of evidence that had to be produced
at the trial of his would-be murderer,
Emile Coffin. M. Clemenceau, how
ever, happens to be particularly fond
of those garments, and he asked M.
Ienace, undersecretary Of state for
war. to let him have them back quick
". M. Ignace replied in tones OF gen.

the hands of the judiciary and that
under the rules it would be quite i'm
possible to part with them until the
case was past the appeal stage.
Then M. Clemenceau, who is an en-
envy of red tape, did what in French
is described as an "efficacious act" the
nature Of which is not specified, but
may be- surmised. His garments came

Plymouth, Mass.-Long sought by

a house in Castle street here recent

A huge quantity of material for the
manufacture of liquor was seized.
A rear room was fitted as the dis

tank, with coils and "drips" and in

with a mixture of molasses, raisins,
lemons, water and other ingredients.
The police also found five gallons OF
liquor, apparently freshly made.

Again, the children often cannot be-
made to attend school, and the youths
cannot be induced to do any work. Ihe
children play truant for days ana
weeks together, and the youths leave
their work for any trivial reason or
none.
Children and young people are con-
stantly quarreling until they come 10
blows; they have no respect for tneir
teachers, parents or elders; they INSULT

BY JULIAN GRANDE.


Berne.-During the war have been
several times in England, France and
Italy, but since the arnistice / have
been obliged to remain here, in the
heart of Europe. Consequently | cam
not say how the war seems to have af-
fected the people either in my own
country or in those of our allies or in
the United States. If, however, were
asked how it has affected people on
the continent generally, I should say
that it has made them more nervous,
and some Of them even nervous
wrecks.
Perhaps nowhere was this more no.
uceable than at the meetings of the In
ternational Socialist Labor congress,
attended by delegates from q coun-
tries. l have spoken to delegates from
most of these lands, and there was not
a single one who did not show signs of
extreme nervousness. Either Re was
constantly clasping and unclaSping his
fingers, or he was fidgeting in his
chair, or constantly blinking his eyes.
Moreover, if / asked one or other to
Jot down something for me on paper, /
noticed that his hand positively trem-
bled as he wrote; and when a delegate
addressed the congress he usually ex-
hibited still more marked signs of
overstrained nerves. Several delegates
to whom I spoke volunteered the in
formation that they slept very baby at
IN
independent, for not one knew what
the others had been saying to me. To
some suggested that perhaps they
were doing too much mental work.
NO." was the reply, "even the laboring
classes in our country are not sleeping
well just now"
In Austria, for instance, the people
are suffering from what may be called
a sobbing sickness, which is the result
primarily Of nervousness. Both men
and women suddenly begin to sob, and
very often continue sobbing even in
think this malady is due to unwhole-
some food, which causes stomach dila-
ton; others attribute it to nervous
ness alone. In some cases this nerv-
BUSINESS has become so acute that peo-
pie have attacks in the night not I'M
like an epileptic fit. The sufferer be-
gins by feeling choking sensation,
then cries out, and finally becomes
quite unconscious, very often remain
ing so for 20 minutes or even half an
hour, after which he falls into deep
sleep. Afterward he remembers moth
ing whatever about what has happened

any attempt of the bolsheviki to over
run Europe by force. The premier as
serted that there is complete accord
among the allied commissioners, and
then he launched into a bitter attack
OF Lord Northcliffe, whose newspapers,
he said, had been striving to SOW dis
cord among the allies, to make France
distrust Britain and hate America, and
America dislike France, and Italy
quarrel with everybody. He called at
tention to the fact that the Northcliffe
papers, which formerly ardently sup
ported President Wilson, are now hys-
terically attacking all his great ideals,
and alluded to the diseased vanity"
of their proprietor and his disappOint-
ment because he had not been called
on to save the world. With the ex-
ception, of course, of the Northcliffe
papers, the London press gave consid-
cradle praise to the premier's speech,
and his rejection of any idea of mill
tary action in Russia was especially
we'll received.

agreement among the allied powers is
incorrect in any particular, the dis
crepancy involves Italy. At the close
of the week the problem of Fiume had
not been solved and the Italians had
repeated their informal threats to re-
fuse to sign the treaty with Germany
unless that city were given to them in
stead of to the Jugo-Slavs, as Presi-
dent Wilson wishes. The threats were
not taken seriously, however, and it
was believed that after the British pre-
mier returned to Paris that difficulty
would be adjusted. The treaties with
Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulga-
ria may not be ready for several
weeks after that with Germany is
signed.
An interesting report printed in the
Frankfort Gazette says the German
peace delegates are prepared to ask
from the allies payment for damages
sustained from aerial attacks, from
the occupation of German territory by
allied troops and for the delay in con-
Guiding peace, which caused prolong-
alton Of the bolshevik and Spartacan
troubles. 1t is easy to guess how far
they will get with such demand.
The peace commissioners, or at least
the correspondents in Paris, were
somewhat worried by the setting up
of the communist government in Mu-
Mich, fearing lest this might make nee
essary separate treaty with Bavaria,
the second state in the German confed-
Grafton. But it may be that before the
treaty is presented the regime of the
communists will have come to an end.
They have been having a very stormy
time SO far and the troops of the So
cialist government have been pressing
them hard, though some of the, soldiers
have joined the communists. That
the food boycott Of the peasants
against Munich is effective is shown
by the fact that the communist gov
eminent has asked for loan of mil
lion marks from Italy for the purpose
Of buying food. 1t is said that chaos
rules in Munich, all work has ceased,
no trains are running and the banks,
shops and houses are being looted.
The DEGREES issued by the communists
are many and radical, one ordering
the communication Of all women, in
Guiding wives.
In other parts of Germany there
was continuous disorder and strikes
were started in many places. After
further severe fighting in Magdeburg
the Ebert troops gained entire posses
sion of the city. In Berlin the en-
ployees in various industries struck be-
cause they were not given voice in
the management, and the soldiers and
noncommissioned officers Of the army
there also declared they would strike
if the order reducing their pay to
a peace-time basis was not rescinded.
Troubles with the workmen in Bremen
stopped the unloading Of American
food ships there. In the Cologne dis
trict, occupied by the British, General
Plumer ordered the strikers to return
to work at once and threatened the Sc
we're punishment of all persons TO-
menting or countenancing strikes in
the zone of British occupation.

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

The peace treaty with Germany is
completed and the German delegates
have been summoned to Versailles to
receive it on April 20.
The associated powers have agreed
that there shall be no military inter-
vention in Russia, but that they will
send food to that country, under neu-
tral control, if the bolshevild will stop
hoStilities.
Those were the outstanding features
Of the news of last week, and they bore
out the optimistic assertions that all
was progressing well in the great task
of settling the aff;lirs of the world.
The delegation Of Germans named
to 60 to Versailles includes the most
prominent of the German statesmen
now active in the government, except
Count Won. Bernstorff, and though they
will be given time to submit the treaty
to the national assembly at Weimar, it
is hoped they will have the authority
and the disposition to accept it with
out that formality, thus obviating de-
lay. It was asserted in Paris that the
allied governments would not wait be-
yond May 10 for definite answer as
to whether or not Germany would sign
the pact. OF course the press and
public of Germany are wailing with re-
newed agony as it is made more evil
dent that the Huns will be required to
pay to the uttermost limit of their re-
sources. and repeatedly the assertion
is made that Germany will not submit
to the terms laid down in what is
called there a treaty of violence"
Even Prince Lichnowsky joined the
chorus of protests, saying an unjustly
extorted peace can only bring forth
fresh ornaments, and implying that as
a last resort Germany will ''go bolshe-
vik."
