PARIS. March 22.-Thc council of
ten frutlessly discussed the Polish
question to-day, and it grows clearer
from the German attitude regarding
Poland, as indicated by the breaking off
of the Posen negotiations, that the
Germans believe that while they lost
the war on the Western front they have
gained in the East.
The military party obstinately clings
TO this view, and there are many ind-
cations that orders of the Weimar gov
eminent will receive little obedience.
The council to-day arrange for the dis
patch Of the first contingent of Polish
troops. which includes an appreciate
number Of French officers, but this was
the only decision reached
The whole question of Polish boun-
daries is still in allegiance, waiting for
the commission report, which has been
referred back again, the commission
having stated 1t was unable TO see
reason for change. The chief point
at issue is the giving of Danzig to Po-
land, which would bring within imme-
date occupation the railway running
from Danzig into Poland
There is a note of gloomy unbelief
struck in an article signed by Charles
Saglio. which appears in "L'Oeuvre"
and is captioned ITO Remake the World
in Fifteen Days
Saglio in general review of the
work of the Council of Ten says the
heads of the allied governments con-
stituted themselves directors Of the
people of the world, thus undertaking
responsibilities the more heavy since
they were assumed without consulta-
tons with nor mandates from the par
liaments.
Surprised in November. 1918, by
victory which military authorities had
not anticipated before the spring of
1915 the victorious nations had no gen
cral plan when first gathered around
the green table at the Quai d'Orsay,
and in the main each brought to the
conference his personal views and the
especial interests of his nation.
Russian affairs are more obscure
and dangerous han ever. In Ukraine
the Allied delegation is unable even to
make the ukrainians listen and we do
not even know whether we can send
troops into Danzig. In Turkey nothing
has been decided regarding Syria, Ar
menia or the claims OF the Greeks
while the fate of Constantinople is still
big Interrogation point. The realm
Of the Serbs. Croats and Slovenes have
not been officially recognized, save by
the United States, aud the conflict be-
tween Rome and Belgrade grows stead
lily worse"
Saglio declares that the public would
be less concerned with the lack of sue
cess in these matters If it could feel
that the conference had clear views
and firm resolutions regarding the
more immediate war questions.

British Public Asks
Steam Heat Replace.
Archa ic Fireplace
English System Declared Ad.
lnirable Invention From
Every Aspect Except That
of Utility and Economy

LONDON, Feb. 26 Correspondence
Of The Associated Press)rThe govern
ment. plan to build 100000 houses for
workmen within the next few years APP
parently has aroused the British pub
lie to demand abolition of the archaic
English fireplace, and substitution of
the American steam heating system
for homes. The demand is voiced by
numerous contributors to the London
newspapers.
"If | had my way | would at once
send a commission of British archi-
tects to America and Canada to learn
building houses and equipping them,"
declares one writer.
"One fundamental defect runs
through practically all British houses
of whatever grade" he continues.
"They depend for their heating on
fires. Now the English fire is an ad-
mirable Inversion from every aspect
except that OF utility and cleanliness.
IT is cheerful, companonable, soporific,
sentimental-an altogether delightful
thing to have in a room. 1t has, how
ever, two vital drawbacks, it does not
heat and it is abominably dirty
81 mean that it does not heat prop
erly. Its radius is so limited that over
half an average English drawing room
is not used in winter time. To move
twelve feet away from the fireplace is
to leave the Tropic of Capricorn and
enter the Arctic Circle, while as for
sitting comfortably near the window,
the thing is inconceivable
Does Work Poorly
"ln the second place, even within it's
meagre radius, fire never does it's
work thoroughly. It never warns you
all over. One side is grilled, the other
is underdone. Your face is aglow,
your back ripple Of iciclcs"
The writer called attention to the
acknowledged fact that in spite of the
labor Of carrying coal for CRATE fires
fully 80 per cent of the heat is wasted,

ce1ence made by the accused was that
the requisition was: not made out in
proper form and without respect to the
dignity of the German officials CON
cerned.
To-day's defiance o. American mill
tary law by leading officials was The
most Migrant of series Of misdemcan-
ors. Thefts, violations Of LIQUOR regu-
lations and failure to observe the mill
sary law by German civilians generally
during the last three weeks are some
OF the things charged against the Ger
mans by the American authorities.
Becoming Openly Defiant
Since the beginning or March the
Germans seem to have discarded the
thin veneer Of obedience and docility
so evident a the beginning Of our oc-
cupation and are now becoming more
and more openly defiant.
In the week ending March ! there
were 179 provost court trials to deal
with enemy offenders. In the week end

the first encounter between Anne ricar

occurred few days ago.

New Powerful Liquid Fuel
Developed for Airplanes

WASHINGTON, March 12-Develop-
ment too late for use in the war Of
a motor fuel which adds ten miles an
hour to the speed of airplanes and has
possibilities for use in automobile
racing was announced to-day by the
Bureau of Mines. The liquid, combi-
nation of benzol and cyclohexane called
nectar, costs about 81 a gallon, so
while of military value it is not re-
garded as practical for commercial
purposes at present.
Another combination of benzol and
gasolene has been found to be more
powerful than gasolene alone, and IL
expected to prove of value in industry.

Vienna Tells Karl to Go

COPENHAGEN, March 22.-The
Vienna government has once more
notified eX-Emporer Charles that it is
desirable that he quit the country, but
no pressure has been brought to bear
to force him to leave, according to
kilograms received here from the Aus
trian capital. 1t is declared that the
maintenance of court at Eckartsau,
which it has been said eX-Emporcr
Charles would hold. is contrary to the
new constitution adopted by the Ma
tional Assembly.
Some commentators insist that the
former Emperor convert his renuncia-
ton of the throne last November into
an abdication for himself and the
house of Hapsburg.
