SPEED WORK ON
PEACE TREATY
ENJOYS Face Most Critical
Week of Con-
ference.
PRESIDENT CRITICISED
Some Frenchmen Declare He
Does Not Sympathize With
Frances Heroic Struggle.


Paris, March 24,-U. n. S.)--This
is critical week in the peace con-
ference. The general aspect has be-
come more grave as a result of the
failure of delegations to realize the
extreme growth of the bolshevik SEN
timent throughout the world. In
Great Britain, President Wilson is
being attacked because, 1t is alleged.
he Is trying ito save the face OF the
league of nations"
In France some shafts have been
leveled at the president because, it is
declared in some quarters, he does
not sympathize with Frances heroic
struggle and because he has not Wis
tied the devastated regions. But the
president is already on record as ex-
pressing the greatest sympathy for
France and her sufferings.
Working on Treaty.
Every effort will be made this week
to complete the first peace treaty. in
cluding the constitution of the league
of nations and agreements on bound
aries and indemnities. so that they
may be approved and submitted to
Germany within the following week.
President Wilson was apparently
much refreshed today in consequence
of his motor trip on Sunday and was
ready to plunge into a great mass OF
correspondence. Later In the day he
was to confer with Herbert Hoover,
head of the interallied relief COM
mittee: Vance Mccormick, OF the
reparation commission. and others OF
the American experts.
It is understood that the president
is urging that all possible speed be
made in revictualng Germany. not
only to relieve actual distress, but TO
indicate to the German people that
everything possible is being done to
carry into effect the recent arrange
ment made at Brussels.
Another session OF the supreme
war council was called for this after
noon. and. despite his full program.
it was expected that President will
son would attend it.

FIRE ON SUNDAY.
Heavy Detonation Shakes Ia
BILE Where President Is
Taking Lunch.
EXPLOSION OF MUNITIONS
Visits Battlefields and Graves
of Fallen American Heroes.
Pathetic Journey

Faris, March 24.-U. n. S.)-Presi
dent Wilson was actually under shell
fire during his trip to the trench
battlefields Sunday. but at no time
wass he in the slightest danger
The incident occurred while the
presidential party was leaving Sois-
sons. Luncheon had been eaten at
that place. and while the visitors
were still at the table the sound OF
explosions broke out. One heavy de-
tonation in particular shook the table
and ratified the dishes. An ammuni-
ton dump had caught on fire and .he
shells were blowing up.
AS the party was leaving scissors,
It was held up by about 100 polius,
who advised Mr.. Wilson not to make
any attempt to cross the territory
just north of Soissons because of the
explosions.
The president minimized the dan
ger. and told the chauffeur of his
motor car to proceed. Finally the car
left the road about half from
the burning ammunition dump.
The exploding shells and the rattle
of small arm ammunition blowing up
sounded like an American Fourth of
July celebration
The trip from Paris occupied
twelve hours and was replete with the
greatest series of human incidents
in the presidents career.
The first stop was made at a gun
emplacement near Coiney. The presi.
dent personally inspected the en-
placement which resembled q great
turn table in an American round
house.
President Wilson was the object
of much curiousity throughout the
day, and while lunching at scissors
more than a hundred poilus crowded
about the windows of the dining
room

BERLIN HAS VERSION
Credits Hungarian Revolt to Russian
Bolshevki.


Berlin. March 24.-tA, P.)-That the
seizure OF power by the Hungarian
communists Is the result of Russian
bolshevik missionary work and the
financing of the movement with Russian
rubes seems apparent from the history
of the movement. Bella Kun Cor KuhnD ,
the new foreign minister, probably was
the man who formulated the commun
ist proclamation, spent long time in
Russia as a prisoner and there made
the acquaintance of Nikolai Lenine and
Leon Trotzky. He was originally
chosen to organize the Spartacan- boil
shevik movement in Germany. but
went instead to Hungary.
The Hungarian socialists would have
nothing to do with Kun and he there
upon founded the communist party.
Of the other leaders of the communist
movement. Maj. Geory, who is a
grandson OF the 1sfS revolutionary
Geory, and Mai. Gezy. also a member
of an old Hungary family, likewise has
been in Russian captivity and there be-
came infected with bolshevism, They
were participants in the plan to form
communist army Of 10000 men in Hun
gary.
George Ranassy, also one OF the lead
ers in the communist movement, was
arrested last February. charged with
bringing 10000, 600 rubles from Russia
to Hungary to be used in forming a
communist army. He and other leaders
are likewise accused OF receiving large
sums from the Russian Red Cross.
Before the war Bella Kun. the Hun
garian communist foreign minister was
an instructor in the law school of the
Francis Joseph university at Klausen-
burg. Trau~F wanna. II Was reported er-
roneousiE nom Budapest during the
disorders there late in February Kun
had been lyuched boy those opposed TO
