Berlin. April 10.-A dispatch from
Magdeburg says government troops

dent Wilson is "hammering
ahead and has made 'gOOd
progress" in his negotiations in
Paris. according TO advices re.
ceiyed today at the White

1t was not stated just what
progress had been made, but the
adVices seemed to cause cOnsid-

quarters.

effect that the terms of the peace
treaty would not be presented to

ference until after they had been
communicated to the Germans
caused comment among delegates to
the nations not represented on the
council of four.
The publication brought out from
that it was opposed to such a plan.
President Wilson with Mrs Wilson
and Rear Admiral Grayson, his
physician, called upon Queen Marie
of Rumania at her temporary resi-
dence here before this mornings
session of the council of four.
The supreme economical commit

ing attention of the associated gov
ernments to the extreme gravity
aud urgency of the present econOm-
ic situation in Europe, an official
announcement says.
Belgium to Try Kaiser.
The responsibility of the German
emperor for the war and the means
for bringing him to trial by one of
the allied governments. probably
Belgium, have been definitely de-
termined upon by the council of
four.
This follows the definite decision
on the terms of reparations for war
damages, whereby $5,000,00O,O00
must be paid within the next two
years and an inter-al1ied commits
sion assess the remaining damage
for a period of thirty years, begin
ming May l, 1921.
Must Admit Guilt.
The text of the reparations clause
as finally approved by the council
of four, today specifies that enemy
countries must admit responsibility
for all losses and damage to allied
and associated nations and their cit
liens due to unjUstifiable agrees
sion.
Germany is to pay all the ex-
penses of the commission and Its
staff during the thirty years m
which damages are collected.
Remove Big Obstacles.
Thus, two of the great obstacles
which stood in the path of the rapid
attainment of peace have been re
moved within the last twenty-four
hours. and the period of extreme
tension is succeeded by revived con-
fidence.
How far these results are due to
the intimations conveyed by the
sUmmoning to France of the George
Washington is only conjectural. /
But it is at least a coincidence that
the main difficulties began to dis
solve from the time that this de-
cision became known.

HEAVY ARMY
COURT TERMS
ARE REDUCED
Long Sentences of Soldiers
Cut to Few Months
5000 Imprisoned.

New York, April 1O-Heavy court
martial sentences of life imprison-
ment or such terms as 20 and 80
years are reduced to a minimum of
months by a plan permitted under
army regulations which has been
introduced into the disciplinary
barracks at Governors Island by
the commandant, Colonel John E.
Hunt. The plan involves a far
reaching scheme by which the SOL
dier prisoner may not only return
TO civil life free from the stigma of
Imprisonment but better equipped
physically and educationally.
There are about six or seven
hundred prisoners at present in the
barracks. Some of the men are
from overseas and about half are
serving sentences for military Of
fensea, including one life term, sew
eral of 20 years and a few for less
periods. What these sentences
Will really mean was explained by
Colonel Hunt.
Soon Freed With Honor.
"In practice" he said, "men serv-
ing 10, 20, 80 years or life sentences
are really sentenced to indetermin-
ate terms. When a man comes
here, we make a careful investiga-
ton of his whole life from boy
hood. All the circumstances in
volving his offense are reviewed
and if his general conduct is and
has been good. he can apply for
restoration after three months.
Such application is rarely if ever
refused and within six months
from the time he was convicted he
may rejoin his regiment to com
plete his service and receive an
honorable discharge. There has
been a good deal of criticism of
the heavy sentences imposed by
court martials, but | believe it has
been largely due to the public mis-
understanding the facts. Such SEN
tences have been imposed purely
because of the deterrent effect and
am convinced that they have saw
ed thousands of young men from
getting into trouble"
But 1000 Imprisoned. :.
The extraordinarily small pro-
portion of men convicted of serious
offenses in the American army was
by Colonel Hunt. "Out
of about 100000 men who joined
the colors," he said there are only
about 5000 in the military prisons
at Leavenworth, Alcatraz and here.
Under the draft system we got into
the army a great number of men
with criminal records in civil life.
We know 5000 of these by name
and half of that number are in
cluded in the 5000 now in the three
prisons"

they were not, the practice should
be abandoned and expressed the
fear that if such action were not
taken foreigners might adopt
measures for self protection, which
might bring about an undesirable
situation.

armed, but said they had done so
to protect themselves against the
Koreans. 1t said the civilians were
not attached to the police force but
gave assurance that the govern

prevent the practice
