81 talked at length yesterday with
French Senator of great ability and liberal
outlook, who spoke with entire frankness,
only on the promise that his name would
not be used.
"You Will hear sometimes foolish state
ments that Germany has really the
war; he said. OF course, she hasn't, but
neither has France. Two nations only can
be said to have won the war in the sense
that they have emerged from it with bene-
fits more than countcrbalancing their
osses."
"We must not, we are told, press Ger
many too hard" comments The Boston
Evening Transcript" And
eve must not permit France to make her
self safe on her eastern frontier. Instead,
we must leave to Germany her fulcrum, her
base, her secure position for a future at
tack on France; otherwise shall have
Bolshevism in Germany Bolshcvism, which
is being shaken by the Prussian Junkers
before the eyes of Europe a vision of
terror. If this programme is indeed to be
allowed to succeed, how can we stand up
and face our returning Yankee division
when it marches through the streets of
Boston? By such surrender to Germany,
by such a sacrifice of France the American
representative at Paris would have gone
far to mock and to neutralze the heroic
labor and sacrifice of our boys on the fields
Of battle'
Indeed, the question of the seriousness
of the German attitude is looming large,
together with the debate as to how pos
sible German refusal to sign will be met.
AS far as Germany is concerned, Pfesi-
dent Ebert has pointed out her situation
in terms singularly conclusive for con-
quered nation.
at is a matter of life or death for
US, )" he is quoted as saying. "If we give
up the Saar region, Danzig, Alsace-Lor-
raine, the southern frontier and the At
rican colonies, Germany will be unable
to support herself, let alone pay her war
debts'
Thus "Thc Washington Post" sees the
peace conference in the position of en-
dcavoring to eat the cake and have it at
the same time, commenting on the Herr
Ebert statement as follows:
What do the Allies want? Do they want
a strong and prosperous Germany, with a
revived industry and commerce. Germany
that will be able to pay a huge annual trib-
ute to wipe out the claims against her of
the people she has injured? Or do they

cake and have it, If they desire huge in
IDENTITIES, they must put Germany on her
feet; they must open the seas and the
world to her commerce and provide her
with all the raw material She wants.
'If she is reduced, on the other hand to
the role of AN agricultural people, they must
renounce all idea of indcmnitcs and must

further be prepared to see flood of emigra-
ton from Germany. One-third of the pop
ulaton must find refuge in other countries
under penalty of starvation if they should
try to live solely from the soil of the en-
pire. There is, therefore, no tinality in the
Allies conditions or in Germany's accept

conditions are not reconciled"

70 on aura of secrecy that causes the
world TO wonder. Starting with the con-
cusion that the treaty is not yet finished,
the rest merges into conjecture. NO one
Knows what elements are to blame for the
aoIav since President Wilson'S threat
encd disclosures are still unpublished, if
we except his statement that the league
of nations commission has thrown NO
sand in the machinery.
Four main points, however, are still
TO be settled They are:
/. The proper treatment Of
Bolshevism.
2. The territorial claims to be
made on the Central Empires.
3. The amount of indemnity
to be exacted from Germany and
the method of payment.
a. The final acceptance of the
league of nations.
Resultant to the lack Of information
available, optimism and pessimism re-
garding the final result are reflected in
the Paris circles and in turn in the
articles of the correspondents submitted
to the press. Thus on the same day the
following forecasts on the peace confer
ence saw light:
In The Tribune Frank H. Simonds
stated:
1.-THE league Of nations is dead. All
chance OF real settlement of European
problems is at an end. A desperate effort
is Icing made to get together a patched-up
peace within the next ten days which shall
at least put an end to unrest and economic
paralysis in the world
While the staff correspondent of "The
New York Sun" has announced:
Real progress is being made toward
peace treaty, with the indications that it
will be based on practical ideas and not
upon the original conception of league of
nations, which even some Of its ardent sup
porters admit now was an Illusion"
In "The New York Herald" Truman
H. Talley wrote:
Marking time is the way the French
press describes the present tedious prog
ress Of the peace conference. Meanwhile
the editorial writer's are directing their
singing literary wrath against the secret

not yet fully gone into the new
rates, but he expects to do SO soon
and expresses the hope that Pine
Bluff, too, may profit therefrom.
Heretofore only points on the
Mississippi river have profited by
the lower rates prevailing on the
river. The new rate is for freight
shipped from St. Louis by water
to Memphis, and transferred at
that point from water to rail and
is approximately a 20 per cent
saving over all rail rates from
st. Louis.
Shipping by water and rail from
St. Louis will not cause any great
