ALLIES REFUSE TO
Share FRENCH Debt
Allies Opposed to Sharing Great War
Burden
MATTERS BEFORE COUNCIL
Story of Wide Hun Conspiracy
Against Czecho- -SlOvakia Told
by DR.. Benes.

Paris, March 11.-(By the Associ-
atcd Press. )-Francc has abandoned
Tor the present at least any hope of
having her great war debt shared by
the Allies. 1t is authoritatively as
serted by one Of the American at
tending the conference that what had
been an embarrassing possibility has
now been definitely eliminated from
the deliberations, although it is pos.
slble that France might at some fu-
ture time attempt to obtain assist
ance.
The protest has never been fully
presented at the conference, but con
versatlons held at Intervals since the
conference began have served as
medium.
The British and American delega-
tons have been quite frank in their
disapproval and have openly said that
the people of their countries would be
slow to endorse such plan.
Alleged Conspiracy
The council of the great powers
heard today statement presented by
Dr. Bencs Of the CZecho- -Slovak dele
CATION, on the widespread conspiracy
alleged to exist against the new State
on three sidcs-Germany, Austro-
Germany and Hungary. According to
documents found on a German cou-
rier arrested at Prague, an extensive
plot is being formcnted to excite a
revolution and furnish arms and am
munition to those seeking to overturn
the new government.
The council today also considered
the serious internal conditions in
Poland, which subject will be con-
tinued tomorrow, when POland's from
tier in Germany will probably be de-
tcrmlned. The indications are that
Poland will secure a sea outlet north
ward to the Baltic, and the tendency
Is to include Danzing in the Polish
corridor across Prussia.
Size of Hun Army.
The American members of the su-
preme council it is understood, per
mitted the military experts to exer-
else their judgment regarding the
proper size and character of the fu-
ture German army. In order to have
a basis OF discussion, the Americans,
1T is reported, suggested an army OF
tour hundred thousand men, but only
because that was the number men
toned in the first armsticc proposal.
The discussion of the council to lin
1t Germany to volunteer twelve-yea
army is regarded by Americans as
likely to lead to consideration by the
league of nations when it takes up
the subject of the limitation of arma-
ments of the policy general prohibi-
ton OF conscript armies in all nations.
This is on the theory that the great
expense of regular long-term armies
Will be such as to automatically keep
down militarism.
Labor Situation. !!
The peace conference committee on
nternational labor legislation today
heard statements by various delepa.
tions on the result of their consulta-
tlonSs with their governments and with
employers and organizations of work
ing people in their respective coun
tries; The commission then took up
the tina reading Of the draft of the
ternational labor convention sub
mitted by the British delegation

commission. presided at the meeting.

IN CITY OF MOSCOW
Chaotic Conditions Described in Re.
ports to Washington
CITIES ARE WITHOUT FUEL
Streets Are Deserted With the Excep-
tion of Civilians Begging for
Bread.

Washington, March 11.-Chaotic
conditions in Russia, particularly in
Petrograd and Moscow, were describ-
ed in reports received today by the
State Department. The depths to
which the country has been plunged
by Bolshevik rule was said by the
advices to be Indicated in a report
from Moscow saying that human
flesh had been sold to the famine
stricken population by Chinese SOL
diers, who later were arrested.
Both Moscow and Petrograd were
reported without fuel Of any kind.
The supplies of coal, kerosene and
gasoline have been exhausted and
since wood was natfonalized in Sep
tember it has not been available for
private consumption.
Because of the lack Of fuel, the ad-
vices said, the sewer and water sys-
TENS of Petrograd might cease oper-
alton at any time.
Beggers in Streets.
The streets of Petrograd were de-
scribed as deserted, with the excep-
tion of soldiers and civilians begging
for bread. The deaths in the city
chiefly from typhoid and smallpox
were estimated at 1000 daily. The
Swiss. Danish, Swedish, Dutch and
British embassies were said to have
been looted.
Conditions in Moscow were repre-
sented as better than in Petrograd
although all industries in the former
city, except a few military plants
have ceased to operate. The only food
available is brought to Moscow by
peasants, who sell it at excessive
prices, sugar bringing twenty rubles
a pound, which at the old value of
the ruble would be ten dollars; dog
meat seven and horse flesh twenty
one rabies pound.
Many Of the stores in Moscow have
been closed, and those remaining open
are permitted to sell merchandise and
foodstuffs only on the card system.
Celebration of mass in the, churches
has for the most part ceased. Trac-
tion and electric light service are ir-
regular, electricity being available for

| European mission, Dr. Love made the following statement outlining the pur- pose of the commission:
 When the call came to help save, promote and secure democracy in Flu rope there came louder cali to heip save, promote and secure evangelical Christianity in Europe. That which alone will now preserve and perfect the democracy for which brave men have died on the battlefield of Europe is the Christianity of the New Testa IT ent Southern Baptists can not long- er profess New Testament Christian ity and decline a challenge like that which is now presented 10 them to bear witness to their faith among the peoples of Europe. Our people never before faced such a challenge and such responsibility.
 Of course we can not go to the men and women of Europe who have been stripped of earthly fortune and reduced to direst necessity wi,h message Of Christian love and brotherhood if we decline in our abundance to carry some substantial pledge of our lova and compassion. Mothers will not be able to stay the crying of their little ones to hear us preach if we de1line to practice the gospel of compassion and feed these little ones and build fires at which they can during the com ing winter warm their frosted toes. Southern Baptists are under the most solemn obligation to hep relieve the want and suffering of Europe. But f there were no reconstruction work in Europe, Southern Bapt'sts have mo tives numerous enough and strong enough to compel them to make a com plete success of the Baptist 75 Mil lion Campaign. I would therefore, as my parting word to my brothers and sisters of the South, impiore them 10 give themselves to this campaign and carry it to 9 triumphant conclusion during Victory Week, November 3e- December r."
