Prompted by Bernard Baruch and
Chairman Hurley Of the United

important economic questions in con-

the Old World statesmen by his ia

The shipping question was adjusted
favorably for the Americans in the
armistice extension, the United States
getting the largest German ships for
transporting it's troops home. They
will be licensed by the Allies and will
not fly the German flag. These condi-
tions must he accepted by Germany.

Marshal Foch to attend the armistice
meeting at Treves.

The Polish question was taken up

forces must be kept in Europe TO back

ference.
This spirit is reflected in proposals

These ideas so far are as nebulous

The most specific is the limitation Of

1t is difficult for many Of the experts
now gathered here to see how any
compromise plan such as President
Wilson is now known to have In mind
with the leagues decisions not en-
forceable by international naval or
military power can give assurance
enough TO some Of these statesmen to
induce them to give their consent to
a radical Limitation OF armament.

pARIs, Jan. IA startling revela-
ton was made at the allied peace con-
ference when It became generally known
among the delegates OF the Ave assoc
ciated Powers that mechanics In the
imperial German shipyards have been as
busy since the armistice was signed on
November IL as they wero before. The
mechanics actually have been building
more submarines
Behind their continuance is probably
the most amazing circumstance the war
has uncovered; II shows the astounding
docllity of the German mind under the
impetus of the old system of obedience
to higher orders. which orders in the
case og submarines were not officially
contemplated by the present German
Government. No wonder the peace dele
gates gasped when they heard of II. II
was sufficiently remarkable to occasion
two hours discussion at their initial
meeting. even II il did cause Lloyd
George to become restless and look ner-
vously at his watch.
What other people in the world would
have gone automatically building sub
marines for two months without paus-
ing TO consider that the fruit OF their
toll in the end must assuredly pass to
the possessioA OF the allied powers?
Very nice submarine they are too.
The sun., 1919-01-16

one might laugh heartily but for the
pathetic side of the occurrence. These
mechanics kept going to work and rivet-
ing away because nobody who repre-
sented authority had told them To cease
their labors. Brought to book by a sharp
query emanatng from the watchful Al
lies those in charge of the navy yards
meekly rejoined that they had not been
ordered by somebody who represented
something of theirs to Quit building sub
marines. hence they had kept to the task.
This was proved TO be tho fact and
probably was an honest enough over
sight by the present Berlin government
which is quite up TO its ears at the job
