Foch's Statement Discussed.

The recent interview given by Mar
shal Foch as to the military i'm
portance of the provinces on the left
bank of the Rhine has caused much
comment and discussion. The civilian
authorities insist his views must be
considered apart from the political
aspect and purely from military
idea Some of the French officials claim
the retention of these provinces nee
essary in order to prevent any sud
den invasion by German in the flu
ture.
Schemes for the naturalization of
this territory have been suggested.
even to the extent of preventing the
inhabitants from being incorporated
in the German military system. It is
also argued that the Ithine should be
neutralized in order to enable resi-
dents of Alsace-Lorraine to have ac-
cess to the sea without going through
unfriendly German territory. The
truth is, those who believe the reten-
ton of the left provinces of the Rhine
unnecessary point out that the devel-
opment of airplanes with aerial tor
pedoes removes advantages of the So
called strategic frontier.
In fairness to the French it must be
said that France has presented no
formal claim as yet, and the French
point of view is uncrystaliized thus
far among her officials. 1t is certain
that they will give serious considera-
tion to the possible misunderstanding
which might arise from such claim
unless convincing evidence is ex-
hibited of the necessity for military
reasons.
On the other hand il the league of
nations is going to guarantee the Sc
curity of France by economic advan-
tages Of France of Germany. by keep
ing the 1atter's, position in military
and naval impotence the necessity for
more territory would disappear
| Prominent French officials tell me
that France is interested only in her
security and Is as anxious as any other
nation to reduce burdens involved IN
keeping large armaments, SO as to en-
able her population to return to
peaceful pursuits. The key to the
:: territorial questions appears, there
fore. in the kind of guaranteed, Sc
curity that is obtainable under the So
ciety of nations.

Soviet Opponents Want Arms.

The leaders of the armies fighting
the soviets are appealing for arms
and ammunition, not allied forces.
as necessary, but this policy is beset
with many dangers too, because of
the ease with which the cry of inter-
vention can be raised as a means of
antagonizing people against the allies.
The official worS here is that the
peace conference is rapidly approach
ing an agreement on it's policy. 1t
seems most likely that an appeal will
be made to all the factions to bring
about an internal agreement Dele
gates representing respective fac
tions may be invited to come here
and make an effort to bring about a
compromise solution.
It is certain that some affirmative
action at the peace conference will
be announced soon, wherein the
United States may be able to partici-
pate. In view of the opposition of
the Americans to what may be con-
strued as armed Intervention. it seems
likely that diplomatic move is in
prospect looking toward compost
tion of the differences existing, and
the possible reception of delegates
representing de facto authority in
each region of Russia.

President Is "1.istening."

While President Wilson and his
associates are listening to the re-
citals of first-hand observers of Rus
sian conditions, a special committee
representing each peace delegation
is working on the league of nations
plan. Again today participants re-
port progress and assurances that
they will have delegation of princi-
pies ready before Mr. Wilson leaves
While the territorial questions are
not formally on the calendar, cam
paigns for the respective claims con-
tinue beneath the surface. Several
American correspondents who have
just returned from Italy report that
public opinion there is insistent that
F1ume be given to the Italians, though
they are ready to agree to the inter-
naturalization of the port and give
up the Dalmatian port.

Waterloo Health Board and Francis
cans in Court.

Waterloo Jan. S-Althoush the in
fiuenZa epidemic IS decreasing. II was
difficult yesterday to procure doctors
long enough to take their testimony in
court in the flu cases before Judge !.
w. Mullan. In the forenoon DR.. l.. Z.
Huntoon, city health officer, was ex-
cused to so to the bedside OF a patient,
supposed to be dying OF pneumonia.
The patient. who was the wife of DR..
Sidney ID. smith, coroner, died in the
afternoon.
This hearing is unique in the history
Of the country. The city board OF
health is endeavoring to force the en-
trance Of Influenza and pneumonia
cases into ST Francis hospital. The
hospital objected and obtained an IN
junction to restrain the board from
taking patients there. This was done
by Judge Mullan after mandator!
Injunction sought by the board OF
health was granted to force the sisters
to take care of such cases. The two
suits are combined in one action and
trial is ON the merits OF the situation.
Several physicians have been called
as witnesses Some stated influenza
is spread only by discharges from the
mouth and nose or by the hands, while
others maintained it may be spread by
third person. who may be carrier OF
the germs.
One of the noted witnesses for the
Franciscan sisters is DR.. l.. Hektoen.
a bacteriologist in the University of
Chicago.
The sisters claim the hospital IS not
adapted to take contag ious cases and
il such were admitted it would sub
ject their other patients to serious con-
sequences.
The court records are silent on any
similar action.
