SINKING
SHIPS VIEWED
DIFFERENTLY
/. BY BRITISH
Return Of Lloyd George to
Paris Makes Change in
British Ideas.

Paris. March 10.-A change in the
attitude Of the British government re-
garding- the plan to sink interned Ger
man warships has been noticed since
the return of Premier Lloyd George
to Paris. 1t now appears probable
that instead of the German craft be-
ing sunk. Great Britain will be will
ing to permit France and Italy to
keep some Of the ships. but will con-
sent to sink her own allotment.
In this way, it is said. Great Brit
ain would relieve the United States
of the necessity of carrying out her
projected great naval building pro-
gram, which. it is understood, was
based on the intention to prevent any
one nation from having such a pre-
dominant navy as would give her con-
troll of the seas against the powers
Of the league of nations.
The addition Of a limited number
Of the German warships to the
French and Italian navies would not
sensibly disturb the present balance
Of naval power, excluding Austria and
Germany
The desire Of American naval ex-
perts that the German ships be elm
mated completely, it is said, is based
on considerations of economy as they
hold that If the German ships are
given to Great Britain in the proper
ton proposed, the United States
would be compelled to spend one bill
lion dollars to maintain her place In

FORMER KAISER
WAS DIRECTLY
RESPONSIBLE.
SAYS PRINCE
Declares Wilhelm Absolute
ly Wished War and
Conducted It,.

London. March 10.---"rhere is no
doubt that the former German em-
peror was the first and responsible
author of the war. He absolutely
wished for it and conducted it him
self in all it's ruthlessness and barbar-
iity."
This is statement attributed to
the prince of Monaco by the Nails
Paris correspondent. who interviewed
the prince there. Correspondent re-
calls that the prince Of Monaco was
formerly personal friend of Emperor
William, but that friendly relations
were severed by the prince in Sep
tember. 1914. . a
Until a few years before the war"
the prince is quoted as saying 1.-The
German emperor seems sincerely to
wish peace and renewal of inter-
course with France. I know this be-
cause I was entrusted with a mission
to try to bring it about. But at the
same time terrible megalomania
was growing in him. He was anxious
to see Germany over all. and from the
day when he felt it impossible to at
tain this end by peaceful methods,
war became an obsession with him.
II shall never forget the fury in his
face and the hatred in his voice
when. in July, 1914. he told me, If
they oblige me to make war the world
will see what it never dreamed Of
These words were hypocritical be-
cause the emperor could not pretend
the war into which he declared him
self driven was not at that very time
being prepared for in every detail.

DECLARES THE
CERMANDANCER
STILL EXISTS X,
Those in Power in Germany
Are Men Who Supported
War, Says Benes.

Paris. March 10.-The German dan
ger still exists, in the opinion of
Foreign Minister Benes Of Czecho-
ISlovakia, according to an interview
printed in the Matin.
THAT danger must be guarded
against" he is quoted as saying.
'"Those in power in Germany today
are those who supported the war, and
in addition the material forces of
Germany are diminished but little. If
France is attacked the smaller ma
tons to the east will be called upon
to face war. There must be safe
guards on both sides Of Germany.
II advocate the naturalization of
the left bank Of the Rhine, German
Austria and part of Silesia, which,
being German, cannot be given to
either Poland or Czecho-Slovakia and
form dangerous salient between the
two countries.
Some day international problems
will be settled by the le:syue of nations
but the plan for this organization is
not yet competed. For the moment it
is impossible to think Of absolute
guarantees. The continuance of the
alliances created during the war is the
only assurance that peace can be
maintained"

VOTERS GIVE
OUT PLANFOR

the referendum Of various laws en-
acted by the sixteenth legislative as

The plan also includes the initiation
of several amendments and entirely

the executive committee decided to
refer the law and initiate an entirely
new one, limiting the cost of the ex-
pertinent to two million dollars in
stead Of five million, as provided for
IN a league bond bill. The new bill
also provides for special commission
to manage and conduct the elevators
and flour mills.
The bills to be referred include the
one creating the industrial commits
sion, which is placed in charge of all
state-owned industrial enterprises
contemplated by other legislative
grafton bill, in which 100000 is ap-
propriated for immigration purposes;
the public printing bill. by which all
public and legal publications of every
kind are centered in one newspaper in
each county: the educational bill, by
which control of public schools, edu-
cational and penal institutions is GEN.
tered in one board, and the judicial
redistricting bill, by which three new
judges are authorized.
An amendment to be initiated to
the home building association law
provides that the work contemplated
by that measure be transferred to the
department of agriculture.
Another would transfer the $10,-
100000 rural credit act to the board
of school and university lands.
Petitions for the referendum Of
these measures will be placed in cir
culation at once, according to Theo.

ton, who announced the referendum
program at the close of conference
that continue since Saturday.
