Doctors Oppose Training
Soldiers i'm Hospitals

The Red Cross conference on re-
Mobilization of wounded soldiers came
to an end a t the Waldorf yes
terday afternoon. There was a popular
mass meeting at Carnegie Hall in the
evening, but the doctors and other
scientists had concluded their delibera-
tions.
The last problem before the confer
cnce was the date at which yocational
training of crippled men should begin.
Some doctors held that a hospital was
not training school and that it should
be no part of the hospitals dutv to in ~
struct the men in handicrafts and
trades. Others held that mental ac
tivity was so essential to hospital
morale that it should be begun as soon
as the wounded man was able to use
his artificial limbs.
Colonel Frank Billings. chief Of the
dlvlsion OF reconstruction of the
once OF the surgeon general. said:
lhc function of the hospital is
quite distinct from that of an educa-
tional institute, but inasmuch as phv-
slcal therapy often fails to arouse
mental interest, a wel-balanced and
rational programme of curative work
must supplement the physical rehabili
tation'
DR.. Andre Trcves, of the French
delegation, said that industrial train
ing must begin while the patient is in
'he hospital, otherwise he would ac-
qulre the inveterate habit of idleness
Matthew Woll, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, advocated giving
every discharged soldier and sailor one
years pay and. preference Of certain

Anti-Cernan Body Cables to
U. S. Defence Society Its
Congratulations to Sena-
tor Who Opposes Pact

Richard NJ. Hurd, a member of the
executive committee of the American
Defence. Society, yesterday announc-
ed the receipt of Il congratulatory
cablegram for Senator Borah from
NJ A. S. du Mesnil- -Thoret, general
secretary Of the international COM
mttee of Anti German leagues. The
cable, apparently evoked by Senator
Borah's attitude toward the league of
nations, read as follows:
please transmit congratulations
Borah.'
The international committee, OF
which NJ. du Mesnii-Thoret la generai
secretary, represents the most pro-
found anti-German sentiment in
France. 1t includes. it Is said, forty
five anti-Gcrmnn societies in France,
sixteen in Italy, eight in Belgium,
four in Portugal and others in Great
Britain and the United States.
"This statement Of the French at
titude toward Mr.. Wilson's covenant
will be q surprise to the American
public" said Mr.. Hurd. "rhe censor
snip or the government controlled
cables has been SO strict that the
people of the United States have but
little idea Of the real sentiment of
the French people. The fear is wide
spread that Mr.. Wilson's personal in
sistence upon placing first on the
programme, a league of nations, and
only second the settlement with Ger
many is diverting public attention
from the punishment due the German
criminals and the reparation, resti-
tuition and ndemnities due from Ger
many
"The view Of the French people,
who see Germany defiant and unrav-
aged, end hence industrially stronger
than France, is that idealistic paper
offers no more protection to France
than thea impotent agreement of the
Hague tribunal. Private letters from
France say that if Mr.. Wilson's league
Of nations goes into effect, Germany
will attack France within 10 Years
To solve the problem of keeping Ger
many powerless for war spells secur-
ity for France, which Mr.. Wilson's
covenant cannot ACCOMPLISH"

PARIS, March 2l.-Thc negotiations
at Poscn, it seems have been frankly
violated by the Germans, and this i'll
timed failure to comply with the terms
of the renewed armstcc of February
16 has opened an interesting field Of
diplomatic conjecture. In Paris there
is feeling that the conference is moro
and more involving itself in n maze
OF academic abstraction, while the Ger
mans play adroitly upon the weakness
Of the situation.
"The Temps to-day says:
"The solution of the Polish prob
lem should be divided into two phases;
first, fortify Poland and then delimit
her frontiers. Everything originally
pointed to this method. 1t was ncces-
sary to create the quickest possible
guarantees against Russian Bolshevsm
and Prussian bad faith; against the
misery and anarchy that is threaten
ing to develop in Poland itself.
"Originally it ws bclieted the most
eHicacious guarantee of Polish sover-
eighty would be the establishing of
well trained, we'll armed troops: What
would be risked in Fastening the or
ganization of such forces? Poland can
and will only live in complete union
with the Allies. Her fidelity and do
tility are certain"
Another development has been the
summons sent Poland and Ukraine to
cease fighting, in which the conference
pledges itself to hear both sides of the
controversy in Paris. There is attached
tc this the significance that the confer
ence will at this time welcome the
appearance of one Russian government
here, and the question is now asked
whether this finally opens the door to
hearing Of other non Bolshevik gov
ernments.

Macy Men Impatient
To Sturt Sea Flight
Before British Score

WASHINGTO ON. March 21.-Prepara
tions for the attempted fight of a
navy seaplane across the Atlantic
Ocean this spring are going steadily
ahead at the Nevy Department and it
is possible the start may be hastened.
1T has been announced that the navy
plane would not begin the flight for
several weeks. possibly not until May,
but some officers feel that with the
plans now fairly we'll advanced the
department. would not be content to
see the plan carried off by foreign
machine without bending every effort
to be first in the field. 1t now is gen
orally recognized that because of the
direction Of air currents the American
Atlantic Coast is the only feasible
starting place for a transatlantic
flight: This gives the Navy Department
an advantage in time, as a British or
any other European machine would
have to be transported to this coast
by steamship and be set up here.
AS far has become known, pilots for
the navy machine have not yet been
selected. nor has the number been de-
termined. At least two will be neces-
sary.
While the machine that is to make
the flight is capable of carrying fifty
passengers for comparatively short
distance. SO much gasoline will be re-
quired to run the ship that extra weight
becomes one of tae problems with
which the department experts now are
engaged.

to be S65,O00,000, while the railroad ad-

Ordinarily, railroad administration
officials explained, the War Depart

but the aggregate payment direct to
the railroad administration was ar
ranged to aid the administration in
its present financial situation. The
payments also would have been spread
over the next three months in the or

will confirm the peace treaty and re-
ject the league of nations.
Colonel Harvey said in part:
"To those who are familiar with the
attitude of the United States Senate
nothing could be more certain than that
the covenant as it stands will never be
ratified by two-thrds Of that part Of the
treaty making power. The probability
is that despite the Presidents ingenu-
ty in INTERVIEWING the league notion in
the peace treaty the document itself
will be susceptible to discntangling-
to such an extent at any rate as to en-
able the Senate to ratify the portion
bearing directly upon the peace settle
ment without perhaps even passing
upon the remainder concerning the
league of nations
"lf so the league OF nations will con-
tinue to be a subject Of contention and
the President, having staked his all,
both as a matter of present accomplish
ment and as for making definite place
in history, will almost inevitably carry
out his announced programme or
threat, or whatever 1t may be called, of
going straight to the people.
SHOULD he do so the issue thus
raised by him would be so farreaching
and so overwhelming that it would
simply dwarf all other partisan ques-
tions There would be left then no es-
cape for the Republican party from ac-
cepting the challenge of international
ism againqst nationalism, of senti-
mentality against patriotism"
