Washington, April 3. A list of efficers who have been awarded the distinguished service medal for ex ceptionally meritorious service dur ing the war, issued by the War de partment today, includes the names of Maj. Gens. Leonard Wood, Hugh L. Scott and John F. Morri son. At the same time the department announced award of the medal to Gen. K. Otani of the Japanese army ''for especially meritorious and. dis tinguished service as senior allied commander in Siberia." Among other officers given the medal are: Brigadier Generals Robert B. Dan ford, Oliver Edwards. Charles McK Saltzman, Archibald H. Sunderland, E. Eveleth Winslow, Lytle Brown, John J. Bradley; Major Generals, Willard A. Holbrook. Guy Carleton; Colonels James G. Steese, Bradley Dewey, Robert F. Wyllie, J. R. Mc- Andrews; Lt. Col. S. J. M. Auld, British army; Colonel E. D. Giles, British army. Civilians Decorated. Two civilians received the medal, Frank B. Jewett, late lieutenant colonel in the signal corps, for his service in connection with the de velopment of technical apparatus for the army, and Charles Eiseman, late vice president of the committee on supplies, council of national de fense, for his "energy, courage, busi ness ability and foresight" in enlist ing American industry and thus making possible "the proper and prompt equipment of our armies with clothing and equippage." The citation of Major General Holbrook refers to his "conspicuous service as1 commanding general, southern department, where his firmness and tact in handling a threatening situation on the Mexi can border, materially improved the conditions between the United States and Mexico." Wood Gets Medal. General Wood's decoration was based on his service as a department, division and camp commander dur ing the war. The citation says: 'He has displayed qualities of leadership and professional attain ments of a high order in the admin istration and training of his various commands, and has furthered in every way during the war the sys tem of officers' training schools." The decoration given General Scott mentions the fact that as chief of staff he persistently urged that adoption of the selective service law and as commanding general at Camp Dix he organized and trained the miscellaneous troops committed to his care." ALLIES ARE IN DANGER UPON NORTH FRONTS (Continued From Page One.) viki as the result of the successful campaign of the army of General Denekine in that region in January and February, according to an offi cial report issued here. The anti bolshevik leaders, fighting having ceased, are forming new forces of Cossacks and other natives. The report says that the capture of Vladikavkaz January 28, by the troops under General Shkuro, com pleted the campaign against the Luki in which 50,000 prisoners, more than 2,000 guns, 350 machine guns. 100 locomotives and thousands of railway cars were taken. German troops are resisting a bolshevik offensive in East Prussia, according to art Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Berlin. Failure of the offensive in the di rection of Tukhum, in Courland, west of Riga, is admitted by the Russian soviet government in a wireless message received here to day. The message adds that fighting is in progress in the direction of Mitau, southwest of Riga, and in the region of Pskov, northeast of Riga. Allies Hold Lines Intact. Archangel, April 3. Repeated bolshevik attacks along the front line, and both the right and left flank positions controlling Odozerskaia were repulsed today by allied forces. The Americans, French, British and Russians, who, either separately or together, are holding positions throughout this territory, have ev erywhere held their lines intact. Lemburg Bombardment Continues. Warsaw, April 3. The Ukrainians continue to bombard Lemburg with guns of large caliber, causing cas ualties and damage to property. Elsewhere on the front in eastern Galicia, the situation is unchanged. Petlura Approaching Kiev. Paris, April 3. The departure of Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, member of the British league of nations com mission, for Budapest, instead of General Mangin of the French army, who was first suggested as the allied representative to investigate certain problems in Hungary aris ing from the armistice, is regarded as an indication that talking, rather than fighting, will take place in Hun gary, where the situation is believed by the allied officials to have im proved greatly. Advices to the French foreign of fice indicate that the forces in Ukraine under Petlura are within 30 miles of Viev, threatening the re capture of the city from the bol sheviki. The Roumanian victory over the bolsheviki on the Bessarabian bor der and the fact that Odessa is be ing revictualled and is not being evacuated bv the allies lessen the chance for a Russian bolshevik union with the extremists of Hungary, who are evincing a pronounced inclina tion tor good relations with the en tente, NEW DISORDERS IN GERMANY ARE DANGER SIGNS (Continued From Face One.) of public opinion, which would not easily understand or accept any fail ure to obtain peace, and the desper ate food situation probably will force the government to sign any terms of peace presented by the allies ex cept those aforementioned. This pressure already has shown its effect at the renewal of the ar mistice in March, when the govern ment had actually determined to re fuse to sien the condition of the renewal. The government, however, was torced to reverse its decision upon hearing from the representa tives in the national assembly who were in closer touch with the peo pie. . Food May Check Unrest. Factory owners and others in close touch with industrial condi tions regard the distribution of American food supplies at reason able prices as the only possibility of mastering the strike movement, re establishing industrial order and stimulating production. With the workmen able to buy with their wages the necessary food they may be able to shake off the influence of the radicals. Without this possibil ity all must inevitably drift com pletely into the domination of the extremists. The industrial situation is com plicated by a shortage of coal and raw materials. Factories are run ning only five days a week on a short scale. Should the coal pro duction be increased and transporta tion improved, there would be a far better outlook for industry. Leading German manufacturers, particularly in the electrical and ma chinery lines, assured the corre spondent that they would have no difficulty in doing a profitable busi ness even under the present wage scale, if the food and fuel difficulty was solved. The food situation was rapidly becoming critical when the food and shipping agreement was signed. But the speedy arrival of American food ships with food on board, had already had an imposing effect on general sentiment, although distribution had not been begun a week ago. Supplies Nearly Exhausted. The exhaustion of the .potato stocks was in sight, the food admin istrators hoping only to continue the reduced ration until May. Some stocks of grain could last at best only into the third week of May. The emaciated herds of Germany were no longer able to supply the reduced meat ration of from four to seven punces per week. The gov ernmental distribution of bread was slightly over five pounds a week, but was still functioning efficiently. Otherwise the rationing machinery had largely broken down, either on account of exhaustion of supplies or inability of a weak government to enforce the purchasing regulations, which had been beyond the power of a strong war government. The ration, even on paper, was inadequate to maintain the working ability ot people weakened by four years of tood privation. Every one, rich and poor, bought what supplies could be obtained outside the rations at enor mous prices. The workman, earning his impos ing 30 or 40 marks per day, had been spending a day's wages for a pound of lard, pork or beef. The more un fortunate middle-class man, on a fixed salary, was unable to finance such luxury except on the rarest occasion. Both of these classes at the end of March found that, even at such exorbitant prices, nothing was to be obtained. Restaurants, which earlier had catered to custom ers with money and had furnished them with food, without the pre sensation of a card, were being forced to obey them. The long wait for the decision of the peace conference and the press reports from time to time of deci sions adverse to Germany had pro duced a very pessimistic sentiment, and just as the government repre sentatives talked of refusing to sign a humiliating treaty, so many pub licists and men in various walks of life had begun to argue the advis ability of casting over the west and coming to an understanding with bolshevist Russia. This sentiment when coming from those of the better classes, was un doubtedly voiced largely for foreign consumption. An alliance with Rus sia and bolshevism, howe'ver, is a plank in the plan of the independent socialists in their drive for power, and is a cardinal principle of the propaganda of the bpartacans who are so largely financed by Russian money that the government early in March introduced special emer gency legislation to prohibit the im portation and circulation of Russian currency. 200 Germans Arrested as Rioters in Spanish Cities Paris, April 3.

Brandeis stores in the men's fur nishing department. According to employes in the same department, she received a note, read it, and shortly after took off a ring thought to be an engagement ring. She then wrote a letter and left the store, they say. Friends of Miss Holtz say that she was engaged .to a youth named Rollins, 17 years old, an au tomobile mechanic, who went to San Francisco a month ago. Mrs. Holtz told of a boy friend who had gone away, but scouted the idea that this influenced her daughter. Employes of the store also tell of a tall young man who came to the girl's counter and inquired for her less than an hour after she had left the store. "Tell her I came in," he requested. Will Prosecute1 Druggist. On reaching home Miss Holtz locked herself into her room, ac cording to Miss Sylvia Boesberg, a roomer. Shortly after 2 o'clock she left the house, but soon returned in a gay mood. She played her favor ite piece, "Beautiful Ohio," on her piano with great feeling, humming the tune softly. As she turned from the piano to her friend, Miss Boes berg, she said: "Tell mother to for give me," and walked to her room. Shortly after she screamed to Miss Boesberg: "I've been poisoned." She died two hours later in spite of the physician's efforts. Mrs. Holtz, who was prostrate with grief, yesterday told County Attorney Steinwander that she in tended to prosecute the druggist who sold her daughter poison. Mr. Steinwender says the sale was le gal. Miss Holtz told the druggist she wanted the poison to kill a cat. When she applied at the Pickett Loring drug store earlier in the aft ernoon for poison, she was refused because of her agitation. Frank Crowl, the druggist who -sold the poison, will testify at the inquest to day, according to Steinwender.

Sedgwick, a sufferer from tuber culosis, had been sued for divorce, and tonight he sought an, interview with his wife in the offices of Mrs. Sedgwick's attorney, with a view to persuading her to withdray her suit. The shooting followed. In a letter addressed to a brother, Sedgwick said if he failed in his mis sion, he "would make an end of ev erything." Gorgas at Panama. Panama, April 3.

Another of President Wilson's en tourage said the real issue wa whether President Wilson's princi pie of self-determination was to be upheld. The president, he said, did not regard this as a principle which should be applied when favorable to the entente and not applied in all cases alike. Just now, it was asserted, the issues over Danzig, the Sarre valley and the region west of the Rhine brought up this prin ciple of self-determination, as it was not clear that the transfer of terri torial control of these localities would be in accordance with the wisnes and determination ot their peoples. King Albert Visits President. King Albert of Belgium figured prominently during todays confer ence. The Belgian monarch called on Colonel House at 11 o'clock in the morning and later saw President Wilson before the arrival of David Lloyd George, Premier Clemenceau and Signor Orlando. The conference between King Al bert and President Wilson is de scribed as having been most cordial Relgian questions are said to have been discussed in a most satisfactory spirit on both sides. It was ar ranged that King Albert should meet the council of four tomorrow for a presentation of Belgian repara tion and territorial claims. The call of King Albert on Col onel House was a decided novelty lor which veterans of royal pro cedure said there was no precedent The king wore the uniform of com mander-in-chief of the Belgian army .ina was accompanied Dy a statt om- cer. . lie was met at the entrance of the residence of Colonel House by the colonel himself who escorted htm to his private ohice, where a series of conferences constantly is going on.
