SOVIET MEETING
Senator Thomas Says Power
fuI Organization Is at Work
for Purpose of OverthroWing
American Government.


Washington, Feb. 3.-Criticizing a
meeting here yesterday at which the
Russian soviet government was
praised, Senator Thomas of Colorado
democrat, declared in the senate to-
day that a powerful organization
whch he did not name, was constant
" at work to overthrow the Ameri-

member of the house was "conspi-
cuous" at the meeting, but that sem
ate rules prohibited him from nam
ing him.

We're present.

NO ANNEX ALTON NOW
ACCEPTED IN PRINCIPLE

Special Wireless DispatchD


Special wireless DispatchD
Paris Feb o,-The principle of
no annexation was carried TO its log
ical conclusion by the bureau OF the
peace conference when, will the sup
port of the British and French dele
gates, President Wilson's system of
manufactures was put on the official
record. All that remains is tho work
ing out of the formula under which
the administration is to he conducted.
and this is to be under two heads.
First, mandatories for uncivilized col
onies. and second, mandatorics for
civilized colonies.
Under the first heading comes the
Pacific islands, mandatories for which
are to be fixed by the league of ma
'tions under geographical, military aud
economic lines. Under the second
heading come such colonies as those
in Asia. where the peoples are TO be
given an opportunity to express their
preference for the nation which they
desire to exercise mandatories.
Neither provision applies to the
definitely nationaliZed areas along
the Dalmatian coast and claimed Wy
italy. Arrangements for their dispo-
sal are to be perfected later, due to
the fact that they are occupied by two
definite and opposite nationalities.
The formula and discussion in no
way applies to the disputed bound
aries, such as those between Poland
and Czecho- -Sloyakia, where the tech
nical point of territorial ratification
only is the issue,
The progress made today was
steady advance from the initial vic
tory won by President Wilson two
days ago against then annexation
claims of Italy and Japan, and the
problems are rapidly disappearing, as
an orderly system of stewardship is
being worked out.
The other two important affairs of
tho conference are adso being adjust

fer Germany, where its members are
distributing themselves for their in
Vestigation.

cr, Edward n Hurley, Vance MeCor-

Paris, Feb. THE demands for
reparation by different countries have
mour:ed to unimaginable heights.
1t Is. understood in well informed
quarters that Great Britain is claim
ing ton for ton for her mercantile
marine Losses. This was roreshad-
owed in the recent ministerial declara-
tions Also reparation for losses
caused by air raids will be demanded.
It had been the impression that the
peace conference would settle repara-
tion claims on pro rata basis. Now
rumor has 1t that President Wilson
takes the position that France and
Belgium are entitled TO prior consid-
GRAFTON on obvious grounds of justice.
and that their demands should be
satisfied before taking up the claims
of other nations.
The British contend that the de-
struotion of merchant tonnage by Ger
man submarines, having been con-
trary to international law and civil
lied usage, ton for ton reparation Is
merely an equitable means of settle
ment, and that claims on that ground
should stand in the same category as
those of Belgium and France.
The matter is in the early stages
of consideration, and Will, perhaps
come to the front in another week

Questions Decided Friday at

London, Feb, 3.--The abolition of
submarines as warsnips may be de-
cided upon by the league of nations
committee during the coming week,
according to the Paris correspondent
Of the Mail. 1t is said that this was
one of the several understandings
which were reached during the con-
ference on Friday between President
Wilson and Colonel House. General
SHUTS and Lord Robert Cecil, and
probably will be proposed among the
first planks of the platform at the
sessions this week, during which 1t is
hoped the leagues constitution may
be definitely formed
British and American delegates
representing the biggest naval pow
ers are said to have sounded all ma
val opinion on this point
After scrapping the submarine"
the correspondent says, sit is under
stood that recommendations will be
made that the economic weapon take
the place of all other weapons in fu-
ture wars. Respecting disarmament
the league will endeavor to work out
a scheme by which the armaments
of all nations will be gradually cur
tailed to a point decided upon as be-
ing necessary for defense. The league
will try to arrange this early enough
to insure that the financial savings
thus gained will pay the interest on
the worlds war debt.

FORMER WAR MINISTER
CONFIRMS STATEMENT

Paris, Feb. GIavas. )--Adolphe
Messimy, the French minister of war
in 1914, in an article in the Matin to-
day concerning the declaration made
in the chamber of deputies Friday by
former Premier Viviani. says that the
government on July 80, 1914. was
obliged to solve the problem of pro-
tecting the frontiers while avoiding all
possibility of aggression so as to give
proof of the love of France for peace
and to thtow the blame for hostili-
ties on Germany. 1t was only for this
reason and not to obey the Injunction
of the socialists that the government
decided to establish a safety zone of
ten kilometres in order to keep French
patrols from entering German terri
tory and thus give Germany no ex-
cuse for aggression.
General Messing says he took full
responsibility for the order to with
draw. Marshal Joffre, the minister
says, was convinced of the diplomatic
importance of the measure and raised
no objection to 1t. The results. he
concludes, were as expected and the
German government was forced to
send out false reports to neutralze the
effect on German opinion.

creased efficiency which may proba-
bly, te expected from private initia-
tive, 1t can permit a moderate partici-
patton in any profits in excess of that

1t is recognized that it is indis-
pensable that capital invested in rail-
roads shall yield a sufficient return
to attract additional capital. But the
proposed plan of private management
involves the whole subject in so much
confusion and uncertainty as to make

certainty and injury by the govern-
ment itself, assuring once and for all

Mr.. Hines will continue his testi-
mony tomorrow.
y do not believe thereais anything
substantial in the argument that a
five year extension of government
operation would necessarily mean gov

II believe there can be a form of rad

pervision. including government rep
