GERMAN PLOT IN
 BERNE IS TINTED
Socialists See Plan to Regain Conner- cial Supremacy in Huns I'm
 deayorS in Switzerland

Paris, Feb. 3.-The Berne socialist conference, to which many socialist bodies in Europe have failed to send representatives, Is the outcome of a. German plan to help Germany re- trieVe her military defeat and escape the payment of just indemnities, in the belief of Charles Edward Russell and William English Mailing, speak ing in behalf of the social democratic league of the United States. Messrs. Russell and Mailing tonight gave out the following statement on the sub ject in the name of the league:
 'AAS delegates of our organization we decline to go to Berne, because, de- spite the pretension that the worlds laborinS classes are represented there, It's principal movers are those in all countries who try to cause peace when 1t would have meant the triumph of imperialism and the ruin of the work ing class democracy
 We note that the General Fedora tion of Trades Unions of Great Britain has no representation there nor the Italian socialist party, representing the majority of the Italian socialists; nor the Belgian socialist party, nor the American Federation of Labor; and that forty socialists in the French chamber of deputies allowed their delegates to go only under protest and under the threat that their action would be repudiated unless the Schied- emann group was excluded.
 We also note that one-third of the Berne delegates are recognized by the Bolsheviki as sympathetic with their desires.
 We believe that the Berne confer ence IS designed by Germany to re- deem her military refeat and escape the payment of just indemnities by in- trigues."

Hrench Socialist Wants Investigation To Settle This Point at
 Once.

Berne, Switzerland, Feb. 3.-Albert Thomas. the French socialist and for mer member of the war council of fered a motion at the socialist con- ference today, placing at the head of the program questions of the respon- sibility for the war, and the fu- ture of socialism. The motion fol- lows:
 The Berne socialist conference, considering that a cataclySm dcliber- ately loosed by a few men has in f1icted upon the world nameIess calamities and threatened 10 harrow up civilization itself, and considering on the other hand, that all hopes of a just and lasting peace depend upon the possibility of founding a society of nations; that there can be no so- cety of nations without trust and that international public faith would re- main forever compromised if the gov ernmeIts which have violated it could escape punishment for their crimes and if socialist chiefs who made themselves accomplices of these gov ernments were not branded outcasts by the Internationale, has decided to inscribe at the head of it's agenda the question of governmental respon- abilities in the causes of the war, that of violation of neutraIities winch had been placed under the guaran- tees of Europe and that of the re- responsibilities of socialists involved.
 "On the other hand, the conference, considering that the future of social greatest dangers by new tendencies ism in the world is threatened with called Bolshevism decides to place in the second position on it's agenda the role of democracy in the establish ment of socialist order"
 A night session was held.

THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE
 PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphatc to Put on Firm. Healthy Flesh and
 to Increase Strength, VigOr and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
 and treatments which are continually
 heinz advertised for the purpose of making
 thin people heshY. developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hoIlows and
 angles by the soft curved lines of health and
 beauty there are evidently thousands of ! reA and women who keenly feel their eX- @cessive thinness
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods, Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among drug-
 gists s bItro- phosphate, which ie ihe%pen- sive and is sold by Clark X Braincrd Tn New Britain, and most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back.
 By& feeding the nerves directly ana ny supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements bitro-phosphate quickly produces q welcome transformation in the appcarance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing F.
 This increase in weight also carries with 1t general improvement in the health Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany e excessive thiuneSs soon disappear. dull eyes become bright. and pale checks glow with the bloom of perfect health.
 CAUTION. Although bitro- phosphate is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleep lessness and general weakness, it should not. owing to it's remarkable flesh growing properties. be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.

AMERICAN ENVOYS
 ARE WELL PLEASED
Express Satisfaction at Progress Being Made Toward Society of Nations
 By Peace Congress.

Paris, Feb. 4.-The American dele- gates to the peace conference, it is said. are satisfied that the project for a. society of nations as it will emerge from the committee now handling the subject will not conflict with or inn pair the validity of the Monroe Doc urine.
 Indications are that the plan will provide that the landing of troops with hostile intent on the soil of an- other nation will automatically con- stitutc a state of war between the az gressor and all the states in the society of nations, unless the period of proba- tion has expired before the landing. The method of making such a war would be left to each state for settle ment.
 No consideration has yet been given by the committee to the question of freedom of the seas. it is learned, on the theory that regulations on that subject will be unnecessary if a so- Cicty of nations is created.

OUTLINES PLANS OF
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Education Should Be More Universal and National Armaments Should
 Be Reduced.

Paris Feb. 3.-Leon Bourgeois, the French proponent of a, league of na- tions, transmitted today to the society of nations commission recommenda- tions as to principles which had been submitted to him by the Inter-Allied asSo citation for the promotion of a league of nations.
 One of the recommendations urged the establishment by the society of
 nations of an international commis-
 sion on education. Other recommen-
 dations were of a military nature. One
 of these would bind the associated
 states to prohibit the sale of arms and
 munitions now possessed or which
 may be ultimately manufactured to states outside the league, while an other would prohibit the trade and manufacture of all arms and muni- tions of war by private establishments. It was also recommended that the so- ciety of nations shall fix the number of men to be enrolled in the military and naval forces of each mem mber, having regard only possible aggreS- sions from states outside the league or in revolt against it. It adds that the associated states should impose upon the Central Powers by peace treaty, limitation of armame ents and the control of their manufacture so as to permit members of the society Of nations to reduce immediately and substant tially their military estab blish- ments.
