Paris March 1.-The council of the
great powers, today. began consideration
Of financial and economic problems
both as affecting the treaty Of peace and
permanent conditions after the war.
The subject was presented in two spe-
cific reports. One was from the financial
commission. of which Louis klotz
French minister of finance. is chairman
and Albert Strauss and Norman Davis
are the American members. The other
report was from the economic commits
sion. of which Albert Clemente. of
France. is chairman and Bernard NJ. Ba-
ruch. Vance Mccormick and DR. A. A.
Davis the American members.
The financial commissions report was
brief. Il does not embrace reparations
and indemnities for the war. as those
subjects are being considered separately.
Most of the headings were presented
without concentrations
One of the main headings concerns
war debts and debts made before the
war in enemy countries; whether they
are to be paid or repudiated. and. if
paid the manner and priority of pay

NEAR BEER BILL
PASSED BY SENATE;
MINISTER BACKS IT
Ex-DOmine Warns Against Fan
aticism; Machine Dealers
Charged With Trickery.

Helena. March 1.-The most impor-
tant bill passed by the senate on third
reading today was II. 4. 43G, to permit
the manufacture of malt and fermcnted
products containing one-half of one per
cent of alcohol. The bill. as it came
before the committee Of the whole. only
permitted threc-tenths of one per cent
of alcohol but DOMAINS amendment rails
ing it to a half of one per cent was
adopted over the opposition of Slayton
Anderson, a former clergyman favored
the amendment upon the grounds there
was no use to be fanatical in regard to
prohibition. that unless some such pro-
vision were made in the law the law
would be violated and instead If near
beers and soft drinks being manufac-
tured in Montana they would be import
cd from other states. He also said Ger
tain outside manufacturing interests
wanted to keep the limit at three -tcnths
Of one per cent. because then Montana
with large stocks on hand
would be required 10 make heavy invest
,nents in special machinery 50 as to make
he product on hand conform with the
law.
Larson also said that Montana brewer
les can manufacture malt products con
tanning not more than half Of one pcr

Women refugees who have arrived
here rarely complain of the general
treatment of women under bolshevik rule
IN Petrograd and Moscow. According to
the refugees and reports. there has
been no general application of the much
advertised easy divorce and easy ma
riase regulations. The province of Tula
made an attempt to nationahze women.
bat nothing came ~,f it. The same re-
suits followed similar decree issued
in Moscow
However. women Lave frequently
been subjected to mStreatment, as Illus
trated in the town of Briansk. Troops Of
the Red guard army. when they arrived
there. requisitioned 80 unmarried women
and 60 married women and women of
the nobility. In the provinces of Saratov.

and also that, if person of either sex
was not married, they were Obliged to

OIL LEASE BILL
|STALKED DEAD
BY[AFO[LETTE
Wants Lands DEVELOPED
Under Government
Plans.

Washington. March 1.-The oil and
coal land leasing bill virtually was killed,
late today. when obstruction led by
Senator LaFollette. Of Wisconsin re-
publican, prevented vote on the con.
ference report which had been adopted
by the house. Managers and opponents
OF the bill agreed there now is virtually
no chance Of obtaining action on the bill
before congress adjouIns.
In urging adoption of the conference
report before Senator LaFollette began
TO speak, Senator Piatman charged that
propaganda was being conducted against
the bill. He said criticisms appearing in
newspapers apparently were written by
persons who had never read the bill
Senator Pittman declared the bill as
agreed upon by the conference was more
favorable to the government than when
it passed either the senate or house.
Senator LaFollette spoke three and
a half hours and only yielded the floor
to permit the Victory loan bill being
laid before the senate, with the under
standing that if the oil bill was again
brot up, he would not be barred from
speaking.
The senator devoted most of his ad-
dress to m attack on the senate rules
giving conference reports priority over
the matter and on the practice of bring
ing in such reports on important bills
late in the sessions.
In opposing the oil bill. the senator
said oil and coal and other minerals
should be held for the benefit of the
people ard that, instead Of passing a
general leasing law at this time, ron.
gress should work out general pro-
gram for developing these lands and
frame proper legislation to carry it into
effect

WILSON WANTS NO THIRD TERM;
BUT TO RETIRE TO WRITE HISTORY

Washington, March In regard to published reports
that President Wilson told democratic committeeman who
lunched with him Friday that he would not accept nomina-
ton for third term it stated today the White House
that the subject of President Wilson again being candidate
not mentioned.
1t explained that the president merely remarked to
his guests that he yearned to get back to writing and that
he had in contemplation the compiling of history.
Some of those who attended the luncheon today they
gained the impression that the president meant he would
retire to private life at the end of his term
1t also stated that the president evnced deep feeling
against opponents OF the league of nations He said
have expressed the view that the league should an Amer
can and not partisan issue, but that if the republican
state committees should reject proposal to endorse the
league the democratic state committees then would be free
to act independently.
