reports from Berlin, the Entente Gov
ernments intend to refuse to secd

mand they are said to have made for
the dissolution Of the Soldiers and
Workers Councils is carried out The
Allies. the reports add. will reserve the
right to march into Germany.
Representatives OF the troops that
are TO guard Berlin took an oath IN
the Town Hall at steslitz. swearing
absolute loyalty to the German Peo-
pies Republic. Independent Socialists,
according TO advices reaching here, ex-
horted the soldiers to disarm, but they
refused.
The Prussian Guard entered Berlin
yesterday and was welcomed by thou
sands. outside the city the guard was
stopped by representatives Of the In
dependent Socialists. who vainly in
vited the troops to dsarm.
Commenting on this incident. one
paper says that the guard thereby
placed itself at the disposal OF the
counter revolution.
DIR. Schiller, the German Finance
Minister, in n statement issued in
Berlin, says that IL peace had actually

and that the taxation from the various
States would have totalled 100000
900 marks sl.25o, ,000, ,000). These cal
culations. however. he says, have been
upset by recent events.
IF we continue as we have been GO
ing ruin Is inevitable. the Finance
Minister declared I'VE squander
money on irrelevant details OF State
administration. There is lack OF en-
ployment and consequently our credit
at home and abroad is failing. a new
bill for war taxation will be introduced
at once and will be retroactive as far
back as 1914"

Sembat Fnvors League.

Marcel Sem5at, representing another
shade OF French opinion, although not
the most extreme. attacks the views in
the Echo dc Paris. which he charges
are those of official France, and de-
clares he fears the European peoples
are In danger of being robbed of this
supreme hope-a league Of nations
which, he adds the masses of the
French people translate as the aboli-
ton of armaments and Conscription.

key to n new order which 1t fears.
1t is likely that the official French
attitude will be made known soon. per-

Great Britain's stand.

He points out that Great Britain has
refused to agree to this. as is shown
by her most recent attitude in regard
TO tho maintenance Of the supremacy
OF the British maritime and naval
power, and which even the United
States fails to accept by the very ac-
tons Of the President in sanctioning
the development OF an American fleet.
Where, then, are the Powers where
are the statesmen ready to subordinate
the independence and force Of their
country before 4 great international
magistracy?' he asks. After indorsing
similar Anglo Saxon views he con-
cludes that all limits artifcially and
prematurely imposed upon the SOW
ereignty and independence Of In
dividual States are capable OF produc-
ing restraints which can result only
in the most serious reactions, in which,
he says. lie the great danger OF the
league. Finally he cautions the ne
gotiators in the congress TO temper
their professed love for humanity with
little realism.

officials explained to-day that all
importan: steps now being taken by
tho Allies are made with the full
knowledge of the Government of the
United States and that the reports o:
secret agreements between France
and England. or among France, Eng
land and Italy are being circulated
merely to attempt to create III feeling
between America and the Allies.
These reports of n British French
Italian secret agreement 10 stand to-
gether at the peace table originated
apparently from the fact that Premier
Clemenceau, Premier Lloyd George.
Marshal Foch. Premier Orlando and
Baron Sonnino. the Foreign Minister of
Italy, met in Downing street, London,
just as President Wilson started on
his trip. Subsequent statements ema-
mating from both London and Paris
clearly indicated that the French and
the British wero n unit in support of
two major features of the peace pro-
Eramme. reparation without stint for
France and continued sea supremacy
for Great Britain.
1t is true that Great Britain and
France are pledged to stand together
regardless of subsequent arguments
or developments on the questions of
full reparation for France and supre-
macy on the sea for Great Britain.
The British hre pledged to support the
French stand and the French will
back British sea supremacy through

pledged to support Britain and France

PARTY CHIEFS ASKED
To DRAFT PLATFORM

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. MAJ 2z.-Tn-
vitations have been extended TO Senator
Harry s New. Senator James Z. Wat
son. Chairman Will II. Hays OF the ma
tional committee and members of the
congressional delegation from Indiana
10 prepare q tentative draft Of the plat
form to be adopted by the Republican
state convention next Wednesday.
Chairman Hays was in New York yes
terday. according to the understanding
at the headquarters of the party al the
Hotel SEVERN. It was regarded 8 like
~ that he will stop At Washington en-
route home to obtain the views Of the
members OF the congressional delega-
tion regarding the platform declara-
tions on national issues.
Chairman Edmund D wasmuth OF
the state committee stated yesterday
that Chairman Hays. Senator'S Watson
and New and other members of the con
gressiona1 delegation have been asked to
prepare an outline for the platform,
which viii be drafted by the resolutions
committee Tuesday night
Chairman Wasmuth sRfd NJ under
stands that Senators New and Watson
will reach indianapolis Sunday after
noon. 1t is not known whether other
members of the congressional delegation
will attend the convention but IT is not
thought that many of them will be able
to get away from Washington al this
time.
Senator New to Preside.
Senator New is TO be the permanent
chairman OF the convention and Senator
Watson is to deliver one Of the princi-
pal speeches Senator watson announc-
ed some time ago that he proposed to
make a war speech and il is regarded s
probable that he may deliver it al the
state convention. Governor Goodrich is
now completing his speech. which his
close friends sas to be the most i'm
portant utterance Of his administra ton.
The drafting Of the platform, how
ever. is to be the feature of the para
mount interest. Chairman Hays is TO be

a member OF the resolutions committee
from the Second District and the sug-
gestion that he be made chairman of
the committee seems TO be meeting with
general approval It is the understand
ing that Chairman Hays holds the view
that Indiana should lead off" with a
platform chat viii be regarded as a
model for all other states on national
issues
He has expressed his views publicly
and il is known that he favors a strong
pro-war platform. The slogans he vii
offer are we favor winning the war
now" and we favor peace b. victory
and not BY bargaining. Another para
mount feature Of his program is a dec
lsration in favor Of sane solution Of
the problems Of reconstruction that viii
come following the war.
Platform Of Importance.
II is not likely that there will be
much opposition TO his suggestions
along these lines. but there is specula-
ton regarding the wording Of the plat
form on the conduct Of the war BY Pres
ident Wilson and particularly by Secre-
tary Baker Of the War Department
Owing to the fact that Indiana occupies
an important part in national politics
and to the fact that Chairman Hays Of
the national committee IS an Ind ma
man the platform is expected to attract
nationwide attention.
