PARIS Feb. 15.-With the league
of nations temporarily disposed of
the peace delegates today directed
their efforts toward effecting a defi-
mite preliminary peace with Germany
which will enable general demobiliza-
ton and resumption of normal indus
try and commerce throughout the
world. Practically all the conferees
are agreed this is the most important
problem before them
Must Restore Industry.
The world is now in a state of stag
nation. Industries everywhere are
awaiting the actual signing of peace
and the growing unrest and uncer-
tainty in many countries can be traced
directly to economic conditions.
-sSepizpffioials repaEts. from Ger
many indicate that the country has
enough food to last until March. The
new crops will not be available before
June. In the interim, a condition OF
actual starvation may prevail and
cause serious disturbances unless
steps to meet this situation are speed
lily taken. A preliminary peace would
correct these conditions and would be
comparatively simple in accomplish
ment.
A military status could be fixed by
demanding immediate rehabilitation
upon the peace basis. The allies could
agree what Germany should pay in
the way of indemnities and show she
should pay it. This could be appor-
toned among the Interested nations.
The economic blockade could then be
lifted.
Foch VIII Act.
That some such program is to be
partially arranged under the new pro-
visions for the extension of the ar
mistice, is limited in certain official
quarters. These provisions are to be
presented to the Germans by Mar
shall Foch at Tresves Monday.
The principal opposition to lessen
ing the economic pressure against
Germany comes from the French who
fear the advantages Germany might
gain if permitted to obtain plenty of
raw materials They also dislike to
take a chance on Germany spending
money which she might otherwise de-
vote toward paying reparation claims. !

declared that the general was seek

Il have felt it my duty to do what
could to thwart the ambition of
this man." he said.
Congressman Schail was the only
member Of Congress to vote against
comforting the full rank Of general on
the overseas commander in chief of

foster militarism. but it would be
rewarding an unworthy officer, an

officer" /.
Mr.. Schall said General Pershing
was "inhuman and cruel" and that
he censored information that went
from France to America to his own
advantage. He also attacked Gen.
