FRENCH DEPUTIES
SIGN DEMAND FOR
DAMAGES FROM FOE
Press and Lawmakers ShotU
Displeasure Over Peace

Paris, April 10. - Three hundred
members of the French Chamber Of
Deputies have signed a manifesto, asso-
ciating themselves with the resolution
signed Thursday by the members of
the Senate, in which hope was expressed
that full restitution would be exacted
from the enemy and that the full cost
of the war would be imposed ION those
responsible for the greatest crime OF
history" The resolution said that the
senators insisted that the peace treaty
and league of nations provide legal and
territorial guarantees of sufficient
strength to prevent future wars.
This is taken my many observers, in
Guiding French newspapers. as another
sign of the growing discomfort with the
Peace Conference and its work The
French press also is apparently dscon =
tented over the results of the last two
meetings of the league of nations com =
mission.
"Pertinax. writing in the Echo de
Paris, warns the council of four that
the Parliaments in London, Paris and
Washington not to speak of others, will
not accept "a peace treaty blindfolded. "
The writer adds
THE preliminaries are being elab-
GRATED in secrecy. The council of ten
decided to make the league of nations
the keystone of their work, but at the
latest meeting of the league commission,
as before, all amendments likely to give
it bones. muscle and nerves, notably
those offered by the French, found no
mercy from those great doctrinaires,

audiences in his musical comedies

phia last night and just as unostenta =
tiously slipped out again.
He was scheduled for speech in
Witherspoon Hall on the subject
Eugene Field as Knew Him, and
he tarried here just long enough to
make that speech. In that short time
he exerted his old magnetic power
which stood him so well to hand in
the days of "Erminie" and 1.-The

The large audience which attended
the University Extension lecture cried

and the next moment laughed uproari-
ously at the half-sung. talked

both Field masterpieces.
The old voice was there. the old in
fectious smile. the old serious way OF
saying funny things. Mr.. Wilson had
the audience with him from the start
and took advantage of the fact to make
them acquainted with the charming per :
sonality of Field.
AS he said. II knew and loved Gene

So Little Time for Us:
Five minutes before the speech and

A reporter knocked at the dressing
room door after his speech and heard
an alarmed voice from within exclaim

Told that the caller was of the
sterner sex. the lecturer invited him in.
Mr.. Wilson was just in the act of
taking off his dress shirt and collar,
and every fiber of him bespoke hurry,
but he was as courteous and charming
as if he had been before the fireplace
of his own delightful home in Yonkers
He laughed at the suggestion that he

eral March said, "I don t recall another

Military Question Solved
A report from Murmansk dated
March % said the Onda bridge on the
railroad south of Murmansk had been
rebuilt, restoring communication with
the southernmost post of the Allies.
While the actual situation of the
small commands of the expedition in
north Russia is not known, General
March said the reopening of communi-
cation to the south over the Onda
bridge solved any military question
since it afforded direct line for supply
and re- endorsements. Communication
between Murmansk and Archangel is
being kept open with the assistance of
icebreakers.
General March did not indicate what
the latest reports showed as to the
