bETHMANl- -HOLLWEG
 GIVES PEACE |DEAS'
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BERLIN, Tuesday, Jan. 21.-(By the Associated Press)-Dr. von Bethmann- Hollweg. German chancellor at the out break of the war, has made the fol- lowing statement to The Associated Press concerning peace questions.
 T am asked what constitutes peace of justice. I answer gladly. President Wilson has announced an exalted program for the future regula- tion of international amity, and that there shall be an arrangement similar to that which has long been the aim of the policy of all individual states. Just as a constitution guarantees to a citizen in the exercise of his funda- mental rights as a human being, :'ro- tection against violence, and freedom and integrity of person and property and honor, so the new league of nations shall assure to all states, great or small those rights which are consequent upon mutual recognition and respect.
 Only if the peace to be concluded is animated by this spirit can it de- serve the name of a peace of justice. If the victor exploits the distressed conditions of the conquered. violates his body compels him to employ his forces of blood and property in en- slaved services. he can then, it seems boast his power, but justice will veil her head and the ideal of a league ot nations will sink into dust and ashes under the domination of a new in- ternatiOnal bolshevism.
 What do I think about the division of responsibility for the war? My answer is plain. I have precisely the same opinion today which l always have had, and which as chancellor repeatedly expressed in the reichstag have never carried on a spurious propaganda. but have always en- deavored to serve the truth
 Dr. von Bethmann Hollweg admitted in an interview which he gave in Ser | lin last November, it may be recalled that the Germans erred in the admin
 istration of Alsace- Lorraine, and il paying too light head to pan-GermaI activities. He blamed also what h. | called a false naval policy and man, | deficiencies in international policies.

MAY CONTROL ALL
 WIRELESS OUTFITS
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, Jan. 22.-(By the Associated Press)-The principal reason for the inter- allied communications conference which will begin in Paris Saturday, is the necessity for speedy disposition of the enormous plants constructed by the entente and America for radio communications during the war and regulation of the use of these plants to secure equality of opportunity and safety of communications.
 The United States built great sta tions on French soil, which under the terms of the agreement must be sold to France.
 Owing to the great strength of the stations now in use, and the even greater power of those under construc- tion or projected, it is possible for in dividuals possessing very small re- ceiving outfits to gather messages or news matter half way around the world.
 On the theory that such communi- cations are recognized as property, it is the purpose of the conference to find some means of protecting them from unauthorized exploitation.
 Captain William Bullard, head of the United States naval radio service and other American delegates, are in- clined to favor government control oi all stations, as the only solution of the problem.

Swiss Want Concessions

PARIS, Jan. 22.-The views of the Swiss federal council which President Gustav Ador is now in Paris to present to President Wilson, Premiers Clem- enceau and Lloyd George, and other allied statesmen, include particularly a request for international compacts, giving Switzerland access to the sea by way of the Rhone, the Rhine and the Pc. Switzerland also desires to obtain the right of traffic over important railroads to the sea and to the eastern countries of Europe.
 The Swiss government, as it's views are expressed in serious circles to i.e president here, not only approves the project for a league of nations, but desires and expects admission to the peace negotiations, as far as the de- Alterations on this project are con- cerned, as well as on other problems of general interest and questions, in which Switzerland is particularly in- terested.

FALLING DEAD LIKE
 LEAVES IN PERSIA
 SAYS LETTER HERE

People all over Russia are falling dead as fast as autumn leaves from the trees, according to unofficial letters just received by MirZa Ali Kuli Kahn. N. F., Persian charge d'affaires to the United States, copies of which were received today by the state headquar- ters for the United Drive for Relief In the Far East, February 10-17.
 One hundred and twenty thousand persons have died in the past year in Teheran alone, from starvation and the diseases which follow malnutrition, is one of the horrifying facts revealed in this correspondence. Unless help on a large scale is immediately forthcoming from the United States the entire coun- try is threatened. it is stated.
 Persia is one of the countries which will be benefited by the great triple drive for 5000 900 of which Arizona share is $150,000.
 Commenting on the situation Dr. Kahn states: "The Persian govern ment has not officially asked for help. This is not an official appeal for help for my countrymen. As a human be- ing, however, my conscience compels me to call to the attention of the gen. erous American public that my coun- trymen are facing the prospects of starvation and almost utter destruc- tion. At the time the letters were written, thousands of dead awaited | burial at Teheran.''
 Dr. Harry Pratt Judson of the American committee for Relief in the Near East is rendering a great ser vice with the limited funds sent him, but this amount does not begin to meet the need. Workers, food and medical supplies must immediately be sent to Persia on a large scale if the cradle of the white mans civilization is to be saved from utter ruin.

WOOD APPEALS FUR
 UNIVERSAL TRAINING
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

TOPEKA, Kas., Jan. 22.-Major General Leonard Wood made a strong appeal before a joint session of the Kansas legislature today, for a system of universal training for national de- fense. He outlined what he termed the idea of the great leader who has gone-and of others" frequently quot ings of his friend, the late Theodore Roosevelt.
 General Wood said his plan was to train youths not more than six months. He pointed out that the tenth division was trained to perfection in four months.
 TO keep the smallest number of men in uniform as a standing army, but to have the largest number prop erly trained, to be ready when the country calls, is the plan," he said. The prediction that there will be no wars is as old as time, but war is like pestilence. It comes unawares and the most democratic method for a na- tion like ours, is to be prepared. You can not massage away, by fine rhetoric, the passions of nation whose methods and morals are entirely different from our own"
 He referred to the fine league of nations already existing, between Eng land, France and America-not writ ten in ink. but in the blood of common sacrifice"

Responsibility at Issue

PARIS, Jan. 22.-(By the Associated Press )-The American peace commis- sion is depending upon it's specialists in international law, for the prepara- tion of the American view of import ant questions raised in the agenda adopted by the peace conference Saturday. These are, first, respon- sibility for the war; and second, the framing of a policy for international co o-operation in legislation, directed toward the interests of labor.
 Wide differences exist at present regarding the first question, particu- larly of individuals. rather than of governments, for the war. and likewise violation of the rules of war by the central powers.
 It is believed to be by no means cer- tain that the American delegates are willing to accept the views of the French legal authority, quoted by Premier Clemenceau, respecting the personal responsibility of the former German emperor and his generals, ln the absence of precedents, and until there is a clearer understanding of the limitations within which such a doc Urine can be exercised.
 There is a possibility that recon mendations upon labor will be with held until opportunity is afforded to study the developments of the Berne labor congress.

FEARS DISASTER FOR
 ALL WOOL GROWERS

SALT LAKE CITY. Jan. 22.-Dr. S. w. Mcclure, secretary of the National Wool Growers association, left here today for Washington, where he will protest against an alleged threatened move to persuade the government to sacrifice it's entire wool stock. Such action, Dr. Mcclure said today, would mean ultimate disaster to the wool growers.
 To throw the wool now in govern ment hands on the market would so lower the price that wool growers would receive next year, according to Dr. Mcclure. that they would be forcedto sell at a loss and would be at the mercy of spectators.
