Paris. Sept 4.-Serbia seems likely
to adopt the same attitude as Rumania
toward the Austrian peace treaty. says
the Petit Parisien today. According to
information from q most authoritative
source the newspaper says. the Bel
grade government feels it cannot accept
the treaty unless there is modification
of certain clauses concerning the pro
lection of racial minoritles which Serbia
considers rs infringing upon her SOW
ereignty.
Paris. Wednesday Sept 3.-Reports
have been current during the last few
days that the government intended
bringing bread cards into use again. To
meet these rumors. the food ministry to-
day issued denial that any such in
tention existed.
Washington. Sept. 1.-THE house bill
for enforcement of national prohibition
was on the senate program today as
unfinished business. One change pro
posed by the senate committee would
be the elimination of the provision max
ing it illegal for persons to make light
wines and cider in their own homes.
Others are of a minor nature and it
is believed would be accepted by the
house.

Treaty Meant As Warning

There is a method Of adjustment
IN the treaty by which the rrpaIaJion
shall not De pressed beyond the point
which Germany can pay but she will
be pressed to the utmost point that
she can pay which is just which is
righteous It would be- ntolerable if
there had been anything else; for, my
fellow citizens, this treaty is not meant
merely to end this single war il is
meant as notice to every govern
ment who in the future will attempt
this thing that mankind will unite TO
mtlict the same punishment.
There is no national triumph sought
to be recorded in this treaty. There
is no glory sought for any particular
nation The thought Of the statesmen
collected around that table Of their
people, of the sufferings that they
had gone through Of the losses they
mad incurred, that great throbbing
heart which was so depressed, so for.
lorn. so sad in every memory that it
had had of the five tragical years. My
fellow-countrymen, let us never forget
the purpose, the disinterested purposes
with which America lent its strength
not for its own glory, but for the ad-
vance of mankind
"And, as | said, this treaty was not
intended merely to end this war il
was intended to prevent any similar
war

FEW j. S. SAILORS
REMAIN OVERSEAS

BOSTON, Feb. decentralization
of the American Navy abroad virtual
ly is complete.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt, who landed today with
PRESIDENT Wilson, said:
I'VE now retain only a mine-sweso-
ing base in Scotland, the port faciIi-
ties for the Navy transports bringing
the troops home and about 5000 men
being held to take over German ships
allotted to the United States as trans
ports'
Secretary Roosevelt has been in Eu-
rope to complete the demobilization
work of the navy. His biggest task was
the disposal of the great Lafayette Ra-
diO Station, under navy construction
at Bordeaux. The United States Gov
ernment will complete this work and the
French will then pay for its construc-
ton cost-22, 900, 900 francs or approx
mately. $4,000 900.
Discussing the rehabilitation work,
Secretary Roosevelt said:
when the fighting ended, the
American navy had fifty-four shore
bases of various kinds in European
countries, including England, Ireland,
Scotland, Wales, France, Belgium,
Italy, Greece. Gibraltar, and the
Azores. The navy had more than TO-
600 men at these bases or on ships
operating therefrom.
Almost $4,000 officers and men
have been sent home and flying sta
tions and bases, with very few excep-
tionS have been evacuated

RECALL TREE LOVE

PoUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, Feb. 24-
The Rev. DR.. William 7. Manning. rec
tor Of Trinity Parish, in a sermon at
Vassar College. expressed his '.astonish-
ment and deep regret that the PresI-
dent of the United States should have
seen fit 10 appoint man who Is an
open advocate OF free love to represent
our country at the proposed conference
with. the Russian BolsheviiSL
Mr.. (Prof George d. Herron's opin-
ions and hi saets are well KNOWN" Dr.
Manhing continued There is nothing
secret or uncertain about them. His
record. known, to all. has been a pc
euliarly shameful and flagrant one.
I Such an appointment by the Presi-
dent is shock 20 the country. It
ought not to be PASSED over. It can
not be defended or excused. In the
interests of ordinary morality It should
be at once and publicly revoked. Pro-
tests against 1T should come from all
quarters, regardless OF creed or of
politics"
Dr. Manning said that he hoped that
protests would come from Roman Cath
olics and from the stronger men and
women among the Socialists"
His young women listeners also were
interested when the rector asserted.
we will no more tolerate the red flag
in our land than we would tolerate the
German flag" He said France and
Belgium should get Justice and eco
nomic protection" before the great ques-
tions involved in the plan for a World

The flag OF the Chief
of the Army and Navy was hoisted to
the main truck and fluttered in the
chilly. breeze. simultaneously the
American nag was uhfurled and the
roar OF the guns from
the harbor forts rent the air.
The screeeh Of whistles and sirens
aboard craft in the harbor and from
factory buildings joined the din. And
from myriad portfolios of the George
Washington there were thrust a myr-

the returning fighters who had spnet

DR.. AKED MAKES
PLEA FOR RUSSIA

A plea for sympathy for war-tora
Russia was made by Dr. Charles Aked,
the noted preacher, and lecturer, IN
the course Of an address last night at
First Congregational Church.
when Russia suddenly oVerthrew
cEardom," said DR.. Aked, america
was full Of sympathy. Jubilee mass
meetings were held; the people II
Russia were lauded; the end of
tyranny was proclaimed. But sine
the Bolsheyik revolution of November,
1917, changed attitude has-appearad.
America and the world, horrified at
the picture of anarchy, bloodshed,
murder, and disorder, have lost faith
IN Russia. has ceased to sympathi..e
with her, have naught but condemua-
ton for her.
at Is the wrong attitude. Russia
needs and deserves sympathy. The
world is taking. too short a view.
And short views are always false
views. The world fears that the
anarchy of Russia today stands as
the great barrier in the way Of the
dawn Of universal peace. AS a mat
ter OF fact, the anarchy now taking
place in Russia is laying the basis for
a future reign Of liberty and peace
and blessedness. Russia will emerge
from her anarchy to be the righteous
guarantee of a greater democracy
among nations.
THE world is short-sighted and re-
fuses to read history. 1t. forgets the
French revolution. 1t forgets that
France. torn with anarchy and revo-
luton and bloodshed, required eighty
two years to emerge a firmly estab-
lished republic. And yet the world
expects Russia to establish stable
in two years. When
France was in the throes of prolong-
ed revolution. the world lost faith in
her and ceased to sympathize with
her, just as now it has lost faith in
Russia. The world refuses to profit
from the lessons of history. Carlyle
said that the French revolution was
blessing in the disguise Of hell. The
present anarchy in Russia is exactly
that" q

PRESIDENT EXPECTS U. S.
TO APPROVE PLAN FOR
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

BOSTON. Feb. 24.-President Wood
row Wilson returned to the United
States today. He came back to make
a preliminary report of his steward
The Washington times., 1919-02-24

ship as chief Of the American peace
commission, and to wind up the af-
fairs of the expiring Congress. He
plans to return to France in about
eight days to complete his work there.
Before leaving he hopes to acquaint
Congress with all that has transpired
since he left New York on Decem-
ber 3.
The President came home in fine
fettle. He is by no means seriously
concerned over the storm Of criticism
which has followed the making pub
lie of the initial draft Of the proposed
legislation for the league of nations.
In the opinion of the President. those
in his confidence say, the people OF
the entire world believe that only
through the creation OF such league
can future wars be aVerted And II is
violating no secret to state that
President wilson expects that when
the people of the United States under
stand all that b involved in the Gre
alton of this world alliance Of free
nations they win undualidedly ap.
prove the plan - p
SltuatIon Complicated.
Since the President left Paris the
situation there has been complicated
through the attempted assassination
Of Premier Clemenceau. The latter
as chairman OF the. peace conferences
has been a very powerful factor in
making speed. He has shut OF de-
bate when it athreateped to interfere
with the speedy dispatch Of business.
And, although he and the other mem
bers OF the big Five" have clashed
frequently there has been no bitter
ness as a result. The report that the
Tiger" was recovering from his
wound therefore was welcome news
to President Wilson. The accomplish
ments of the peace conference since
the Presidents departure from the
United States are difficult to define
because so much has been started
that remains to have the finishing
touches put upon It after he returns
to France. 1t is possible, however,
to outline the following:
First-Complete organization has
been effected whereby all nations,
large and small, are afforded the
opportunity to submit their claims
and national aspirations to the Big
Five" made up of two representatives,
each OF the United States, Great
Britain, France. Italy and Japan.
Second-Committees have been
named to decide on the amount and
manner Of payment Of the indemnity
to be exacted from Germany.
To Decide KaIser's Fate.
Third-Committees have been named
to settle the question of personal
guilt and to decide whether the
Kaiser and his advisers, IL found re-
sponsibIe for initiating the war, shall
be placed on trial before an interna-
tiOnal tribunal and punished if con-
victed.
Fourth - Committees have been
named to decide on the International |
ization of waterways whose owner |
ship is in dispute as well as those |
which form parts OF international
boundaries.
Fifth-Decision has been arrived at
the mandatory system Of
shall be applied to the
pacific and African captured German
colonies. Under this provision the
lation most concerned administers the
Affairs Of such colonies under the gen.
sral direction Of the League OF Ma
ions when formed.
Sixth-The tentative constitution Of
he proposed League of Nations was
made public and laid on
he table the afternoon of the night
IN which the President left Paris for
home.
