| Paris, March 15.-President Will
sons change of residence on his re-
! turn to France has caused much COM
ment here, and many opinions have
been expressed as to why he should
leave the Hotel Murat in the Rue
Monceau.
Most persons thought the principal
reason was because President Wilson
was too far away from the headquar-
ters of the various peace missions
Others thought the presence of a
president of a republic in a royal
princes house did not seem altogether
democratic in these days. According
to Aux Ecoutes, the real reason is a
political one. as will be seen from the
following quotation from that French
weekly review:
Prince Murat, whose opinions and
connections are well known. has for
the last few months openly shown
himself to be an adversary of Presi-
dent Wilson's policy. He has criti-
cised President Wilson's attitude at
the peace conference, it is said, and
he did not hide the Indignation he
felt when Mr.. Wilson proposed a
meeting with the Bolsheviki at the
Princes islands. Also Prince Murat
did not disguise his displeasure when
MI. wilson received Jean LOnguet IN
his house"
(Jean Longuet is a French socialist
deputy and has been termed "the
Bolshevk ambassador" because he
was first to receive the Bolsheviki's
acceptance to the Princes islands
meeting)
Prince Murat blames President
Wilson for this and his antipathy is |

Adoo's new job is at once a sensation
and mystery Everyone knows that
the famous secretary. son-in-law and

know exactly why, or i'm exactly what

But why should the moving picture
industry desire Mr.. McAdoos sery-
ices, and, even more mysterious. why
should Mr., McAdoo seek a career in
tllmland? This latter question cspec-
lally has been the cause of much
speculation. 1t has been suggested
that Mr.. McAdoo counts on winning
the hearts of 100000 American
movie fans and marching as their
leader INTO the White House, perhaps
on a platform of flickerless film and

without pretending to answer all

movie job probably has nothing to do
with MS political aspirations, that it
Will not take much of his time, and
that, indeed, its chief importance of

New York, March 15.-Secretary
Daniels of the navy and a party of
naval experts sailed from here for
France today on the transport Levia =
than, to study naval and aviation
problems They will visit Great Bri-
tain and Italy and will be absent UNI
til about May ]. The secretary was
accompanied by Mrs. Daniels.
An army guard of honor, an army
band, Vice Admiral Albert Gleaves,
representing the navy; Maj. Gen. Da-
vid r. Shanks and Brig Gen. George
McManus, representing the army and
Admiral Grout of the French navy,
met the secretary and his party when
they arrived at the pier. The cere-
monies correspondent with those ac-
corded President Wilson on his first
trip to France. The Leviathan fired
a nineteen-gun salute as she turned
into the river and started on her
voyage at 4:90 p. m. flying the secre-
tary's flag.
I'VE are going to Europe to study
naval and aviation problems" said
Mr.. Daniels. 1--WE are going to pay
particular attention TO types of capt
tai ships and aviation. We are going
TO fly across the ocean some of these
days, but l am not giving the date. No
doubt congress will be asked for mon
ey to develop the aviation ambitions
of the United States"
AS the transport was being warped
away from the pier a sailor appeared
at an open port, and. grasping a deck
rope, swung himself to shore, while
his comrades called goodbye. It de-
veloped that the youth, a member
of the crew whose assignment to an
officers training school had been dis
approved by the bureau of naviga-
ton, had taken his case personally be-
fore Secretary Daniels aboard the
liner. The secretary had approved the
transfer, the sailor said and, having
no mind for another passage on the
Leviathan, he made his dash for
shore.

CZECHS BADLY IN

NATIONAL CRISIS
Germans Encourage Revolt in
New Republic and Masses
of People Are Said to Be
Facing Starvation.

Prague, March 1.-THE food sit
uation here is terrible indeed, and the
non-arrival of food from Trieste is
preciptating a most dangerous crisis.
Great masses of people are facing
absolute starvation, although the
rich, by the liberal use of money, can
obtain plenty.
The kroner (the unit of currency,
worth nominally about 20 cents) has
deprecated TO one-quarter its pre-
war value. The population shows now
the easily recognized central Euro
pean pallor due to the lack of fats in
its diet. The universal opinion here is
that if relief does not arrive soon Boil
shevism will break loose.
Last Saturday a plot was uncovered
showing that the German Austrians
and Hungarians have learned nothing
by the war. The German consul here
was caught trying to send documents
by courier which contained the full
fledged plans for engineering a Boil
shevik uprising with the help of Ger
man. Austrian and Czech troops A
number of prominent Germans have
been arrested as a consequence, and
the one or two remaining German lam
guage newspa pers in Bohemia have
been suppressed.
on all sides the complaint is heard
that German propaganda goes on con-
tinually. The anti-German feeling
therefore grows, and serious trouble
may result. The speaking of German
on the streets is likely to lead to mob
violence, even arrests in short
The weapon most ready to the gov
ernment's hand against German-fed
revolution is anti-German action.
However, food is the key to the
entire situation here. The people,
complain that Vienna is being fed,
and that they receive nothing; that
the enemy gets food, and that CZecho- |
Slovakia, friend of the entente,
goes hungry. This situation, accord
ing to all discerning persons, contains
the germs of serious trouble.
Food, food, and more food is the
only possible solution.

ed in the Gulf of California on a bar
rem island off Altata, a port of the
state of Sinaloa. Large springs of
liquid asphalt were recently found
there, and drilling with crude. i'm

this barren island is the furthest south
