MARSHAL FOCH'S PLAN
MAY SETTLE PROBLEM
OF ALLIED FORCE FOR oC-
CUPYING RHINELAND.
Supreme Council Studies Dis
position of 100000 Russian
Prisoners in Germany.

Paris, July ia. P.)-The SUI
preme council of the peace confer
ence today discussed the disposition
of 100000 Russian prisoners of war
still In Germany. These prisoners
were held by Germany at the request
of the allies after the armistice and
have been fed at the expense of the
entente powers.
AS many of them are badly in
fected with bolshevism, Holland and
other countries through which they
would go on their way back to Rus
STA have objected to giving~ them
passage for fear of bolshevik propa-
ganda. Moreover 1t Is held they
would be either forced into the boil
sheyik army or killed IL sent home.
The expense of maintaining them in
Germany, however, is becoming bur
densome. The council today was I'M
able to reach a decision and referred
the question to its military advisers
for report.
The council received a protest from
the sheik of Adm. Asia Minor, con-
corning atrocities which the Greeks
are alleged to have committed upon
Turks when they landed there 1t
was decided to send mission of
military officers to investigate the
charge.
The council appears to be firm In
the conviction which is held by mill
tary officials of the entente powers
that William Hohenzollern must be
punished as it would be impossible
to secure punishment OF military,
naval and civil officials in Germany,
who are charged with atrocities, IL
the former emperor is exempted The
lives Of these officials and officers is
to be supplied the German govern
ment soon, but as yet there is not
knowledge here of the preparation OF
it.
The councils appointment of Gen.
f. H. II. Allenby. of the British army,
to the duty of adjusting differences
between the Greek and italian forces
in Asia Minor is regarded as the best
means of disposing of friction there
because it is believed the Turks will
be impressed with the united action
of the allies. 1t is hoped the Greeks
and Italians will withdraw behind
lines which Gen. Allenby will out
line and that the Turks will cease
when they realize that the
Italians and Greeks are not in charge
of the occupation of Asia Minor.
The problem of the force of occu-
patton in the Rhineland province,
arising from the withdrawal of a ma
jority Of the British and American
troops, was also considered by the |
council today. The question of prin-
ciples involved has been settled and |
all that remains to be decided upon is
the exact number Of electives and |
the proportion of the force of occu-
patton to be provided by each Of the |
allies. Marshal Foch's plan may |
serve as a basis for the settlement of |
this question.

!. the conferees " Senator Harris. ofSNe-
| braska. has asked for documents YNlr-
porting TO show that Japan and Ger
many were In negotiation during the
progress of the war. The purpose OF
his remarks is to show that Japan was
not so faithful an ally as is supposed
| and that she ought not to have been
rewarded at the expense of China 1t
is true there were efforts made through
roundabout diplomatic channels by Ger
many TO tear Japan from her associa-
ton with the entente. But 1t Is also
true that the Japanese government
never encouraged the negotiations and
upon one occasion publicly revealed
Germany's intrigue.
There were on the other hand mill
tarist sections of Japanese public opin-
lon friendly to Germany who for po-
iiticai reasons were constantly assail-
ing the Japanese governments friend
ship for the allies and lauding Ger
many's efforts in the war. Pro- German
sections of public opinion. ii is con-
/ tended. however. were present In near
~ all the allied countries. including the
!, United States.
Unfavorabe Impression,
But while Mr. Wilson argues that
Japansis merely receiving rights which
Germany previously exercised in Shan
tung and that but. for the war there
would have never been any change in
the status OF those leasesIand economic
privileges, nevertheless. it is evident
that acceptance of the Japanese demand
Tor Shantnug on penalty of her re-
fusat to adhere to the league of ma
tiops and peace treaty has produced
an unfavorable impression even among
the presidents most ardent supporters
The president believes the league of
nations will present opportunities for.
revision of the. Shantung settlement.
but 1t would benefit Anglo Japanese
relations far more If Japan today were
to announce definitely the time when-
she would return to China the rights
she received in Shantung. or If she
would negotiate an agreement with
CHINA which would enable the latter
to sign the peace treaty. Some volun-
stary action BY Japan is confidently
hoped for by friends of Japan lest the
excellent progress toward close rela-
tions which began with the coming OF
the lshi mission suffer as "a oonse- /
quence OF the present debate 9
Suggestion Not Fruitful.
1t is known that the American mis-
sion urged the Japanese delegates to
issue some statement on the subject
before President Wilson left Paris but
the suggestion was not fruitful of re-
suits. Perhaps when Japan herself re-
Allies the extent of the damage being
done her by the present controversy, a
statement of her intentions with re-
spect to Shantung will be issued.
whether 1t will come in time to head
off joint resolution by the senate ir- |
respective of the peace treaty de- |
nouncing the Shantung settlement and |
urging that the league of nations make |
the problem matter of immediate con-
is hard to foreteI. Certain |
ly the temper of the senate is such that |
even though the league of nations and |
peace treaty may be ratified, an ex- |
preston on the subject of Shantung |
seems inevitable

Youth Shot in Attempted

Philadelphia, July 19.--Mr.. and Mrs,
Frank Holfemer were not informed un-
I'll Thursday at their Buffalo home that
their son. Anthony William Holfelner,
Sunday night while attempting TO rob
n University OF Pennsylvania fraternity
house. kilograms had been sent to

In the, hope OF hearing their sons

last night asking him to call them on
the telephone Louis Holfelner. a
brother. in Buffalo, answered inquiries
over the telephone and sobbed when he
heard that his brother had been killed
as a burglar
ut is terrible news" he exclaimed.
II shall have to break 1t as gently as
possible to my father ndlmother. They
do not know that he is dead"
The brother said that he would come
Immediately to this city and take back
the body for burial in Buffalo.
Young Holfelner was a second-year
medical student at~the university. He
was said to have been unusually bright.
Caught while robbing fraternity house,
a professor shot him as he was es-
Gaping with his booty. For twenty-four
was mystery. Then former room
mate identified the body.
Search OF his room by the police re-
vealed. they say, about $4,000 worth
of plumber stolen from fraternity houses
boarding houses. and other places. On
the bed was $25. A restaurant had
been robbed of that sum and the police
believe that Holfelner robbed the res
taurant. went to his room with the
money, and then visited the fraternity
house where he met his DEATH
Holfelner is described as having been
a conscientious student by day and
dasing burglar at night. Professors In
the university medical school charac-
terized him as a quiet student and
plugger."
One noted psychologist said that Hol-
felner was probably a victim of demen-
tia praecox. Detectives believe that he
was a kleptomaniac, because he did not
dispose of his booty He had an aver
sion to society. though he was passion
ateiy fond Of music and played a piano
for hours at time.
SO successfully did Holfelner veil his
midnight role of burglar that the fam
lily in whose house he roomed did not
suspect that he slipped from the house
to rob after they had gone to bed They
believed that the student, who habit,i-
ally retired to his room early with the
excuse that he must study, was burning
the midnight oil over textbooks. None
of his friends had the slightest sus-
picion that the soft spoken, shy student
was the thief who baffled the police
and many amateur detectives.
