BOUND TO HAVE WIL-SONP PROGRAM Won Bernstorn Also Favors Plebiscite For .Alsace-
 Lorraine.

Paris, Tuesday, March 25 - Ger many is determined to stick close to the Wilson program in making peace with the Allies, Count von BernstOrff, former German ambassador to the United States, declared in an inter view with the Berlin correspondent of the Temps, which that newspaper prints today.
 The arnistice of Nov. IT, said Count von BernstorfE, was signed when all the powers interested had accepted the program of peace pro- posed by President Wilson. Germany is determined to keep to this agree ment, which history will regard, in a way, as the conclusion of a prelim- mary peace. She herself is ready to submit to the conditions arising from it and she expects all the interested powers to do the same. If these es- sential conditions of the Wilson pro- gram shuld be violated or neglected and especially if conditions were i'm posed which went beyond the pro gram. the German delegates would unfortunately find themselves in a position of, say, non possumus.
 Count Won BernstorT advocated a plibesCite for AIsace-Lorraine and German Austria.
 "Germany's attitude on indemni- ties" he continued, lis fixed by her acceptance of the note of November 5, 1918, whereby reparation is ac- corded for all damage done to the civil populations of France and Bel gium by German aggression. This note admits of the payments of no other indennities.'
 Asked what the consequences would be of the failure to sign a peace, Count won Vernstorff replied:
 T am no prophet, but BoIshevism would gain immensely. The liberal world, which has seen salvation for humanity in Presidents Wilson $ principles, would be terribly disap- pointed if peace were not made. Even the higher classes would be driven to despair. Remember that since the middle ages no idea has aroused the worlds enthusiasm like a League of Nations based on peace and justice, and who will dare to cause the idea 10 naiscarry at the first test. I hope that a league of all the nations of the world will make common cause against the spectre of Bolshevism and triumph over it."

Captain Wheeler says that no doubt a, nuisance exists at this point but un- der present rules there is no violation of the law When asked regarding the ordinance prohibiting the obstIuc- ton of fire plugs he said, T do not consider that the fire plug at Main street and Fairfield avenue is being obstructed when the jitney or motor buss stopping near it is prepared at any moment to mOve on.
 When you consider that 60 per cent. of the people of Bridgeport use the jitneys and that 19O of these mo tor busses ply the Fairfield avenue route, the slight inconvenience caused Q, certain few citizens at Fairfield avenue and Main street is negligible.
 The question of leaving a large enough passage for pedestrians be tween busses standing at this point is being taken up.

objections it was said the league would be g, sort of approximation with a great standing army and navy capa- ble of destroying any particular na- ton. The objection disappeared as soon as the league constitution was published.
 ''SecOnd the objection was made that the United States surrendered a part of its sovereignty by entering the league. It now has become evident that neither the United States nor any other nation surrenders any as the league is not q government and has no sovereign powers.
 Fourth. objection has been made that British self-gOverning colonies, like Canada and Australia, may be admitted to the League which it is claimed would give Great Britain five votes to our one. If it were true, it would not matter. because all i'm portant questions must be decided by unanimous vote. Also, these col onies now are almost completely in- dependent of Great Britain and Can ada especially has many interests in common with the United States.
 Fifth. it has been objected that Japan might insist on having the League settle the immigration Gues- ton and through the League force us 10 admit Japanese. If she could she could also force us to change our laws of marriage and divorce, taxa ton or any other domestic question. The League, however, deals only with international questions and has no relation to domestic affairs.
 1T feel that these objections will be brushed aside and that men will meet the big issue squarely. Our answer must be yes or no, aud I am sure there is but one correct answer. and that is yes
 T believe that the people Of the world will accept the League as it has been prepared in Paris because they must realize the promises the nations make to each other will act as an ef- feCtual preventive Of war;

Most of the negotia- dons were conducted through Law. renee Timmons, a Greenwich real es- tate broker, the witness said. Gurley is suing to collect a commission on the deal, but Mrs Stokes said he did not procure Stoddard as a. purcha ser The trial was resumed this afternoon before Judge Greene and a jury.

''They will continue in the future as they have in the past unless na- tions unite in a plan to avoid them. For the first time in history nations are making an effort to do thin
 Will the efforts of the men at Paris succeed or fail? The answer is of tremendous importance to fani- lies who must furnish soldiers if they do fail. It is of great importance to tax payers. If the league is not form ed the peace signed at Paris will be only 8 truce and every nation will re- suue war preparations on a bigger scale than ever. Taxes in the United States to cover these preparations would run into hundreds of millions Of dollars a year. Most of this bur den would be in the form of taxes on incomes and business profits.
 Prohibition has knocked out sev- eraI hundred million dollars a year of government revenue, and public sentiment probably will never again submit to the old practice of raising the bulk of the revenue by taxes on the consumer, no matter how they are levied. This may be a cold-bIooded way of looking at the question, but I wish to make it plain that the Paris conference is not entirely academic but affects us all tremendously.
 "Porhaps the establishment of a League of Nations never was possi- ble before. A great change, however, has come over the world. In the past the world has been cursed by auto cratic government bent on conquest
 "Now, however, the nations of the world have become or by our aid may become largely democratic. It should be comparatively simple for them to make an agreement to establish in ternational peace based on justice.
 That is the effort now being made at Paris. America leads. Her represeu- tatives are devotins their energies to securing for humanity the great boon of a, world free from future wars. In this historic effort the leader is the American president Woodrow Wilson. ''ShaL. we support this effort or re- pudia:s it Already opposition is strongly developed. Considering these

TRY TO JOIN
 PEACE TREATIES
One Pact linking Germany With Other Central
 Powers,

Paris, Tuesday. March 25.---CBy The Associated Press. )---It became known tonight that a serious effort was be- ing made in the highest quarters to join together all the peace treaties with Germany, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria, thus making one conapre- hensive treaty in which Germany would be linked with the other Gen. traI Powers as their responsible head.
 While such a step would cause some delay, yet the American and British leaders here feel that it would save time and in the end in completing the work on all the peace treaties. The inclusion of Austria in comprehen- sive treaty would be particularly ac- ceptable to Italy, which has refused the conclusion of terms with Germany in a document which failed to deal with Italy's interests in Austria.
 The movement for a single treaty with all the four powers probably grows out of Premier Orlando's strong opposition to such omission in the first treaty of clauses dealing with Italy's interests. The plan has not vet been finally determined upon and it may meet with objections, but the tendency is towards it's acceptance. It is stated that the fact that the United Sites is not at war with Turkey or Bulgaria has raised no objection to the plan.
 Should the plan be adopted it is ex- pected that the four treaties could be linked together and completed by May l.

 "A vampire is a woman who flirts on the street with men, bleaches her hair, camouhages her face, dis guises herself with clothes and gives wrong names"

 The trolley cars are the offenders. I believe that the day of the trolley is passing. Before long our city streets will not be subjected to the con- tinuous performance of being torn up for the laying of trackage. Travel will be done by the swtfter and less objectionable motor bus Already we find the best people in town pa1ron- izing the busses. I was told by one young lady, an employe of the BuIIard company, that she can reach her home in the West Side from her place of employment in 20 minutes by jitney, whereas 1t takes just one hour by trolley. The public wants the titney and we must tolerate a. few negligible inconveniences if on the whole the system proves the greatest benefit to the great majority Of our citizens. I
 am hoping that the new Plaza ar rangement will eliminate entirely all present objections"
