Soviet Files Protest Against Vio
lation by. Germany of the
Brest Treaty by Her Invasion
With Armed Force of Ukrainia.
Clear and Precise Answer Is
Demanded as to Whether Ber
lin Expects to Observe the
Provisions of Peace Treaty.
W
16. -(U.
P.) Russia has served no
tice on Germany that she is
"compelled . lo mobilize all neces
sary' forces" to protect herself in
view of Germany's violation of
the Brest peace treaty.
The full facta of the recent soviet pro-
teat against German invasion of the
Ukraine, received by the state depart
ment today revealed that Russian
threat. ' 1
After reciting- Ukrainian difficulty
. and the Teuton operations in Finland,
the statement added:
"tn order to fulfill the Brest treaty,
which is the legal basis for the relations
between Germany and Russia, the so
viet 'government has officially declared
'its readiness to open Immediate negotia
tions with the Ukrainian central Rada,
"No answer,- however, has come -from
this government which is now directed
by Germany. The German government,
having likewise opposed the question of
a peace treaty, has in no way given any
answer to all off era to open peace nego
tiations. " "
"Instead or this the advance of German-Ukrainian
forces against Russia
continues."
Then followed the statement a to mo
' bll nation.
They demand a clear and precise an
swer aa to whether Germany considers
the Brest treaty still In effect and on
' what grounds she continues to send
troops against the Soviet republic
Food Situation Desperate
Berne, May 16. (I. N. S.) The food
situation tn Austria is desperate. Dis
patches from German sources indicate
that that part of Austria Inhabited
chiefly by persons of German blood is
now beginning a critical three-months
from a food standpoint.
It is generally realized that Ukrainia
would be' unable to supply the needs of
. the central empires. Throughout both
empires the poor are cursing the Prus
sian militarists who used Austrian food
discontent as an opportunity to "dis
member the Hapsburg empire," first
winning over the German states of Aus-
trla to the Hohenxollerna.
i -Ths permans in the Tyrol now ex
hibit a separatist tendency in common
with the Bohemian Germans. Tyrolean
. party leaders speaking at Innsbruck,
, blamed Austria, especially Premier Seyd
ler. for the food crisis and pitiable dis
tress. , The newspaper Aftenpost calls the
. treatment of Austria "shameful."

Slavs and Czechs Object
Basle, Switzerland, May 16. (L N. S.)
The Slav and Cjech members of the
Austrian relcharath have already
j launched a hostile movement against
the new Austro-German compact, ac
; cording to the Vienna correspondent of
i the Frankfurter Zeltung.
The compact in question waa drawn
up at the recent conference of the two
kaisers at German great headquarters,
and. according to all reports, it puts
, Austria-Hungary under the virtual dom
., lnatlon of Germany.
Representing the investment by New
York and local capitalists of more than
$200,000, the interest of Joseph Supple
in the Supple-Ballin Shipbuilding com
pany la reported the object of a trans
fer, the final details of which were per
fected this morning.
Some features of the sale the Supple
Ballin company officers decline to Uis
CU3S, but it is indicated that the pur
chase of Mr. Surple's interest in the
company 1a made by two individual
capitalists from New York, one of whom
is George Low, son of Seth Low, -one
time mayor of Greater New York. Mr.
Low is in 'Portland handling his end -of
the deal personally, and is registered at
the Benson hotel.
It Is reported this morning that the
price paid by the New York financiers
is $160,000 plus the value of Mr. Supple's
actual Investment In the plant on the
east aide. The company holds several
highly valuable shipbuilding contracts
and haa already turned out five vessels
for private interests and 1 for the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, including
the Mount Hood and Mount Shasta, full
motorahips. . . .
The latter vessels are ; property of
Gaston, "Williams -A "Wigmore of .New
York and: it is possible that through
them New York capital became inter
ested In the Portland purchase.
The Supple-Ballin . company has re
ceived at least eight contracts from the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. Nearly
1000 men are employed on the several
ways of the company. .
It Is said that the deal does not effect
Mr. Supple's other waterfront interests.

Among Five Candidates Be
lieved to Give Present Gov
ernor Chance to Win.
Salem, Or.. May 16. Eleventh hour
efforts by Governor Withycombe's cam
paign manager in Portland to bolster
the governor's candidacy for reelection
by falsely quoting Frank J. Miller
chairman of the public service com
mission, on his opinion of 4 the gover
nor's strength, . were- repudiated today
after Mr. Miller had read the account
in the Oregonian of his purported in
terview.
Mr. Miller was quoted as saying he
predicted a landslide for Withycombe
and that the Governor would carry all
of the valley counties, except Polk
all of Eastern Oregon, except two ooun
ties, and Tillamook, Clatsop, Jackson
Josephine and -Douglas.
Interview Branded as Falle
This interview is branded by Mr
Miller as false, as he says he has
made no prediction that Withycombe
or s,ny one ; else would ; have a land
slide. in an authorized statement
Issued by Mr. Miller, he says:
As a candidate it would be folly for
me, with five candidates in the field, to
advocate . the election of anyone for
governor. I have my own candidacy to
look 'after and I am not advanclnr the
candidacy of any man for governor or
any other office. Nor have I predict
ed a landslide for Governor Withy
combe or any other man.
"In" talking with a gentleman in Port
land yesterday, who I assume waa
either a. . friend of Governor - Withy
combe or a friend of my opponent. I
was asked my opinion of the chances
for nomination of the candidates" for the
different offices. I made no prediction
as to who would be nominated for
United States senator, but did say that
in my opinion Mr. Moser was quite
strong In - certain portions of Eastern
Oregon, particularly in Baker county.
as wen as tn Multnomah : that I thourht
Mr. Olcott would probably carry Ma
rion, r oik ana Jackson and had a good
prospect in Josephine : that I' thought
Mr, Withycombe would probably carry
Linn and Benton counties and that Mr.
Simpson is particularly strong with the
lumbering and shipbuilding - Interests.
and Mr. Olcott strong with the farmers,
especially, in the outlying districts.
- Trying' to Keep Free
"This is the substance of all that
was said and any other statement than
this Is not. baaed upon anything I have
said. . I have tried to keep free from
all , entanglements - or of showing any
special - preference for other candidates,
knowing. that each had his friends and
It would be particularly inadvisable if or
me to antagonize them."

About 125 German divisions (1.600.-

Ben W. Olcott and Governor Withy
combe will be the high men for the Re
publican gubernatorial nomination when
the polls close Friday night. If any
thing may be gleaned from a careful
personal canvass or the political senti
ment of the principal heavy voting coun
ties of the state, taken together with
unbiased reports that have been gath
ered from practically every other coun
ty and district with which personal con
tact haa .not been had.
Multnomah county and its answer to
the pleas of the various candidates Is a
pusxie whicn no one seems aoie io mvt-wm
before the vote, but it seems to be the
areneral belief that the county result
will be relatively close between Olcott.
Moser and Withycombe. with 81mpson a
close .contender for places But outside
of Multnomah county that Is. over the
late at large, the conclusion Is easily
deduclblo from the apparent drift of ex
pressed sentiment, as gathered from
personal investigation, supported by re
ports from all available sources, that
Olcott will lead the governor under the
wire. The final answer, then, rests
with Multnomah.
Split Tele (lives Oaly Chaare
It is very obvious, from a survey of
the entire state, with Multnomah county
Included, that Governor Withycombe la
the choice of a waning minority of his
party. In a two handed fight with
either Olcott. Simpson or Moser there
would be but little doubt of his signal
defeat It la only the fact that the vote
Is split five different ways against htm
that gives him a chance to win. and If
h does win it. will be because tho vt

through a vote divided among his f!v
