REVIEWS RECOMMENDATION

Secretary Baker renewed his recommen- dation that provision be made for the maintenance of an army of 509O00 men during the next year. He said it would be impossible at this time to determine accurately what the average number of men would be for the year and that it would be unsafe to provide for less than would be needed.
 The secretary requested that Congress take up the problem of what should be done with war projects uncompleted when the armistice was signed. The depart ment was reluctant. he said. to use money appropriated for war emergencies for completing the projects and believed it wise that Congress should be consulted.
 General March, reviewing progress in demobilization, said facilities had now been provided for the return of 365. 900 men month and that if the peace treaty were ratified and an army of occupation found unneeded. every soldier in Euaope could be returned by September 1.

SAYS SITUATION MUDDLED
ey Associated Press

Dresden, May 29.-Herr Schwartz economic minister, who has returned hero from Versailles after his with drawal from the German peace delega- tion, which he had criticized, asserts that the peace situation in Paris has been badly muddied by the entente leaders M. Clemenceau, he goes on to say, has been forced to adopt every theatrical device, such as lining the Paris boulevards with German can non, to induce the French people to be- lieve that Germany would make com plete reparation.
 President Wilson's politics, he de- clares, are clearly discernible in an at- tempt to drive wedge between Ger many and Russia, "as he betrays fear of an understanding between Germany Russia and Japan, which would be bound to be inimical to Anglo-Amer- ican interests.

MORE TIME ASKED

Paris, May 2O-The Austrian treaty, which was to have been presented to the Austrians tomorrow, has been withheld until Monday. The smaller powers of eastern Europe asked for more time be- fore giving their assent to the treaty. This was accorded by common consent and the plenary session for agreeing to the treaty went over to Saturday, while presentation of the document to the Aus trians was postponed until Monday.
 The change in the plans came unexpect- edly this afternoon as the allied powers gathered in secret session at the foreign office for the purpose of passing on the terms The session was largely attended and great crowds assembled in front of the building to give President Wilson M. Clemenceau. Premier Paderewski and other notables welcoming salutes as they arrived. The Marquis Imperiali and the other new members of the Italian dele gation were present for the first time.
 The parts of the treaty already com pleted emitting the military terms separations and sections of the frontier settlement were distributed to the dele gations in printed form and M. Tardieu was about to supplement these with a general summary of the document. The expectation was that this would be fol- lowed by vote of approval, permitting the instrument to be delivered Friday.
 
 ano of Rumania gained recognition. He said that on behalf of Poland, Serbia, Rumania and various countries whose in terests were vitally affected by the treaty, that they wanted 1S hours more time for the examination of the docu- ment- M. Bratiano spoke in entire good feeling with no suggestion of a protest, emphasizing the fact that the only de- sire of the smaller powers was to have sufficient time to understand the terms co seriously affecting them before com mitting themselves finally to acceptance. He made no motion beyond the request for s hours.
 M. Clemenceau asked if any discussion was desired No objections being made. A. Clemenceau with his usual finality, said that the request seemed fair, and since there was no objection. he would announce that an additional 4s hours would be granted. Thus the plenary session would go over until Saturday, and the document would be delivered two days later.
 This prevailed without objection and

DEMOCRATS CLOSE TWO-DAY SESSION
 WITH REVIEW OF

By Associated Prs.

Chicago, May 29.-Members
 of the democratic national com
 mittee closed two-day ses-
 sion tonight by adopting a dec
 laration offered by P. H. Quinn national committeeman from
 Rhode Island, reviewing the
 achievements of President Will son and the democratic Con-
 gresses and urging support of all independent and progress sive voters in tEe 1920 cam-
 paign to perpetuate ~--v-e pol icies.
 The statement. after mentioning the constructive and progressive legis!a- tion passed by the last democratic Congress, approves President Wilson's conduct of the war and concludes as follows:
 Within 20 years our nation under a republican administration conducted a foreign war The record of that party in that war is still matter Of current reading and of public discus- sion We simply ask the people to draw their own conclusions s to which party served it's country best in war | and in peace. No American President. with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln, was ever so persistently, pur- posely and in many instances maiiCi- ously misrepresented and maligned ds our great leader has beon, and we be-
 lieve that as he parallels Lincoln in that respect, so will the future history ! of our country view his accomplish | ments with the same high esteem as [ those, of the great ancipator. | AS the first national political or 1 ganzation to record itself'in favor of
 woman suffrage and as the first to well come the women into full participation i into party councils. we deplore and condemn the 'dilatory tactics of the re-
 publican party in the closing hours
 of the last session of Congress which resulted in the failure of the suffrage 1 resolution at time when it's proro- nents were assured of the requisise
 number of votes to accomplish IFS passage.
