FOREIGN OIL INTERESTS

Mexico City March 5.-An extra

Cabrera had informed him that it

Americas soldiers, he said,

president said, (which critics
OF the league had not observed.

New York, March 5,-Presi-
dent Wilson told the American
people in an address here last
night, on the eve OF his return
to Paris, that he was going
back to the peace conference
to battle with renewed vigor
for creation OF a league Of ma
tions.
"The first thing ! am going
to tell the people on the other
side OF the water is that an
overwhelming majority of the
American people is in favor OF
the league of nations" said the
president.
Speaking after former Presi-
dent Taft had expounded the
main features of the proposed
covenant OF nations, Mr., Will
son told the vast audience
which filled the Metropolitan
Opera House his opinion CT
opponents of the league plan
in America.
No party has the right to ap-
propriate this issue, and no
party will in the long run dare
oppose it, he asserted.

Nations is meant as a notice

PAN GERMAN LEA CUE
OPPOSES NEW REGIME
AND WORLDS LEAGUE

Berlin March 5.-Thc German
national assembly Of the Ebert GOV
ernmcnt is in honor bound to fur
niSh safe retreat on German soil
for former Emperor William and
his wife, according to proclama-
ton adopted by the Pan-German
League at meeting held at Bam-
berg, Bavaria. The proclamation
'further demands that political re-
Sponsibility for the suicidal armis-
tice' OF Nov, II be definitely fixed
and the guilty parties expelled from
the public service.
The proclamation OF the pan
Germans, who apparently learn no.
thing and forget nothing, begins
with the accusation that the col
lapse of Germany was due solely
TO traitors among our own people,
who are openly boasting OF their
achievements and also a lack OF
courage and determination on the
part OF the men at the head OF the
national government and the gov
ernments of the federated states who
failed to stem the tide of revolu-
ton.
The pan-Germans announce that
they have no confidence in the new
government and that they do not
believe that the present form is suit
ed to the needs of the German peo-
pie. The proclamation declares that
the faith of the pan-Germans in the
ultimate realization of league OF
nations is as slender as their belief
in eternal peace"
At their meeting the Pan-Ger-
mans gave General Ludendorff, for
chief chief assistant to Field Mar
lshal Won Hindenburg, a vote of graf
itude and absolved him from blame
for the "momentous measure he was
uforced to adopt at the end of his
military career"
The declagation is signed by well
known pan-German political, indus
trial and military leaders

HINES NOT DECIDED
AS TO RAILROAD COURSE

Washington, March 5.-Director-
General Hines, commenting on the
failure of congress to pass the $780,
100000 appropriation for the railroad
administration, said he had not come
to any conclusion concerning the
governments future course in re-
gard to the railroads.
Other administration officials,
however, are studying the war fin
ance corporation act with a view to
determining whether that corpora
ton has authority to make advances
to the railroads and eliminate the
necessity of premature relinquish-
ment by the government.

Of the war, will be on sale

In annoAncing the issue to-
day, the gostofhce department

on the cid artillery drill ground al OldenburS there are more than one thousand wagons and guns in various stages of wreck, awaiting purchasers Some of the editors have been de. manding that something be done at once to get old baggage wagons and other former war vehicles into the hands of the farmers who are much in need of wagons.
 Article 169 of the peace treaty states that within two months of the coming into force of the present treaty German arms, ammunitions and war materials, including anti-air- craft material, existing in Germany in excess of the quantities allowed, must be surrendered to the govern ments of the principal allied and as- sociated powers, to be destroyed or rendered useless"
 German newspapers say that vast stocks of wagons, field ranges and guns and other material are stored at military posts throughout the country and that the German officials are making no effort to dispose of them. .> .o. ..
