Hornesickness Is Chief
Complaint of Soldiers
Al St. Afghan Camp
" elcOme Home!

GERGEANT DAVID BARKER,
~ of the 105th Trench Mortar
Battery, underwent an operation
so that he might go to France.
Now, with his body literally
scared and broken by the blast of
war, he is waiting at the Fox
Hills, Staten Island, Debarkation
Hospital for his discharge.
There are black powder marks
on the left side Of the sergeant's
face. These are evidence that
high explosive shell burst too close
to him in the Verdun sector. The
same shell shattered his leg, and
for the rest of his life he is des-
tined to go limping along with
cane.
But it isn't this that worries
him. When he went to war Mrs.
Barker and the little girl, five
years old, went to live with her
people. AS soon as he returned,
he believed, life would pick up for
them where it left off when war
came.
Sergeant Barker is an expert
enced lunchroom manager. Re
Gently he has hobbled about the
city, trying to find some job that
will bring unity to the Barker
family again.
Search has not wiped away the
little wrinkle of worry between his
eyebrows.

PARIS, Feb. 21.-With the departure
of the President and the announcement
OF renewal of the armistice on terms
which appear to have brought Germany
for the first time, perhaps, 60 an actual
realization of her defeat, comparative
calm reigns in Paris. No one antici-
pates any momentous decisions during
the absence of President Wilson and
Lloyd George, but q deal of work will
be done in preparation of matters to
be submitted when the Big Five resume
operations.
The league of nations having been
transferred to the western side of the
Atlantic, public attention on this side
is now centred upon the vital subject
cf finance. Finance Minister Klotz sub
mitted a statement yesterday to the
commissions on budgets and fiscal lep-
islation, which gives some suggestion
of the actual situation confronting
France.
Before the war" he said, "the total
budgets of public expenses were in
round figures 5,5oO,OOo,0oO francs. The
budget under consideration for the en-
SUNG year will substantially exceed
15,5oO,ooooOo francs, and may amount
to 19,O00,000,000 or 10000, 900, 900

President Wilson has agreed to the
demand of the Allied leaders at
the peace conference that Ger

pacity.
1t is indicated that there Will not be

The Polish government, headed by
1gnace Paderewski, has been rec

League Would Plunge
Nation in Entangling
alliances, Says Bosah
Ne7D York Tribune
Wnshin atom Burenu

WASHINGTON, Feb 21.-Insisting
that the proposed league of nations
would involve complete and final de-
parture from Americas traditional pol
icy of aloofness from entangling Eu-
ropean alliances, Senator Borah, Of
day against ratification of the league
covenant, branded it as the first step
toward internationalization of the
world.
He compared the principles of the
proposed league to the tenets of inter
nationalism as preached by the Bolshe-
Vik leaders of Russia. He read extracts
from the writings of Leon Trotzky to
support his contention.
He held up to rdicule the assertions
of former President Taft that adoption
of the league covenant would not mean
al Abandonment of the Monroe Doc
trne, and, while ripples of laughter
swept through the crowded galleries
he drew parable in which he pict-
ured the earnest efforts of a char
acter whom he referred to as civilian
Howard" to convince Farmer Amer
ica" that the removal Of his fences
would not interfere with his seclusion.
Victory for Britain
In the constitution of the league
membership, asserted Senator Borah,
Great Britain had won the greatest
diplomatic victory in her history.
Without surrendering her position on
the question Of freedom of the seas or
naval supremacy, he said, she had pre-
vailed on America to abandon her ira
ditional policy of isolation and enter a
league in the direction of which Great
Britain, with her colonial dominions.
would have five votes and the United
States but one.
The Borah speech was the second
which has been made by a Republican
IN the Senate this week since the Presi
dent requested members of the Senate
House foreign relations committees
30 refrain from discussing the league
until he had opportunity to explain to
them its various features at a confer
ence at the White House next Wednes-
day night. The other speech was made
several days ago by Senator Poindexter.
of Washington.
Declines Dinner Invitation
Although a member of the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate
Senator Borah has declined the invita-
ton to attend the White House confer
ence on the ground that it would en-
barrass him, by the condolences which
the President would impart, in his de-
termination to oppose the league plan.
During the Congressional recess SEN
ator Borah plans to make tour Of
the country in opposition to the cam
paign of eXPresident Taft in supnort
Of the iengue.
His speech to-day was listened to
with rapt attention from the galleries
and from members on the floor. Soy
cral times the Vice president had 10
warn the galleries to restrain their
applause, and at the close Of the speech
Senators, including several from the
Democratic side, focked about his seat
to congratulate him. Business Of the
Senate was temporarily suspended
