She was saved from sinking in deep

came to her rescue off Fire Island, and
with the assistance of wrCcking tugs
took her i'm tow and raced for the shore.
Water was gaining in her holds, her

service Germans who have become nat
uralized citizens Of other countries.
At the outbreak of the world war
the German system of conscription
pulled into the service many accredited
citizens of other countries who hap
pencd to be visiting the fatherland at
the time. The power to induct such
men into the German army was arro-
gated by the imperial government upon
the assumption that natives of Prus
sia were Germans, whether they lived
in Germany or not, whether they had
voluntarily severed their allegiance to
the former kaiser by leaving Germany
and becoming citizens of other coun
tries or not, and whether they wanted
TO fight for the fatherland or not.

PARIS, Jan. 23.-The French peo-

A large proportion OF the French
people have for centuries been de-
pendent on wine and brandy crops
for livelihood. Others have been
brought up to regard wine as much
the stan of life as bread, and French
physicians do not oppose this view.
Strict regulation of the liquor in
dustry is favored by the French peo-
pie. not absolute prohibition.

Says World League Was Bigger
Job Than Outsiders Believe

Mingled with detailed objections to the treaty con-
formations of President Wilson for giving his assent tho
the other hand defend his sincerity saying that
creation of the league bigger and difficult task
than those outside the conference appreciate and
that he compelled to sacrifice purpose after
other in order to accomplish this aim.
They say the Shantung settlement is bad. the Saar
settlement is bad the Italian settlement is bad and
but the league works all these things will be Strengthened
out in the next generation
Others argue, however, that the league con-
sttuted is too feeble instrument to do the work
tended result of which all Of these sacrifices have
been made in vain.
The first class includes only experts whose
only slightly known to the American public but
members of the small inside group that partc
paed in fashoning the treaty including of the
known men among the members here.
Among the less prominent members number the men
who have been engaged for the last two under drc
on of COL House. in gathering data for by the peace
conference students of economies foreign
policies and territorial relationships.
