National Guard and as a clubhouse
by veterans visiting the National
Capital is recommended in the omni-

sacrificing their lives in France the
committee said. II would fit in with
the general plan of public buildings

sum is to be expended on the building.

German Chancellor Boldly AS
sails His Opponents in
Assembly.
SPEAKS FOR JUST PEACE

hF the Associated Press
WEIMAR. Thursday. February, ID
Philip Scheidemann, the chancellor in
the new German government, today
showed himself able to handle con-
ficting demonstrations in the new ma
tional assembly with no sign of being
intimidated by the widest opposition
or moved by the severest heckling. No
speaker since the meeting of the ma
tional assembly was opened has been
SO outspoken toward his opponents.
One of the incidents of his speech
was his reference 70 Austria's desire
to join Germany. He said:
We desire no reluctant adherents
and by the same token nobody wish
ing to join us should be prevented"
There was almost a threat in his
warming:
The entente is able to force any
kind of peace on Germany, but IL it
is an unjust peace seventy million
people in their hearts will never for
give or forget"
Adolf Groeber, centrist. followed the
chancellor, leader of the next
strongest party and like Herr
Scheidemann, emphasized work" as
the watchword of the new republic.
He protested against the slowness IN
arranging for peace. the severity OF
the armistice conditions, the French
desire for annexations, the Polish de-
mands and plans to put former EN-
peror William on trial as being all a
part of a scheme to humiliate Ger
many" He declared the league of ma
tions would contain seeds of new
wars unless constructed on principles

With the formal agreement of the
committee drafting the constitution of
the league of nations. President vii
son has scored the greatest diplomatic
victory in history, in the view of many
following the diplomatic battle that
has waged fast and furious during the
last few days.
Europe and the world generally are
to get a new deal as the result of the
agreements effected, and the old ideas
of the balance of power and of mill
tariSm as remedies for the world ills
have been definitely relegated to the
discard.
This is the confident belief of the
highest statesmen.-w who show no hesi-
fancy in congratuiatiug President
Wilson and America.
Though there have been differences
as to concert In working out plans
and these have at times been heated
new atmosphere prevails among
the peace conterees today as the re-
suit of getting this thing behind
them. They realize that through the
league the remaining work OF the
conference is infinitely easier, as all
viii be settled along the broad lines
of the lea que and by the league. pre-
venting any chance of unsolva bic
snarlS.
France is still expected to make
reserva tions regarding international
forces and protection TO France. but
that the league will be the same as
that announced TO the world today is
taken for granted.
That even France will withdraw all
objections, in view of the unanimity,
is generally regarded as certain.

Allied prisoners coming from German
camps are held up indefinitely in Aus
tria because of the lack of coal TO
move the trains. There are several
thousand Serb prisoners in Vienna
who are particularly delayed because
they refuse to leave the cold open
boxcars for more-or-less comfortable
camps. No amount of persuasion can
induce the Serbs to enter a camp.
Iney nave had enough of huts and
anything resembling an Enclosure.
The prisoners have plenty to eat
but the delay is extremely regrettable,
because many of them are old men,
weakened by years of prison life in
German Sflesia. There are miles of
loaded cars standing on the sidings.
