BOnDEN'S SPEECH
 CRITICISES DELAY
Believes Return of Troops to Their Homes Should Be
 Speeded Up.

Paris. Sunday, Feb. 16.---(By The Associated Press. )--Premier Borden 6 speech here last night, in which he criticised the delay in consummating g peace while the troops are anxious to return to their homes, has made an undoubted impression here. The same v!u,. is said to be taken by some Americans while the British are not indifferent to the demands of their territofta1 contingents, which are sup ported by the labor element of Eng land.
 Stephen Pichon, in discussing ob- stacles to an immediate peace today, said there were many reasons why the treaty could not be signed at once, even though the League of Nations project was out of the way. Many is sues that would form the basis of peace, he said, were being carefully studied. Among them is the disposi- ton of many of the fragments into which the former Austrian empire has been divided, and another is the treat ment to be accorded Bulgaria.
 The French people, he added. want peace, but they realize the danger of precipitate and unsa tisfactory soIu- Hons. He agreed with Premier Bor- den that there should be no unneces- ! sary delay but did not share his opin- ion that time had been wasted at the

TANCLE IN
 DALLAS GO. MO.
Bonus Paid to Promoters Of Hypothetical Railroad Cause of Dispute Waged for 4S Years.

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 17.---The sur render of former Judge J. s. Evans, to begin his jail sentence for contempt Of federal court has added another chapter to the tangled history of the fight to compel a county in the Mis- souri hills to pay a bonded indebted ness for a railroad never constructed. It was in 1871 that Dallas county, with other Missouri and Kansas com munltieS, saw visions of tremendous industrial development. Strangers ap- peared with a pen and paper rail- road from St. Louis to Fort Scott, kan.. and Dallas county voted S225 GOO bonds as a, bonus to the promoters.
 The road was never built, and Dal- las county's paramount issue" was born when the first interest payment fell due. In all political campaigns, candidates for county judgeships have cried, We will refuse to pay the bonds." After election successful can dtdates have gone to the hills to avoid taking action.
 The bonds eventually went to an eastern capitalist who resumed the litigation of his predecessors to collect interest. Judgments had been entered into from time to time in federal court By 1911 the principal and ac- crued interest had reached s1, ,029 O1O, payment of which would take IS cents on every dollar Of valuation in the county, it was said.
 A judgment wss obtained and the federal court direo .d the Dallas coun- ty clerk to call a special election to vote bonds to pay S700G9 cf the inter- est. With that action. the county clerkship was added to t1a' lis. of re- c1use officia1dom of Dallas county. Efforts to serve summons on the jurists were redoub,ed. Posses of dep- uties from the United States Mar shals office in motor cars r-e..c.! along the trails through hills and woods. Others, disguised as fishermen and hunter" trekked through thickets and along creeks without success.
 Federal Judge Van valken;burgh is- sued an order of contempt against the three Dallas count judges last March. Judges Monroe Quigley and J. E. Thomas sought the safety of t.a woods. In the night, de, uties sur rounded Judge Evans home and he was brought into Federal Court where he refused to agree to q bond levy and was sentenced to six months in jail for contempt. The Court of Ap- peals recently affirmed the decision and the Judge, who had been released pending decision, appeared to begin serving sentence.
 Judge Evans, who is now out of of- flee and therefore has no power to act on the tax levy, was taken to Springfield, Mo. Whether he -nust serve his sentence Is still somewhat in doubt
 i Meanwhile, Dallas county Is without a railroad.

COIN. PROVIDED 50,O6O MEN

A table showing the total number of men furnished the army from every state in the Union, made public by the War Department Saturday. shows that Connecticut was well in the front rank in providing men for America 's fighting froces. New York led all states with 367,s64 men, and Penn syiVania was second with 297.s91. Connecticut furnished 5O,O60 men and Massachusetts 132,610. The total for New England was 247.5O4 and inc total for the United States was 757 SPA
 The relation of these figures n tha populations of the various states ac- cording to the census of 1910 is ir- teresting. Connecticut's quota re,re- sents 4-54 per cent. of her popuIatfon in 1910 and the troops furnished by Massachusetts represents 3C7 Der cent. of her population at that lime. Pennsylvania gave per cent. of her
 910 population and New York AT per cent New England as q whole urnished Ar per cent. and is there ore tied with New York South Car 'ina's soldiers are 3.e5 Der cent. of
