WAIT WILSON'S RETURN.
BY ED l.. KEEN.

Paris, Feb. 1S.-The peace confer
ence is expected figuratively to mark
time until President Wilson returns
from his brief furlough in the United
States.
While the foundation for the peace
settlement has been thoroughly laid
the conferees realize the structure can
not be completed without the guidance
of the spokesman of people totally
disinterested in European affairs. Work
on the details of the various problems
will continue during the presidents
absence but it is understood no mo-
mentous decisions will be made until
he again takes his seat at the peace
table, probably the middle of next
month.
The peace conference formally open
ed just month ago today. In that
month events moved faster than even
the most sanguine delegate believed
possible. Yet there are countless prob
Inns, large and small, of which the con-
ference has barely scratched the sur
face. In the solution of these, the
conferees win be confronted by con-
stantly overlapping and conflicting
claims, necessitating the presence OF
an international umpire for which Of
Sice President Wilson is admitted by

WOMEN STATUS|N
LABOR WORLD ISSUE
AT PEACE CONCLAVE
International Suffrage Leaders
Urge Conferees to Embody
Such Measures as to Further
Cause of Women.

Paris. Feb. 1S.-The new position in
the labor world won by women during
the war is becoming one of the big
problems of the peace conference. In
ternational suffrage leaders are en-
deavoring to have the conferees en-
body such measures in the peace set
tlement as will insure women's ability
to maintain their position on the high,
economic, industrial plane they have
established
Women's representatives now in Par
Is declare that women who patriotical-
ly responded to calls for aid from their
respective countries, who worked in
factories shops and in the fields on the
same basis with men and earned more
than they ever received before, can
not be expected to return quietly 10
the old position of industrial servi-
tude." A movement has already been
started in Great Britain against women
accepting lower pay than men for the
same work.
International suffrage leaders here
announced today they would confer
with Samuel Gompers chairman of the
International labor commission and
urge him to indorse admittance of wo-
men to the meetings of that body.
These women have added Premier Cle-
menceau and Foreign Minister Sonni-
no to the statesmen favorable to in
direct participation of women in the
peace work. Previously, President Will
son. Premier Lloyd George and Presi-
dent Poincare had approved this plan
THAT there is plenty of room for
international legislation in behalf OF
women is evidenced by the gulf that ex-
lists between the conditions surround
ing them in Macedonia, for instance
and in Great Britain and America -

shire, in discussing the problem to-

Weimar, Feb. 17.-Interventien of
German party leaders was all that pre-
vented the armistice being broken off
at the last minute, 1t was revealed
today.
The cabinet had already decided it
was impossible to accept the new con-
iitions and only changed it's attitude
after strong representations by the po-
litical spokesman of the German peo-
pie.
After determining that the terms
were too drastic, the cabinet resolved
to call in party leaders for indorse-
ment of it's position. before definitely
ordering Matthias Erzberger, chairman
of the armistice commission, not to
sign the renewal.
MINISTER QUIT POST.
The politicians. however, took an
opposite view and eventually succeed
ed in persuading the cabinet members
to reverse their decision.
Foreign Minister Brockdorff- Rantzau
thereupon resigned but later decided to
remain, If the government rather than
he, personally, should take the respon-
sibility for the consequences"
The order to sign was sent to Err
berger after b O'clock Sunday after
noon. 1t is understood that it was re-
ceived only few minutes before. the
time set~by Marshal Foch for accept
ance or refusal--six o'clock. Erzherger

responsibility that he would not sign

DECLARES YANKEES
NEEDLESSLY KILLED
IN WARS LAST HOUR
Governor Allen Adds to Charges
That Troops Lacked Artillery
in Argonne; Reads Officer s
Letter of Denunciation.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-American boys
were needlessly sacrificed in the las
hours of fighting on the west front,
Governor Henry Allen of Kansas told
the house rules committee today.
THE Germans had been retreating
for days and were resisting only enough
to cover their retreat" Allen said.
Everybody knew that when the Ger
mans were given ~ hours they would
sign. From the standpoint of military
necessity the men sacrificed in the last
hours of fighting were needlessly sac
rificed.' Allen said military conditions
were abominable.
Before the senate committee Allen
was even stronger in his criticism of
the sacrificing of men after armistice
negotiations had begun.
FOR VAIN GLORY.
Every man who fell in the last u
hours Of the fighting was a sacrifice
to the glory of somebody who wanted
to chase the Germans still farther" he
said.
Representative Siegel, of New York,
also appeared before the rules COM
mittee to urge action on his resolution
for a general Investigation Of the con-
duct of the war,
Siegel said he and Representative
Cooper Ohio, had crossed with Alfred
w. Larson, of Ogden, Utah, and e.
Hare, or McCook, Neb., two men who
had been at Brest. They said, accord
ing to Siegel, they had to stand in the
mud to get food; were forced to sleep
in the water and forbidden to COM
plain.
Colonel Carl Ristine of the 139th in
fantry, in letter to Allen, read be-
fore the house rules committee, said.
"Some one ought to tell about the
things over here; how we were
stripped of blankets and had summer
underwear and no overcoats for the
Argonne fight-during which wounded
men almost froze to death. No am
balances for 36 hours and then only
six to nine small ones to haul 640(
wounded in six days.

Despite French Opposition Eng
land and America Resolved
to Abandon Campaign in
Russia as Soon as Possible.
CHURCHILL CLAMORS FOR.
WAR, BUT TURNED DOWN
Associated Powers Completely
at Sea Regarding Russian
Policy; Prinkipos ConcIave
Proposal Is Abandoned.
BY FRED S. FERGUSON.

Paris, Feb. 1S.-The associated pow
ers today were apparently completely
at sea regarding Russian policy. AL
though the supreme war council has
re-opened the question, it Is under
stood that no progress has been made
toward definite solution.
The one thing that seemed certain
was that British and American troops
will be withdrawn from northern Rus
eia as soon as practicable.
While it is possible that this
may not be accomplished before
the ice breaks up in the spring, it
is said that steps are already be-
ing taken to facilitate evacuation.
This policy apparently will be ad-
hered to in the face of renewed ef-
forts by the French to obtain
armed Intervention on large
scale.
CONClAVE UNLIKELY.
1t was still doubtful today whether
the proposed joint conference, orig
inally scheduled to open last Saturday
at Prinkipos, will go through. A de-
cision on this is expected within a few
days.
A proposal by Winston Churchill,
British war minister, that was said to
Include provision for declaration of a
state of war if necessary, is under
stood to have been tabled by the SUI
preme council, the majority of the
members disappearing. Churchill has
returned to England. -
