Cermany's Hand Forced,
Says ssFra,kfOrt CaSette''

PARIS, May 24.-The frankfort
Gazette" in speculatng on the reason
for the calling of the conference at
Spa between members Of the German
ppeace delegation and representatives of
the Berlin government, suggests that
Germany has found it's hand forced
to some extent by the speed with
which the negotiations at Versailles
are progressing. The newspaper says
in part:
1.-THE cabinet appears to have realized
only at the last moment the necessity
of such q conference. What caused
such sudden determination to be
reached ? Nobody knows. The gov
ernment may have considered that
events were taking q more precipitate
course than had been expected. Ger
many will perhaps be allowed only
very brief delay after the week given
her to make her final observations on
the peace treaty terms and may have
to hasten her reply of yes or no."

Armeniar1s Object to
q. S. Mandate in Turkey
Norgenfkau Proposal to Com.
bine Three Governments Is
Declared To Be DANGEROUS

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Henry
Morgenthau's proposal that the United
States be made mandatory over Con.
stantinople, Anatola and Armenia, as
reported from Paris, is strongly op.
posed by Armenians in the United
States, is was said to-day in officia'
circles. Their opposition is based on
belief that this inevitably would re-
suit in the continued domination OF
Turkey over Armenia.
Miriam Sevasly, representative in the
United States of the Armenian ma
tional Delegation, said the idea might
wreck the entire plan to nave the
United States act as mandatory over
Armenia and certainly would lead tc
continued friction in Asia Minor.

The reported decision of the peace
conference in virtually agreeing to the
establishment of mandates over vari-
Gus units of the Turkish Empire marks
the end Of power in one of the oldest
nations in the world.
From their first appearance in Eu,
rope, in the middle of the fourteenth
century, the Turks were a factor of
foremost Importance in European poll
tics and it is the consensus of the best
authorities that their influence was for
unmixed evil at all times. Theirs is a
history of military conquest and domi-

whatever to European civilization.

Sche;demanp Said To Be
Ruled by Military Caste

ZURICH, Switzerland, May "a
IL A military oligarchy is being
formed in Germany, according to
DR.. Richard Grelling. author of
"JAccuse," who has just returned
here from Munich. The oligarchy is
more powerful than the Scheidemann
government, he declared, as the gov
crnment only manages to remain in
power with the support of the mill
tary caste and of mercenary trooDs.
The government can do nothing
against the will of the generals who
tolerate the present Cabinet for lack
of more suitable one," said DR..
Grelling. "The situation in Germany
is developing in dangerous manner.
The military caste is not yet think
ing Of the restoration of the mon.
archy, but who can say what will
happen later?"

CrOatiay, Peasants Ask
Independent Republic

pARIs, May 24.-The Croatian
Peasant Party, claiming to rep
resent one million Croats, has sent
an appeal to the Peace Conference
through the Italian delegates de-
manding the creation of an indie
pendent Croatian, Slovenian and
Dalmakian republic. The appeal
asks also that Italy take charge of
their interests in Paris.
The creation of Jugo- Slavia, upon
which the Serbians especially have
been actively engaged, was intended
to include the Croatians, Slovenians
and some of the Dalmatians. The
realization of the Croatian Peasant
party's plan would greatly reduce
the strength and Importance of the
proposed Jugo Slavic nation.

Revelation By Amendment

How many people in the States that have ratified the National Prohibition Amendment have given thought to the inevitable effect of thelr action upon the American system of government?
 We have here dual overeign : ty, the Nation supreme in it's sphere, the States in their own. The most important expression of home rule in the States is that Of police power. At present the police powers of the Federal Gov ernment are few, whereas, those of the States are unlimited, be- ing a fundamental of their sov- ereignty never yet surrendered to the Nation.
 Nobody has undertaken official ly to define what is called police power. In general .terms, it is the authority invoked by self governing peoples for the promo tion of the public welfare. Sub ject to constitutionall restraints the police power of States is ex- ercised for trivial as well as for mcmentous causes. It may be used to compel the construction of fence, and again 1t may be the sole means of protecting life, health, morals and property. to say nothing of liberty. Deprived of their police power, American States may easily become pro vinces or districts, but they will not be self-governing in any true sense.
 As the liquor traffic, Mike all other social affairs, falls properly under the power, the. proposed amendment will embody in the National Constitution alprinciple in conflict with the basic theory of our Federal system. It is a most emphatic denial of local self government. One immedi- ate result of such a departure. amounting to revolution. .iiwlll be the enforcement of vexatious sumptuary laws upon resisting peoples, not by their own officers but by informers and prosecut- ors from a distance. It was re. sistance to some such measures that awakened the spirit of '76. No less certain is the prospect that one successful invasion of the rights of the States by sec tarIan ard centralizing influences will be followed by many others designed still further to regulate or suppress customs, diversions. occupations, domestic relations. forms of pubic worship, perhaps matters of faith and opinion.
 Thus the States, speaking through intimidated. bigoted or reckless Legislatures in many cases, are doing much more than ratifying a measure suggested as a sure cure for the admitted evils of intemperance. They are opening the door to consolidat ed autocracy at Washington which eventually will overthrow the Republic as we have known it, and they are welcoming this monster in the name of God. .- New York World.
