Little Rock
sixty-three two-ton army trucks and
rs three.ton trucks have been shipped
to tho State Highway Commission by
the War Department for use in the
construction of highways in Arkansas,
according to a telegram received by
William b. Owen, state highway COM
missioner Another shipment of "a
two-ton trucks and Is three-ton trucks
will be shipped within few days
The first shipment should arrive with
in two weeks, Mr. Owen said.
The trucks are being apportioned to
the various states by the War De
partment. Mr. owen is confronted
with the problem of apportionins
them among the Is counties of the
state. The method of distribution has
not been worked out by the highway
department, Mr.. Owen said, as it is
not known whether all counties are 20
receive them or just those counties
which are constructing highways UNI
der federal aid.
Mr. Owen also is puzzled as to
where to get $4,000 with which to pay
the freight on the trucks II will
require special train to convey the
machines, as only three trucks can
be loaded on a car. The shipment
will require 81 freight cars.
The utilization of the army trucks,
which are the best machines on the
market. should considerably expe-
dite road work in this state, Mr..
Owen says. A large amount of haul
age Is required in every district, and
the material can be transported much
faster by motor trucks than by ami
maI-drawn vehicles.

Recommendation was made by tAs
secretary that provision be made h

of 100000 men, only $4,000 less than
are now in the service. He ASSERTED
that unless this number was outnor

Mr.. Daniels emphasized that tho

for temporary force large enough to
take care of the work arising in the

or course it is apparent that in try
ing TO disclaim the responsibility of
the German people for the war of ag-
gression the Berlin delegates are rely
ing on President Wilson's early conten-
ton that America was making war not
on the German people but on the
military autoeracy that was depressing
them. After a while he admitted he
was disillusioned by realization that
the German people heartily supported
their government as long as they were

The answers of the allies to the
notes already submitted by the Ger.
mans could not have given the latter
much encouragement as to results.
When they complained of the taking OF
mines and nitrate beds they We're told
the treaty did not prevent their buying
minerals and nitrates from other ma
tionsl when they objected to the loss
of their mercantile shipping and the
consequent loss of employment for
their sailors, they were reminded that
the allies were not thus nearly COM
pensated for their losses due to sub
marine ravages and when they said
Germany would be unable to feed her
population if deprived of agricultural
lands, they were told the reduction of
population through the loss of territory
left her fewer mouths to feed, and the
Germans could easily obtain agricul-
tural products from other countries.
The attitude of the allied delegates
is that their countries have suffered
FAR too much already, and it is the
turn of Germany, and they assert the
German people cannot shirk the re-
sponsiblity for the war because of a
partial and perhaps nominal change in
their form Of government and in its
personalities. Such, indeed, was the
substance of the reply of the council
of four to the German note regarding
separations, in which the Hun dele
gates declared Germany would not adj
nit responsibility. They were told II
was too late to take such a position
and that it was impossible to disasso-
ciate responsibility from PREPARATION.
Having asserted the German people
would not have undertaken a war of
aggression. they are reminded that
they approved of Secretary Lansing's
note of November 5, 1918 in which it
was stated that the obligation TO
make reparatioa "arises out of Ger
many's aggression by land, sea and
air. The Germans asked that the re-
port of the commission on responsible
ity be communicated to them this was
| peremptorily refused.

An interesting fact concerning the
peace negotiations has just developed.
A number of the experts attached to
the American delegation have resigned,
declaring the treaty is unacceptable to
them in many respects. They were
taken over TO gather historical, racial
and other data, and they assert that
the mass of information they handed
in has not been used or even read by
the delegates. They more than init
mate that the framing Of the peace
treaty degenerated quickly into a proc
ess of bargaining and that Mr. Wilson
was compelled to surrender his ideals,
one after another, in order to put
across his main idea of a league of
nations. According to these maleon-
tents, the settlement of the Saar basin,
Danzig. Shantung and other problems
was all wrong, and they evidently have
no confidence that the italian muddle
will be cleared up properly and justly.
The Pulaskian., 1919-05-30

What the Germans realty will do
about the treaty is still the subject Of
much speculation. Opinion i'm Paris
that they ultimately will sign is I'M
changed, and is supported by adviees
from Berlin to the effect that power
full party is growing there in favor Of
submitting to the allies and gaining
peace that will permit the resumption
of business. In this tire Independent
Socialists are joined by bankers, mer-
chants and many others, who say that
anything would be preferable to boil
sheyism. Tn Washington it is believed
that the Ebert government may retire
temporarily in order to let a dummy
government approve the treaty. The
dummies thereupon would be ousted by
public opinion and the Ebert crowd
could return, but the treaty would have
been signed

What shall be done with Turkey?
was a question that occupied the atten-

President Wilson acting rather in an
advisory capacity since America was
not at war with the Porte Some of the
delegates wish the sultan to be re-
moved to a small territory in Asia
Minor and Constantinople turned over
to the United States under mandate,
The Indian delegates, however, fear
that to force the sultan to quit Con-
stantinople would cause great trouble
In the Mohammedan world, and there
fore the British prefer that he be left
there but with only spiritual powers.
Though 1t seems to be accepted that
America shall be the mandatory for
Armenia, it is not at all certain that
the American people would be willing
to take charge of the Turkish capital.

conference. Jews throughout the world

Poles by reports of bloody pogroms In
