Paris, Feb. 7.-By the Associated
Press)-The feeling in peace conference
circles is that the Germans are more and
more forgetting their position and it Is
expected that the supreme war council
will take measures to bring them to Il
sense Of the realities.
Marshal Foch will go to Treves, Feb
ruary II. to fix the conditions for a
third renewal Of the armistice.
1t is understood that the council viii
fix brief time within which the Ger
mans must carry out the conditions they
have only fulfilled in part. None of the
German merchant ships which were to
have been sent to certain allied ports has
yet been handed over.
French opinion considers that the oc-
cupation of Essen is of first necessity
ii the allies are to control Germany's s
principal war factories. Public opinion
in France also is asking if the supreme
war council is going to allow Field
Marshal Won Hindenburs to prepare
campaign against Poland.

Washington, Feb. President VIII
son has been asked to name committee
Of industrial leaders and government
representatives which will have the pow
or to investigate and suggest scale OF
prices for basic commodities at which
the government viii buy during the post
war period, Secretary OF Commerce Red
field announced today.
The step was taken after conferences
of producers and labor representatives
and government officials who were unan-
imous, Secretary Rerfield said, in recon-
mending it.
General unemployment and industrial
depression were threatened, Secretary
Redfield said, by the waiting tendency
noticed in nearly all industries. due to a
doubt as to the trend Of prices, and it
was decided that, if some one having Of
fetal sanction could determine the price
levels for the government itself, this
would furnish a guide for private enter
prise in resuming activities.
There is no prospect in the immediate
future of restoration of pre-war prices,
Mr.. Redfield's statement said.

acted as division heads of the war

a challenge to "the workers to start
the class war" 1t was announced that
an attempt would be made Immediately
to close all industries in the city includ-

consulted.

SOCIALISTS ADVOCATE
LEAGUE AND PLEB|sCITE

Berne. Switzerland, Thursday, Feb
6--Territorial questions were taken up
today by the international socialist con
ference. The conference had before it
for discussion a committee resolution
containing these main points:
The right of self determination of all
peoples in dlsputable cases shail be SET
tied by plebiscite.
A society of nations must protect OPP
pressed and threatened ninorities.
THE result Of the deliberations on
these questions will be submitted to the
peace conference in Paris. Indications
TODAY were that the socialist conference
would adjourn Sunday.
There is still vast amount of mate
rial to be examined in German quarters
regarding responsibility for the outbreak
of the war, said Kurt Eisner. the Ba-
yarian premier, in discussing this subject
with the correspondent today.
King Wanted Belgium Annexed.
.aTbe entire archives are as vet unex
amined" Hnrr Eisner said, 'but already
much material has been found in the
secret archives of the Munich diplomatic
correspondence proving Germany's guilt,
her responsibility for beginning the war.
"For instance there is a record Of
conversation between King Ludwig of
Rayaria and Count Won Schoen, the for
NOR German ambassador at Paris, which
was found among Count Won Hertling s
papers, which shows that Germany de-
sired war The conversation took place
in August. 1914, the king telling the ann
bassador that this war must have diff
ferent result from that Of the war Of
1870. and that Belgium must be annexed
to Germany.
Wanted Mouth of Rhine.
s&To this.'' continued Herr Eisner, *the
king added. Germany must also acquire
the mouth of the Rhine. even at the ex-
pense of the violation of Dutch territory
Furthermore. Bavaria must be given
portion of Alsace-Lorraine in the latter
case Bavaria would renounce her terrific
ries in Baden and Hesse.'"
Emperor William was undoubtedly di-
rectly to blame for precipitating the war,
Herr Eisner said. "but the military caste
was responsible to a greater extent for
bringing it about They must all be tried,
but by a German tribunal he insisted.
He is in favor of all stolen property be-
ing restored and the robbers severely
punished.
