ENGLAND'S EYE ON TRADE
TJcIgium Demands First Lien on As

Greece FJpirus and Thrace.
PARIS. Feb. 2. (By the Associated
Press.) The delegates of the five great
rowers are now, in a position to com
pare clearly their own aspirations and
those of all their allied friends, and to
see the differences that must be rec
onciled. The maximum of hopes, often over
lapping, has been told freely, and it
' remains for the peace conference to ad
just them into a co-ordinated whole.
The desires of the several countries
as presented may be compressed thus:
France Desirca Territory'.
France wants, first of all, Alsace
Iorraine unconditionally, and the right
to discuss and ultimately to fix the
French frontiers in their relation to
the Rhine, which may require the cre
ation of buffer states. One of these
would be the Palatinate and another
Rhenish Prussia. France also desires
to annex the basin of the Saare River,
which might be called a r? annexation.
France will insist that, so far as
the left bank of the Rhine further to
the north is concerned, the conference
ehould forbid military works of any
kind barracks, bridgeheads, forts and
fortresses in that zone. The feeling is
that the people inhabiting that zone
should be free to decide for themselves
whether they wish to join France,
form an independent state or return to
Uermany.
Reparation Bill Large.
The French bill for reparation Is not
yet complete, but it has been announced
in the Chamber of Deputies that it will
4e about 66,000,000,000 francs.
The French government does not ask
t.r a. protectorate In Syria in the or
dinary sense, because It considers that
the population there is too advanced
to make a protectorate necessary, but
France, on account of traditional in
terests in that country, feels that she
should be called upon to exercise some
sort of guardianship or guidance until
Syria should be fully able to govern
herself.
Britain for Freedom of Trade.
Great Britain's delegation believes
th"at a society of nations is desirable
and obtainable, and that it must be
established by the present peace con
ference. She advances no continental
purpose other than those of a perma
nent and Just peace on the principle
of self-determination and that there
t-hall be international freedom of tran
sit by railroads and waterways, which
is Britain's general definition of free
dom of commerce in times of peaom
Britain will take mandatory power
over the German islands south of the
fnuator for Aiistraliji nn1 ovoc South- !
west Africa for the Union of
SOUtll I
,A frira. She will alao have the mandate I
of German East Africa and some parts!
f Arabia and she has particular claims
in this respect over Mesopotamia. Great I
Jiritain will enter a pool with the other
pllies in the matter of indemnities,
especially reparation for air raids dam
ages and shipping losses.
Italy Han Many CLains.
Italy asks for the Trentino as far
ps the Brenner Pass, including the
v hole of Southern Tyrol; Trieste, Is- !
ttia, Fiume, Zara, Sebenico, the larger
part of the Dalmatian Islands, Avlona
jiinl its hinterland, a protectorate over
.Albania, possession of the islands in
tlie Aegean which were taken from
'Turkey during the Tripolitan war, and
the province of Adalia, if France and
Kngland should take territory in Asia
?! inor.
The Italian contention is that the
Ialmatian Islands and such parts of
the Dalmatian Coast as arc not as
signed to Italy shall be neutralized,
fc-hould France and England extend
their colonial possessions In Africa,
Italy desires to enlarge her possessions
in Eritrea and Tripoli.
Roomnnian Problems Difficult.
Territorial connections in the Balkans
lire complicated and present difficult
problems. Roumania desires to retain
loasession of that portion of Russian
l-lessarabia given her by the central
jiowt-rs under tho canceled treaty of
lHicharcst and now in her possession.
Koumania also desires southern Do-
rudja. as ceded to her by Bulgaria
lifter the second Balkan war. Posses-fri-jii
of Bessarabia and the Dobrudja
commands tlie mouth of the Danube.
To the westward Roumania wants to
muiex the Jlapwburg provinces of Bu
3o ina and Transylvania and a consid
erable part of the rich agricultural
'strict of Banat. It is here that the
Jiowmanian aspirations conflict with
tliouc of Serbia, which affirm that un
tlcr her war agreements with the en
tente. Serbia should have a large por
tion of Banat as well as other sections
of forimr Austria-Hungary adjoining
tld Serbia to the north to round out
t!ic proposed Jutw-Slav state. Both
J'oumania and Serbia have moved
t i-oopn into Panat to secure their claims
Many Persons Reported Killed in
Former Russian Capital and
Disorder Is General.
STOCKHOLM, Feb. 2. Petrograd ha.3
been bombarded by Kronstadt artillery
and many persons have been killed,
according- to travelers who are quoted
to this effect by the Finnish papers

trograd. The great fortress of Kronstadt lies

the head of the Gulf of Finland.
The Bolsheviki forces were reported

Helsingfors to be evacuating' Petro
grad and removing all their stores. The

ters to Nizhni-Novgorod.
FAST SHIP WINS HONORS

Record for War Transport. .
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb. 2. The steamship Great
Northern, which with the sister ship,
Northern Pacific, plied as a passenger
ship for several years between the
mouth of the Columbia River and San
Francisco, has come out of the war
with distinguished honors.
This ship established the speed rec
ord for the war by making the round
trip from Ne-jv York to Brest in 14
days with a stop of 2S hours in the
French port. As a troopship it made
11 trips to Europe, carrying more than

It has recently been overhauled and
equipped for carrying wounded and
ill soldiers.

BERLIN, via Copenhagen, Feb. 2.
(Special.) The Ukraine is in imminent
danger of falling under the complete
domination of the Moscow Bolsheviki
and can only be saved by rapid action
on the part of the entente. Entente
troops might have, at any time in the
past two months entered Kiev and have
held this additional bulwark against
Bolshevism. Even the Germans in Kiev
arranged for the entente to relieve
them and if desired by the entente, to
form a joint army.
The understanding was reached a
month ago between the German diplo
matic representative. Count Berkheim.
and the. French diplomatic agent, M.
Hanno, who went to Kiev from Odessa,
but with no troops coming, the Ger
mans also were forced to leave, help
ing thousands of Russians to escape
with them.
Russian Emigrn Given Situation.
The Ukraine now under the Petlura
direction is still fighting off the Bol
sheviki. The situation is so compli
cated that I asked the Due de Leucht
enberg, the best informed of the Rus
sian emigres arriving here, to give a
picture of it, comprehensible to the out
side world. Although a cousin of the
late Czar, the Due de Leuchtenberg is
not prejudiced by his monar'chial con
nections and for two hours he ex
plained the violent cross-currents of
politics in the Ukraine which can be
thus summarized:
"The Ukranian movement is Aus
trian, made with he purpose to become
an ally of Austria in the breaking up of
Russia ' following the Bolshevik suc
cess. The Rada, which sought a sepa
rate peace with Germany at Brest
Litovsk and which invited the Germans
into the Ukraine is not representative
Ukranian. but was controlled by the
energetic action of the violent radicals
within it. The language as instituted
is not realy the Ukranian dialect, but
a sort of Russian esperanto which made
endess confusion.

ing been invited by this representative

Ceremony Hastily' Arranged When
Physicians Tell Bridegroom of
His Serious Condition.
While awaiting death, which physi-,
cians declared inevitable. Charles G.
Watson, an employe of the Oregon
Washington Railway & Navigation
Company line, was married to Miss Ag
nes G. Gilbrith, of The Dalles, the mar
riage being the clumination of a rom
ance which had extended over 10 years.
Mr. Watson died from influenza one
hour following the wedding.
Mr. Watson became ill about one
week ago, and Saturday when his con
dition became alarming Miss Gilbrith
was called to his home at 247',s Dixon
street. At noon yesterday Drs. A. G.
idd and F. M. Taylor, after consultation,
opined that the patient would not re
cover. Mr. Watson was told of his condition
and an immediate marriage was his
suggestion. Miss Gilbrith readily as
sented and Rev. R. H. Sawyer, pastor
of the East Side Christian Church was
called and requested to make prepara
tions for the marriage.
County Clerk Beveridge was told of
the unusual circumstances surrounding
the proposed wedding, with a result
that he hastened to the Courthouse
and prepared the license for the couple.
At 4- o'clock yesterday afternoon,
with relatives gathered about the bed
side of the sick man as witnesses, the
marriage ceremony was performed. Just
one hour after the simple but impres
sive rites had been completed the
bridegroom breathed his last.
Mr. Watson vnns 33 years old and
had been a resident of ortland for
about eight years. He was employed as
a locomotive engineer for the Oregon
Washington Railway & Navigation
Company and met his wife in The
Dalles about 10 years ago.

COBLENZ. Feb.U (Special.) An in
vestigation into the social and eco
nomic conditions in the occupied area
yields complete Justification to the wise
broad-minded American policy of per
mitting the natives to enjoy the maxi
mum of possible freedom and the mini
mum of restrictions at the fame time.
The conditions today are a striking
tribute to Major-General Dickman. his
Lstaff and every member of the Army
of occupation, for their efficient com
mon sense in carrying out the liberal
American policy.
One outstanding feature is that eco
nomic conditions continue to improve in
the American area as a direct result
of the population being permitted to
circulate freely, with no other pass
than an identification card.
Raalir.i Function lahimprrtd.
As a result business within the area
functions virtually unhampered and is
fast returning toward normal, while
much new business is reported as orig
inating within the area offered by our
troops. The fact that the doughboys
are liberal ependeiv and the German
tradesmen are making a strong bid for
American military trade, is also a fac
tor in the increasing prosperity
throughout the American area.

principal complaint of the natives is

With War Knicrgency Passed, lc-

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. Dutch ships!
requisitioned by the American Govern-1
ment during the war and now operated
by the Shipping Board will be uncon
ditionally returned to Holland as rapid
ly as they reach American ports at the
conclusion of their present voyage.
This announcement was made today by
the War Trade Board, which" has
reached an agreement on the svrbject
with the Shipping Board.
The Dutch ships were seized in
American ports laut March 20 by order
of President Wilson, acting in the war
emergency. There were &7 of the ves
sels with an aggregate of 139. 000
deadweight tons, but several were de
stroyed by enemy action or etorms
while in tlie service of the United
States.
Under the agreement with the Dutch
ship owners, vessels destroyed were
to be replaced by moi ey or ships at
the option of the Dutch owners and
liberal rates fur their use were al
lowed. Today's announcement said the re
lease of the craft had been decided
upon because the war emergency had
passed and because of the desire to
return ships and trade to normal chan
nels as quickly as possible.
Return of these vessels mill mark
the conclusion of protracted discussion
and procedure relating to the question
which began soon after the United
States entered the war.
