a few days One or two Senators, 1t
is said, are pFimihg themselves for a
further attack upon the peace treaty
tomorrow or a little later, with the
Bullitt testimony as the text, but the
intimatiOns that Secretary Lansing
might be impeIled to resign are
smiled at today.
Surprise In Statement.
One of the most Interesting facts
about the whole matter is not the
willingness OF MT. BulIitt to make
public such official secrets as his posi-
tion as an Rttache Of the peace com
mission gave him knowledge, but the
apparent eageFness with which SecFe-
tary Lansing, Colonel House, Henry
White and General Bliss unbHrdened
their souls to this young man. From
his testimony Il seems that every one
OF them rushed to him With their
condolences and that only the Presi-
dent himself failed to appreciate the
value Of his advice or the wisdom Of
his judgment, The President has had
singular success ia sizing up men.
Perhaps he took the ambitious young
attaches measure long before other
members Of the peace mission did.
It might be Of interest to cite the
circumstances VndeF which Mr.. Bull
fitt appeared before the Senate COM
mittee. In the first place, the pub
lie hearings upon the peace treaty
were closed many days ago and the
treaty reported to the Senate. Of
ficislly, the treaty no longer was in
the hands Of the committee and could
not be considered by il unless recon-
mitted by action Of the Senate as
whole. Notwithstanding all this, the
COMMITTEES, or rather q small hand
ful of Republican members Of that
body, assembled to hear the belated
witness, and carefully guided him in
giving his testimony.
No Croas-ExaminatiOn.
There was not a Democrat present
to eross-eKamine the young man nor
even Senator McGumbeF, the Repub-
liean member who is supporting the
league. As q result, that group now
known in Washington as the wreck
! ing crew. had taeir own way and
witness who might. ordinarily expect
savage lgFilling upon cross-exam-
ination was handled with utmost ten
derness. In fact, he seemed to be in
company with, cid and sympathetie
personal friends who stood ready to
applaud his courage, his patriotism
and his fine sense Of personal and
Official honor"

CONSERVATIVES WIN
They Will Be in Majority in German
Assembly With Coalition.

Copenhagen, Jan. 22.-The con-
sentative element will control the Ger
man national assembly, if a coalition
can be effected among the three
parties constituting that faction. it
was indicated by, the latest available
returns from the elections today.
While the majority Socialists appar-
emily will dominate any single party
in the national assembly. they will
be outvoted by the combination of
conservative delegates, even with the
addition of extreme radical votes.
And, as result of suppression of the
recent Spartacan revolt by a majority
Socialist government, it is regarded as
doubtful that the two branches of the
left Socialist and extreme radically
can get together.
The only candidate who appears to
have any chance to replace Chancellor
Ebert is Matthias ErZberger. chairman
of the German armistice commission,
and leader of the Centerist party. He
was elected to the national assembly
from a. Berlin district.
Berlin reports today indicated that
an agreement had been reached to
hold the national assembly in Weimar,
capital of the province of Sake
Weimar Eisenach. (Weimar is located
on the left bank of the lin, thirteen
miles east of Erfurt. 1t has popu-
lation of about $4,000

MANUEL. IS AT LISBON
Former Portuguese King Reported
Back After His Throne Again.

Madrid, Jan. 22.-Manuel II, for
mer king of Portugal. has arrived off
Lisbon. aboard a ship of unknown ma
tionality, according to an unconfirmed
report received here today.
(This dispatch is not confirmed
from any source. Manuel was last
reported to be in England, where he
took up his exile in 1900
Other dispatches said that Manuels
representatives in Portugal had issued
a manifesto in his behalf, discourag-
ing the. leaders of the royalist con-
spiracy- These reports said that Lis
bon is quiet and that military police
are guarding the governors palace.
Premier Barbosa. who became head
of the government following the re-
cent assassination of President Paes,
was reported to have been arrested in
Oporto, where he went to take action
against the conSpiratorS. He was re-
leased after signing an agreement to
adhere to the monarchy.
Contrary advices said that Manuel
had been proclaimed king in Lisbon.
that a new ca binet had been formed
and that the royalist ministers had &C.
cupied the official palaces.
Monarchist forces were reported to
have been completely victorious thru
out the northern provinces.
Valencia was occupied by IL 30 roy
alist troops after brief resistance.
Flags of the republic are said to
have been publicly burned in towns
thruout the country. Many republic
can leaders are understood to have
fled across the Spanish frontier, but
others have been stopped at the boun-
dairy and placed under arrest.
A state of siege has been proclaimed
thruout Portugal, according to some
reports. The radical revolt. which de-
| veloped soon after assassination of

| public and monarchist factions.

NAL emigration was damned up. while
hundreds of thousands of men re-
turned home to fight.
Not All West Movement.
1.-THE movement of peoples is not
solely westward. however. Hundreds
of thousands of Europeans, for one
reason or another, returned from
America to their homes each year.
The war stopped this ebb, particularly
for citizens of neutral countries. Null
tiply this annual emigration by four
and you have a vast army, waiting inn
ity to go back to their home land.
Many of these are dissatisfied with
their position in American society,
where they are regarded as menials.
They expect to return home and buy
farms and become important and re-
spected citizens. Instances of this at
titude are not isolated, but general.
There is also a widespread resent
ment among. the immigrants from
slider Americas rough shod treatment
the incentive for many to return
home There is no doubt that many
European nations are considering leg
islation for the restriction of emigra-
ton, hoping to keep their people at
home. On the other hand, America
and other lands of promise doubtlessly
will instinctively put up barriers, espe-
cially since they desire to protect the
interests of their returning soldiers.
THE peace congress should take up
the problems presented by this situa-
ton and work out comprehensive
plans from the standpoint of the
worlds interests"

who is not ready to go if the call
comes. But isn't it a part of the duty
of our country to see that our man
hood may be ready-that the nation
may give the. equipment? You saw
wooden guns and telephone pole can
non. Damn the morals and conditions
of the enemy as you will, the men
were trained to fight and equipped.
Want Men Six Months.
Don't think the plan 1 urge means
long service. 1t is not necessary. Our
great Tenth division was trained in a
little less than four months. We only
want your men for six months at the
most. Then they will come back bet
than when they went in. 1t is a con-
dition wherein you must realize that
you cannot take everything out of
your country and give nothing.
You don't want war. Neither do
/. But it is coming and the only thing
we can do is to be ready. Give us this
form of training and we will give you
better fathers and brothers. 1t is not

men large enough to meet the de-
mand whenA it comes. I want the

ism is charged against Switzerland.

We can be strong without being ag-
gressive. We can be well trained with

ton was expressed by the late Colonel
Roosevelt when he said, Speak softly,

This is a practical question. This
IS G practical system. We can COM
bine industrial training with military
training. 1t is perfectly workable and
practical.
And now just a word about the
late Colonel Roosevelt When I was
in Europe, the men of all classes
spoke more about him than all other
Americans combined. There was the
deepest feeling that he played the
greatest part toward awakening US
toward our need to go into this war.

They endure only when there is a
community of interests, morals and
ideals There is splendid unity be-

But the terms are not written in ink.
AheS are written IN the blood or hu-
man sacrifice No greater calamity
could come than the breaking up of
this bond of sentiment.
England and France save us the
greatest help and counsel. They gave
US benefits of knowledge and supplied
