LEGALIZE
GERMAN KIDS
Women Members Of National AS
sembly Want Clause in Con-
stitution Covering
Illegitimates.
IBy United Press.]

nERIdN. (By marI) Women
members OF the national assembly
have recently striven to have IN.
ot,ded in the new constitution
clause whereby illegitimate children
would have stronger standing IN
the community than at present. The
,vomen were anxious to see such
children take the name of their
fathers, but this proposal did not
carry.
Frau Zietz made speech where
IN abe declared that the double stand
ard of morality is unfair 10 women
hind and to children born out of wed
lock Illegitimacy is quite prevalent
In many parts of Germany, and the
women members of the assembly
we're inclined to believe that it could
he decreased IL the father were
sorced to give his name to the child.
Women members OF the Assembly
have shown strong interest In
moral welfare questions, and IN edu'
cational matters.
They are especially anxious TO
have German educational standards
raised, and they are interested. TOO
in matters of economic welfare.
In connection with the question OF
illegitimacy, some OF the women
raised the point that the economic
situation of Germany was respon-
sible for the fact there were fewer
marriages than there should be- Frau
zietz particularly excortated the CAPT
talist classes for paying small wages,
thereby hindering many from marry
ing who would otherwise enter mat
rimony.
Women's participation In German
politics appears to be WORKING out
we'll. as they tend to give higher
tone to many questions than might
otherwise be the case.
Several of the women members
have developed the art of oratory
rather well, though for the most part
they do not get the same publicity
that male members of the assembly
do.

These Troops Will be Sent

Now in Europe
ENLIST FOR 8 YEARS
Bulk of Men are Expected to Come
From Recently Discharged Troops
Who Wish to Return

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81
An immediate call for 10000 volun-
teers for service in Europe has been
prepared by the War Department and
probably will be published soon. AS
an incentive to enlistment the men
will be offered early duty in France
as relief for men in the expedition
airy forces who wish to return home.
Enlistment in this special force will
be for three years. The men will be
concentrated at Camp Meade, Md,
and probably will be sent overseas
in contingents of 1000 strong.
War department officials expressed
confidence that no trouble would be
experienced in raising the $4,000 men
or an even greater number, if it
should be found that additional in
crements were necessary. The bulk
of the men are expected to come
from recently discharged troops who
after a short vacation" as civilians
desire to return to army life.
Another incentive expected to have
a decided effect on the recruiting
campaign is looked for among the
men who, after having been drafted
and trained, were prevented from go
ing overseas by the PRONUNCIATION OF
the armistice Opportunity to see ser
vice in Germany, it is thought, viii

CRISIS AT PEACE
TABLE And DELAY
OVER FINAL TERMS
Council Of Four Fail to.
Speed up the
Work

PARIS, March 31-Unless condl-
tions in the peace conference change
for the better, the world is likely to
be treated to a great sensation. A
considerable number of those lntl-
mately concerned in the peace negotl-
ations feel that nothing is to be
gained by concealing the true situa-
ton, but they refrain from advo eating
that an official statement be made
setting forth what, in their opinion
is the underlying cause for the delay
in effecting settlement. ;
The truth of the matter is that ar
impasse has been reached in the ses-
sions of the so-called Big Four. This
means President Wilson and Preml'
ers Clemenceau, Lloyd George ane
Orlando. This entire week has beer
wasted. The program to speed ur
is merely a jocular memory. The
thing nearly. came to. a head Friday
and the condition grows worse IN
stead of better.
Early in the week it was thought
that an agreement on the subject Of
reparations had been reached, which
left the way clear for the satisfactory
adjustment of the remaining major
questions. All concerned were tre
mendously encouraged. The French
accepted the American principle thai
reparation should be gauged by tht
amount of damage the allies had suf
fered at the hands of Germany, ane
that the amount which Germany
should be called upon to pay shoult
be limited by her ability to pay.

SURPRISE is SHOWN
The Question May Yet Be Settled
Before Plenary Session of
Commission

PARIS, March 31-A peculiar sit
uation not yet explained, has arisen
in connection with the revision of the
league of nations covenant. This sit
uation affects the United States in re-
lation to the Monroe doctrine. Fri
day night the league of nations COM
mission under President Wilson's
Craftsmanship finished it's amendatory
work on the covenant, authorizing
large number of changes-some ma
F., terial, but the bulk Of a minor char
acter-intended to perfect the phrase
ology of the document.
It was President Wilson's purpose
to offer an amendment which was in
| tended to give more or less specific
| Endorsement to the Monroe doctrine.
But he failed to do so, and the COW
enant was sent to the committee on
| revision with no sanction from the
| league commission to insert anything
pertaining to the traditional Ameri-
can policy.
On Monday night the President
went to meeting of the league COM
mission intending to offer an amend
| ment affecting the Monroe doctrine
This amendment had been cabled to
Paris. Article K of the covenant is
/ the article in which the Monroe doc
trine principle would appropriately be
stated. When the article was reach.
ed at the Monday night session the
Il President asked that the discussion oil
articlesX be postponed until Wednes.
/ day as the am nendnent which he IN.
tended to offer did not quite cover thu
situation and it was necessary to re
I wise it. When article X was reached
| Friday night the President did not Of
fer his amendment, and the article
was passed without revision.
What happened between MONDAY
I and Wednesday nights to change The
Il Presidents intention to propose tht
amendment to article x has not beer
disclosed. He still has an opportuni
ty to offer it when the revision com
mittee reports the full text of tn.
covenant for the commissions ap
proval. Whether he will suggest rec
