Bernstorf Urges
Germans to Court
Good Will of L. s.
Sole Hope for Revision Of
Treaty Rests With Amer
ica, He Declares: Advises
Socialism Be Discarded

BERLIN. July 13 (By The Associated
Press).-Count Won BernstorfF. former
German Ambassador at Washington,
writing in the weekly democratic
Germany, advocates d pro-Amercan
policy, and points out that a revision
OF the treaty of peace can come only
through the league of nations.
When Germany is received into tho
league he says. she can hope for a
world order checking imperialism by
individual powers and bringing about a
system binding peoples together across
the frontiers of states.
Il hardly need to point cut that such
a policy would lead US to the side Of
the United States. There the idea of a
league of nations is living one.
There alone are funds to be found. and
there the principal champion of the
league idea will be at the helm for
another twenty months.
Count Won Bernstorff says socialism m
is unpopular in the United States and,
therefore, if Germans wish to cultivate
friendly relations with that country
they must convince Americans not only
that militarism is dead but that new
Germany has no intention of fostering
Socialist world revolution.

French Dubious Over
Strength Of League
Lifting OF Blockade Skaters
Allied Control, Says Press;
Senate Struggle Is Watched
New York Tribune
Special C06Ee Serrlce
Copyright. 1919. New York Tribune 1nc.l


PARIS, July 13-Not a lifting Of
the blockade but "the resumption of
business is the description the French
give of this weeks development. They
point out that the blockade of Ger
many had for a long time not existed
in reality.
Comment shows two tendencies.
First that the ratification of the treaty
which lifted the blockade was by the
German Empire only. and danger is
seen in the unwillingness of the En-
tente to insist on Prussian and Ba-
varian ratification. "Le Journal" re-
marking on the subject, states it is a
Strange way of destroying Bismarck's s
work." since German unity is thereby
further affirmed
The second form Of criticism points
out that lifting the blockade at the
same time officially ends the great sys-
tenn of Allied controls built up during
the last four years. A consider ra b e
section of the French opinion believed
this system should persist because it
provided the real force Of the league
of nations. Opinion is now increas-
ingly dubious as to the strength Of
the league and the people are awaiting
anXiously the result of the Senate
struggle in the suppressed belief that
''if the United States adherence to the
league is weakened and at the same
time our economic unity disappears.
the much lauded covenant will have
little value"

The lnter-Allied commiss soners contend
that there is no provision in the treaty

Herr Won Stark spent four days In
Coblenz this week and called upon the
Belgian, French, British and American
commissioners, but, it Is said, received

Stark SAID he was not sure whether
he would return to Coblenz.
The ter-Allied Rhineland Commits
sion to-day issued a notice to civilians
IN the occupied areas that trade would
be reestablished immediately between
the interior of Germany and the oc-
cupled areas under certain restrictions.
Inns action vas taken after official
notification had been received from
Parls that the blockade had been lifted.
Under the orders of the commission

present regulations. The commission
announced that it would prohibit, ex-
cept by special permit. the removal
of 10000 tons Of dyestuffs and chemical

According to the terms of the peace
treaty the Allies have sixty days after
three of the principal Allied powers
have ratified the treaty to decide on
the disposition of the dyes. The con
ditions provide that so per cent of the

Allies if they desire it. Ninety per
cent of all the dyes made in Germany
were manufactured on the left bank

Ne,U Party Forecast by
Leacis Sfirs Washington
Senators Are Curious to kno,C
Whether the Hhife House Is
Backing a Third Term Hint
New York Tribune
WoSIltnntnn RnrcnM

WASHINGTON. July Senators
were curious to-day to know whether
there was White House inspiration be-
hind ex-senator J. Hamilton Lewis s
prediction of last night that a party
revolution, realigning both Democrats
and Republicans on Il new issue, may
make President Wilson seek another
term as a result of his message to the
Senate.
Ex-senator Lewis is listened to not
only because he is close to the White
House but because he has some repu-
tation as a political prophet.
If the President does run again, said
Mr.. Lewis, he will not be regarded as a
third term candidate, but as a first
term candidate on an issue arising out
of Mr.. Wilson's foreign policy. Old
party names will survive, he predicted,
but many Republicans will become
Democrats and some Democrats Re
publicans."
Recalling that similar circumstances
forced Washington to seek second
term with his policy toward France
and England an issue, Ar. Lewis de-
clared that the issues of the last
twenty years are now absorbed in one.
1.-THE question is now. Shall the
United States continue to be govern
ment apart from the world or a world
government ?" said Mr. Lewis. Re
publicans created the issue in 1900
when they took the Philippines and
put the United States into Asia.
The Republicans who are fighting
President Wilson on his message as to
Europe fought Mr.. Mckinley on the
same issue as to Asia. They were
beaten by the people for Mr. McKin-
ley, and they will be beaten bv the
people for Mr.. Wilson,"

De Valera Cheered
For 81 Minutes
By Chicago Throne
$4,000 jam Baseball Park
to Hear Irishman's Plea
For American Support;
World League Opposed

CHICAGO. July 13.-An audience of
nearly $4,000 persons gathered in the
National League Baseball Park, heard
canon de Valera, "President of the
irish Republic appeal for aid and
recognition of Irish independence.
Mr.. de Valera was cheered for thirty
one minutes. A soldier in a Canadian
Uniform mounted the speakers stand
and led the cheering.
Some Of the onlookers INDUCED in
Missing when the names of President
Wilson, Premier Lloyd George and Sir
Edward Carson were mentioned Per-
sons on the speakers platform, how
ever, soon stopped those demonstra-
lions.
Mr.. de Valera expressed confidence
hat Americans sympathized with the
Irish independence movement.
Resolutions that Congress be urged
10 recognize the Irish republic as
now established,' and to establish
trade relations with Ireland for the
benefit of American commerce and
labor, and strongly opposing the league
Of nations were adopted with enthu-
siasm. The league, it was declared
would impair American sovereignty and
would imperil the Constitution, destroy
the Monroe Doctrine and would guar
antee "the world supremacy of the two
remaining despotic empires of the
world-Great Britain and Japan"
Mr.. De Valera opposed the league
only OF the ground that it would pre-
vent the Irish from receiving outside
assistance in obtaining freedom from
Great Britain.
Mr.. De Valera said he came to
America first, not so much because of
the large population of Irish blood. or
because Americans are liberty loving
people, "but II is because we know
that this nation is big enough to be
able to stand up and follow its own
will, irrespective of whe ther John Bull
likes it or not"

FEDERAL FARM LAND MAN.

H. w. Comstock, field manager of
the State of West Virginia and Ohio
for the Virginia Joint Stock Land
Bank, with headquarters at Charles
ton, was visitor in the city yester-
day, says the Wheeling Inteiligencer,
Of the 4th, and in speaking to an In
,telligencer reporter last evening
stated that his main line Of work
was of reaching the farmers in the
farm loan line under the fed
eral supervision. He left on the
midnight train for points down state.
He stated that the farmers are
borrowing under the federal plan
throughout this state and also the
state Of Ohio, and as result that
there will be many improvements
made to the farms this year which
otherwise would not be made.
Good roads to the rural sections,
he stated, was the biggest asset that
the farmer could have, and he is Of
the opinion that much work will be
done along this line this summer.
The soldier and sailor being mus
tered out Of the service must be TAX
en- care OF is his candid opinion,
and he stated that the farm
was one place that many could be
employed to advantage both to the
farmer and also the soldier, as lie
had, learned to work In the open.
Road building, he stated, was also
vocation that many would be glad
to follow, and he urges the co-opera-
ton of the farmer and the contractor
in aiding the returning lads.
