TO REVIGTUAL GERMANY!

THE TIMES.

T JOHN T. PABXEXSOII II. W. S. Staff Corrspondnt.) I 'A HIS. March ) .- Ke,,n ..-.

Die rvtctualinjr of Germany and the i.ansfcr of the Herman mercantile fleet v.Keh M-tre broken off by the German strmistiee Cumin issioners at Sra, vill likely be re-opened immediately, according to billet expressed here today. following a conference of Premier l.loyd George nd Premier t'lfmcnrcHU it 'ass tindertsood that a plan had been decided upon to supply Germany u ith fijod until harvest tinif. In the meantime the council of ten. hich considered the hunger crisis in Austria yesterday, has reached on agreement to relieve the situation there, ''he embargo on Austria will be lifted that fond cm be sent iti and Herbert Hoover, head of the inter-a llkd food council. uill be giv.n a free hand in i Oiiig on the work. Mr. Hoover, it is understood Is furo V &u--ve in handling the Kuivpva.. (""'' situation. There are now j.uOo ' "i;s of food tied up at Fiume and ! 'i'. icste which can be distributed as soon j t' e transportation situation is re-1- . ad. The question of payment for t!ie food : ,:ow' considered by the allied j delegates. With Germany this is aj nm Hon which must be threshed out at ! but the allied envoys ore optimistic i vf ,cchins a favorable understanding. ! s.pa is the seat of the armistice ntgo- ! t .-rior.:j. j The allies know that the Germans I l.".e supplies of potash, nitrates and; fher essf ntials which they can ex- j i ii;:rge for food. ! I'he hitch in the armistice negotia-l

i "tis at Spa was due entirely to the Ormans. becaue of their refusal to turn over interned merchant ships without assurance of food until harvest tlrre. but a t Ian has been drawn up which, is believed to remove all objections. It is understood that Col. K. M. House of the American commission has vituelly agreed to .this solution, as well as J'remiers Lloyd George and C'.emeneeau. The main question now has narrowed down to the matter of retting ships from Germany, payment for supplies

and a few minor details to which the Germans must assent. Secretary Lansing of the American delegation has offered a resolution to i the big five dealing with certain aspects j cf the cable situation. (A cablegram to the International j Xewa Service from Paris yesterday said i

that the. American envoys .were working for free cable communication with all parts of tha -world.)
