Especial Cable Dispatch to ]

Paris. Jan l9.--The inaugural
plenary meeting of the greatest of all
peace conferences was a grand feast
of Journalism Everything, down to
the commas in the speeches, was car
ried out according to plan. Not that
spontaneity would have been possible
or practicable at such gathering. 1t
might be attended with convulsive
consequences.
Shock for the Old Diplomacy.
The presence of the press of all ma
tions--not in single file but in batal-
ions--was sufficiently staggering Jar
for the old diplomacy for one day,
even though nothing was said that
didn't ring familiarly on the straining
ears of the assembled Journalists
But the occasion was vertably his
toric. It was symbolic of the new era
for which the world hopes. Men who
sat in that stately apartment with gor-
geous trappings. its glistening crystal
chandeliers. its richly carved and
gilded panelling and under its paint
ed ceiling, included several of world
wide fame for their share in attaining
victory, whether in the cabinet or the
field, and to inspect them at leisure

Clemenceau was early on the scene,
accompanied by Foch and Pichon, and
his quick, impatient movements, his
vigorous gestures with his gloved
hands-he was the only gloved indi-
vidual there-the rapidity with which
he got rid of tiose who approached

Ameronsen, Jan. % "wednesday,
by the Associated Press. Saving
wood continues to be the chief occu-
patton of the former German emperor,
who spends several hours each morn
ing and afternoon within the castle
grounds working hard, while several
men servants respectfully hand him
logs and then pile the short length
in heaps for use later in the furnaces

The shortage of coal in Holland
compels the burning of wood, plenti-
ful supplies of which are obtainable
from the surrounding estate. william
Hohenzollern works so well that he
is able TO furnish the entire consump-
ton of the castle fires. The former
emperor scarcely ever speaks to his
attendants while he is at work.
No Skaters Allowed.
The two moats which encircle the
castle are covered with ice sufficiently
thick to bear skaters. The villagers,
however, have been given to under
stand that the accustomed permission
TO skate in the .noats cannt be accord

the castle.
There are various reports in circu-
lation concerning the alleged inten-
ton of the former German empress
to return to Potsdam. These are
based on her expressed desire to end
her days at Potsdam, which she re-
CARDS as her home. The former en-

Washington, Jan. 23-Testifying
before the senate committee investi-

Mr. Stevenson also said evidence

attention to a recent editorial In the
New YORK Stats Ieitung, which he
SAID endeavored tn convey the idea
that American soldiers overseas had
come to regard the Germans in
light other than that of enemies.

ment IN this country, Mr.. Stevenson
testified, Included John Reed who.
he said, was the consul general MT
New York Of the Russian soviet gov
eminent, and Albert Rhys Williams
OF New York. schools FOR the teach
ing of the BolshevilS doctrine to chill
dren have been established by the

and that Leonard d. Abbott of New
York was head OF the school for the
teaching of rauicalism
Money for the Bolshevik propa-
ganda work, Mr. Stevenson asserted,

five days for letter to get to us, and
we cannot write only when we are
staying a few days in a place, so we
can mail them. And the Y. M. G. A.

paper so we can write letter or two.
Now we have sick call twice day
and one hour drill. The infantry is
doing some guard duty and drilling.
We have not had any cold weather
here yet. 1t has been trying to rain
the last couple of days, but they say
they have some snow in January.
So by the way things look it will
be hard job to say where we will
spend Christmas and New Years and
how we will spend it, but if it is not
very good we all can be thankful that
it is not worse and we are we'll. So

1t was a fine trip down the river
for the banks are high rocky cliffs or
mountains with vineyards on the
sides of them and the hill sides are
banked up with stone so they get
about every foot of the land. And
in some of the towns along the river
are old castles Of years ago. We

banks of the Moselle and the Rhine
and is wonderful place We stayed
over night there. The people have
treated us fine and all seemed to be

along real we'll. They give us apples
and cider and take nothing for it,
but they have not any to spare. They
will need it all.
The other day we walked to town
about one mile away. It was fine

an old castle in it. We went to it and
found that an old man had charge of
it and that we could enter for the
price of ten pfennings. So we went
to the top of it. Was about ninety
feet high and its walls were about
five feet thick and they say it is
1000 years old. 1t was sight worth

Area of Unemployment Has Spread.
Situation in District De-
clared Good.

Telegraphic reports reaching the
Department of Labor through it's en-
ployment service indicate that the
area of unemployment, which last
week was thought 10 have reached its
maximum. has spread farther and
now embraces practically every COM
munity of any size in the country.
Reports received at the Office of the
employment bureau here show that
the unemployed in the United States,
according to carefully tabulated fig
ures. now total 2eo.s31, as against a
total of 265.000 reported the previous
week-a gain OF %, 531.
AS against such unemployment the
total of labor shortages amounts to
approximately 5000. General labor
conditions in New England. where
strikes involving thousands of textile
workers have been fairly general, are
fou1d bad by the department. Boston,
New England's largest city, reports
$500 unemployed, but federal agents
here believe the figure Is much larger

caused considerable unemployment in
