WILSON SATISFIED
WITH PEACE RESULT
PRESIDENT RETURNING HOME
BELIEVING CONFERENCE WAS
A WONDERFUL SUCCESS.
liberates Peoples Who Had Never
Before Had a Chance Of Liberty,
and Bands Together People Of
World to Make Peace Lasting

Paris-President Woodrow Wilson
goes back to the United States more
than satisfied, his friends say, with
the net results of the conference, and.
all things considered, 1t Is his opinion
that the conference has been Won
derful success. While 1t Is regarded
as dlsadvantageOus peace for Ger
many, yet against this 1t il held that
Germany committed great wrong
and quite naturally and inevitably
must make just PREPARATIONS for that
wrong.
But outside Of German results, the
conference is viewed In presidential
quarters as liberating peoples who
never before had chance of liberty,
such as Poland, Jugo-Slavia and
CzechO- SiOvakia. Also, the conference
Is credited with banding together the
people Of the world to make the peace
regime enduring. Other large results,
1t was pointed out, are the giving Of a
charter to labor, removing restrictions
on international intercourse and many
other interatiOal results which can be
summed up as "a colossal business,
such AS the world never dreamed Of
before"
The peace treaty and the league of
nations covenant should be ratified
without amendment, according to the
presidential view as 1t Is understood,
for certain definite reasons namely,
that If any one power seeks to make
amendments then the war will not be
over until every one Of the u ass0-
clated nations learns the results of the
amendments. This can only be done
through the processes Of negotiation
and 1t Is held that the effect of the
amendments would be to keep the
United States out Of the treaty and
out of the league.
The question has arisen whether res
ervatiOns amount to amendment, and
presidential quarters are understood to
hold that reservations. such as the pro-
posed Root reservation to article ten
Of the covenant, are equivalent to
amendment. o.,

EX-CR0WN PRINCE
FLEES TO HUNLAND
EXILE REPORTED TO HAVE MADE
HIS ESCAPE FROM DUTCH
PRISON HOME.
Believed Possible That Former Emper-
or's Eldest Son May Be Figuring
on Desperate Political Move in
Germany.

Paris.-Frederick William Hohenzol-
lern, the former German crown prince,
has escaped from Holland and made
his way into Germany.
News of the escape of the ex-cr0w1
prince caused considerable stir In
peace conference circles. While it is
not felt that he is a figure around
which the reactionaries and monarch
lists would gather enthusiastically,
nevertheless, his act is regarded as an
event of considerable significance in
view Of other German recalcitrancy.
Hints have come from Germany
within the last few days that the mill
tary caste there would not be averse
to bringing about military situation
within the former empire that would
embarrass the allies in putting the
peace treaty into effect, and it seems
not improbable that the move made by
the ex-crown prince is connected with
some such plan.
The former crown prince made his
way into Holland shortly after the
signing of the armistice last Novem-
Der, and was interned there by the
Dutch government, taking up his resi-
dence on the island Of Wieringen, in
the Zuyder Zee.
Former Emperor William is planning
to speedily return to Germany before
the entente can demand his surrender
from Holland, according to Stuff
CART dispatch to the Neue Berliner
Zeitung. The dispatch states that the
Dutch government thoroughly ap-
proves of his return, as the former
emperor is an unwelcome guest and
his presence is increasing the prob
lem before that country"

ner or another, gained access to the
hall, that the struggle for points of
vantage at times approached the stage
Of brawl, and the few officials en-
trusted with keeping order had the
greatest difficulty in securing even a
semblance of order.
A Dramatic Incident.
The most dramatic moment connect
ed with the signing Of world peace
came unexpectedly and spontaneously
at the conclusion of this greatest cere-
mony in history, when Premier Glenn
enceau, President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George descended from the Hall
of MIRRORS to the terrace at the rear of
the palace, where thousands of spec
tatOrs were massed.
With the appearance Of the three
who have dominated the councils Of
the allies, there began most remark
able and unprecedented demonstration.
With cries of "Vive Clemenceau,"
give Wilson," "Vive Lloyd George"
dense crowds swept forward from all
parts of the spacious terrace.
In an instant the three were sur.
rounded by struggling, cheering masses
of people, fighting among themselves
for chance to get near the states.
men.
SHUTS Registers Protest.
Three incidents were emphasized by
the smoothness with which the cere-
mony was conducted. The first of
these was the failure Of the Chinese
delegation to sign. The second was
the protest submitted by General Jan
Christian SHUTS, who declared the
peace unsatisfactory. The third, un-
known to the general public, came
from the Germans. When the program
for the ceremony was shown to the
German delegation, Herr Won Hahn
hansen, Of the German delegation,
went to Colonel Henri, French liaison
officer, and protested. He said:
1--WE can not admit that the German
delegates should enter the hall by
different door than the entente dele
gates; nor that military honOrs should
he withheld. Had we known there
would be such arrangements before,
the delegates would not have come"
After conference with the French
foreign minister, it was decided, as a
compromise, to render military honors
as the Germans left. Otherwise the
program was not changed.
In his protest General SHUTS de-
clared that there were territorial set
Elements which he believed would need
revision, and that there We're guaran-
tees provided which he hoped would
soon be found out of harmony with
the new peaceful temper and unarmetl
state of the central powers. Punish
ments were also foreshadOwed, he
said, over which u calmer mood might

WILSON READY TO
BATTLE FOR LEAGUE
PRESIDENT APPEALS TO NATION
TO ACCEPT COVENANT WITH.
OUT ALTERATION.
Issues Address to the American People
on the Occasion Of the Signing Of
the Peace Treaty in Which He
Urges Acceptance Of League.

ngtOn.--President Wilson, in
an address to the American people OH
the occasion Of the signing of the
peace treaty, made plea for the ac-
ceptance OF the treaty and the cove
nant of the league Of nations without
change or reservation. His message,
given out here by Secretary Tumulty,
said:
my Fellow Countrymen The treaty
of peace has been signed. II 1t Is
ratified and acted upon in full and sin
cere execution of It's terms 1t will
furnish the charter for new order Of
affairs In the world. 1t Is a severe
treaty In the duties and penalties 1t
imposed upon Germany. but 1t is severe
only because great wrongs done by
Germany are to be righted and re-
paired; 1t imposes nothing that Ger
many cannot do; and she can regain
her rightful standing in the world by
the prompt and honorable fulfillment
Of its terms.
"And 1t Is much more than treaty
Of peace with Germany. 1t liberates
great peoples who have never before
been able to find the way to liberty.
1t ends, once and for all, an old and
intOlerable order under which small
groups or selfish men could use the
peoples of great empires to serve their
ambition for power and domination.
1t associates the free governments Of
the world in league In which they
are pledged to use their united power
to maintain peace by maintaining right
and justice. 1t makes international
law reality, supported by Imperative
sanctions.
1T does away with the right of
conquest and rejects the policy Of an
nexatiOn and substitutes new order
which backward nations--p0pulatiOn
which have not yet come to political
consciousness and peoples who are
ready for independence. but not yet
quite prepared to dispense with pro-
lection and guidance--shall no more be
subjected to the domination and ex.
ploitation Of stronger nation, but
Mhall be put under the friendly direc.
ton and afforded the helpful assist
ance Of governments which undertake
to be responsible to the opinion Of
mankind In the execution of their task
BY accepting the direction Of the
league Of nations.
1T recognizes the inalienable rights
Of nationality; the rights OF minOrities
and the sanctlty Of religious belief and
practice. It lays the basis for conven-
tions which shall free the commercial
intercourse Of the world from unjust
and vexatious restrictions, and for
every sort Of international cO-Opera-
Aipn that will serve to cleanse the life
Of the world and facilitate Its common
action In beneficent service of every
kind. 1t furnishes guarantees such as
were never given or even contemplated
for the fair treatment of all who labor
at the daily tasks Of the world.
1T Is for this reason that l have
spoken Of It as a great charter for
new order Of affairs. There Is ground
here for deep satisfaction. universal
reinsurance and confident hope.

MY DEAR, THE CORSET
is A NECESSITY AND
SHOULD NOT BE TAXED

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 17.-Unconsti-
tutional discrimination against the
rights of women possessing an excess
of adipise tissue through the oper-
atoms of the luxury tax on corsets
costing $15 or more, is charged in a
petition to Representative Jas. Z.
Mann, asking repeal of the law.
Byron w. Wight, an attorney, who
prepared the petition, contends the
taxed ~corsets are a necessity" and
not a "luxury."
Furthermore" the petition con-
%tinues, "said tax is a discrimination
between small and slender persons and
large and portly persons, and is in VIC
lation of the constitutional rights Of
women"
The petition has a number of prom
inent signers.
