OCCUPATION IN GERMANY. January
26-Serious injustice, I believe, is i'm
posed upon American officers return
ing home by the War Department
order prohibiting the wearing by them
of the same uniforms in which they
served in France.
Omcers embarking for home are pro-
hibited from wearing overseas CABS,
trench coats or Sam Brown belts. It
is necessary therefore for a returning
ofncer to spend a considerable part of
his hard-earned pay in buying a new
outfit The loss is especially severe on
reserve officers who are mustered out.
Good Enough cover There"
The officers feel that the uniforms
which were sufficiently good over here.
where they were Offering their lives
to the country. ought to suffice for the
qufeter and more peaceful surround
ings Of America
There is a distinct feeling that the
order was issued at the behest Of men
whose going over the top" was limit
ed to such tops as are found on roll
top desks In Washington.
Even the division shoulder insignia
worn by officers and forming the
strongest incentive to fighting spirit
in the trenches is prohibited in
America SO far as officers are con-
cerned. While the Sam Brown belt is
more ornamental than valuable in
warding of the winter cold, still
stripping a returning officer of this
portion of his uniform means more
than merely humbling his pride. After
wearing the belt in rain and sunshine
its removal leaves a broad mark on
the faded uniform, and it becomes
necessary to bury a complete new uni
form in order to receive the enthu-
sfasttc approval of the home tailors

Wireless service). - The airplanes
which are carrying the peace con-
ference delegates and important docu-
ments between London and Paris are
to be equipped with wireless tele-
phone apparatus. This will enable the
pilots to speak to one another while
in the air and will also enable them
to receive frequent weather reports
and instructions from the ground.
The British army during the war, it
is declared, perfected the wireless
telephone so that pilots could speak
to the ground and to one another at
a distance of fifteen miles The only
difficulty in communication at greater
distances was the consideration OF
the weight of larger instruments. Be-
tween airships, for instance, II is
possible to carry on a conversation at
a distance of fifty miles.

anxious to convince the American
people that professional soldiers

armed forces in Europe are continual
iy conspirng for power and place
and giving little thought to the broad
interests Of their fellow countrymen
or humanity.
Conversations recently held with
various generals on active service on
this side of the Atlantic convince me
that they are men of exceptional
vision and lovers Of peace and human
1ty. Some of those who made magrifi-
cant records as fighters in the great
battles of last year revealed themselves
as close students of world affairs,
deeply anxious that an end shall be
made of war by IA wise peace and hav-

Confederation With Power.

This most serious situation would re-
quire league of nations amounting to
a confederation with sufficient power to
give national security. Yet none of the
government plans for a league of ma
tions seem to answer the requirements,
and II the conference does not develop
more radical plans it is likely that the
league Of nations will assume an unim-
portant role in meeting the needs of
the world.
Two more years of the present eco
nomic situation under the old political
and military systems of Europe would
undoubtedly bring on fundamental gov
ernmental changes in all the countries
Of Europe. No makeshift plan will SUI
flee.

brutal greed asked a civilian why
America should not insist upon demand
ing an early peace, demanding accept
able terms under pain of Europe's early
eruption into another ruinous war, but
leaving Europe to bear the burdens of
administering peace on European soil.
Surely the militaristic spirit
shown in such questions manifests a
patriotic sentiment grounded upon ex-
perience and reflection gained amid the
most illuminating surroundings.
On the subject of peace terms I will
say further that my observations here
In the Rhine country tend strongly to
confirm certain views expressed to me
by various officers of the American Sd
Army whose duties require them to
study the mental attitude of the Ger

PARIS. January 25-Samuel Com
pers, in a conference with the leaders of
the French General Labor Confedera-
ton, opposed the idea Of an International
labor congress in Bern, Switzerland.
Mr., Gompers said that American pub
lie opinion would object to American
labor men meeting with German dele
gates before peace was signed. The
French replied that the argument Mr..
Gompers used against the international
congress last summer was that Amer
lean laborers could not meet the Ger
mans while Germany was under an inn
pe-ialistio government. They pointed
out that the government was now chang
ed and that it would be the same after
peace is signed as it is at present, add
ing that it was important for labor
throughout the world to present a uni
form program to the peace conference

cessful indeed. that American arms
necessarily would be called upon to
maintain order and benevo1ently ap-
ply policies of enlightenment in re-
giors remote from Americas proper
sphere of influence at heavy cost to
it's independence in world affairs.
Some called attention to the fact the
demobilized German armies have now
become German labor. applicable to all
manner of productive industries, where
as the armies of the victorious nations
are still withheld from the farms and
factories. They emphasized the further
fact that American money is still being
poured out in Europe in pursuance of

of Mr. Wilson'S insistence that all

that the commissioners will know
that the American people are against

Americans Without Definite Plan.

1t is believed that the American
commission has no definite plan to
propose to delegates Immediately, but
rather hopes that the discussion VIII
bring out points of contact, thereby
enabling the powers to help the Rus
slams to solve their difficulties. 1t is
significant that the chief opposition
comes from NJ Hazonof and Prince
Iyoff, men who perhaps represent
the more conservative views. Mr.
Hazonof was long in the Russian dip
lomatic service under the car and it
is believed that his mind has under
gone little change in the direction of
more liberal attitude toward the
laborer and peasant of Russia, which
is absolutely essential to future peace
Russian Indebtedness an Issue.
The crux of the Russian situation is
the money owed to other nations. 1t
is believed that it will be possible for
the powers to obtain the payment OF
the debt to other nations. but 1t is
not believed likely that the Russians
will pay money owed to Russians.
