PARIS. March 17.-Great interest
has been aroused here by the re.
ported plan to send couriers from
America to supply conference circles
with information concerning the true
state of public sentiment in America
regarding the League of Nations
project.
In this connection It might be noted
that the special cable dispatches to
the French press from America bear
marks of censorship. This has been
going on for some time. The press
here Is significantly devoid Of criti-
cism Of the President or of the league
plan.
There was an article yesterday In
the democratic NoureHe by Andre
Cheradame insisting that the Ameri-
can committee did not reflect the
American viewpoint. 1t was appar-
Wv ''' many paidSldpllS III tne ar
ticle had been eliminated.
Admittedly 1t would be difficult for
the American couriers If sent here
to achieve their object save by per-
sonal interviews. The President
friends always have insisted that
even II there were committee OF
Senators here they would have no
official status and would meet with
embarrassment, which they did not
believe the Senators would be willing
to subject themselves to.
IT the Presidents plan goes through
there would be but little time for
American feeling to find expression,
as the pact after getting Its finishing
touches this week will he jammed
into the preliminary treaty as an ap-
pendix for the Germans to sign by
April |. There is even doubt now
as to whether the plenary session will
be allowed to pass on it before it
goes to Germany.
lhe President at n meeting OF the
American economic experts held to-
day approved their stand for COM
plete economic freedom after the war
and opposed any suggestion of limit

Prince Lichnowsky May
Be German Envoy Here

STOCKHOLM, March 1.-THE
Berlin correspondent of the
Svenska Dagbladet mentions
Prince Charles Max Lichnowsky,
German Ambassador to Great
Britain at the outbreak Of the
war, as the probable Ambassador
to the United States after peace
has been concluded.
Prince Lichnowsky created a
sensation in 1918, when in a long
article he blamed Germany for
having started the world war, and
asserted that Great Britain did
everything possible to avert
hostilities. As a result Of this
the Prussian House of Lords ex-
PEELED him from membership in
that body. Recently it was re-
ported that Prince Lichnowsky
would head the German delega-
ton to the Peace Conference.

Disaster in Rails.

CHECK ON LABOR ASKED

LONDON. March 17.-Sir Eric Geddes.
Minister without portfolio. in introduc-
ing In the House Of Commons to-day a
Dill to establish a Ministry of Trans
portation said that with the exception
Of the street railways the transporta-
zion system OF the country financially
was in a i-paralyzed state.
Only the municipal street railways
were prosperous. Before the war rail-
way capital returned AZ per cent: to-
day there was loss OF from TO per
cent. Before the war canals were
earning IN per cent, while to-day
they were worked at a loss and were
heavily subsidized.
Roads which cost the country $780,
100000 a year were earning practi-
cally no income. while harbors and
docks were earning 8 per cent.
Strain Proves Too Much,
The transportation systems were
physically ell equipped to meet the
strain of the demands made upon them,
partly owing to lack OF men and capi-
tai during the war. The country had to
face the fact to-day that with the rail.
ways there would be a loss of more
than s1,250,0o0 daily. while the Govern
ment was pledged TO continue its guar
antees for two years
II transportation was not to continue
to run at the cost OF the taxpayer, there
must be real transportation policy.
and the Government had come to the
conclusion that some measure of uni
ned control was necessary. There must
be some body which should be RESPONSE
Bile for the transportation policy. 1t
was only the Government, the Minister
declared, which could take over the no.
sition.
In the present conditions, said the
Minister. II would be criminal to per-
nit the old system OF competition. One
block OF capital must do the work, and
not two in competition. This would be
bad news for some interests, but it was
n cold bath which the country must
take.
The Government must in some form
or other have say in the conditions
under which labor worked and with re-
gard to the discipline to be expected in
trade unions The State must step in
at once and make possible an economic
balance, which was impossible in the
present condition of things.
Plan 10 End Empty HauIsRe,
To get rid OF empty haulage. contin-
ued Sir Eric, the Government would take
over the power to acquire privately
owned cars on the railways. which con-
stituted almost half the cars employed.
During the next two years tho same or
ganization would be continued that ex-
listed during the war. but thereafter
there was certain 10 be some central con-
troi-commissions on which the Govern
ment and labor would be represented.
Il would also be necessary to have a
central control over docks and canals.
Naturalization of railways might care
for the present conditions-he did not
know. He looked upon naturalization
as a means to an end which might have
to .he adopted lraly. ...

BERLIN, March Is (delayed) British
and French forces. according to re-
ports received here. have advanced
their outposts from the limits of their
present bridgeheads at Cologne and
Mainz respectively. The French are
reported to have penetrated into the
corporate limits Of Frankfort
A special despatch from Frankfort
TO the Norddeutsche AH0emeine Zeit-
un0 says that the French in advanc-
ing to Frankfort have occupied the
Ridda bridge across the Main in the
western part of the suburb OF Rodel-
helm. The French age said to have
posted notices saying that the passage
was closed to all traffic.
Another report says that the authori-
ties OF Remscheid. northeast of Cologne,
and Kronenburg. northwest of Remscheid.
have forwarded a protest to the German
Government at weimar and also to the
German armistice commission against
the occupancy OF the towns by British
forces.
The Daily Mail of London printed on
Saturday despatch from its CORE
spondent with the British army to the
eject that acute unrest prevailed in the
whole Westphalian industrial region.
The correspondent said It probably
would be necessary to enlarge the Brit
ish bridgehead In that direction.
Frankfort, one of the most important
railway centres in Germany. has a popu-
lation of about 100000. The city is Just
east Of the French bridgehead centred

Remscheid and Kronenburg are in the
Westphalian industrial district, between
Elberfeld and Dusseldorf. They are just
a few miles outside the limits OF the

PRUSSIA TO GUST
BUREAUCRAT RING
Conservatives Urge President
to Rule New State.
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, March l5 (delayed) The
Prussian Government has begun a gem
eral housekeeping among the higher
bureRucrats left over from the former
regime who are charged with indulging
in a policy OF obstruction and even out
spoken hostility to the measures Of the
present Government.
start was made this week with Herr
Lobell. former Prussian Minister OF the
Interior, and George Michaelis. former
chancellor. The oflcial axe is hanging
over the political necks of scores of
privy councillors and department direc-
tors who fancied themselves indispensa-
BILE in the bureaucratic regime.
During the debate TO day In the Cham
Der of the new Prussian Diet over tho
question of provisional constitution
for Prussia. a Conservative speaker ar
gued in favor OF providing for the office
OF President OF Prussia in the new docu-
ment. This was objected to- however.
by Paul Hirsch, the head of the present
Cabinet, on the ground that to create a
state executive would set an unfortunate
example to the other federated states
and likewise would be interpreted as an
attempt to create a substitute for a
monarch.
The Assembly postponed vote on the
demand of the Independent Socialists
that the state of siege in Berlin he
raised. The vote will be taken on Mon
day.
The party lineup in the new Diet
has not yet been determined. The pres
ent Indications point to a working bloc
OF the Majority Socialists and Demo-
Gratis. who Jointly have majority Of
m hn hnh
Minister of the Interior and temporary
head of the Government. and Albert
Suedekum. the Minister of Finance. are
mentioned as candidates for the Pre-
miership of the new Cabinet.
More than score of members of the
Diet were unable to reach Berlin in
time for the opening sessions because
Of transportation difficulties.
A Gordon OF steel helmeted troops was
thrown around the Diet buildings to
protect the opening session. Only hold
ers OF credentials which had been
minutely examined. were permitted to
pass, after having been carefully
searched for weapons. This applied
even to the women delegates. What
was once the defiant citadel OF Prussian
reactionaries has been converted into
democratic Parlta ament.
There was a keen discussion in tba
House over civil war in Germany. The
Socialists proposed a parliamentary in
vestigation. but this was negatived by
the Minister OF Justice. who later an
nounced that the damage done to the
Berlin police headquarters amounted to
10000, 900 marks.
one OF the delegates made a specch
in favor OF the Hohenzollerns and pro-
posed that Prussia should restore the
monarchy. The Socialists protested
but the greater part of the civil parties
applauded the speech.
The Independent Socialists demanded
the confiscation Of the private fortunes
OF the former Emperor and his family
