ARMY INSURANCE
BUREAU WORKING
ALL RIGHT NOW
Colonel Lindsey Tells House
Committee That During the
War 1t Failed 10 Function
as It Should.

Washington, Jan. l0.--Col Henry
d, Lindsey, new director of the war
risk insurance bureau, told the house
rules committee today that the or
ganiZation had not functioned prop
erly, but that now, for the first time,
authority was concentrated in the
director, where it belonged.
Congressional investigation would
not be opposed By the bureaus ad-
minist~atiee +offi.ers,, he said The
committee agreed unanimously to
await development of his plans before
taking steps toward an investigation.
Colonel Lindsey said he was organ
izing SO that correspondence would
be answered Immediately.
Certificates to all policy holders
will be mailed out By February l. but
all cannot be delivered by that time
because of erroneous addresses. On
the floor of the house LATER Republi-
can Leader Mann read correspond
ence exchanged by him with Secre-
tary Baker regarding the war risk m
surance and pay of soldiers
THE inefficiency of the bureau of
war risk insurance would be a bur
lesque if it were not a tragedy"
wrote Mr.. Mann.
In reply Secretary Baker said the
war department had jurisdiction only
in cases where soldiers allotments do
not carry family allowances, paid by
the government and that payment Of
allotments by the war department are
not in any way in arrears"
Regarding pay of soldiers, Secretary
Baker said troops in the United States
were paid promtly every month, but
those overseas were in the fighting
line from July to November and that
amy delay in their payment can be
properly attributed TO consideration
of their service"
He added that sick and wounded
men returned from overseas were
paid in part on arrival at ports or
hospitals, and payment now was be-
ing made on their personal affidavit
as to amounts due them.

CATION of the naval blockade, after
consideration by the American peace
delegates, have been referred to Of

other naval officers charged with the

view to securing such modifica-

by government agents without open<

The situation in Poland and Czecho
Slovakia does not permit the for
warding of relief except across Ger
man territory The most direct route
probably will be from the eastern
ports of the Baltic which give close
connection with the interior Of Po-
land by way of the Vistula river and
the railroads toward Warsaw. This,
it is said. would not involve anv een-
eral raising of the blockade of west
ern Baltic ports. but only of those
ewing ready access to the needy Pol
ish and Czeoho- -Slovak regions.
1t is anticipated in some quarters
that one of the objections which rnav
be raised will be that sreh supp'tes

destinations owirg to the needs in
some enemy sections and also that

Especial Gable Despatch to World
Paris, Jan. 10.-By the arrest of
Capt. Ladoux, former Chief of the
Counter Espionage Bureau in Paris,
the French judicial authorities appear
to have connected another link in a
long chain of treason in France. La
doux already is implicated more or
less directly in several affairs of in
telligence with the enemy now being
examined by Paris courts martial
A document he is said to have de-
stroyed or mislaid contains proof of
reasonable dealings of one or more
prominent French politicians, one of
whom is even now awaiting trial be-
fore the High Court. SO far the docu
ment, or rather, photograph of it,
for the original Is still missing, Is still
a mystery in part because of its cy-
phered message portion. which reads:
you'll deposit fund In - Bank"
Another phrase comprised eight
letters. This is thought to refer to
CaillauX.
Ladoux, who has held many i'm
portant posts during the war, the
principal of which was the one re-
ferred to above. and whose financial
status was declared recently to be ir-
reproachable, is thought to have So
creted the document in order to shield
many of his supporters, possibly some
of his chiefs.
Great interest is shown by the
French public in these affairs of trea-
son which have suddenly become
prominent again. The general opin-
ion seems to be that all cases of in
telligence with enemy espionage form
one big plot. aimed at bringing
France and her allies to look before
the Central Empires and accept peace
terms which would have been i'm
posed by the latter.

for Proportional RepreSen-

Countries.
FIRST CONFERENCES
ABOUT TO CONVENE
President Vetoes Plan to Con-
suit With French Before the
British Delegation Arrives in !
France.


Paris, Jan. 10 (by the Associated
Press) .-Presiden Wilson IS giving
considerable attention to the problem
of safeguarding the rights of minority
nationalities, in the peace treaty. The
territories IN question are occupied by
mixed races. The race having an evil
dent majority will determine the fu-
ture of the regions in question. but
when that is done the peace settle
ment, it is held must also include
complete guarantees for the protec-
ton of minority races.
Thus, should Italy or greater Serbia
have the ultimate possession of Dal-
malta, the rights of both races as well
as of the Mohammedans would be
equally safeguarded.
Some of the methods by which this
can be done, it is pointed out, are pro-
portional representation in represent
ative bodies, by communal govern
ments of the minority race where 1t
has a local majority, and by constitu-
tional guarantees for equal religious
and civil rights.
The subject is considered ono OF
the most intricate of those concerning
race distribution and will affect es-
pecially the territorial aspirations OF
Italy, Serbia, Greece. Rumania and
Poland.
Conference About to open.
Paris, Jan 0.---Conversations
which will lay the foundation of the
actual peace congress are about to
start Suggestions have been made
that the French and American dele
gates so ahead while awaiting the ar
rival of the British plenipotentiarles
'4~fesfueift " ..s.se ,sssvsvar vetoed
that plan. holding that inasmuch as
there has already been SO long a de-
lay, it would be best to wait little
longer to secure the participation of
the British.
The first few conferences between
the Americans, French and British
probably will develop just how much
progress may be expected before
President Wilson goes home next
month.
President Wilson'S feeling. on COM
ing to Europe as early as he did was
that all the entente governments had
made their preparations to get down
to talking peace. 1t is not an over
statement to say that Mr. Wilson and
the American commissioners have
been disappointed in meeting with
delays. Various elements are recog-
nized by diplomats here as reasons
for deferrng the start toward peace
but it seems plain that the influence
of the United States IS about to be
exerted for steps which without fur
ther delay will permit start on the
business of returning the world to
peace basis
Up to the present, all the progress
that has been made has been in Pres
ident Wilson's conferences with Brit
ish, French and italian statesmen.
The most that can be said of these
conferences Is that they have ap-
