NO NEWS RECEIVED THIS WEEK,
TOO WILD IN celebration
Americans In Paris, Released From the
HORRORS Of Trenches, Somewhat
Astonish the French.

Not the least of our pride in the ex-
peditionary force was its good behav-
ior. For general morals we were the
prize winners. But, Of course, soldiers
In nonprohibition country will get
drunk now and then. One reason for
our prohibition wave is the fact that
many Americans have no moderation
In their use Of alcohol, and that they
sometimes tend, when drunk, to tear
up the sidewalks, writes VIII Irwin, In
the Saturday Evening Post.
Your French poilu, who, In his reac-
don from the trenches took to liquor,
got blissful and genial jag, which ex-
pressed itself in talkativeness and In
Irritation. The American whooped II
up.
AS twoscoyotes on a moonlight night
can give the impression of a whole
wolf pack, so two drunken Americans
could give the. appearance of a drunk
en- army. They might be surrounded
BY fifty poilus, all half seas over; 1t
was the Americans whom one noticed.
This tendency brought its most de-
plorable effects In Paris. The capital
OF the world was not leave center.
Nevertheless all sorts Of commissions
and activities conferred there; soldiers
were constantly coming and going on
military errands; moreover, though
Paris was officially barred, men never
theless got Paris leave by pull or ca
Joiery. In spite Of the provost marshal
and the military police we always had
the American drunk with us; and
wnen present he always announced
himself. The French, who. as have
said grow merely genially expansive
with LIQUOR. did not like this.

SWITZERLAND VIEWS
WITH GROWING CONCERN
UNION OF GERMANY AND
GERMAN AUSTRIA.
Fears Eventual Result Would
Be Breaking Up of Swiss
Federation.

Paris. March 15.-U. N. S.)-Swit-
zerland is viewing with growing con-
Germ the movement to unite Germany
and German Austria, according to in
formation received here from Berne
today.
The effect of such a confederation
would leave Switzerland the only
country with German speaking
population not forming a part of the
German family. ....-
Fears are expressed by some Swiss
statesmen that the eventual result
would be the breaking up of the Swiss
confederation.
(About one-half of the Swiss speak
the German language; most of the
others speak French.)
The Austrian proposal to make
Voralberg part of Switzerland has
been received at Berne with mixed
feelings. The effect of this annexa-
tion would be to give the German
speaking part of the Swiss population
a preponderance over the section in
which French and Italian are spoken.
These proposals. as well as the
suggestion to make Tyrol an indie
pendent state. have not yet been taken
up by the peace conference, nor has
official opinion on them yet taken
definite shape.
The delegates, however. are pre-
pared to grapple with all Austrian
territorial problems as soon as the
preliminary terms for Germany are
out of the way.

CONFER WITH NEUTRALS
Argentina Studies Reply TO Invitation
to Join League.

Buenos Aires, March 15.--The foreign
minister held long conference with
ministers of neutral powers this after
noon.
The neutral ministers were informed
that Argentina will answer the invi-
tation from Paris to join the league of
nations, which Foreign Minister Puey-
rredon said was accepted in principle
by this country. He said, however, that
some changes would be suggested.
Senor Alvear, the Argentine minister
at Paris, has been instructed to sound
the delegates to the conference, and
especially neutral observers, regarding
those changes. No details of the sug-
gestions will be made known until
Senor Alvear acts.
1t is understood the object of the
conference was to seek the support of
other South American neutrals of Ar
gentina's proposals.
The president has spent the past
twenty-four hours catching up"
In addition to securing information
for his own use, he has been ques-
toned by the French and British rep
resentatives on a number of big ques-
tions that have arisen in his absence,
in order to get his views.
1t was expected that Premier Or
lando would meet the president on
Friday afternoon, but he failed to do
so. however, IL was expected t1dt
President Wilson would confer with
the Italian statesman today or Mon
day at the latest.
German Terms.
The German terms are the most
urgent matter 'on hand, while the
Italians are concerned mostly with
Austria and Serbia.
It is believed that the conference
will have reached definite decisions
on practically all of the questions af-
fecting Germany by Wednesday, and
the Germans may be called in about
March %. One troublesome question
that will probably he threshed out in
the meantime involves the old secret
treaties. which the European dele
gates regard as "gentlemen's agree
ments." and President Wilson's four
teen points. which call for the wip-
ing out of all secret arrangements.
While French is accepted as the
language of diplomacy. many OF the
conference discussions are carried
out in English. Some time has been
lost through this arrangement. as
Premier Orlando of italy does not
understand English and has to have

The commander in chief, inspect

lines of soldiers more than an hour.
He talked to scores of doughboys who
wore wound stripes, inquiring If they
had fully recovered. and asking
others if they wanted to go home.
Without exception, they were eager
to return to America as soon as pos
sible for family and business reasons,
but all were perfectly willing, they
said. to serve as long as it is neces-
sary for the United States to keep an
army in Europe. In reply to a query
as to whether he was willing to stay
over here, one soldier replied:

: sICA MUST POINT WAY
) FOR LABOR.
<
npers Discusses Proposed
Labor Conference in
Washington.
(By John T. Patterson }

Paris, March 15.-U NJ S.)-Amer-
lea must point the way for labor in
the new world emerging from the
war.
THE United States will be a friend
of humanity in peace just as 1t was
friend of humanity in war;" said
Samuel Gompers today. in discussing
the recommendation of the commits
sion on international labor legisla-
tion that the first conference be held
in Washington next October.
1T is not only a compliment to
America to make such a proposal,
but a compliment to labor through
out the world. If the American ideals
in the peace treaty are to stand the
test of time, the American ideals as
to the standards of labor. which en-
lightened leaders of labor in all coun-
tries recognize, must have worldwide
influence in safeguarding peace and
good will.
"One of the practical results ex-
pected from the peace conference will
be pledge by labor in all free-g gov
erning and liberty-loving nations to
brand bolshevism as a mencae and an
enemy to civilizations 1t is thus hoped
by organized international effort,
aided by the league of nations and
"SH .oiueieu governments, forever 10
rid the earth of disturbing elements
which breed anarchy and discomfort"
Mr.. Gompers said that women will
play prominent part in the new pro-
gram. Since he came to France, the
president of the American Federation
of Labor has been besieged by French
women asking advice as to how to
better the conditions of French fe-
male workers.
The conference which is proposed
for Washington next October will in
clude delegates from all the countries
admitted to the league of nations.

German army officer today as he sur
veyed a quarter of the city that had
been wrecked in the fighting.
Uouvain was destroyed by the
Germans when they invaded Bel
gium. 1t was systematically pillaged
and burned)
The worst damage was done in the
district bordering Alexanderplatz,
which the Spartacans held for some
time. There was considerable loot
ing. One Spartacan prisoner carried
diamonds worth $4,000 marks. An
other had a fabulous roll of bank
notes, stolen from the Reichsbank.
The Reichsbank was in the hands
of the reds for a time. When the
government troops recaptured the
building they took seventy sailors.
The captives were released, but were
subsequently found fighting behind
barricades in the streets. After be-
ing stripped of their loot, they were
put to death.
