OUTLYING
ALL COLONIES"
Many Puzzling Questions as
to Them Face Peace
Conference.
Correspondence of The Evening Star

Correspondence of The Evening star
PARIS, February 1.-The horribly
vexed question of colonies has come
up before the peace conference which,
being so far limited to the allied bel
ligerents, has to satisfy neutraJs and
to decide the final conditions to be
exacted of Germany and Turkey. In
this matter what was Austria Hun
gary and Bulgaria do not enter into
the count. The cessation of hostiiities
leaves all these outlying lands called
colonies in condition changed by
war. The business of the conference
is to make peace. that is, to end the
war and to make another such war
impossible. In all this the position of
France is plain.
The invasion of France was the aim
of the war and all through the war
the chief attack was on the French
frontier. This was thhe prime rea-
son. before the war, why France
could not allow Germany to pene-
trate Morocco and rank up her mill
tary power along the French frontier
of Algiers, which would practically
have doubled the front to be held in
case of war. Algiers, which has been
brought to great prosperity for na-
tives and colonists alike in nearly
hundred years of French possession.
Is really department of France
rather than a colony or like Brit
ish dominion.

BUT TWO U. S. UNITS GET
FRENCH SOLDIER CORD
War Department Issues Circular
Regarding the Wearing of
Insignia.

Only two units of the United States
Army-Sanitary Section No. GAG and
the 1880 Aero Squadron-have been
authorized to wear the French Shout
der cord, known as the fourragere,
Indicating that the unit as a whole
has been cited for gallantry in action
a circular issued by the War Depart
ment said many violations of regu-
lations as to uniforms and decora-
tions had been reported, and that so
far as officers and men remaining in
the service were concerned greater
rigidity in the enforcement of the
rules was to be expected. Certain ex-
ceptions were made, however, inciud-
ing the use by officers about to be
discharged of uniform coats of for
eign cut and pattern.
For both officers and enlisted men
the overseas cap, insignia showing
the division, Army corps or field Army
to which the wearer belonged over
seas and the spiral puttee were au-
thorized only for those returning
from France to be discharged.
The order discouraged the use of
unauthorized decorations or insignia
by discharged men, but pointed out
that they were no longer under the
Jurisdiction of the military authori-
ties. so these rules could not be en-
forced. No insignia showing that a
man has been a prisoner of war has
been authorized.
Assuming that the pending bill
providing that discharged officers and
men may wear their uniform indefi-
niteIy will be passed, the War De-
partment announced it would make no
effort toward rigid enforcement of
the present law.

Natives Like French Rule.

A British resident who, for six years,
| had experience of African natives
| coming under his own jurisdiction
| from the neighboring French and
| German colonies of this region says;
| ~ have no doubt the natives are hap
pier under French protection. They
appreciate English justice and fair
play but there is no human inter
course between US. The French, on
the contrary, as a consequence of
their gayer and less conventional
character associate with the natives
as If they were children and there Is
more good, and ] might almost say,
fellow feeling among them. AS to Ger
man rule it is thoroughly military
and the natives never get used to It's
discipline, which they abhor."
Iberia is a good case in point for
Americans This little republic is real
" a colony of American negroes and
it's hinterland is entirely occupied by
French and English colonies. When
it's finances had to be taken over un-
DER American direction, Germany,
with no other interest than her right
to expand, insisted on having an equal
place with France, England and the
United States in the International con-
troll. When Liberia shook off the yoke
and with the rest of the world de-
clared war on Germany, it was by way
of becoming a German colony and
German war base of wireless and
cables and submarines and with Ger
man houses controlling all the trade.

conference and naturally stands with

RED CROSS RELIEF
'.s'a: MISSION BUILDS ROADS
(By United Press

ADy OAAIOu Oo5.J
Marash, Mesopotamia, Oct. 25.-
(By Mail. )-One hundred miles of
stone roads and several reconstructed
steel bridges are among the perman-
ent monuments that America will
leave in this part of the near east.
When the Red Cross arrived here
it found that the condition of the
highways would hamper its relief
operations among the refugee Armen-
ians in this district. So it set about
to rebuild stretches of roads between
Aintaub, Aleppo and Marash.
Capt: Edward Bickel, of Seattle,
Washington, was placed in charge of
the engineering work. He had to
overcome difficulties which would
have halted many contractors of pub
lie works in America. There was no
male labor, materials were scarce,
and small burros and camels were the
only means Of transport.
He settled the labor question by
hiring Armenian women, who were
glad to have employment of any kind.
There were 500 Armenian women on
the payroll of the Red Cross in this
road building work. Materials were
attained from abandoned homes
which had been partly demolished
during the war. Conveys of noun
tain burros and camels were hired to
transport the material
In less than four months this fe-
male labor and ancient transport, un-
der American direction, had recon-
structed 100 miles of roads, rebuilt
several ruined bridges over tributar-
les Of the Euphrates river, and made
possible the speedy distribution Of
Red Cross supplies in this district.
