Paris, March 2S--In laying her
claims before the council of four to-
day, France asked, first of all, that her
boundaries as fixed by the treaty OF
Paris. May 80, 1914, be restored to her
together with the Saar basin.
In the Rhine province on the left
bank of the Rhine, it was stipulated
the Germans should have political au-
tonomy but should not be permitted to
establish Notifications, occupy the ter
ritory with armed forces. nor control
the railways. Thus the Rhine would
serve France as natural frontier.
Treaty OF 1914.
The treaty of Paris in 1914 provided
that France renounce her claims on
Belgium and the left bank Of the
Rhine and return to the boundaries as
they existed n 1892, before the revolu-
ton. This compelled France to con-
fine herself to the provinces OF Alsace
and Lorraine west of the Rhine, those
territories having been under French
control since 1859. 1t was enormously
reported from Paris last night that
France had demanded her 1914 from
tiers, which would have excluded Al
SAGE and Lorraine from her claims be-
fore the peace conference.

SCIENCE CHURCH ANSWERS.

Boston, March, 2s.--The temporary
injunction issued Tuesday restrain
ing the First Church of Christ
Scientist from interfering with the
Christian Science Publishing Society.
was yesterday ordered continped
pending q hearing.
Construction Of two trusts created
by the late Mary Baker G. Eddy,
founder ofthe church, is involved in
this action.
It, is alleged in the bill that the
directors Of the church, since the
passing OF Mrs. Eddy "have been
gradually endeavoring to assume and
exercise powers with regard to the
publishing society which the directors
never assumed or attempted to eXer-
else" during her lifetime.
: After hearing brief arguments. Su-
preme Court Justice H. X. Braley
ordered the pleadings to be completed
April 4, when he will appoint mas
ter court to hear the facts, unless
counsel agree upon a master.
Former Governor John L. Bates, ap-
pearing for all the respondents except
John v. Dittemore, said that he re-
presented the directors Of a great
church extending, over all the world
and that the respondents, who were
carrying out what they believed to be
the purpose Of the founder of that
church, had been enjoined without no.
tice.
II the respondents had been told of
the proposed litigation, he continued.
there would not have been any need
for an injunction.
Mr.. Bates stated that thousands Of
printed copies Of the complaint had
been sent to members of the church
for the purpose, he thought, of Gre
ating a sentiment in favor of the
complainants.
Mr. Bates read into the record
copy of telegram which he said had
been sent by che trustees of the pub
fishing society .te. nawspapers in the
United States end. Canada Ehe tele-
gram asked the papers to prevent. pub
lication OF "unauthori1ede statements
regarding the. case, and added. that
any desired Information would be fur
nished by the society,".
He suggested that in view of the
methods taken to. influence members
of the Christian Science church it
might be possible that the court would
not longer continue the Injunction.

feated the Van Camp measure propos-
ing a constitutional amendment to en-
able cities and towns TO establish,
maintain and operate municipal coal
yards.

ty attacked the bill, declaring its pro-

should operate business that is not at
heart in the distinction Of public en-
terprise."
Insurance rating bureaus are pro-
vided for in q bill introduced by the
senate committee on insurance. In
stead Of just one rating bureau as was
the case under the rating law repealed

number of bureaus, but all fire, wind

REVISION CAUSES WORRY.
Senators Ask Facts in World League
CharueS.

Washington. March 29.-The latest
shift in the league, of nations covenant
as reported in cable dispatches from
Paris is viewed with considerable anx-
iety by senators who have followed the
peace conference developments. The
reported elimination of amendments to
safeguard the Monroe doctrine and TO
prevent the settlement of immigration:
and racial problems by the league was
particularly disturbing.
A few days ago administration sena-
tors were jubilant because the con-
ferees were reported to have accepted
an amendment definitely protecting
the, Monroe doctrine. They claimed
that as result of this action the op-
position to the league would fade away
and that no barrier of consequences
would be raised against ratification OF
the treaty by the senate, These calcu-
lations appear now to have been prem
ature.
Several senators complained bitterly
Of the lack of positive information from
Paris. Senator Johnson Of California,
referred to this as a ''sin and CRIME
which corfuscs the senator's
Senator Borah said he had been so
bothered by the conflicting reports
that he wouldn't say anything units
the text of the league covenant mas
been given to the public. @a4
Several expressed hope that the
covenant might be laid before the
Senate soon in order that this confus-
ion might be removed. /.
Senator Mccormick of Illinois, made
it plain, that if the league covenant
does not contain specific provisions to
protect the inviolability of the Monroe
doctrine and to exclude immigration
control from the jurisdiction OF the
league, a fight will be made in the
Senate to amend the constitution.
He said:
IF an amendment were offered de-
claring that the United States will not
permit any violation Of the. Monroe
doctrine, how many senators would
dare vote against it? If an amend
ment were offered to the effect that
the United States reserved the right
to build as big a navy as she cared 10,
who would vote against that? And if
another amendment providing that i'm
migration be controlled by this coun-
try without the help Of the league
were offered, how many senator's
would vote against it?''
