Stories of Allied
Friction Deplored
BY Washington,

W A S HIN G 7 N, Nov. 2S-The
stories written by the two editors
created considerable interest here to-
night. The stories were written by
Frank R. Kent, of "The Baltimore
Sum-" and Colonel Charles A. Rook,
editor of "The Pittsburg Dispatch"
While both stories, which we're in
parts word for word the same, pre-
sented, according to their interpreta-
ton here, a forceful presentation of
arguments which might be made in
favor of President Wilson going to the
peace conference in order to iron these
difficulties out and protect American
interests, they aroused no enthusiasm
in Administration circles. At the White
House the stories were deplored. Some
friends of the President pointed out
that they would do more harm in
magmfying differences, in their attacks
on France and Great Britain, than
they could possibly do good in justify
ing the Presidents trip.
There was much surprise at the two
incidents described with regard to un-
pleasantness between Generals Perish
ing and Foch. Secretary of War Baker
and members of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee declared their ad-
vices were just the contrary, and that
the relations between the American
commander and his associates and the
generallsslmo were most cordial.

Blockade to Remain
AS a Peace Weapon,
Says London T irres

LONDON, Nov 28.-"The Tines'
suys that the absurd story the Ger
mans are reported to have spread
seni-officially that the Entente prob
ably will consider the abolition of the
blockade is absolutely unfounded- Tha
Allies have not the slightest intention,
''Tha Times" continues, Of throwing
aside their chief weapon for insuring
the signature of just peace and the
performance Of it's conditions, particu-
larly in the present chaotic state Of
Germany
After quoting evidence in an en-
deavor to refute DR.. Solf7s declaration
that Germany is starving, the news
paper says that German statements on
this subject require careful examina-
tlon. When the truth has been ascer-
tanned the Allies and the United States
will allow the Germans, from time to
time during the peace negotiations,
such food supplies as humanity die
tates, but the blockade must remain in
force until deinitive peace has been
ratified Thereafter it may be kept in
allegiance as the chosen instrument Of
the league Of nations for enforcing
Its decisions

Apple of Discord"
On Peace Conference
Denounced by Editor
Special to The Tribune

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2s.-"The Balti-
more American" tomorrow will say:
"Most untimely and i'll advised of
any expression processing to be based
upon authoritative viewpoints that has
as yet appeared about the peace coun-
Gil and its character, that article
printed in The Baltimore Sum of yes
terday deserves rebuke as a product
for the special delight of the HUN.
did The Sun show this article to
President Wilson before printing it?
Did he approve the printing in order
to give filling to his claims for the
necessity Of his presence in Europe?
If this is so, then there has been very
of the nation to gain popular support
TOR his going abroad. The American
has been willing to concede the neces-
slty of the trip upon the highest
grounds, not to have Mr.. Wilson play
the role of blckerer among bickerers
and bitter among biters. The picture
presented in The SUI is sickening and
dlsgusts the sense of idealism of the
age, and IS an offence to the people,
IaSy IL Is, ana interesting OF lCS type.
Even though it were supported by full
evidence it would yet remain an article
Of the utmost mischief and bad taste.
Possibly merely by chance is the CO.
incident announced that Henry White,
of Baltimore, will be the "Republican"
to be named on the peace commission
from this country. Mr.. Whites son is
one of the owners of "The Baltimore
Sum-" which throughout the war has
been a sort of 'ne-too' newspaper for
the Democratic Administration
"Mr. White may be very good Re-
publican, but certainly not an active
one, and there is grave reason to sus-
pect that the great Republican forces
in Congress which gave the Admin
istration support throughout the war
in it's policies that was denied by many
of the radicals Of the Democratic party
itself, will hardly be satisfied. TO
shelve such men as Taft, Hughes, Root
or dozen others who might be named
to allow Mr.. White to represent the
Republicans while five other direct as
sociates of the President are named to
represent the forces of democracy. is
patiently grave injustice to at least
half the electorate of the country"

other through the Vosges mountains,
west Of Alsace."
NJ. Gels has hopes that full reports
will soon be received from committees
formed of leading engineers, manufac-
turers and shippers, which have been
giving attention to the plans under
consideration.
The announcement by M. Gels that
the French government was studying
plans for the international railway
route to Odessa from Bordeaux is a
step toward the realization of the idea
of horizintal route across Europe,
connecting the great commercial cities.
This route has long been contemplated,
but this is the first practical measure
toward accomplishment of the project.
The general line follows the fortytifth
parallel of latitude, which links a chain
Of cities between the Atlantic and Rus
sia through territory that was as a
whole favorable to the Allied cause.
The projected line runs from Bor-
deaux to Lyons, then to Milan, Venice
and Triest, thence by way Of the Save
valley to Agram, the Jugo-Slav centre,
md thence to Belgrade, Bucharest and
Odessa Most of the railway links in
this chain are already constructed, but
they are under various dministrations
and there are unfinished links, chiefly
across Jugo-Slav districts.

Plan Mystery 'Plar,es
For Atlantic Flight
Tribune London Bureu.

TfOuTe LO7ldOn bureau
T ONDON, Nov. 2S.-At least
H. four, and probably half
dozen or more "secret airplanes"
now under construction are to
compete in a flight across the At
lantic. The Handley-Page Com
pany, it is believed, intends to fly
the latest super Handley across
the Atlantic as soon as possible.
According to reports the super
Handley slow flying plane can do
only about ninety miles an hour,
but it is capable of lifting an enor-
nous weight, approximating fif-
teen tons, while its wing spread is
reputed to be 1875 feet.
1t is understood here that an
American plane fitted with four
Liberty motors and flying a good
deal faster than the super-Hand-
ley will be ready shortly to at
tempt the transatlantic flight. The
nonstop fight, it is estimated, will
take twenty-four hours.

France Plans World Rail
Line, Bordeaux to Odessa
tunnels Under English Channel and Through Vosges
Mountains Considered in Connection With Project
to Open Route Into Jugosav Districts

PARIS, Nov. 24.-Jules Gels, who was
recently appointed Under Secretary Of
Public Works and Transport, says in
an interview with "LInformation" that
special attention is being given by his
department to the work of reaching an
understanding with the American gov
ernment relative to the immense
amount of work done in France by the
American army and navy. The special
features under consideration are the
construction projects along the front,
between the front and the seacoast and
at French ports.
NJ Gels says that extensive plans are
being formed for economic offensive,
by which French activities after the
war Will be commensurate with those
exerted by the nation during the
struggle Projects before various COM
mittees include reorganization and ex-
tension Of railway, steamship and canal
routes and electric power plants and
the elaboration of works at docks and
ports
"Studies are being made of plan
for great international railway route
from Bordeaux to Odessa" he says.

the project of constructing a tunnel

Allies Determine
Not to Withdraw
Forces in Balkans
Entente Powers Consider
Sending More Troops to
Dual Monarchy
Tribune Washin1ton B,reou

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-The En-
tente powers have decided, according
to official dispatches received here to-
day, not to withdraw their forces from
the Balkans, and they are considering
the necessity of dispatching larger ex-
petitions to Hungary and to Austria in
consequence Of the spreading disorder
and the tendency of the various ma
tionalities to snatch any territory they
may while the present opportunity
lasts
Concern is felt cvef military prepa-
rations the new Bohemian government
Is making including the mobilization
Of It's army for conquest in German
Austria; on account Of the action of
the Rumanians in Pennsylvania, be-
lieved to be supported by the Ruman-
ian government, in making war upon
the Hungarans; on account of the
clashes between the Poles and the
Ukrainians, and on account also of the
Jugo-Slav tendencies to cause trouble
Tor Italy in the execution of the terms
of the armistice granted to Austria,
and lastly on account Of differences
which have arisen among the South
Savs, including the Serbians.
Significant in this respect is what
has already taken place in regard to
the surrendering of the Austro- Hun
garian fleet to the Allied Powers. The
Italian admiral, Signor Cagni, says an
official naval cablegram received here
to-day, who had been charged with the
duty of supervising the performance
by the Austrian navy of the naval
terms Of the armlstice, found his work
hampered by the so-called Jugo- Slav
clements, which accused him of having
damaged the interest of the Jugo-Slavs.
In order to put stop to such OBJ
structive tactics Admiral Cagni re-
quested an inquiry and report by all
Allied admirals in the Adriatic, and the
report, signed by Yaton for France,
Bullard for the United States and Kelly
for England, was cabled here to-day.
1t says:
"The naval representatives Of the
Allies met at Pola on the 14th Of Novem-
Der. They declare that they fully ap-
preciate the dispositions taken by the
Italian admiral under very difficult cir
cumstances, and in the name of their
respective governments they thank him
for the wav he has accomplished his
task"

construction necessarily would be held.

The conference, says the newspaper,
will hurry forward to settlement Of
the main outlines of the peace treaty,
which will be signed as soon as pos
sible, and arrangements will be made
for some sort Of an International police
