CUT FROM GERMANY
Result of New Allied Occu
pation Is Studied.
NO SOLUTION YET SEEN
Half of Bisscst Manufacturing
District Is Placed Outside
of Nation's Boundary.
(Copyright by the Knr York World. Pub
llshfd by Arranircmpnt.)
L'KHLIN, March 20. (Special Cable.)
The Uerman national economic coun
cil, the economic committee of the
leichstag, the united Ithenish West
phalian chamber of commerce and in
numerable other official and indus
trial bodies have been studying all
week what will be the result of the
new allied occupation and the cus
toms boundary.
An the problem involves the most
Intricate manufacturing district in
the world, with highly specialized
factories on both sides of the new
line of demarcation, the problems pre
sented have not been solved so far.
The result of the united conferences
has inevitably brought German in
dustry back to the same point, from
Which it can see no escape.
rvr Harrier Kntabllhcd
Raising the new frontier places the
Rhine provinces and half of the big
gest German industrial district out
Bide of Germany. When the custom
frontier is erected the factories and
business concerns in the occupied por
tion of Germany also will become a
market for foreign products. As the
entente powers are now in the posi
tion to control the importation of
their products to advantage, they can
remove import duties which formerly
prevented the introduction of allied
products when they competed with
the. Germans.
The change of the German customs
frontier from the old western boun
dary to the eastern boundary of the
occupied regrions leaves the Rhenish
regions as a field for foreign sales.
The united opinion of the industrial
bodies la that, while the new occu
pation and the new customs frontier
remain, the occupied regions must
be considered as outside Germany and
be dealt with economically as such.
Rearrangement Arrded.
This hits the German manufac
turers and merchants in occupied
Germany who deal with the occupied
regions. But, more important, it
necessitates the rearrangement of the
delicate mechanism of the Rubrort
district.
It is much as if half of an. enormous
manufacturing: plant were cut in two,
with a special tax imposed upon every
unfinished part which goes from one
Bide of the plant to the other. Of
course, this would lead to infinite
confusion, which is the state of Ger
man industry at the present day.
The correspondent questioned mem
bers of the liuesseldorf chamber of
commerce as to what would be the
effect of the new frontier. The unan
imous reply was:
IOxpert fiivrw Opinion.
The region occupied is partly de
Toted to the production of raw and
eemi-manufactured articles which are
finished in the unoccupied region.
But it is partly devoted to finishing-
articles which originate in the
unoccupied region of Germany.
Enough to say that Kssen is on one
side of the new line and Duessel
dorf on the other."
An expert o the ministry of trade
and commerce, who is a specialist in
t:.j Ruhr industries, made this ex
planation of the system upon which
the prosperity of that region de
pended: "liulsburg is a center of canals and
railroads with a mechanism as deli
cate as a watch and as easily disar
ranged. Its industry has been devel
oped and handled by experts and its
disarrangement brings the whole re
gion to a standstill. For example, the
Khine-Hern canal and the Dertmund
Knis canal deliver 60.000 tons of coal
daily through Ruhrort.
"By cutting off these canals from
their chief dumping points and de
ranging the present time schedules
the whole system is blocked. Mul
tiply this example by hundreds like
it and you have some idea of what
confusion is going to exist on both
Bides of the new lines of demarca
tion." Trade Connections Cat.
The united chambers of commerce
of the occupied territory made this
statement:
"Kighty-five per cent of the trans
portation into the newly-occupied re
gion formerly came from other parts
of Germany. About the same propor
tion of the shipments from this re
gion went into the interior of Ger
many, thus leaving 15 per cent of the
shipments to foreign countries.
"Now, with the new customs fron
tier between us and the rest of Ger
many and with tolls on 85 per cent of
our business, trade competition with
central Germany is impossible."
What no one of these bodies is will
ing yet to put into words is that the
Rhine regions are now outside of Ger
many and are dependent on their east
ern neighbors for coal. Iron and the
necessities of life. The Germans re
fuse to face the cold fact that the
German empire, having been created
by a customs union, is now being
broken up by a customs frontier.
ALLIES FOUND OX XEW LIXE
lln h y Stations Held; Larger
Garrisons Are Expected.
DUSSELPORF, March 19. (By the
Associated Press.) Small forces of
the allied army of occupation were
found in Oberhausen, Mulheim-on-Kuhr,
Styrum, Speldorf and Wedau
by the correspondent of the Associat
ed Press. In most cases the troops
had occupied the railway stations but
there were indications of preparation
for larger garrisons.
, Families living in barracks at Mul-heim-on-Ruhr
had received 24 hours'
notice to move.
; Orders have been issued placing all
railroads, foundries, furnaces and
mines in the Duisberg district under
supervision of allied forces.
1 The French war office explains that
the troop movements cannot be re
garded as an advance, but are simply
changes in advance posts.
SERVANTS MADE TO DRINK
Prince Frlcdrleh Leopold Ordered
Intoxication.
(Copyright Jiv th N'ew York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
LONDON, March 20. (Special Ca
ole.) A dispatch to the Daily Tele
graph from Berlin Sunday says a
very extraordinary picture of Hohen
zolleru family life has been submitted
to the public by the Prussian minis
ter of finance. The object of the
department is to justify its action in
sequestrating one of the estates of
the ex-kaiser's cousin. Prince Freid
rich Leopold, whose fortune is esti
mated at between 200,000,000 and 300,
000,000 marks. The details published
go far back into theidays of the war
when an attempt also was made to
have the prince placed under a
guardianship, but It was stopped by
the opposition of the ex-kaiser.
At that time, according to evidence
of servants, the prince was continu
ally under the influence of liquor and
frequently had to be carried to bed in
a state bordering on unconsciousness.
One of the favorite amusements of
both himself and the princess was to
reduce their servants to a similar
condition. It was stated by one lackey
that he was compelled to drink be
tween two and three bottles of cham
pagne in an evening. When he pro
tested that his thirst was satisfied the
prince shouted at him. "You're not
drinking for your own amusement,
but for mine."
At times the servants were forced
to drink a mixture of port and sherry
seasoned with pepper and the most
pungent Knglish sauces and the royal
couple evidently took the greatest
delight in the wry faces this concoc
tion caused.

Publishers Say Reduction in Price

Financial Disaster.
LOUISVILLE, Ky March 20. That
financial disaster would follow reduc
tion of advertising rates was the con
census of opinion cf publishers and
advertising executives of newspapers
today attending a meeting of the of
ficers and directors of the national
association of newspaper executives,
according to Charks Miller, president.
"Retailers have been misled by the
spot market prices of paper," he said.
"It is true that the spot market price
of paped has dropped from 12 cents
a pound to 7 cents. However, pub
lishers buy their paper on contract.
Last year they were paying four
cents, now' they are paying six and a
half cents. Then, too, freight rates
are higher and there have been no
reductions in the wage scales of
union men. Consequently lower rates
are out of the question."
Plans for the annual convention of
the association to be held in Atlanta
the week of June 12 were discussed.
It was announced President Harding
would speak.

PARIS, March 20. (By the Asso

clared today the mission of ex
Preinier Viviani to the United States
must be purely a matter of courtesy,
as no expert accompanied him. It
forecast the line he would take if
President Harding should question
him concerning the league of nations.
"He will set orth that France can
not conceive of any future agree
ment that does not take the Versailles
treaty as its base, and the pact of
the league of nations, which Is in
separable from it," the paper asserted.
"If the United States desires to
modify the pact in accordance with
President Harding's Ideas, its pro
posals naturally will be examined
with the most friendly attention.
"Nothing is more legitimate than
that America should keep aloof for
the time being. But the day she is
willing to come to our side, she can
do it only by ratifying, with the reser
vations she judges necessary, the
treaty of Versailles with the pact of
the league of nations."

Soviet Forces Mow Down Men,
Women and Children In
Way During Attack.
STOCKHOLM, March 20. (By the
Associated Press.) Details of the
fall of Kronstadt before the bolshe
vik onslaughts, with Leon Trotzky,
soviet war minister, in command,
have been brought here by refugees.
In the citadel, they said, some 1700
men were left endeavoring to fight
thjir way toward the east and in
the other fortresses approximately
1009 were madie prisoners.
AH officers and leaders among the
military forces and civilians immed
iately were executed. Their bodies
were thrown on the ice of the Gulf
of Finland, with stones and scrap
iron in their pockets so that they will
sink when the ice breaks up, prob
ably in a fortnight.
Others Face Execution.
All the other rebel soldiers interned
most likely will be executed.
The insurrectionary forces were
betrayed by inhabitants sympathiz
ing with the bolsheviki and small
bodies of the rebels were mowed
down by machine guns fired by local
communists.
The garrison was not strong enough
to rush these forces of communists
and repulse outside attacks. Every
o.ie, man or woman, with or without
weapons, who got in the way of the
bolsheviki was killed, the refugees
asserted.
Refugee Stream Ceases.
Kronstadt suffered severely. The
stream of refugees has ceased, ac
cording to dispatches from Terioki.
on the Finnish frontier. Only a few
men arrived today after an adven
turous night, clad in white and with
badly wounded hands sustained in
creeping along the ice.
Kronstadt had big stores of army
equipment, which explained the good
attire of the soldiers and sailors
reaching Finland. The latter country
will have great difficulty in feeding
them.
