.pO|NOExTER IS PLEASED
Likes idea of Separating Peace
Treaty From League.
Washington Senator Believes Danger
of Delay in Peace Has
Been Removed.

Washington, March 14.-Senator
Poindexter of Washington, one of the
SO Republican senators who approved
the resolution of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, opposing the proposed
constitution of the league of nations,
issued statement asserting 1.-The most
refreshing news for the suffering mil
lions of the world is the announcement
that definite preliminary terms of
peace have been agreed upon and that
peace will no longer be delayed while
awaiting discussion of league of ma
tons"
''The wisest decision reached by the
Peace conference Senator Poindexter
said, lis that the treaty of peace, re-
storing order and happiness to the
world is to be kept separate and dis
tinct from the league for the conduct
of future wars.
THE crying need of the world is
peace and peace has been deliberately
denied it in the effort to form a war
league. The Peace congress has at
last awakened to the demand for peace
and seized the opportunity of the
last three weeks, being relieved during
that period of obession of the wal
league, to make the terms of peace" "

WON'T SIGN TREATY, MAYBE
German Press Says So When Stirred
Up Over Terms.

Berlin, March 14.-Reports from
Paris that the peace treaty will pro-
vide that Poland shall have Danzig and
that a buffer state shall be formed
along the Rhine have stirred up the
German press, both conservative and
radical.
1T is to be hoped there is nobody
in Germany who would suffer such a
treaty to be signed" says the Tage-
blatt
The Lokal Anzeiger says: I'VE re-
gard it as absolutely certain that these
demands will be rejected if they are
made" The newspaper says that IL
Danzig were given to the Poles they
would get little enjoyment from it.
This stolen property it declares,
would burn in their hands" 1t also
says that Germany would be justified
in refusing to sign the treaty ii it con-
tanned these condition, setting forth

cation for the refusal

Paris, March 14.-French newspa-
pers regard the proposed volunteer
system providing for German army
of 100000 as potential and stupen-
dous st. Cyr (the French West Point)."
They declare Germany could easily
maneuver the system so as to permit
only officer material to enter the stand
ing army, which would become in real
ity only an officers camp, yielding in
four or five years the equivalent OF
100000 West Pointers.
These would be sufficient to COM
mand an army of 100000.
France cannot forget there are sew
Germany who can already be regarded
as veterans. In addition, it is feared
the IL year term of enlistment would
encourage young men to make army
life their profession. Admittedly, II
is practically impossible to prevent
continuation of Germany's shooting
and turnverein organizations, which
in the past were only thinly disguised
military training centers.
Germany, the French point out,
could disguise the turnvereins and use
them as schools for privates, with the
volunteer army as an officers univer
sity. Thus, should the Allies consider
Germany disarmed and proceed to
disarm themselves, Germany at once
would become an immense standing
peril

to have conscription retained in Ger
many, under Allied control.
Big 10 to Fix Boundaries.
Paris, March 1.-THE council of the
five great nations has decided the ques-
tion of the Turkish boundaries shall
not be passed upon by the boundaries
commission, but shall be acted upon
by the supreme council.
The boundary between Albania and
Jugo-Slovaki also has been reserved
for action by the supreme council and
will be considered together with the
entire Adriatic question and the de-
termination of the boundaries of Italy
and Jugo-Slovaki. The west German
boundary also has been reserved for
action by the supreme council.

Allied Conference Invites Them to
Send Delegates to Meeting

Gathering VIII Be Unofficial and Pre-.
sent an Opportunity for Neutrals
to Give Their Opinions on
League.

Paris, March 14.-With the object
of giving neutrals an opportunity to
express their views on the league of
nations, an invitation has been sent
to all the neutral nations in Europe,
Asia and South America asking them
to attend a private and unofficial con-
ference here Thursday, March 20.
The invitation was sent by the con-
ference authorities to the ministers of
the neutral powers in Paris and they
have forwarded it to their govern
ments.
Switzerland has already replied ia
vorably to the suggestion. No South
American republics have yet answered
A strong sentiment is developing in
high quarters of the conference toward
making Geneva the official seat of the
league of nations. Several of the
heads of delegations who have been
consulted have given their approval.
Turk Boundaries Held Out.
The council of the five great nations
has decided the question of the Turk
ish boundaries shall not be passed up
on by the boundaries commission but
shall be acted upon by the supreme
council
The boundary between Albania and
Jugo-Sloyakia also has been reserved
for action by the Supreme Council and
will be considered together with the
entire Adriatic question and the de.
limitation Of the boundaries of Italy
and Jugo-Siovakia. The West Germa
boundary also has been reserved for
action by the Supreme council
Not to Cause Delay.
The decision to withhold the Turk
ish, West German and Adriatic
boundaries differences from the bound
aries commission will not result in de-
lay, as the council probably will dis.
pose of them as soon as the boundaries
commissions report is completed and
the entire territorial question will be
passed on at once, as much confusion
would result from attempts to do
piece-meal work.
Countries having several boundaries
under question would endeavor to
make up on one frontier what is denied
them on another. All boundaries will
be passed upon and become part of
the peace treaty At least they will
be generally outlined, but it may be
necessary to leave minor details to the
technical commission which will make
surveys and investigations.
The Supreme council discussed the
aerial terms to be imposed on Ger
many in the peace preliminaries, ac-
cording to official announcement. The
articles drafted by the military ex-
perts were examined and adopted.

Secretary of the Treasury Glass
Announces Drive viii Run
Until May 10.
MATURE IN FIVE YEARS
Short Term Notes viii Be Issued and
interest Rate and Amounts Ex-
empt From Taxation Are Not
Yet Determined.

Washington, March 14-The cam
paign for the Victory Liberty Loan
will open Monday, April 81, and close
Saturday, May 10, three weeks later.
Secretary Glass announced the dates
together with the fact that short term
notes maturing in not over five years
would be issued instead of longer term
bonds. The amount of notes to be
offered was not disclosed, but it has
been generally understood that the
loan would be for minimum of IS ,000,-
100000 with the Treasury reserving
the right to accept all oYer-subscrip-
tions.
Mr.. Glass said that interest rate on
the notes and the amounts to be ex-
empted from taxation would not be de-
termined until week or two before
the campaign, as they would be based
upon financial conditions at that time
1t was intimated, however, that the
notes might bear interest in excess of
Az per cent, the interest rate on the
third and fourth loans.
Short Term Notes Planned.
after studying conditions in all
parts of the country" said Mr.. Glass,
Il have determined the interests of
the United States will best be served
at this time by the issuance of short
term notes rather than of longer term
bonds which would have to bear the
limited rate of interest of Az per cent
"The Victory Liberty loan will
therefore take the form of notes of
the United States maturing in not over
five years from the date of issue.
These notes will be, as were the Lib
erty Loan Bonds, the direct promise
to pay of the United States, will be is
sued both in registered and coupon
form, and the coupon notes will be in
final form and will have attached the
interest coupons governing the entire
life of the notes. | am hopeful that
the notes in final engraved form will
be ready for delivery by the opening
of the campaign on April 81.
Il am led to adopt the plan of issu-
ing short-term notes rather than long
term bonds largely because of the fact
that | believe that short-term issue
will maintain a price at about par
after the campaign is concluded far
more readily than would longer term
