! The representatives of the allied

Under the procedure adopted by
the peace congress, the reply of the
Germans to the various clauses of
the treaty, consisting mainly of
counter proposals seeking to lessen
the severity of the allied terms will
be considered by the members of the
council of four, who will digest the
views of the enemy and report back
their decisions as quickly as possible.
This decision is to be final, and Ger

ENCLAND'S BILL
FOR TRANSPORTING
TROOPS $4,000 900
Wilson Makes Advance of 5
Million to Czecho- Slovaks
Committee Hears.

Washington. May 29.-Eng glands bill
for transporting a million American
soldiers across the Atlantic in British
ships is approximately $S2,O0O,00O.
This, and the fact that President Will
son advanced $5,000,00O of his special
fund-and probably more-to the
Czecho-Slovaks, were the two chief
developments of today's hearing of
Secretary Baker, General March and
other war department officials before
the house military committee
The army appropriation bill which
faield at the last congress was un-
der discussion.
The president assisted two sof the
Czecho-Slovak corps" said General
March. "from money at his disposal,
to the extent of five million dollars,
and I think he has given them al
lotments since. so that the Czechs
could get arms. The charge was to
be ultimately against the Czecho-
Slovak country which the allies pro-
posed to organize in Central Europe.
1t is a regular debt like any other
debt between nations"
This, SO far as known, was the
first information congress had bad of
advances of money to the Czechs from
the presidents fund.
The British bill for transporting
American troops caused quite a lit
tie discussion. Brigadier General
Hines, director of transportation. said
Great Britain originally asked $3.50 for
transporting each soldier to France,
but the cost finally was reduced to
1915. Thirty-five million dollars al
Iready has been paid. congressman
asked if the general did not think
| the charge excessive but he replied
he believed the cost of Transporting
| troops in American ships would turn
out to be higher.
| Secretary Baker requested that con-
gress take sup the problem of what
should be done with war projects I'M
completed when the armistice was
signed.
General March, reviewing progress
in rehabilitation, said facilities had
now been provided for the return of
365, 900 men a month and that if the
peace treaty is ratified and an army
of occupation found unneeded, every
soldier in Europe could be returned
by September LIST. The general said
rehabilitation in army camps in this
coutry also was progressing rapidly.
| Questioned regarding the reason
for retaining drafted men soldiers in
| Russia and Siberia, General March
said they were being replaced rapidly
by enlisted men.
Simultaneously with his appearance
before the military committee, Secre-
tary Baker sent to congress requests
for $64,655, 900 additional appropria-
lions for the next fiscal year. He
asked $46,375B00 for the payment OF
the $50 bonus given men when dis
charged from service. and $17.945, 900
for ar1ning and training the national
guard. Incidental expenses would re-
quire the remainder, he said.

CARRANZA REGIME
SHOWS CONCERN
General Angeles First Proclamation
Guarantees Protection to the
Americans.
Washington, May 29.-Villa forces

Washington, May 29.--Villa forces
have proclaimed General Felipe An
geles, provision president of Mexico
and Villa himself, secretary of war.
The move coming at the climax Of
military operations, considered by
the Carranza government so serious
that it has asked the United States
for permission to move troops thru
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, is
regarded here as reflecting a situa-
ton more serious in Mexico than any
since the triumph of Carranza forces
over Villa three years ago Viewed in
connection with the activities Of the
| Felicista forces in Southern Mexico,
the situation is regarded as full of
possibilities.
American government officials are
refusing to comment on the news un-
til they receive official confirma-
ton. There seems, however, to be no
doubt of its authenticity.
To Protect Americans
Angeles reported first proclama-
ton announcing that Americans in
Mexico would be protected is parti-
cularly interesting to officials here,
/ refusal Of the state department to
grant Carranza's request that he be
allowed to move troops through
American territory for the purpose of
protecting Americans in Chihuahua.
Acting Secretary Polk announced to-
day he had notified the Mexican gov
eminent he could not grant the re-
quest unless assurances could be CIV
en- that Americans would be afforded
protection while the troops were in
transit That this could not be done
had been admitted previously by the
Mexican authorities Governor Hob
by, of Texas. declined to authorize the
massage of Mexican troops through
Texas without guarantee of protect

the state department.
Feline Angeles is well known to
American officials through his
services to the French government
during the European war as inspect
Tor of munitions in the United States.
He is held in high esteem by the
French government. and was consid-
cred by the United States government
at the time Of the Niagara Falls con-

Ours is the Peoples Party,
He Says.
MUST WORK FOR
BETTER AMERICA
Recent Activities Have DisprOyen
Most Of "Old SANDER Against
the Party.

Chicago. May 29.-Attorney General
Palmer told the democratic national
committee at a banquet here tonight
that if past achievement assured flu
ture victory the party could write
today the political history of the next
decade, at least.
But the people do not ask What
of yesterday" he continued "They
say What of tomorrow Ours is the
peoples party and We do not deserve
to live if We cannot solve the peo-
pies troubles. Therefore we must
always be progressive, new-fash-
toned democracy.
"The hard won victory of Amer
lean arms will prove but hollow
and unavailing triumph if we do not
make certain that out of it shall come
greater liberty, a better America
and surer peace. To these ends,
the democratic party proposes to con-
Secrate itself"
Reviewing the achievements of the
party since the democratic party was
returned to congress at the end of the
Taft administration, Mr.. Palmer de-
clared it was significant that the
"old ISLANDERS" against the party have
been refuted. He recited the nations
participation in world affairs as ref
utation of charges that the democrats
were sectional in purpose; the tariff
built on the principle of "fair COM
petition;' and the creation of nom
partisan tariff board in answer to al
legation that the party was willing
to say sacrifice the prosperity of the
country to an economic theory and
pointed to the income tax amendment,
creation of the department of labor
and the children's bureau, passage of
the eight-hour workmen's compensa-
ton and federal reserve laws as other
evidences OF party accomplishments
Refuted Slander.
"And the one great SANDER which
they have been fond of repeating
since the DAYS of the civil war was
that we could not fight war" the
attorney general continued. cit was
said that the republican party was
the historic war party and the DEM
ocratic party might have some value
in opposition. but to trust it to prose-
cute great war would be national
suicide.
81 do not put the victory in the
world war in the proud list of demo-
cratic accomplishments. 1t was the
peoples war in peculiar sense. But
I do insist that we shall hear no more
of the old SANDER that the democratic
party cannot be trusted to lead in a
great war. Let history begin to tell
the truth now and it will say that
the common courage of our men and
women. the combined effort of capital
and labor, the joint support of city
and farm, all were welded into an
irresistible force by leadership
never surpassed in the history of
parliamentary government. And that
was the leadership which the demo-
cratic party gave to the world when
it joined it's practical achievements
with it's ideals behind Woodrow Will
son.
