EFFORT ABANDONED
 ADMINISTRATION
 RECLAMATION BILL
Belief Prevails That There Is No Possibility of En- acting Measure Before
 Congress Adjourns
av A..ooIa,sd prs,s


 Washington, March 3.-EffOrts
 to secure Senate consideration of
 Secretary Lanes bill proposing
 reclamation of swamp and other
 waste lands for allotmc nts to dis
 charged soldiers and sailors were
 abandoned late today by adminis-
 tration leaders. They said there
 was little probability that the
 measure csssId he enacted before
 Congress adjOurns.
 Chairman Myers of the public lands committee, In asking consideration of the bill. said he could see no other opportunity unless it was considered today. Later he withdrew his motion when it met with objection from re- publicans
 Senator Gronna of North Dakota said the measure would not benefit sol diers ''as much as those desiring to reclaim swamps," and declared sol- diers should not be set out on swamp lands and be made perpetual pau pers."
 Suggesting that some measure for real relief' of the discharged men should be given. Senator Gronna in- troduced a bill providing for bonus of one years pay up to $Z4OO, put ne said he knew 1t could not be passed.
 Senator Jones of Washington told the Senate he wished 1t understood that if the motion was rejected 1t would be caused solely by the fact that there had not been sufficient time to con- slider the measure. which was reported only week ago. The senator added he did not see how the bill could bene- fit soldiers and sailors as years would elapse before the scheme could be. ful- ly effective. He said, however. that he favored the general reclamation idea carried by the bill as a perma- nent policy, but wanted time to study this particular measure.

 days of his stay in Washington
 all pending public business ex-
 cept such as will engage his at
 tention at the capitol in the
 final hours tomorrow of this
 Congress. Immediately after adjournment he will leave for
 New York on his way to Paris. Working at top speed on the last full day available to him in the capital, the President cleared his desk suffici- ently to get out for a walk this after noon with Mrs. Wilson, tramping brisk. ly through matinee crowds and home going war workers. Large crowds fol lowed them and finally the police had to intervene as traffic became impeded. Several times the President stopped to speak to wounded soldiers.
 After opening the conference of gov- ernors and mayors this morning in the east room of the White House. President Wilson had his time clear for cores , pondence and the signing of bills until shortly after noon when he received the new amba ssador from Argentina, pr. Tomas A.

 i .sWith the return of more stable con <, ditions many difficulties which still hamper us will gradually decrease so l that we can even now look fotward l with hope to the full resumption of | all normal activities.
 "It is, therefore. a propitious mo- ment for us to strengthen further the l friendly ties that unite our nations
 and our peoples more closely together.

Paris, March 3.-A new map of Europe is rapidly taking form and within week the frontiers of the old states will largely be defined as they are to appear in the peace treaty and the successive documents fixing territorial limits.
 First in importance is Germany's west err frontier. bordering on France. which assumes international significance as a barrier against renewal of the present war. Owing to the issues involved, final determination of this question Is left to the council of the great powers. but in the meantime the tentative plans have been well advanced by the commission, which co-ordinates reports on all frontier questions.
 As it now stands, the western frontier comes under three main heads. First, AL sace- Lorraine; second, the great iron and coal regions of Briey, and the Saar valley, and, third, the extensive strip of German territory lying on the west bank of the Rhine from Palatinate north ward.
 With respect to Alsaa Lorraine, the present tendency is to make recession of this section to France without any condi- ton of plebescite or otherwise. It Is now occupied by military forces under the armistice and there is every indication that the occupation will become perma- nent.
 The Briey- and Saar valley sections are chiefly important as furnishing iron. steel and coal, on which Germany's military power was based, and 1t is believed that the new line will definitely put an end to any further use of these sources of German power. Part of the Briey and Saar sections will become French by the return of Lorraine.
 MAIN DIFFICULTY
 The main difficulty has been over a large section of the Saar coal fields lying beyond Lorraine and within German ter ritory The present idea seems to be somewhat between annexation of that sec ton and leaving it to Germany. Accord ing to this plan, the northern section would be neither French nor German, and would occupy a position somewhat similar to the District of Columbia among the American states It's productive capacity would doubtless go to France. but politi- cally it's 3OO,OO0 inhabitants would not be subject to conscription for military service either to France or Germany, and would not elect delegates to the legislative body of either country.
 This and other measures are being con sidered with the object of ''sterilizing the region so that Germany could not by a sudden thrush again tear it's production to waste.
 Concerning the region along the west bank of the Rhine. the present tendency Is toward the same form of sterilization which would render this impotent for German military uses, without giving 1t a definite political status toward either side. This probably would be accom- plished by the same means as in the Saar region, by making the inhabitants inde- pendent of conscription ox military serv- ice to either side and without legislative representation. except some local form of sclf-administration.
 This, on broad lines, is the present plan. which. however. is only tenta. tive. pending final action by the coun. ell of the great powers
 The plans relativeeto other frontiers
