since the collapse of Germany of
earlier Finnish plans to secure an
outlet by the annexation of parts of
Russian Carelia lying between Fin

of adjacent Finmark, which belongs

Patrons of the road in their COM

railway company in advancing the
rates, as well as the course of the
commission in permitting the increase
to become effective. was in direct vio-

iature of 1912, establishing fare zones
on the Maryland part of the line and
fixing cash and Communication rates for
the zones and for the entire line.

Paving Way for Settlements.

do not our distinguished senators
see that in asking this self-denial of
the British empire President Wilson
Is paving the way for the sur
render of far more dangerous claims
by other alliea some of these claims
being founded. like the claims to
German colonies, on treaties entered
into in order to get help with which
to win the war, but which treaties
the contractants ought to be willing
to lay aside In the general interest :?
Great Britain having made this
sacrifice, it will be much easier to
ask France, Italy, Belgium and the
new states of eastern Europe to
forego extravagant claims"
Mr.. Marburg suggested that United
states senators before criticising
President Wilson's plans, get some
idea of what they really are and
what they mean tc the world. A lit

Compulsion Discussed.

The American and the British
delegates are still discussing whether
or not il will be necessary to provide
some further compulsion to prevent
war, even where the nations in dis
pute are unable to agree after the
three methods have been exhausted.
The British are inclined to the view
that il the above principles of the
league are universally accepted il
will be the furthest advance yet
made. The world could depend upon
the tremendous power of public
opinion to prevent hostilities after a
sufficient period, three or six months.
had been given so that the passions
of the nations involved might cool.
and the disinterested nation would
endeavor to introduce compromise
solution and other means of concilia-
ton.
Mr.. Wilson is understood to be in
agreement with this idea. though the
Willingness of nations to be bound
absolutely to obey the decisions of
the three tribunals mentioned depends
largely upon how far the league will
be permitted to decide questions OF
national honor.
There is a disposition to recognize
the idea that the league cannot be
perfected during the first year. but
advances are expected to be made
in the periodical meetings of the
prime ministers or special ambassa-
doris of all concerned, SO that the
principles outlined above can be said
10 be as far as it seems feasible to
the majority of the participants to
go at the present time.

Rumania Wants Bessarabia.

Territorial contentious in the Bal
kans are complicated and present diff
cult problems. Rumania desires to re-
tain possession of that portion of Rus
sian Bessarabia given her by the GEN.
trail powers under the cancelled treaty
of Bucharest, and now in her posses
sion. Rumania also desires southern
Dobrudja as coded to her by Bulgaria
after the second Balkan war. Posses
sion OF Bessarabia and the Dobrudja
commands the mouth of the Danube.
To the westward Rumania wants
to annex the Hapsburg provinces Of
Bukowina and Pennsylvania and a
considerable part of the rich agricul-
turaI district of Banat. 1t is here that
the Rumanian aspirations conflict
with those of Serbia, which affirm
that under her war agreements
with the entente Serbia should have
large portion of Banat as we'll as
other sections of former Austria Hun
gary adjoining old Serbia to the
north to round out the proposed
Jugoslav state. Both Rumania and
Serbia have moved troops into Banat
to secure their claims and French
troops have established a neutral
zone to prevent hostilities between
them.

Regrets Senator's Stand.

Mr.. Marburg said the criticism by
United States senator's of the plan to
place under the guardianship of the
league colonies taken from Germany
showed that the statesmen were wholly
without vision and were incapable of
understanding the true import Of the
plan.
1t is curious that our United States
senators should fail to grasp the true
import of this plan" said Mr.. Mar
burg. ut has marked advantages.
Practice of self denial asked of the
British empire really means little for
her because her possessions are al
ready 50 vast and because placing the
former German colonies under the
aegis of the league would relieve
Australia and New Zealand of neigh
boring intrigue, of which they have
complained.

Subject to Compulsion.

Any nation refusing to submit a dis
pute to these three channels will be
declared to have infringed the cove
nant of the league, and will be sub
jected to the forceful compulsion of
all the other members. each of whom,
however. shall decide in it's own con-
gress or legislature how the decree
of the league shall be supported,
whether by economic or military and
naval force. IL is fully expected that
the national pride of the members
will be sufficient stimulus TO marshal
adequate force to bring a recalcitrant
member into line, because a willing
ness to see the league defied by any
member would constitute a menace
to the peace of the world.
Sixth-In the event of a disagree
ment to all three processes offered,
hostilities are prohibited for at least
three months after various commits
sions have had an opportunity to ex
anime all the proceedings.

NO JOFFRE Comment
ON 1914 WITHDRAWAL
II Am Not a Politician" Marshal
Says Anent the Viviani
Statement.

PARIS, February 3.-''That is all
politics, and 1 am not a politician
Marshal Joffre declared to Paris news
paper correspondents concerning his
views on the statement made in the
chamber of deputies Friday night by
former Premier Viviani that the
French army. then under command of
Marshal Joffre, had been withdrawn
on July 80. 1914, eight or ten kilo-
meters from the frontier in order that
the French government might demon
strate that its attitude was not hos
tile. The Matin calls the discussion
concerning the withdrawal, which af-
fected the iron basin of the Briey, the
"Briey enigma"
Marshal Joffre said he had carried
out his duties fully under ali circum-
stances and that he is drawing up a
plain historical statement of what had
been done under his direction which
would contain the truth as established
by documents.
Gen. Lanzezac. who commanded the
French 5th Army at the outbreak of
the evacuation of the Briey region had
never been decided upon in advance
and that want of material means alone
pr avented the French staff from max
ing the basin untenable for the Ger
mans.
Gen. NivelIe's Statement.
Gen. Nivelle, who at one time was in
command at Verdun, the nearest point
held by the French to Briey informed
the Matin. that when he was at Yer
dun in 1916, the French were twenty
five miles from Briey. which was out
of range of the French guns. A few
airplane raids were made on Briey,
but they had little important result.
At that time, the general added, the
Germans were working the metal
lurgical plants in that region.
In an article in the Matin Gen.
Messimy, who was minister of war at
the outbreak of the war. contributes
an article corroborating the state
ments made in the chamber by NJ.
Vivi2ni.
Former Premier Viviani said that
the withdrawal from the Briey valley,
which Is an important iron region, had
been decided upon by the general staff
in January, 1914, and that when the
government decided to move back the
French troops having heard that the
Germans were moving toward the
frontier, Gen. Joffre raised no objec-
ton. The former premier added that
both Gen. Joffre and Minister Messimy
had declared that for diplomatic rea-
sons 1t was necessary that no incl
dents occur at the frontier.
