Glad Roosevelt

Peace Conference
COlOnePS Presence Would

Embarrassment.
BY NEWTON c. PARKE.

international News Service.
PARIS, Dec. 6.-Some satisfaction
was expressed here today over the
information that ex-Pres't Roosevelt
is not coming to Paris, and even
some Of the former presidents
friends took the attitude that the
presence of Col. Roosevelt here dur
ing the peace conference might en-
barrass Pres't Wilson.
It was pointed out that should Col.
Roosevelt attempt to criticize the
president during the course Of the
negotiations. it might result in an
undesirable situation.
French newspapers are paying
scant attention TO Col. Roosevelt g
latest statement regarding the COM
ing Of the president to the peace
parley.
The continued eulogizing Of Pres't
Wilson by the socialist and anti
government press here already is
causing some irritation among
friends of the government. The So
cialists are hailing Mr. Wilson as
the worlds deliverer." predicting
that he viii overcome the chan
cellories" i'm the discussions on dis
armament. the proposed league OF
nations and so on.
The American press bureau says
il was learned that France and othe-
allied nations favor the participation
Of Armenia in the peace conference
as a belligerent, and it is expected
that Pres't Wilson will support the
idea.

Under "a decree from the central
branch at Berlin the word soldier
has been dropped as part Of the

Cialistic movement was started by
the marines in the German navy at
Kiel. Realizing that an attack had
been ordered against the allies and
that il was futile. the marines mu-

alization OF the mail service, by Rep
resentative Miller, of Minnesota. Mr..
Miller said that criticism of a pub

the mail service was in a deplorable

relenting and oppressive hand of AL

After drawing a verbal picture of
the men in France almost completely
cut off from communication with
their families at home Mr.. Miller de-
clared: These conditions come from
causes which are not hard to find.
Investigation discloses that the mail
service is demoralized, a demoraliza-
tion that results from a tyrannical,
even brutal, treatment OF the hum
dreds of thousands of postal employees
by the Postmaster General and from
certain policies adopted that seem
to ignore all consideration of eff
cheney.
We, who know Mr.. Burleson be-

POTASH ALWAYS IN DEMAND
Hard to Obtain Sufficient Quantity Of
This Most Important of
Fertilizers.

Potash is perhaps the most impor.
tant of fertilizers. Although pOtas-
stun, in its combinations, is one Of the
most widely distributed of the ele-
mcnts, it is found massed in bulk in
only a few places. The Saxon deposits
at Stassfurt, and the beds in Alsace,
are the worlds chief sources of Sup
ply.
3 Elsewhere, potash is to be had only
by the treatment of great quantities of
material, with small resultant yield.
The case is not as bad as that of
radium, where ton of ore may give
only fraction of a grain of the pre-
ciOus metal; but it Is bad enough to
make its extraction an extremely cost
ly process. The farmers wife has al
ways known how to leach potash from
wood ashes in sufficient quantity to
make the soft soap for the family
washing, but this method does not pay
commercially.
