QUEEN MARY CALLS
WOMEN TO SERVICE
Urges All in British Empire
tO'lIelp Solve Problems of
Reconstruction.

LONDON. Dec. 5.-Queen Mary has
issued the following message TO the
women of the empire:
"a few months ago, at the height OF
our anxiety and strain, I sent a mos
sage in the name Of the women of our
lands to our men fighting for us across
the seas. Now in the hour Of victory
] should like to give a message to the
women of the empire.
During the war they have been
given the high privilege of service,
they have risen to the great oppor-
tunity and have proved their courage,
steadfastness and ability. l have been
allowed to watch and appreciate their
work in many parts Of the country,
and my heart Is full OF admiration
and gratitude for what I have seen.
II earnestly trust that though the
thrill and glamour of war are over
the spirit of self sacrifice and help
fulness which it has kindled will not
waver in the coming days. A new
era Is dawning upon the world, bring
ing with it many difficulties, fresh re-
sponsibilities and serious problems to
be faced.
Parliament has secured for the
whole country greater opportunities
of more thorough and varied educa-
ton, but it will depend upon the
parents whether these opportunities
are used to the full. We all rejoice
that plans are afoot for bringing to
an end the existence Of such bad and
crowded housing as makes home life
almost impossible.
To-day more than ever, the empire
needs her daughters. For in the larger
world OF public and industrial work
women are daily taking a more i'm
portant place. As we have been united
in all our work. whether of head or
hands, in a real sisterhood of suffering
and service during the war, let us
so on working together with the same
unity OF purpose for the resettlement
and reconstruction OF our country"

By the Associated Pres.

league OF nations is receiving much
attention in Spain. At the last meet
ing of the outgoing Cabinet the Min
listers were unanimous in declaring
their absolute adhesion to President

made to the Spanish Government to

special committee to study SPANS
entry into such a league.
The delegates include members OF
the Central University. the Academy
OF Jurisprudence, officials OF the mill

YANKEES REFUSE TO

Dicknan viii Not Deal With
Workmen Delegates.
By the Associated Press.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF OCcU-
PATTON, Dec. 5.-Official recognition by
Major-Gen. Dickman's army of the
German Soldiers and Workmen's
Councils has been denied Every effort
by the delegates assigned to supervise
the affairs in the districts occupied by
the American forces or to have the
Americans deal with them have failed.
Brig. Gen. Smith, in charge OF civil az
fairs, adherng to the policy that he
must treat with the de facto authori-
ties.
Members OF councils who now are
only civilians since the soldier mem
bers departed with the army repeat
edly have called at headquarters to
explain their connection with the new
German Government and to assure the
American officers that their only de-
sire Is to exercise certain supervisory
acts of burgomasters in their gov
eminent. This was the role they had
prior to the entry of the Americans,
but the Americans have insisted that
it is quite enough to deal with one
faction and so long az honest cooper
alton is accorded, this policy will be
continued.
The members OF the councils have
protested that they are not in accord
with the doctrine OF Bolshevism and
asserted that their only desire Is ia
bridge over the gap of the transition
period, which should end in February
when constituent convention will
be held. Until the American forces
arrived there had been communica-
ton with the Government in Berlin,
but the regulations incident to the oc-
cupation have made that impossible
now.
The advanced line OF the American
Army continued its movement into
Germany. 1t had been planned to rest
but the swing forward kept the men
IN excellent condition. Rains and slip
perry roads interfered slightly with
the transport, but the organization
was unimpaired, There is strict ad-
herence to the original orders. The
advance ia being made in such man
rer that the movement might be con-
yerted Immediately into battle forma
ton If that became necessary.

Peace, Baker Believes.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-Secretary
Baker gave 1t as his opinion to-day
that none OF the veteran divisions of
the American Army in France will re-

Of the members OF the American Peace
Delegation, who has been representing
President Wilson in conferences here
now Is fully conversant with the de-
cisions taken by the Supreme War
Council at its meeting at London
which Col House was unable to attend
on account Of illness.
Col. House had a long conference
last evening at his residence with
Baron Sonnino. the Italian Foreign
Minister, who has just returned from
London. To-day Col. House conferred
with the Earl of Derby, the British
Ambassador in Paris, who also at
tended the London meeting.
Baron Sonnino presented the Italian
viewpoint and the general results &C
complished, while Lord Derby pre-
sumably reflected the views of Premier
Lloyd George.
In Accord on the Kaiser.
Col. House probably will have a talk
| later with Premier Clemenceau con-
corning the French viewpoint.
There is complete agreement be-
tween the Allies on all questions. par
ticularly that concerning the former
German Emperor, declared Premier
Clemenceau on his return from Lon
don last night He expressed deep
! satisfaction over the important results
obtained at the conference. The Pre-
mier said he had been deeply moved
by the magnificent reception given
him by the British.
Naturally the results of the confer
ences in London have not been dis
closed, but 1t Is generally understood
that the War Council discussed the
| disposition to be made of the former
| German Emperor and the former
| Crown Prince and the compensations
! from Germany for damages committed
| in various countries. No definite &C
ton was taken In the absence of an
American representative and definite
! decisions will await the arrival of
President Wilson.
Hoover's Appointment Held Up.
The question of the appointment of
Herbert c. Hoover as Director-General
| of allied relief was presented in writ
| ing, but a number of details were not
settled and the entire question is held
in allegiance. The appointment of an
interallied commission on economics,
finance and shipping tonnage also was
discussed tentatively, Some objection
has arisen to this plan on the ground
! that the commission would have great
power in the control and distribution
of raw materials, and might lead TO
| the establishment OF an international
committee. which would take the
place of legislative control over ex-
ports and raw materials.
! LONDON, Dec. SIT is understood
that the proposal to appoint Herbert
c. Hoover, the American Food Admin
. istrator, Director General of allied re-
! lief was discussed at the conference
of the Premiers Of France, Italy and
| Great Britain, which has been in prog
ress here. In the absence OF repre-
sentatives of the United States 1t was
decided that no action would be taken
until President Wilson arrives in
Europe.

LONDON, Dec. 5.--The commandants
Of the notorious German prison camps

mites and brutal treatment, have been
exposed in the latest report of Sir
Robert Younger, Judge of the High
Court of Justice, and his committee,
which has been dealing with the
treatment by the enemy OF British
prisoners of war.
The committees report says II is
not in the great events, involving at
least one case OF homicide and which
will receive special attention on some
other occasion, that the true signifi-
canoe of the German horrors is to be
found, but in the petty tyranny con-
stantly exercised. the punishment of
men for so-called offences, needless re-
strictions and the overbearing conduct
Of the German administration.
Gen. Haenisch Accused.
The report says that in 1917 Gen.
Won Haenisch, in charge of the prison
camps, carried out a system of
coercion in conjunction with Capts,
Niemeyer, twin brothers, comman-
dants respectively at Holzminden and
kalusthal.
Gen. Won Haenisch is termed an UNI
reasonable and cruel man, endowed
with a violent temper. He took every
