"TIME TO GIVE ISLANDS iNDE-
PENDENcE," SAYS BAKER.
Secretary Tells Member of Special
Mission of Legislature He Speaks
for the President.

Washington, April 7.-Members of
the special mission of the Philippine
legislature here seeking immediate in
dependence for the islands, were told
by Secretary Baker that he spoke
President Wilson's mind when he said
he believed the time had come to grant
the complete independence desired by
the Filipino people.
The war secretary also said he be-
lieved the mission would be able to
carry home word that the American
people loved liberty too dearly to deny
1t TO others.
He read a letter left by President
Wilson when he went to Europe, ex.
pressing the hope that the mission
would result in bringing about the de-
sirable ends set forth in the joint
resolution of the legislature"

His Ice Cream Bucket.


They were on the back platform Of
an outbound Irvington street car. One
was carrying a small paper bucket,
which was labeled all over with the
words, 'Ice Cream"
From the way the other passengers
eyed the bucket it was evident they
either thought the ice cream season
was past or wondered why the carrier
hadn't bought it in Irvington instead of
carrying it such distance.

"But it's not ice cream. It's chilli"

AdvisabiIity of Coming to Terms With
Hungary and Russia Seriously Con-
sidered Counter-ReVolution
Against BoIsheVism-Bloody
Strike Riots in Ger
man Cities.
By EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Prodded by the public opinion OF
most of the world, and particularly by
the insistence of President Wilson,
the peace delegates in Paris speeded
I'D their work last week and really ac-,
complished something. Mr.. Wilson, it
was reliably reported, told them that
If results we're not forthcoming Soon
he might reveal to the public the real
causes of the delay, and just before
that he issued a statement denying
that the discussions over the league
of nations were to blame in that re-
spect. No one nation, said Mr.. Will
son, was solely to be blamed for hold
ing up the peace treaty, but dispatches
from Paris make it fairly clear that
many of the bitches bave been due to
the disparity between what the French
demand and what the Americans,
sometimes backed by the British, are
willing to impose on the conquered
Germans.
If present indications go for any
thing, those same beaten Huns are
going to come out of the peace con-
ference in fairly good shape. The big
Four" last week concerned themselves
mainly with the major questions of
| reparation, the west bank of the
Rhine, DanZig and the italian frontier.
Unofficially, Germany has been taking
part in the conference, and its aTgu-
ments, presented by public officials,
the national assembly and the press
seem to be having decided effect
Though France still asserts that the
Huns should be required to pay the
last penny that can be got out OF
them, AID in this are supported by the
pub,.sc opinion of most of the civilized
world, the peace delegates, Influenced
apparently by the American represen
tatives, have been scaling down the
amount of indemnity more and more
until the prediction now is that it viii
be less than 2O,O0O,000,000. How
Germany shall pay and how long {
time shall be given her proves so com
| plicated question that it was consid
! cred probable last week that all tha
will be left for decision by commits
sion after peace has been declared
Germany has a gold reserve of more
than S50O,OO0,000, and likely part O
this will be demanded as a cash pay
ment to be disbursed in the devastated
regions of Belgium and France.

When the matter of the Rhineland
was taken up the effect of the German
protests again was evident. 1t was
virtually decided that there shall be
no buffer republic on the left bank of
the Rhine, but that that region shall
be neutraliZed and pOliced by allied
troops until the indemnities are paid !;
that the Saar coal basin shall not be
allotted to France, but shall remain
under German sovereignty. though its
products shall go to the French for a
certain period of years. 1t is presumed
that French and Belgian troops would
hold the left bank of the Rhine, since
the British have insufficient forces for
the purpose and America does not
wish to leave any soldiers in Europe
after the treaty is signed. King AL
bert of Belgium went to Paris last
week, probably to discuss his coun-
try's share in this occupation. He
called on Colonel House and President
Wilson.

Another category of agricultural
damage is that caused by lombard
ments or the cutting up of the land
for defensive purposes. Under this
heading comes 100000 acres of agri-
cultural land which cannot be restored
to cultivation for three years.
Equally serious is the loss of live
stock. Even after the signing of the
armistice the Germans drove all of the
cattle into Belgium and then when
the fighting was over left them to
starve by the thousands.

the matter Before Foch had begun
his negotiations a correspondent in
Paris cabled that the Big Four" had
decided that Danzig should be made
a free port, and added that it was re-
ported the disposition of the Vistula
valley would be left to plebiscite.
A Rome paper asserted that the
italian frontier question had been set
tied favorably to Italy by the peace
delegates.
The infrequent communiques of the
peace conference are about as inter-
esting as excerpts from an almanac,
and less informative. One bit of news
was given out-the fact that General
SHUTS had been dispatched to Hum
gary to study the situation there. This
did not please the Paris press, which
saw in it only another delay. 1t had
been hoped that General Mangin
would be sent east to deal with the
Hungarians. Official advices from
Budapest were to the effect that the
new soviet government was establish
ing itself and maintaining order, and
that it was disposed to make large
concessions to the allies in return for
food and fuel. It was supposed
SHUTS would open negotiations for
an amicable agreement. Bella Kun and
his associates insist their government
is communistic rather than bolSheviS-
tic. The fact remains that Kun is in
constant communication with Lenine,
whose secretary he formerly was.
The allied delegates also were said
| to be considering the advisability OF
| coming to an understanding with the
! Russian soviet government and per-
uniting it to get food and materials
This, Lenine says, is all he wants; il
it is granted his government can make
good, and then the allies can recognize
it if they wish to. He declares he is
willing to make peace without includ
ing Hungary in the pact and will theI
cease fighting and stop propagand;
work in other countries. All this, i
was reported, sounded good to thu
|
Germany to form an alliance with Rus
sia or to allow itself to 'go boEshevik
if the terms of the treaty should no
be to their liking. Meanwhile tn
soviet troops of Russia were very bus,
carrying out their threat to start ma
