PEACE CONFERENCE

Until Now, U. 5. Represented

Effect There.
By J. W. T. Mason.

(Written for the United Press.)

feat of Germany 8 ambitiOIA
The entrance of the United States
into intimate discussions of European
affairs has had disquieting effect up
on the nerves of Europe's statesmen,
Americans are apt to be uncon--.,us Of
the enormously disturbing influence
the United States could exert Un Ls.
rope balance of power. Never before
in the worlds history has a great ma.
tion reached the maturity of its growth
while holding aloof from international
alliances.
For this reason the participation of
Americas peace delegates in the worS
of rocasting Europe has in it an ete
mcnt of the unknown, which Europeans
have been regarding with mixture OF
awe, uncertainty and fear.
1t is becoming increasingly apparent,
however, that direct inspection of the
young American giant, in the person Of
President Wilson, is beginning to reas.
sure the uneasy continentals. They are
gradually convincing themselves that it
is not the purpose of America to run
amuek in Europe.

chancellor, IN an interview, declared he
knew of no provision in law upon which

''Wc have separated ourselves from

provision in law upon which Wilhol

Asked if he took an optimistic view
of the future, Ebert replied:
"Certainly--as far as possible for a

heritage and finds itself placed be-
fore such a terrible tangled situation.

Portland, Oregon, of $l8,500,
He has confessed, the police say.
The arrest was effected through the
cleverness of Mrs. Lola Baldwin former
police woman Of Portland, who recog.

city in an automobile.
Mrs. Baldwin saw Davis passing in
an expensive automobile She comnan.
decred a jitney and followed him. Fin.

him, engaged him in conversation, and
signalled policeman.
Davis, who is married and who is fhe
son Of a minister in Portland, va. al
ployed by the bank for a brief period
before the robbery.
Soon after the money and bank 3 pa
pers were missed, an attempt was made
to find Davis. His wife said he had
left her before daylight that morning
after leaving $4,000 with her. This
money she turned over to the bank.
She said Davis left in the carr nom
ing, returning later with a suitcase. He
then kissed her good bye and gave her
the money.

the junkers hope to retain enough land
to provide an income that will enable

The Spartacus group, led by Karl

setting up an entirely social" gov

Awaiting Developments
The great mass of Ber,srers. as well

patiently, expecting developments of
the heceSSSry support OF provisional
government with constitution that
would enable them to participate in po-
litical affairs.
The bourgeoisie and the newspapers,
demand stronger action from. Ebert and
Haase, but probably would support any
government capable of insuring peace,
order and food.
The revolution seems to have elimi-
mated the word "verboten from the
German language. There is an atmos-
phere of lack Of restraint wherever one
goes. Everyone is disposed to do just
as he pleases.
