Borden's Criticism, OF
Delays in Peace ParIey
Has Supporters in Paris

PARIS. Feb. 16 by The Associated
Press Premier Borden's speech here
last night. in which he criticised the
delay in consummating peace while the
troops are anxious to return to their
homes, has made an undoubted impress
sion here. The same view is said to be
taken by some Americans, while the
British are not Indifferent to the de-
mands of their territorial contingcnts
which are supported by the labor ele-
ment of England
Stephen Pichon, in discussing OBJ
stacles to an immediate peace during a
talk with newspaper correspondents to-
day, said there were many reasons why
the treaty could not be signed at once.
even though the league of nations pro
ject was out of the way. Many issues
that will form the basis of peace, he
said, We're being carefully studied
Among them is the disposition Of many
of The fragments into which the former
Austrian Empire has been divided and
another is the treatment to be accorded
Bulgaria.
The French people, he added, want
peace, but they realize, at the same
time, the danger of precipitate and un-
satisfactory solutions. He agreed with
Premier Borden that there should be
no unnecessary delay but did not share
his opinion that time had been wasted
at the conference. A full discussion of
all questions must be permitted, he
said, so that settlements which might
be decided upon would be unanimous.

LONDON. Feb. 17.-Americans own

ment Of their factories for war work.
according to a statement made by DR..
Herman Nieders, controller of enemy

Herr Nieders' statement, according
to the correspondent, which deals
with the property Of the Nationals of
all Germany's enemies, estimates it
to oe of total value of 1876, 900 900,
representing about 10000 individual

Allies Call Elections
Off in Occupied Area
Germans Also Threatened With
Punishment for Seeking
Recruits for Army

COBLENZ, Feb. II (By The Associat-
ed Press ).-While the Germans in the
American occupied territory have di-
gested and accepted the plan of the
league of nations and the terms of the
armistice renewal, they have been told
to postpone indefinitely their elections.
A sharp reminder also was given them
that attempts to secure recruits for
their army would result in drastic pun
ishment
The new Prussian government had
called elections in all municipalities
for March %. The Americans are Just
getting we'll acquainted with the exist
ing authorities, and they do not desire
to be forced to learn the ways of new
officials.
The order against recruiting was oc-
casioned by the posting in Neuwied of
an appeal for volunteers.
1t is suspected that at least a part Of
the movement into Germany is due to
efforts to build up the army A procla-
nation issued to-day by General Dick
man against recruiting forbids publica-
ton of posters or sending letters or
kilograms relating to that subject.

Senators TO Launch
Debate on League,
Despite President

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Debate on
the constitution G. the League OF Ma
tons probably will begin in the SEN
ate within DAY or two. despite Presi-
dent Wilson's request that discussion
be postponed until after he has con-
ferred with members of the Senate
and House Foreign Relations Commit
tees at the White House February 26.
Senator Poindexter, of Washington,
Republican, who recently issued
statement sharply criticising several
features of the league plan, intends
to open the attack Wednesday. His
address is expected to precipitate gen
cral debate, but whether members Of
the Foreign Relations Committee will
participate appears doubtful, as most
of them apparently are disposed to
accedc to the Presidents request.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, also cx
poets to speak during the week. Other
senators reported to be planning criti
cism are Reed, of Missouri, and Gore,
of Oklahoma, Democrats; Senator
Borah, of Idaho, Republican member
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
also is said to be desirous Of express
ing his views at an early date.
Senator Gore, Of Oklahoma, said:
Apparently the nation, except cabi-
net officers and cx-presidents, is to go
into q state of catalepsy on the ques-
ton for at least ten days.

German Militarisn.
Reuiuing at Wein,ar,
Says London Times

LONDON, Feb. 17.-Thc world is far
from assured that the germs Of the
plague of militarism have yet been
killed in the Teutonic soul, says the
"Times' to-day IN commenting edi-
torially on the recent speech of Count
Won Brockdorff Rantzau, German For
eign Minister, to the National Assem-
bly, at Wemar.
The speech of the new Foreign Min
ister," it adds, "is the latest example
of the ill-advised temper in which the
Germans regard or attempt to regard
the position in which they stand. He
does not, indeed, pretend that the Ger
man arms have won the war. He at
tributes the Allies victory to their
economic and not to their military con-
duct of the war. All through his
speech he assumes the position which
President Ebert took up when he
calmly proclaimed in his first address:
The question of guilt seems to be
almost trihing.'
That, as Germany should have
learned long ago we're she not blinded
by her great conceit, is not the view
of any of the Allied democracies. They
hold that Germany is deeply guilty
and that the fact of her guilt inf1u-
ences, and as a matter both of JUS
tice and of international security
ought profoundly to influence, their
future relations with her"

A GREAT ECONOMY BE-
CAUSE Of EXTRA WEAR

After trip to Kilauea. the active
volcano of Hawaii, my Neolin-soled
shoes were the only ones not abso-
lutely ruined. Many in our party
wore hob-nailed boots," said Miss Jean
P. Lane of Seattle, Washington.
The sharp jagged lava of Kilauea
cuts an ordinary sole to pieces quickly.
That Neolin Soles stood the test but
emphasizes their toughness and dur
ability. These qualities are built into
them by scientific process. Women
and men and children, too-who are
hard on shoes should buy them with
Neolin Solos, They come in many
styles, and because of the extra wear
they give, are great economy.
And any repairman will re-sole your
worn shoes with Neolin Soles, which
are flexible and waterproof as we'll as
long-wearing. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron,
Ohio, who also MAKE Wingfoot Heels,
guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

down the high courts opinion in this
case, "passed in the exercise of its
constitutional authority, must, if clear
and explicit, be upheld by the courts,
even in contravention of stipulations in
an earlier treaty"
But, Senators suggested tonight,
such a reputation of treaty by some
future Congress might have far more
serious results than attended this re-
pudiation of the treaty with China.
Abrogating a treaty with China and
abrogating treaty in which all the
important nations Of the world were
bound together to prevent war, and to
crush into submission any nation which
opposed the common will, might and
probably would, prove to be very
different thing.
Senators in contemplating this pos
sibility said they had no moral doubt
that if necessity for abrogating by
Congressional action such q treaty
ever should arise the results would be
disastrous to the United States, espe-
cially in view of the fact that under
the constitution of the League of Ma
tions as proposed, the armed forces
of the United States would be reduced
to such a point that it would be i'm
possible for her to resist the combined
force Of the other nations of the
league.

Lunch and Dinner
Figure in Plans
To Greet Wilson

BOSTON, Feb. 17.-Tentative plans
for the entertainment Of President
Wilson on his return from France
next week were made by Governor
Coolidge and Mayor Peters at con-
ference at the State House to-day.
The programme az mapped out, it was
explained by the Governor, was Of
necessity conditioned on the wishes
Of the President.
The date Of his arrival is thus far
somewhat uncertain. If the George
Washington docks early in the day, as
is anticipated, the President, imme
diatcly upon landing, will be escorted
to his hotel by committees represent
ing the city and state. Governor Cool
idge later will make an official call
at the hotel and invite the President
to the State House. Should the Presi-
dent desire to speak to the Legislature
81 joint session will be called.
A small official luncheon end SINH
lar dinner will be arranged on the
assumption the President will wish to
deliver his principal address in the
evening. Either Fanueil Hall, the
Opera House or Mechanics Building
will be available for the meeting.

more and more possible to prepare
sudden attacks and carry them out
with crushing force. The peace prob
lem thus is above all to see clearly in
time and to be ready in time.
Unpreparedness Cited
"Nenizelos alluded to the military
effort of Great Britain and the United
States as unprepared beforehand and
yet formidable. 1t is always worth
while to evoke those memories which
might discourage imperialism by prov
ing that in the long run the free
nations will finish by making the con-
cuerors disgorgc. But would there
have been time for the British and
American efforts if Belgium had not
sacrificed herself, if invaded France
had not long carried the chief weight
of the war and-let US never forget
if the blood of Russian soldiers had
not flowed in rivers?
Things cannot thus begin again.
The system of universal peace cannot
consist in allowing one or two peoples
to be ground in mortar while others
are making ready to fight"
The "Temps" then refers to the
proposals of Leon Bourgeois, which
were not accepted but which it is hoped
may find a place in the final draft of
the league constitution.
French Hope for Best
The "Intransigeant" says:
'Mr. Wilson said yesterday that
living thing had been born. The French
people ask is that really true?' To
answer Mr.. Wilson must we sneer at
t,-e pact solcmnly announced at yester-
days conference; must we point out
its imperfections and omissions? No!
Resolutely we say that living thing
has been born. A new barrier has
been raised against that detested thing,
war. Certainly if Belgium and our
selves encounter it tomorrow sudden
attack might expose us to Il cruel sur
prise. Yet it is nevertheless true that
the society of nations is born and will
grow greater and stronger and better.
1t would be n mistake to consider only
a remedy against the continual danger
Of the cataclysm, war"
The "Intransigeant" finally asks 'lf
in ten years Germany, which lost the
war against the world, and knowing
that the entire world. leagued by a
pact of nations, would rise again
against her-would Germany declare
war against us? This is a world
alliance against war, nothing more,
but nothing less"

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 17.-The tee-

at Nuremberg, Bavaria, have been oc-

ports received here.

an attempt by the government forces

were said to have been fired from the

BERLIN, Feb. 16 (By The Associated

towns marched into Gelsenkirchen. in
Westphalia, early this morning and
overpowered the local military and po-
lice forces, portion of which went
over to the Spartacans. The plunder-
ing of the city followed.
The doors of houses we're blown in
by hand grenades and much booty was
secured by the Spartacans.
The Geiscnkirchen banks and the
CITY treasury nad Deen warned IN time

The raiding Spartacans came from
Rattungen and Wattensched
Trouble had been expected in Berlin
to-day from radical elements, but up
to 5 o'clock this afternoon no dis
turbances had been reported anywhere
in the city.
The anticipated outbreak appears to
have been nipped in the bud by the
arrest, late Saturday night, of eighty

tionary Soldiers Union. who had gath
cred in a hall, it was charged, to plan
disturbances for to-day.
The strike of department store work

the insufficency of protective guaran-
tees The Figaro" says:

of the international guarantee is not
absolutely new. Belgium knows some
thing about that. The obligation to
have under arms only small forces was
imposed on Prussia in 1906, and we saw
IN 1913 how that obligation could be

plain. but the "Temps" details with
