Berlin, April. 13 (Delayed) Omitted
Press 1.-The Germans are becoming
more and more imbued with the idea
that although they have lost the war
they are winning in the peace con-
ference. This is largely q develop
ment of the past month. Two months
ago the Germans were ready to accept
any peace the allies might impose.
Now the people are becoming indepen-
dent to the extent of "cockiness."
Il do not know whether the atti-
tude here is the natural result of the
delays in Paris and the continuous
stream of reports of allied differences
which are widespread in the German
press, or whether it is part of an or
ganized plan on the part of the Ger
mans.
PROBABLY BOTH.
1t is probably both, for members of
the old regime certainly are making
the most of the situation endeavoring
to educate the Germans up to the idea
they ought to turn Bolshevik If the
peace terms are unsatisfactory, and
that if the allies can hardly agree
among themselves when there are no
Germans present a few German dip

WILSON SAYS SPEEDY
SETTLEMENT ON ALL
ISSUES NOW ASSURED

Paris, April Is Omitted Press)-
President Wilson yesterday gave
out the following statement:
IN view of the fact that the
questions which must be settled in
the peace with Germany have
brought so near complete solution
that they can now quickly be put
through the final processes of
drafting. those who have been
most constantly in conference
about them have decided to advise
that the German plenipotentiaries be
invited to meet representatives Of
the associated belligerent nations
at Versailles on the 25th of April.
This does not mean that the
many other questions connected
with the general peace settlement
considerat ton, which has long been
under way will be retarded. On
the contrary, it is expected that
rapid progress will now be made
with those questions, so that they
may also presently be expected to
be ready for final settlement.
1T is hoped that the questions
most directly affecting Italy, espe-
cially the Adriatic question, will be
given, for the time, precedence
over other questions and pressed by
continual study to its final stage.
THE settlements that belong es-
pecially to the treaty with Ger
many will in this way be got out
of the way by the time that the
to q complete formulation. 1t is
realized that, though this process
must be followed, all the questions
of the present great settlement are
parts of a single whole"

8 EASTERN STATES
New England Practically Cut
Off From Outside World; In
Boston Not One Operator Re-
ports for Work.

Boston, April 15.-New England,
with the exception of Connecticut, was
practically cut off from telephone con-
nection with the outside world, follow
ing the strike of 5000 telephone oper-
ators at o'clock this morning.
Reports from Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont showed that the
strike was put into effect with re-
markable speed and without disorder.
In Boston it was said that not one
of the several thousand girls reported
for work today. Hospitals, doctors,
factories, hotels and brokers were Sc
riously hampered in their work.
The police department is in readi-
ness to handle emergencies which may
arise as result of the strike. AS
many fire alarms are sent by telc-
phone the fire department took extra
precautions in answering all alarms.
SWAMPED WITH MESSAGES.
A great amount of the telephone
business was turned over to the tele-
graph companies with the result that
offices throughout New England were
swamped with messages.
Small boys reaped a harvest as
iiiVSocHScIS at VI pIlCtS.
A report that the strike pickets
would appear "all fused up" in Eas-
ter millinery caused hundreds of per-
sons to go out of their way to pass
the exchanges. They were not dis
appointed. The millinery was plen-
tiful and many various colors.
UNOERTAkERS ON JOB.
Undertakers hastily inserted adver-
tising advising the public to use taxi
cabs at their expense in case Of death.
Brokers declared they would lose
thousands of dollars. Many custo-
mers rushed messengers with orders
to sell and the messengers arrived
after the stock had dropped. They re-
ported that much of the curb market
business would be transferred to New
York.
Orders are said to have been re-
ceived by the New England Telephone
& Telegraph company from Postmas-
ter General Burleson, directing that
strikebreake be placed in the COM
pany's exchanges.

Invasion of American Hospital
in Korea by Jap Gendarmes
Considered Serious; U. S.
Making Thorough Probe.

Toxic, April ID (Delayed)-
Omitted Press) Viscount lshi,
Japanese ambassador to the United
States, is returning to Japan to
resign his post because he is piqued
at the failure of the imperial gov
ernment to select him as a dele
gate to the peace conference, the
Asashi Shimbun, an independent
newspaper declares today.
Washington, April Is - Omitted
Press.)-Viscount Ishii, Japanese am
bassador to the United States, will re-
turn to Japan shortly for a confer
ence with his government" it was
stated authoritatively here today.
Significance is attached to this
action in view of the Japanese sit
uation in Paris, where the Toxic
delegates are threatening to with
draw from the peace conference,
and in view of numerous diff
culties" that have arisen recently
in the relations between the
United States and Japan.
IMPORTANT MATTERS'
The ambassador goes to Toxic to
lay important matters regarding the
Japanese situation before his govern
ment, the United Press was informed.
He has not been recalled as
ambassador, it is understood, but
there is some doubt in diplomatic
quarters that he will return to
Washington.
Following the reports to the de-
partment that an American hospital
in 40 anti nv To-,
ese gendarmes and Korsan patients
in the building arrested and removed,
together with the reported arrest Of
Rev. Ely NJ. Mowry, Presbyterian mis-
sonary to Korea, officials today inti-
mate that "A serious situation has
been born
DIFFICULTIES INCREASING.
Difficulties seem to be rapidly in
creasing between the two nations. Re-
ported Japanese infringcments on
American rights in Korea are being
carefully investigated by this govern
ment Previously there has been a
growing feeling in Japan against the
United States for President Wilson's
refusal to sanction clause in the
league of nations covenant which
would insure against racial discrirni-
nations by any nation against the ori-
entails. There also has been strong
anti American propaganda circulated
in Japan for some time and the feeling
between the United States and Japan
ese troops in the Orient is not good.
NO APPARENT MOTIVE.
Ishii first indicated his intention to
return several weeks ago,
1t was stated today that there Is
nothing in the situation between the
United States and Japan that would
require his resigning the post here
Nevertheless, both officials and diplo-
mats understand he will not return
He is not one of the Hara party now
predominant in Japan, and while he
has worked in close harmony with the
Hara ministry it is believed he may
have differences in policy.
He was appointed to the ambassa- =
dorship here by former Premier Te-
rauchi, following his successful con-
clusion of the famous Lansing-Is
pact in 1917. by which the United
States recognized Japan's legitimate
sphere Of influence in far eastern af-
tairs.
