PARIS, February 24.-The Italian

Italian aggressions in Dalmatia are
continued. The feeling is very bitter.
The Italians are infi1trating troops
through Dalmatia, although the slavs
constitute s5 per cent of the popula-

treating Dalmatia as conquered terri

Brings Disappointment

Mr.. Wilson came to Paris resolved
that there should be a league of ma
tions. Encountering at Paris this
unanimous French smotion, finding
French interest and French attention
fixed upon the salvation of France
rather than upon the formulation of
the principles of a league of nations,
Mr.. Wilson and those associated with
him were not successful in conceal
ing their disappointment or their dis
approval of what seemed to them a
particularistic national policy. When
France as a whole asked Mr. Wilson
to go and see her devastated regions,
that he might understand her heart.
he returned a cold and unequivocal
negative. / do not think that any
single act of any man ever carried
with it profounder disappointment
than Mr.. Wilson's refusal to go to
the northern regions and see what the
boche had done.
And we have had, week after week,
a slow but sure change in French
emotion with respect to the President.
He was hailed by the little people of
France as savior. He was hailed
as man who came from another
world to deliver France and other
peoples of the world from the shadow
of tragedy which had been. and little
by little his course here had the effect
at least of creating the impression
that he cared nothing for the life or
death of France. that he was not con-
cerned with those things which the
tragic years of war had burned into
the soul of every French man and
woman
l do not think it is possible ac-
curately to represent how profound
was the disappointment of France at
this course of the American Pres-
dent. A sense first OF desertion and
then of utter isolatio crept into the
French heart, as more and more the
American attitude toward France
passed from mere coldness with re-
spect of French necessities to open
criticism and hardly concealed sus-
picion. do not think one would
exaggerate by saying that three
months ago France believed the war
won and today, as a result of what
has occurred here in the peace Con-
ference, there is something amounting

GERMAN SITUATION
DECLARED SERIOUS
Statesmen Fear Chaotic
Conditions Will Prevent
Early Payments.
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN,
staff Correspondent of The Star.
(By Wireless. J


PARIS, February 25.-Grave fears
are expressed by some of the most
observing statesmen >in Paris that
Germany can be forced to pay at an
early date any leyies that may be
placed upon her as punishment for
her war crimes, owing to present and
anticipated chaotic conditions pre-
vailing in Germany. The revolt in
Bavaria Is but one Of several known
to be planned in concerted moves by
the spartacists and bolsheyiks to
wrest complete control from the
Ebert government.
- If the reds" succeed the old ques-
ton with whom will the allies make
peace and what element in Germany
will sign the pact comes to the fore
again with increasing force.
The situation is deemed really
serious, and unless the allies hasten
the peace conference and draft terms
to present to the attention of the
German government at the earliest
moment it is doubted by many states
men il any definite binding pact can
be signed at all until the fires of rev.
olution are wiped out and definite
order established. This might be one,
two or three years.

Would Aid Reconstruction.

In the meantime readjustment of
economic and commercial conditions
in the overrun regions of Europe
would come to a standstilI. 1t is
frankly admitted that a reparation
from Germany should help bear that
burden Of reconstruction. Any rev.
olution may keep the army Of occu-
patton in striking distance Of Ger
many for many months to, come.
Though the situation in Germany
as it affects the general proposition of
early, permanent peace is considered
serious at this moment. the situation
will be worse before it is better.
Allied investigators returning to
Paris believe the next six weeks will
be the most critical period, owing to
Germans now using reserve food sup
plies. Then they will be without
food. save for Outside aid, and unless
the allies act a great social upheaval
which may lead the allies into in
definable paths is believed sure to de-
velop.

What France Is Seeking.

France came to the peace conference
at the end of four and a half years of
war, fought mainly upon her SOIL with
population diminished by three mil
lions as a consequence. with half a
dozen provinces in ruins and a score
of cities wrecked. to ask two things
reparation for material injuries and
guarantees against future attacks. -
These demands were not made by
any separate faction in French pol
itics. They represented the desire,
the passionate will of country des-
perately wounded, to have from its
allies some assurance of that support
without which it might have sue
cumbed to the brutality of German
assault. e.

He also made it clear that all the

gas masks with their uniforms when
they were discharged from the Army
and may wear their helmets in the
parade if they choose.
Only men who actually were in ac-

were provided with steel helmets.
