manity Or the general betterment of
man. but for their own country. the
United States.''
Inc wonderful catch words and
phrases'of the President caught the ear

the President during the weary months
before we went into the war"
Mr.. Hale declared that the American
people did not wish to have this inter

me contrary, were anxious, now that

soldiers home and get out of Europe as

Senator George II. Moses, of New
Hampshire, who followed Mr.. Hale. said
he thought the Maine Senator took too
pessimistic a view of the situation and
attached far too great Importance to
what was happening in Paris.
Our losses in the war were less
than one-t twentieth of the losses of
France or of Great Britain" said SEN

higher than the aims of the other ma

the President goes about the mighty

End of Submarine
As Warfare Weapon
Is Planned by League

LONDON, Feb. 3.-The abolition of
submarines as warships may be de-
cided upon by the league of nations
committee during the coming week,
according to the PARIS correspondent
of THE Mail" 1t is said thar this
was one of several understandings
which were reached during the confer
ence on Friday between President Will
son and Colonel House, General Smuts
and Lord Robert Cecil, and will prob
ably be proposed among the first planks
of the platform at the sessions this
week, during which it is hoped the
leagues constitution may be definitely
formed.
British and American delegates, rep
resenting the biggest naval powers,
are said to have sounded all naval
opinion on this point. 1t was suggest
ed by some that the submarine might
Be used defensively within the three

German W0rld League
Pla,, Is Presented

New York, Tribune
Special Cable Service
Copyright 1919. New York Tribune Inc.)
SARIS, Feb. 8. - The draft of
German scheme for a
league of nations prepared by
the Society on International Law
and presented by the German
government has aroused consid-
cradle interest here.
Various delegates are glad to
know that Germany's admission
to the league of nations de-
pends upon her Interpretation
of the league and her mental at
titude.
Most Allied countries now
have missions in Germany study
ing with greatest care her phys
zeal, mental and moral condition.
The provision in the German
scheme which would limit ar
maments to 25 per cent Of the
1909 appropriations furnishes
some light on the change that
has taken place in the German
mind within the last six months.
Undoubtedly the Allied draft
of the League Of Nations will
contain some points advanced by
the enemy, but not because the
delegates to the peace confer
ence will be Influenced in the
slightest by German desires.

Washington Thinks
5 e cret Treaties
Will Be Denounced
Pichon Statement Taken to
Indicate That Documents
Will Be Declared Invalid
by the Signatory Nations
Nc,o York Tribune

w HSHWQtOB DuTeuW
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-The declara-
tion by French Foreign Minister Pichon
that mo decision has been reached in
regard to the validity or vitality of
the so-called war treaties" was inter
preted in official quarters to-day to in
dicate that the series Of agreements
between the Entente powers and be-
tween Great Britain and Japan may be
denounced by the signatory nations.
In we'll Informed diplomatic circles it
was declared England is willing to con-
slider herself bound to the execution to
the very letter, if need be, of every
treaty which she has signed, and that
she will not consider any invalid except
with the consent of the other contract
ing party.
France, it is understood desires the
performance of the treaty obligations
respecting the disposition to be made
OF ASIA Minor territory, but is anxious
that Italy renounce her rights under
the treaty, of London, which, in addi-
ton to other prescriptions guarantee
ing French territorial claims, assigns a
part of the Adriatic coast to Italy.
Japan's position, it was said, coin
cided with Great Britain's, EXCEPT that
Japan does not ccde the right Of the
peace conference to review the terms
of any agreement entered into between
China and Japan, particularly the treaty
of 1915, in which Japan agreed to re-
store the Province of Kiauchau and the
port of Tsingtau to China under Ger
tain conditions.
The United States has taken moral
position against all the secret treaties,
contending that each individual claim
should be settled upon its merits.
rather than upon any agreement which
arbitrarily undertook to npportion
spoils of war among tho victorious
helligerents.

Will make it unnecessary in the future
to maintain those crushing armaments
which make the peoples suffer almost
as much in peace as they suffered in

The chamber was tastefully deco
ated with French and American flags
in honor of the President. The spa
clous room was packed to its limit,
while in the galleries some of the peo-
pie held on to the rafters
President Wilson, President Poincare
NJ Clemenccau and NJ. Dubost were
given seats facing the Presidential
chair. which was occupied by NJ. Des-
chanel, who opened the sitting.
Mrs. Wilson, Madame Poincare and
Madame Deschanel had seats in the
Presidential gallery, while the diplo-
matte section was filled with many dis
tinguished personalities, including mem
bers of the peace conference, among
them David Lloyd George, Arthur J.
Balfour and Secretary Lansing. All the
ministers were on the government
bench.
M. Deschanel delivered short but
eloquent speech of welcome, to which
President Wilson replied in English,
an interpreter translating in into
French.
AS President Wilson rose and
walked toward the tribune with a
quick step the Deputies, Senators and
others arose and cheercd and ap-
plauded for fully five minutes The
audience insisted on hearing the
Presidents address standing. NM
Poincare, Clemcnceau and Dubost also
stood. This seemed to embarrass

the Deputies be seated, but the Pres-
dent of the Chamber shrugged his
shoulders, as if helpless, and Presi-
dent Wilson began in low voice, which
gained force as he proceeded.
There was II ripple of applause now
and then as he was speaking, but the
majority of the Deputies and Senators
were unable to understand English
clearly, thus the enthuiasm did not
break out until the interpreter trans
lated the speech. Then Deputies and
Senators gave full vent to their feel

ural solution would be to allot Con
stantinople and its vilayet to Greece
with international guarantees for the
free navigation of the Dardanelles. Ii
the society of nations became reality
however. the Premier suggested that
the international Importance OF Con-
stantinople might make advisable the
internationalization of the city under
the protection of the society, which
should select the Governor.
Premier Venizelos will continue his
presentation of the case of Greece at
tomorrow mornings session of the
council, it was added. The Czecho-
Slovak delegates will again be heard at

The official text of the communicate
reads:
"The President of the United
States, the Prime Ministers and Min
isters for Foreign Affairs of the
Allied and associated powers and
the Japanese representatives met to-
day at the Quai d'Orsay from II
a. m. to ] o. m. They heard NJ.
Venizelos's statement of the claims
of Greece, which will be continued
tomorrow at IL q. m, after which
the Czecho- -Slovak delegates will

Americans Opposed Mandatories
No answer has been returned by the
American delegates to the peace con-
ference to what is said to be an almost
unanimous desire of the other powers
that the United States undertake to
act as mandatory for Armenia and the
other severed provinces of Turkey.
Such of the American delegates as will
discuss the situation say they are dis
posed to resist this development of the
plan for mandatories, holding that it is
the business of Europe to look after
the Europeans and the people of the
Near East.
The argument used by the other
powers in support of their desire that
the United States assume some of
the obligations to care for the welfare
of backward peoples affected by the
peace settlement and assist in their adj
vancement to a higher state of civili-
cation. is based upon the unlimited
confidence of other governments and
because it is known that the United
States has no territorial aspirations.

OF railway transportation and access
through Austria, the United States
grain corporation arranged to sell to
the city of Vienna for cash 1000 tons

railways necessitates that each train
should be accompanied by few Allied
soldiers in order to prevent pilferins
from the cars.
The British and Italian governments
also are shipping foodstuffs into this
region. The entire efforts are being CO.
ordinated under tho Supreme Food
Council, with Herbert Hoover's direc-
tion.

CENTENARY CONVENTION.

The Centenary convention at thu
Methodist chuhch, Tuesday, grew il
numbers until large company at
tended in the evening. Three mis-
sionaries from the Orient were
among the speakers. The story pre-
ceding tc stereopticon lecture in the
evening by the Rev. DIR. Grove, re-
Gently from Corea, fell upon the eal
like wild impossible fiction. One
Captain Preston in 1866, on YES
sci sailing under the American flag
sailed far inland up the 'Corean
strait to the bewilderment and final
anger of this hermit nation. Lit
tie pop-gun-like bullets from the
shore bounded off the vessel like
hailstones. Ultimate revenge and de-
struction came from the advice of
the head of tiger-hunters. Bonfire
RATS of wood pushed out from the
shore, were carried about the for
eign ship by the receding tide. The
intrepid captain and his crew per-
ished in the burning ship. This act
opened Corea and the propaganda
OF the Christian religion. Now Corea
is practically Christian.
The views thrown on the screen
were of fine quality. They came from
the Methodist picture-making house
in New York City-the largest of its
kind in the world.
The chief speech of the day was
made by DIR. johnson from China, in
which he said that the churches of
the Christian civilization of the west
could alone prevent another and by
far the greatest world-war - mean
ing that the Oriental peril with ia
pan as leader would wipe out our
boasted civilization unless VIC give
the gospel to China.
The object of the meeting was to
develop among the churches repre-.
sented an organization with four de.
partments which shall before the
year is out complete their work
These departments are: Education
Intercession, Service and Steward

Each church is divided into units
of 80 members each. The local
church will have, therefore, 6 or Z

are five in each church, make the
