Lansing Welcomes
Greater Serbia to
Council OF Nations

PARIS, Feb. T by The Associated
Press) of State Lansing, in
statement issued o-day, says that
the government of the United States
welcomes the union Of the Serbian,
Croatian and Slovenian peoples.
Mr.. Lansing adds that the final set
tlement of the territorial frontier of
the new state must be left to the peace
conference, in keeping with the desires
of the peoples concerned. The state
ment reads:
"on May %, 1918. the government
of the United States expressed it's
sympathy for the nationalstic aspir-
atoms of the Jugo Slav, races, and on
June 20 declared that all branches of
the Slav race should be completely
freed from German and Austrian rule
After having achieved their freedom
from foreign oppression the Jugo-Slavs
formerly under Austro- Hungarian rule
on various occasions expressed their
desire to unite with the Kingdom of
Serbia. The Serbian government, on
its part, has publicly and officially ac-
cepted the union of the Serbian, Croa-
tian and Slovenian peoples.
1.-The government of the United
States, therefore, welcomes the union
while recognizing that the final settle
mcnt of territorial frontiers must be
lett to the peace conference for ad-
Judication according to the desires of
the peoples concerned"

80 Killed in Bremen
rs Ebert Forces Vim
En Fight With Reds

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 7. There are
thirty dead and more than one hun
dfcd wounded in Bremen hospitals as
a result of the recent fighting there
in which government forces defeated
Spartacans, and it is believed the
casualties will largely exceed this num-
Der, according to Berlin dispatch to
the "Telegraaf."
The latest incident of the use of the
strike weapon against the German ex-
tremsts occurred in Hamburg, where
railway men refused to operate trains
on which the Soldiers and Workmen's
Council intended to send reinforce
ments to Spartacans at Bremen.
BERLIN, Feb. 5 (By The Associated
Press).--uncontirmed press dispatches
from Bremen indicate that the insur-
gents there arc continuing guerilla
warfare in the outskirts of the city
and in the harbor, notwithstanding
the governments claim that the up
rising was quelled on Tuesday. The
casualties are estimated at thirty dead
and 100 wounded, the insurgents be-
ing the heaviest losers.
Property damage is believed to be
slight, as the communists did not stub
hornly defend their stronGholds and
beat a retreat toward the suburbs as
soon as government troops began to
advance.

Soon afte that he pesuaded his wife
to give him a divorce in order TO en-
able him to marry Miss Carrie Rand.
The divorce was said to have been OBJ
tanned by Miss Rand's mother paying
to Professor Herron's wife the sum of
$4,000, the acceptance of which she
admitted. The chair of Applied Chris
tlanity at the University of Iowa was
endowed for the occupancy Of Pro
fessor Heron by Mrs. Rand, who was
said to have contributed $60.O0o.
Professor Herron's free love views
were responsible for his expulsion
from the University of Iowa as we'll as
from the Congregational Church of
that state. Farmers and their wives
who listened to his sermons did not
like ms novel ideas and demanded that
he separate himself from their church.
His expulsion from the university fol-

wife and two children and his going
to live at the Rands' home This was
followed by the divorce of his wife by
Mr.. Heron. He and the Rands came
to New York. where they resided at
59 West Forty-fifth Street. This was
in May, 1901.
Mr.. Heron and Miss Rand soon
after announced their love marriage.

P0,Uers Seek to Pledge
Peace Conference to
Territorial Claim.

PARIS, Feb 1.-THE number of ter
ritorial conflicts now appearing in
peace conference circles, it is said in
some quarters, is attributable to the
prospects of an early realization of a
society of nations plan, which will in
volve the examination of all such
claims by legal tribunal of the So
ciety for adjudication, with due regard
to the wishes and welfare of the in
habitants of the districts in dispute.
1t is thought some of the powers
whose titles to territories in conflict
rest on ancient historical ties would
prefer to commit the peace conference
to their support in advance of the
adoption of society of nations plan.
If they could do this they would avoid
conflict between their claims and the
principles which may be laid down in
the society of nations.
The community of interest of some
nations in certain questions has led to
hints Of cooperation between those ma
tions to make up majority in the
conference. Gossip in the corridors
even mentions threats of resistance to
any decisions adverse to those inter
csts. The special commission working
on the society of nations plan is not
moved by these rumors, however, and
is going about its work quietly but
rapidly.
Claims Referred for Scrutiny
At the same time the Supreme Coun-
Gil, in short daily sessions, continues
it's policy of hearing patiently all
claims and generally referring them to
special or standing committees for
thorough examination, although this
procedure, it Ia understood, is not \cn-
tirely agreeable to all the powers in
terested.
Secret treaties made under the
stress Of war, and which may be con-
sidered out Of harmony with the prin-
ciples on which a society Of nations
is being organized, have provoked a
great deal Of comment. The American
delegates. at least, have said that such
agreements, in so far as they are in
conflict with the principles OF soci-
ETY. Of nations, must give way.
Some other powers, while not open
ly depending upon these arrangements,
have reserved their decision as to their
final attitude. Meanwhile, with the
thought of lessenng the existing con-
troversies and of avoiding unpleasant
scenes in the final meetings before the
departure of Premier Lloyd George
and President Wilson. efforts are be-
ing made by influential personages to
compose the differences between indi-
vidual states. The efforts are said TO
have prospects of success.
