THE BOY SCOUT.

"That Booster Trip

e.. Seventy, boy scouts assembled in
commns,of-fours with troop colors
flying, marched from headquarters
to the assembling point for the
Chickasha G. of G. Boosters trip to
Verden and Anadarko. A more dem

healthier bunch of boys you couldn't
reproduce in the great common
wealth of Oklahoma. Every scout
in line was hero, some veterans
of several war service campaigns
Many had served the city in benev-
olent and sanitary service. Not one
ever refused to respond to the call
to duty. Innumerable kindly deeds
have been done in their efforts to
maintain their record of the daily
good turn" They belong to a great
patriotic and benevolent organiza-

Verden and Anadarko a tingling

impressions that never die. But,
through some error neglect, or in
efficiency, the seventy boy scouts
were left standing. Band, gayly
decorated cars and laughing, chatting

scouts and they were ignored, and
the boosters passed gaily out of
sight. Who is to blame? M

MAY MOVE PEACE CONFERENCE.
If French Press and Some French Off
cials Do Not Change Attitude.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE question of NOV.
ing the peace conference from Paris to
a neutral country may be considered by
the conference if what is characterized
as the obstructive policy of the French
press and certain French officials con-
tinue, it developed yesterday.
Representatives of various other pow
ers taking part in the peace conference,
it is declared, believe that the work of
the body is greatly hampered through
unfriendly criticism by the French press
of various leaders in the conference.
They are represented, therefore, as in
clined to consider the removal of the
conference if the hostile attitude of the
French press is maintained.
Should it be deemed necessary to take
up the matter it would be considered at
a full meeting Of the peace conference.
Just what is meant in the dispatch by
the obstructive policy of the French
press and certain French officials" is not
clear, probably for the reason that there
has been great difficulty in obtaining
prompt and full reports of developments
in Paris in connection with the peace
conference.
During the war there was seldom any
difficulty, despite the serious handicap
of the censorship, in getting through
news matter from France in reasonable
time and in plentiful volume, largely
over the direct French cable lines. Since
the delegates began assembling for the
peace conference, however, and special
ly since the real work of the conference
started the communication with France
has been of the most uncertain sort.
Virtually no news has been received
over the French cable line, the best and
quickest means of communication since
the conference began. All the cable and
wireless services have been greatly con-
gested, but the chief difficulty has been
that, although the French cable was
nominally in service, there has been
complete inability to transmit news
matter over it and that all the cable
communication for weeks past has been
by round about routes.

GERMANY LAID PLANS
TO THROTTLE FRANCE
IN INDUSTRIAL LIFE
Stripped Factories and Tore Down 9th
ers, According to Official German
Version Just Revealed.

Paris, Feb. II Thy Associated Press.
The report prepared in 1915 by Ger
man main headquarters to show how
Germany would benefit from the de-
struction of certain industries in France
contained ASP pages, the supreme war
council was told at its meeting Mon.
day afternoon by Louis Klotz, the French
minister of finance. Material for the re.
port was collected 9y two hundred ex.
perts released from military duties for
the purpose.
A full review is made of every French
industry, including spinning, dyeing, pot
terry, chemicals, sugar, brewing, mining
leather, milling, clothing and rope max
ing. The report says all these industries
"olTer excellent openings for German
traders in spite Of 8 somewhat hostile
feeling"
As the French metal industry in the
occupied regions had been suppressed"
and was without supplies of raw mate
rials, which the occupied regions could
not produce, the report says German
traders could Substitute yourselves in
this new market"
Regarding the French sugar industry,
the German headquarters pamphlet says:
Business relations with Germany are
sure to continue because the French
sugar industry cannot do without Ger
man beet seed without damaging itself
and it must also buy large quantities of
German coal, the French coal mines hav-
ing suffered severely"
In its. inventory of the ruin caused in
the weaving plants of northern France,
the report says:
considerable quantities of raw mate
rial, manufactured goods, thread on bob
bins and warps have been sent to Ger
many. In Sedan all the plants have been
destroyed The machinery has been tax
en- away and the buildings lie open to
the winds like scrap iron. There is an
enormously important opening there for

Advices from the orient through dipio-
matte channels say that American Min
lister Rcinsch at Pelling, seeking to reas-
sure the Chinese foreign minister with
statements of the friendship of the Unit
cd States government, was told frankly
that the foreign minister did not see how
at this time the United States or Great
Britain could divert their attention to
the orient when the European situation
demanded so much attention.
When the Chinese peace delegates ar
rived in Paris, the information now avail
able discloses, they reported that their
copies Of the secret treaties were stolen
from their baggage while they were pass.
ing through Japan and consequently they
were unable to carry out their purpose
of making them public at the conference.
Officials of the state department de-
Clined to make any formal comment to-
day on the situation. The impression
was given that the whole matter was be.
ing n1n0leu IN Harls.
According to the reports received here,
the threats against China were conveyed
TO the Chinese foreign minister by the
japanese minister in Peking in thinly
veiled terms. The Japanese minister is
said to have pointed out that Japan had
an army of more than a million men idle
at home, fully equipped and with arms
and munitions enough to conduct long
war, and to have pointed out that Japan
had more than half million tons of
shipping, with the intimation that this
would be ready on short notice for ac-
tive work. He also is said to have
referred pointedly to large sums of mon
ey owed to Japan by China, and to the
fact that China had been unable to live
up to her financial agreements.
Upon arriving in Paris without the
copies of the treaties which they had
been instructed to use in seeking to
break Japan's grip, the Chinese delegates
made verbal reports of the substance Of
these treaties to some of the peace dele
gates of the other countries. This led
the Japanese authorities to demand of
China that she disavow this action on
the part of her delegates and that she
keep secret the treaties.
Some of the secret treaties have not
yet been ratified by the Chinese govern
ment, although Japan has ratified them
and, according to to-day's adviees, the
Japanese government is bringing every
pressure to bear on China to ratify them
before anything can be done at Paris.
The most important of the treaties as
yet mratifed by China is the agree
ment of September "a, 1918, which grants
Shantung to Japan and admits Japan as
the successor to Germany's rights, CON
cessions and properties in the Shantung
district

LAPAN THREATENS CHINA
! WITH WAR If THE LATTER
REVEALS SECRET TREA TIES
FREEDOM OF PORTS
VAS PROPOSED
France and Greece Objected to Formal
Presentation by England Sup
ported by America.

Paris, Monday, Feb. 10 (by the Asso-
ciated Press The commission on ports
waterways and railways Of the peace
conference met to-day with DIR. Silvio
Crespi Of Italy in the chair England
supported by America, proposed the proc.
lamation of the principle of complete
liberty OF transit to every country on
equal conditions to all This proposition
was opposed by Albert Clayeille, for
France, and Lalnbros A. Coromilas, for
Greece, who pointed out that England
and America occupied special situations
that made the question of commercial
land transit insignificant for them.
The commission appointed two sub
commissions, one to study the question
of the control of ports, waterways and
railroads and the other the question OF
liberty of transit. The first commission
has approved Of the principle that no
country may charge duties on goods
passing through its ports or over its rail
ways or waterways other than the
freight rates paid ON goods destined for
the country itself. Neither may they
levy on such goods customs or local
taxes.
Belgian delegates protested against al.
lowing freight destined for German ports
to pass through their territory exempt of
duty, thus helping the prosperity Of Ger
many. They claimed also that such
measures should be taken as would make
navigation of the Scheldt river free for
Belgium. The Czeeho-Slovaks and Poles
insisted on having ports of their own,
the former on the Adriatic and the latter
on the Baltic NJ. Coromias proposed TO
give them, respectively, at Trieste and
Danzig the same privileges that Greece
granted to Serbia at Salonik, where Ser.
bia has part Of the port and enjoys ter
ntorial rights. The Czecho.Sloyaks and
Poles consider this proposition an insult
ficient guarantee, and definite decision
was postponed
The commission agreed that naviga-
tion of the Rhine and Danube should be
free to all countries bordering on them,
or through which those rivers pass. The
Rhine passes or borders Switzerland,
Germany, France and Holland, and the
Danube holds the same relation to Ger
many, Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, Ser
bia, Bulgaria and Rumania.
