Socialists Consider Advisa-
bility of Making of
a Buffer.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
A MSTERDAM, Netherlands, Feb.
4 29.-The conversion Of Alsace-
Lorraine into an Independent buffer
state between France and Germany,
possibly Joined to the small independ-
ent Grand Duchy of Luxembourg that is
now in German occupation, is the
latest suggestion put forward to Dutch
Socialist circles in an attempt to
bridge the deep chasm between the
French and German Socialist groups,
and to enable the Socialists on both
belligerent sides to work with one ac-
cord in their respective countries for
the attainment of peace.
The Alsace-Lorraine question is the
great stumbling block which has
hitherto defeated all attempts of the
famous Socialist international to re-
store harmony and unity among the
various national groups affiliated to
it. and the Dutch Socialist organ Het
volk now put forward the foregoing
as the chief point in draft of peace
terms upon the basis Of which. it
urges. all Socialists might undertake
a campaign In favor of ending the
present terrible struggle.

NEW YORK. March 25.-Bitter ex-

the least of their misery.
These were the advance guard Of
four thousand and two hundred
Armenian men and women being
escorted as refugees to the United
States by the American committee Tor
Armenian and Syrian relief. The
refugees were to be colonized in this
country. Their way was paid by
relatives already here.
As fast as they were discharged by
the immigration authorities the Ar
menians were taken in charge by

the committee. In turn those who
had friends or relatives in New YORK
were sent to them. Others were

not favoring any such system. The

the people. The emperor has no right
to refuse II. Moreover, / have been
treated kindly and favorably by the
emperor for long time. and l sup
port him with all sincerity. As to
the question of the federal state sys-
tenn. that story was started by the
rebels with the intention Of disturb
ing the friendly feelings in the prov
inces. Positively do not support It,"
General Feng told the Japanese Of
ficer that newspapers organized un-
der the direction of the revolutiOnists
In Shanghai and other foreign settle
ments are giving an erroneous I'M
preston concerning the conditions in
China. and represent every bandit
movement as the work Of a large
revolutionary force The only disaf-
fection of consequence is In Yunnan
province, in the opinion General Feng
expressed to the japanese officer.
Kweichow has been overrun by the
Yunnanese, but General Feng does
not believe the majority Of the peo-
pie either in Kweichow or in Yunnan
are in sympathy with the revolution.
II has been brought about chiefly
through the efforts Of ambitious
leaders In his opinion.
The success OF the revolution Is
popularity supposed to depend on the
attitude Of General Feng chang.
While he remains loyal to Yuan Shi-
kai tho lower Yang-tse valley Is be-
lieved to be safe. Should he throw
the large Nankin garrison into the
rebel camp the outcome of the revo-
luton might be unfavorable to the
Peking government.

nevertheless convinced that If after

upheaval that has placed the civil

However, the number is increasing
