of the Brooklyn
Parent-Teacher Circle and under the
direction of Principal Gary. Without
a programme work on the vacant" quar
ter block at East Tenth and Tibbets
streets was started.
It is planned to raise garden stuff on
several acres of vacant lots and blocks
in the district. Canning by steam
heating process will be done probably
in the basement of the school by tfc
I Can Can Club and the Kanika Club.
The gr,-dening will be done by the sev
eral Aidustriol boys' clubs tnat nave
ben orsanized. Other clubs are: The
an.:.- Brooklyn Boys' Industrial Club.
iiss Irene Lewis is president of the
I Can Can Club and Miss Louise Jones
heads the Kanikan Club. The indus
trial clubs have not yet elected offi
cers, but they otherwise are well or
ganized, and eager to start on the gar
dens. So far the school has secured
between 14 and 20 vacant lots for cul
tivation and more will be found later.
Nearly 150 pupils are enrolled in the
clubs.
Principal Gary is chairman of the
neighborhood "City-Beautiful" com
mittee, and plans to unite the indus
trial features of the club organiza
tions with the movement to clean up
the Brooklyn neighborhood. Residents
will be encouraged to co-operate with
the school. Already the girls have
nearly $50 in advance orders for the
canned vegetables. They have the
privilege to draw on the subscriptions
for the money with which to purchase
the apparatus and jars needed.
The boys of the industrial clubs not
only will cultivate the gardens, but will
engage in any other work they can
find to do on Saturdays and during va
cation. Mr. Gary plans to assist the
boys in finding jobs to earn money
through their own efforts.

WOODMWS MAY LOSE GARDENS
School Board Willing to Pay Taxes,
but No More, for Use of Ground.
Unless Henry J. Schulderman, owner
of the lots on which the Woodlawn
School children have been planting
their gardens, allows the School
Board to use the ground for payment
of the taxes, there will be no garden
at the Woodlawn School this year. For
three years the children of this school
have captured first prize for their
products.
Last year the taxes, which were $150,
were paid by the School Board, and the
Board was allowed the use of the
ground.
The year previous taxes amounting
to $140 also were paid by the Board.
This year Mr. Schulderman asks $250
for the use of the lots, the taxes being
$130.
The Board has signified its willing
ness to pay the taxes, but says it can
not pay the amount demanded, which
It considers exorbitant.
-The seeds ordinarily cost from $75
to $100, according to C. M. Stafford,
principal of the school. He declares
that they will cost even more this
year, as the children are anxious to
work with the city beautiful commit
tee of the Rose Festival Association in
doing their share toward making
Portland more attractive. Special at
tention was to have been given to flow
ers this year.
"The garden will be dispensed with
this year unless Mr. Schulderman
changes his mind," said Mr. Stafford.
"His property is the only place suit
able for a garden. The other places
near the school are too rocky. The
children and teachers are both anxious
to begin work on the garden, and it is
looped that we can make satisfactory
arrangements with Mr. Schulderman so
that they can begin at once."

that he ran away from his parents at
