BERLIN, Feb. 81 (delayed) Central
Germany is now in the throes OF a
widespread political strike affecting
large parts OF Saxony, Thuringia and
Anhalt, and through its effects upon
railroad communications is casting a
sinister shadow over the entire nation
No disorders or excesses, however,
have as yet been reported, and from
unaffected GENRES like Dresden and
from the edges OF the strike region the
present authorities are exerting every

The workmen in Leipzig voted last
evening by tremendous majority for
a general strike. To-day Leipzig is
without gas or electricity or railroad
communication with the outside world.
The strike at Halle, which includes the
railway men, continues absolute, and
even telephone and telegraphic COM
munication is being interfered with.
Berlin May he Dark.
The National Commissioner or Goa
and Supply declared to-day the strike in
central Germany threatened the imme-
diate stoppage Of the supply of electric
current in Greater Berlin. Railroad

ALLIED INQUIRY
URGED
Probe Of All Governments
There Advocated by Tschai-
kovsky, Northern Leader.
PRINkIPO FARLEY OFF
New Methods Are Being Con-
sidered by Peace Confer
ence, Says Tardieu.

Paris. Feb. 2S.-The suggestion that
the Entente Governments send COM
mission to Russia for an investigation
of all Governments there was made to-
day BY Nicholas Tschaikovsky, Presi-
dent OF the Government of Northern
Russia. His suggestion was made as
a counter proposition to the allied in
vitation to the Russian Governments
to confer at the Princes Islands for the
purpose OF advising the Peace Confer
ence about the Russian situation.
President Tschaikovsky is the only one
of the Russian leaders now in Paris
willing to participate in the\proposed
conference on the Princes Islands.
The Entente commission, 1t is sug-
gested, should go to Russia for the spe-
cial purpose OF learning the attitude
OF the majority Of the town and village
people who were the Bolsheviki, ascer-
tanning whether the Soviets have sue
cessfully reformed or created any
thing. The right TO hold private hear
ings and permission to visit all parts
Of Russia should be guaranteed.
President Tschaikovsky suggests also
that ali executions cease or else the
cornmission would be unable TO get wit
nesses to testify. He urges an investi-
CATION of what has become OF the Rus
sian press, labor unions. public and
scientific societies. schools and banks.
The Peace Conference plans TO reach
agreements on the more important ques-
tions between March s and March Is,
Capt. Andre Tardieu. one OF the French
delegates, told foreign newspaper corre-
spondents last night. He said that the
conference had four vital problems to
solve--the Franco German frontier. the
Adriatic situation, the Russian frontier
and the question of the freedom of the
seas. All these questions will be taken
up and probably completed in fort
night
Capt. Tardieu asserted that France
does not desire to annex the left bank OF
the Rhine. but only wants guarantees
which will prevent Germany from using
the left bank as a base for attacking
France. The Russian question, he
added. will be considered late next week
There Is no longer any question OF
going on with the Prinkipo conference
NJ. Tardieu informed foreign newspaper
correspondents. He said the Bolshevikt
had failed to comply with the condition,
laid down by the Entente as TO a sus-
pension OF hostilities. and that the Allies
have In view new methods OF restoring
order in Russia and are examining avail
able means to carry out this purpose.

WASHINGTON, Feb. oS.-Peace in
1919 is question Of higher fmpor-
tance to the world to-day than the
drafting of an international code
which will insure the nations that
war may not break upon them in
1850 or in the year 1000. This was
the essence of the address delivered
in the Senate to-day by Henry Cabot
Lodge (Mass,), the Republican leader.
The right of France should be ad-
mitted to the immediate assurance
that the debt owed her by the whole
civilized world for having barred her
bosom to the storm of German made
war in 1914 and having stood for
fifty-one months the irremovable bull
wark against the Teutonlc flood,
threatening to envelop the world,
would be paid by formulation of an
immediate treaty with the Germans,
lnsuring forever the integrity of the
national boundaries of the French Re
public. The peace to terminate the
war with Germany should be made
now without further parleying or
quibbling over the remoter problems
Of the future.
This was the conclusion reached by
Senator Lodge at the end of his most
important address. 1t followed an
exhaustive digest of the constitution
of the League of Nations as drafted
by the Paris conference under the di-
rect survey of President Wilson.
No Partisanship I'm Address.
There was no element of partisan.
ship in the address. At the very
opening the Massa chusetts leader dis
claimed partIsanship, and from the
first word of his speech to the last
the party names were conspicuous by
their absence. The question was one
Of American interest, the Senator
held, saying: mo question has ever
confronted the United States Senate
which equals in importance that
which IS involved in the League OF
Nations intended TO secure the future
peace of the world"
Senator Lodge condemned the atti-
tude OF proponents and opponents Of the
league alike who base their support OF
opposition upon senseless and unan-
alytical prejudice and he warned even
those of his own following against as
suming position that the problem OF
, world peace was an insoluble one, sim
ply because the proposed league con-
stitutien exhibited, even to the casua
student OF its phrases, deficiencies, am
biguities and opportunities for contro-
yersies which document growing out
OF more mature deliberation might not
possess. He said;
II demand that those who oppose
the plan now offered present argu-
ments and reasons based on facts
and history, and that those who
| favor it meet objections with some
! thing more relative than rhetoric.
| personal denuncistion and shrill
! shrieks that virtue Is to be pre-
! ferred to vice and that peace is

! cut definitions"

People Must he Informed.

Senator Lodge defended the discus
sion by the Senate OF articles of the
constitution and the entire subject OF
peace through international agree
ment as absolutely necessary to the in
formation OF the people of the United
States as 10 what Was really tram
spring in these houses when the whole
world is engaged in watching with
vivid interest every move at the peace
table and uttered the demand that in
formative reports OF what had been
transpiring at the Capitol should be
in the possession OF the peacemakers
at Paris.
What is said in the Senate ought to
be placed before the Peace Conference
and published in Paris so that the for
eign Governments may be Informed as
TO the various views expressed here"
said Senator Lodge. who then plunged
into his subject, saying:
"The American people cannot give
too much thought TO this subject.
and that they shall look into II witl
considerate eyes Is all that desire.
In the first place the terms of the
league--the agreements which we
make-must be so plain and so eN-
