SWISS OFFER
 AMENDMENT ON MONROE D0CTRINE:
Put Before Conference of Neutrals and Announced
 This Morning.

Paris, March 22-Because of Presi- dent Wilson's desire to attend the sessions both of the Council of Ten and the League of Nations commis- sion today's Peace Conference pro- gram was reversed. The council met at II o'clock this morning while the League of Nations body, whose ses- sion originally had been set for 10 o'clock this forenoon, will meet at 8 o'clock this afternoon.
 In connection with the League of Nations commissions session to con- sider the various amendments to +he leagues covenant winch have been proposed, the text of the amendment proposed by the Swiss delegation to the conference of EeutraIs was given out this morning. It reads:
 This covenant shall not be inter
 preted as containing anything con trary to the sovereignty of states ex cept insofar as the state Itself, by ad-
 herring to the covenant, shall consent and the covenant itself shall not in terfere with the internal affairs of any of it's members"
 While the amendment does no mention the Monroe Doctrine, it l! tacitly understood to apply to it. Som' 1 of the members of the American dele i gation are inclined to accept ar i amendment on such lines, feeling tha l it would meet the demand of tn l United States for some declaration il l the spirit Of the Monroe Doctrine.

APARTMENTS GUT
 ID MINIMUM
Principle Is Recognized by Conference of Neu-
 trals.

Paris, Friday, March 21.---Delegates to the conference of neutra1s devoted considerable time today to the discus sion of the article of the League of Nations Covenent which provides for coercive measures against a state breaking relations with the League without submitting it's grievances to the executive body of the League. Amendments were prepared stHpufat- ing that force might be used only in case of necessity, that 1t might be i brought to bear only after economic i pressure had been insufficient, and that small states might decline to take warHI1e steps.
 1 Lord Robert Cecil, who presided, said that if small states were allowed
 to refrain from military action, the forces of other states should be given
 permission to pass over their territo-
 ries.
 Premier Venizelos of Greece de- clared incidentally during the discus
 sion that purely defensive alliances
 would be allowed under the League
 of Nations Covenent.
 ] The principle that ar-n4aLae nts should be reduced to a minimum was recog- lnized by the conference.

BAKER MAKES
 PLEAFOR WILL SON
Says Difficulty is With Us We Have Not Looked
 War in Face.

Fl Paso, Tex, March 22-'fWhen President Wilson comes back from France with the Treaty of Peace con- taining the League of Nations design ed to save the world from a repetition of that awful catastrophe through which it has just passed, I am going to be for that league, and I will not be alone" Secretary Newton D. Baker declared here last night in an ad- dress.
 "Over in France they are writing a peace treaty to end this war" he continued. "TVe have a champion there pleading that the constitution of League of Nations, which will sub stitute intelligence and arbitration for war; be included in it. This is not a partisan question in this country and rightly so. The most effective advo- cate of the League of Nations Is ex- President Taft, whose speeches have been eloquent in its behalf. It Is a question of making such arran ngement that will unite the forces of fntelh- gence of mankind and substitute ar bitration for force in deciding inter national questions.
 Shall we have League of Nations founded on secret covenants or a league in which every nation may be a member of g. body formed for the purpose of bringing together the in- | telligence of mankind on interna- tionaI disputes and thus ending warp l f"The difficulty with us is we have not looked war in the face,' he con- cIuded.

SAYS OSBORN
 WENT TOO FAST
Witness Tells Coroner West port Auto Fatality Due to
 Reckless Speed.

If George Osborn had not been driving at reckless speed, his auto mobile would not have overturned and killed him Thursday night, Jo- seph Winnick testified before Coroner Phelan today. He said Osborn's car was going at a rate of from 55 to 60 miles an hour when the accident hap pened.
 The witness declared he was in another car, which had stopped for repairs. He looked around and saw the Osborn machine approaching. There were two other automobiles go- ing toward Osborn and in order to avoid them Osborn steered suddenly to the right. In doing so his car wheels struck the trolley tracks, caus- ing the machine to oyerturn.
 Winnick said the tracks at this point, project about three inches above the surface of the road but he did not think, if Osborn had been driving more slowly, that his car would have turned over because o1 this projection. Other witnesses told about the same story as Winnick. Coroner PheIan will visit the scene of the fatality before making a find ing. Osborn had been employed as an automobile mechanic in this city.

. It is held to be unnecessary for President Wilson to be in Washington when the call for such a special ses- sion is issued. for this may be cabIed from Paris in advance of his depart ure from France MT. Wilson, how ever, has reached no decision regard ing the question and is reserving the shaping of his course of action until he has g. more definite idea of the date of his return to America.
 The President is also keeping in touch with the development of senti- ment in the United States toward a League of Nations. If the situation appears to him to demand such ac-
 ton, it Is not unlikely that shortly after his return from Europe he will make an extended speaking tour, pre- senting his view of the issue directly to the voters in the states whose gen. ators are opposed to the ratification of the League plan.
 Washington. March 22.-It was sa8d unoficially at the White House Eo- day that President Wilson might Ire turn to the United States by May 1, i leaving Paris immediately after reach l ing an agreement on the principal
 features of the Peace Treaty, without waiting for the actual signing of the | document.

SOLDIERS WRITE
 MANY LETTERS
Nearly 22,O00,000 Sent from Bordeaux Alone in
 February.

Washington, March 22.---since the
 American troops overseas have
 stopped fighting they have taken to
 Iette1,-writing and remembering their
 friends at home with souvenirs from
 the battlefield in France. This was
 indicated today by 9 post office de- partment announcement that the
 amount of mail from the Anertean
 expeditionary force had increased
 more than 20 per cent. since cessation
 of hostiHties.
 The volume of souvenirs sent back to the United States by parcels post
 may be measured by the ton, the de-
 partnent asserted and they consist of all manner of odds and ends. Curios sent by the soldiers are shell cases, parts of rifles and revolvers, ibayonets,
 uniform buttons and small fragments of demolished airplanes.
 Captured German Helmets, how ever, are the most prized token. Near ly 500,000 of these have come through the mail since the war began Postal requirements have been re faxed so that they now can be sent unwrapped with only a, shipping tas for the address.
 | Soldiers who cannot obtain sou venirs to send to all their friends a ] home content themselves with writ 1 ing letters. In February nearly 22,- 1 O00, 900 letters were sent from Bor- | deaux alone. Frequently twelve te l fifteen letters a day have been sen 1 by a soldier, and one private estab | lished @ record by writing 30 in : 1 single day.

HOPE FOR PLAN
 THAT WILL END
 PLUME QUESTION
Want to Surmount Difficul- ty in Way of Completion
 of Peace Work.

Paris, Friday, March 21-(By the Associated Press)-Hope was ex- pressed tonight in Peace Conference circles that by the first of next week a. plan would be presented which would surmount the difficulty in the way of completion of the Peace- making work of the conference raised by the threat of Italy to withhold ap- prova1 of any Peace Treaty not defin- itely settling the Itauan-Jugo-S -SIav controversy. President Wilson has the whole question before him, and it Is from him that the plan upon wE1ch hope of 8 satisfactory settle ment is based Is looked for.
 The action of the Italian deIega- t1on. taken as a unit, amounting vir- tualIy to an uItimatum directed to the Supreme Council, gave great concern to the other delegations today. Al though the Supreme Council was oc-
 cupied with G. consideration of the Western Polish boundary, the pre- naters, themselves, with Colonel E
 Nj. House, were engaged in trying tC find some solution to the very diff cult problem presented by the action of the Italians.
 The Supreme Council Is called upon indirectly, in deciding the issue, to
 pass upon the validity of secret treat ies negotiated in London in 1915, some of which at least are held to be
 at variance with MT. Wilson's four
 teen points," The council is also en- borrassed by the probable effect ot any decision 1t may make in the i Plume case upon Greek and French 1 claims to the smyrna coast, and or 1 Polish claims to Lemberg and Danzig 1 It is expected President Wilson vii 1 present some plan of solution by Sun. 1 day. One possible solution of the i problem now under consideration l. 1 (Continued on Page Two.)

You have just, wise judges, and po- 1icemen, yet you shut the door of yo,lr houses Italy also relies upon the Justice of the League of Nations; but first she wants the door Of her home shut France feels likewise and asks the Allies 10 give her strong frontier. A choice must be made between Italy and the Jugo- slavs As Italy has been loyal to her Allies in the common cause until the last. so her Allies must be loyal to Italy. We rely upon France and the United States, but especially upon our own dear England"

The cause of these restgnations is stated to be the failure of certain manufacturers, s.gnatory to the War Labor Board agreement, to raise shop committees in accordance with the terms of the contract.
 The resignation is also induced by the failure of the government to des- fgnate 8 chairman for the local board.
 The labor representative hope by this action either to compel govern ment to intervene to improve the situation, or to compel the abandon ment of program for collective bar gaining as laid down in Bridgeport.

Discussing reconme nda!tions made by Senators Lodge of Massachusetts and Knox of Pennsylvania, Republi- cans, that consideration of plans for the League be deferred until after peace has been established, Senator Pomerene said the League and the Peace Treaty were so intertwined that one without the other would be worthless.
 T recognize that the proposed con stitution is not logically arranged" he continued, "that it is poorly phrased and that it is written in the involved and somewhat suited form that char acterizes many diplomatic documents.
