that is lost to the victorious entente
is n gain to her, Germany.
Presently the idea of raising her
voice-of making a noise-enters her
head. 1t Is always the same system,
the German system
Though Emperor william fed like
a coward from the battlefield, his
heritage Is in good hands.
After sizing up this time-worn
German game, one cannot fail to de-
rive from it useful lessons We know
that organizing a peace conference
Is a huge and difficult enterprise. To
reunite freemen OF different origin
and different culture and to plan
through gathering together so many
men, to settle the worlds fate is
fine and noble idea.
Autocracy indeed, has a simpler
method-it uses the sword with brutal
lty. strangles, chokes and crushes its
opponents. and amidst the ensuing
universal silence dictates it's law.
Liberty is more complicated. 1t
considers reason and conscience. 1t
Is always more difficult to convince
than 1t is to kill. 1t is to the honor
OF our generation that the victorious
nations desire. despite accumulated
dln1culties, to follow the path of Jus
nce' no matter how craggy that path
may be.
Nevertheless, ii is necessary to con-
slider the circumstances. OF these cir
cumstances / shall endeavor to give

U. S. POOR RIVAL
Declares Americans Can t
Do Anything In Line Of
Building Ships.

London. Feb. 1.-THE Americans
writes Walter Runciman, former pres
ident OF the board of trade, in the
Weekly Dispatch, ARE building an inn
mense number of vessels. but not OF
the same quality as the British liners
and tramps. The Americans have lit
tie experience on which to build.
American competition will be much
more serious if there should GROW up
there a compact body of shipping men
working together and sticking to their
business instead of hopping about
from one thing to another. thus grad
ually regaining the shipping knowl-
edge which they lost in the COS and
'7G's
Il do not think the Americans will
beat us at carrying world trade. For
one thing. the amount of capital they
put into n 1,0o0-ton ship is 90 per
cent more than necessary. Then. tn"

tate correspondingly heavy insurance,

The Americans don't like small di-

BY RENE yIVANI.
Former Premier of France.
(Wriffeu for IJufxcrxoI Seryicc


Paris, Feb. five have come to
the turning point of the Peace Con-
ference. Germany's attitude since
the election of Ebert as President
of the German republic appears to
be, from all the news reaching us,
that she hopes to make a speedy re-
covery. thanks to lack of unity in
the allied camp.
The iron discipline which the Ger
mans are wont to endure with a sort
of voluptuous abondon allows play
ed-out" men and discredited parties
temporarily to disappear, giving way
to other men and other parties in
order to deceive the world by an ap-
parently renovated" conscience.
At the bottom of this new game
is the same old policy, the same
imperialism; and though the tttle
of the corporation is changed as in
the case of some business firm, the
merchandise remains the same.
The insolence that istares from many
of the interviews and speeches by
German leaders deserves attention.
One may call it intimidation; but
speaking more brutally, it looks like
blackmail.
Terrorism Favorite Method.
The German procedure is always
the same; terrify your man in order
to obtain your ends. The psyche
logical error is always the same
with people whose minds can
grasp only system and has lost all
Rtf O.
ity. Before the war Germany
counted on civil war in England.
She reckoned on mutiny by the Eng
lish colonies. She believed these
things would keep England from
putting her entire serength into the
struggle.
But what Germany did was to
solidify England. reuniting all par
ties into a single body. She made
the same error with France. She
anticipated revolution in France.
What happened was that all the
children of French soil Joined in the
most perfect union of the republics
history.
The same mistake she made with
America. The United States seemed
too distant a land. detached and i'm
mobilized to be of serious conse-
Quence. But the enormity of the
German crimes elected virulent pro-
tests from America even before her
hand grasped the sword.
1t is. therefore. but natural that
the same German error should reap
pear. What does Gsrmany hope?
What does she expect?
She watches the Paris conference.
She sees day after day pass without
decision being reached. Chuck
ling, she hears rumors of divergence
of opinion, of open dissension. She
hopes an actual conflict of interests
might arise She figures with op-
posing interests among the allies,
and she tells herself that every day

Men Return Invalided After
Campaign Against the
Bolsheviki.

San Francisco. Feb. H.-Thirty-o
sick soldiers from the American forces
in Siberia are receiving treatment in
the Letterman Hospital here today,
having been transferred there imme-
diately after their arrival on Sunday
on the United States transport Sher-
idan.
The men brought detaiied accounts
of personal experiences in Siberia,
fighting the Bolsheviki.
The weather is severely cold, they
said, and amusements are lacking.
The American position is secure, they
agreed, and casualties have been
light.
The American units have not been
used in the fighting to any great ex-
tent, but more as an army of occu-
patton.

By order Of President Wilson, the

This announcement was made

House and Senate Military commit
tees, the action being taken in re-
sponse to a cablegram from Gen.
Eliss, sent by direction of the Presi-
dent.
The reversal of policy is taken
in conjunction with Great Britain
and in effect is a declaration by
the allied powers that they are not
at war with the soviet government
and that they will be inclined to
accept any solution TO the Russian
problem which the Russian dele
gates may approve at the forthcom-
ing conference at Princes Island.
Join British at Murmansk.
Under the order of the President,
two American railroad companies.
numbering 100 men, will be Joined

SENATORS PLAN
LEAGUE ATTACK
Ants, Fearing Advantage
by Wilson, to Ignore Re-
quest Not to Debate.

General attack on the league of
nations plan, which President Will
son laid before the Peace Confer
encc. was decided upon yesterday
by Republican Senators. 1t will be
launched tod, with a set speech by
Senator PoindeXter. of Washington
Other Senators who are announced
to speak in opposition to the plan
are Borah of Idaho, kellogg of
Minnesota and Reed of Missouri,

Informal poll Of the Senate made
by Senators opposed to a league of

day that their poll of the Senate

Announcement by Senator Poin-
dexter that he will speak on the
question is the first indication that
Senators will decline TO be bound by
the Presidents request against dis
cussing the proposal until after he
has arrived here and explained ii in
person. Several Senators in cloak
room conversation showed plainly
that they felt slighted by the Presi-
dents request in view of the fact
that he purposes to make an address
on the subject Immediately after his
arrival This speech. the Senator's
say. will enable the President to get
his side of the case before the Coun-
try in advance of any expression by
the members of the Senate
Rather than permit the President
to gain this advantage the Senators
have decided to go ahead and talk
about the plan in distinct violation
of the Presidents request.
May Refuse to Attend Dinner.
There is considerable speculation as
TO whether all of the Republican SEN
ators, who are members of the Foreign
Relations Committee will accept the
Presidents invitation TO the White
House dinner. 1t is said that at least
one Senator will decline TO attend
upon the theory that by staying away
he will not be bound by any conf
denCe which the President might I'M
pose upon committees. There was
time when an invitation to a White
House function was properly looked
upon as being equivalent to a COM
mand, but feeling over the league of

Paris. Feb. 17-Germany again has
bowed to Foch. The armistce re-
newal was signed at Treves shortly
before : O'Clock after the German
headed by DR.. Erzberger,
had tried to the last to bargain, quib-
BILE, protest, and even threaten.
Sign on the dotted line" was the
answer of Foch to all these attempts,
and, finally, as the time of grace was
almost up, the Germans, still pro-
testing, signed.
The agreeemnt prolonEs the armis-
tice indefinitely. but gives the allies
the right to break off the truce at
three days notice If Germany does
not religiously live up both to the
letter and spirit of the terms.

his plans.
In the German Hansa towns-Ham-

opposition has arisen to the idea OF
yielding to the dictates of Foch. The
irony in this is that it was in these

'Hindy' 'Now
Issues Pleas
Not Orders
Makes Appeals to Troops
Who Once Jumped at
Marshal's Orders.

COlmar. Germany, Feb. 17.-Though
once more the most powerful and in
fuential personality IN Germany,
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is re-
duced to a point where he has to
plead with his troops and the German
people, as is shown by an almost pa
thetic appeal he issued upon his ar
rival at his new headquarters here.
The spirit of independence has
seized the ranks of the German SOL
diers still under arms, and there is
a noticeable drop in discipline.
The offensive Hindenburg ordered
against Poland came to a sudden
standstill even before Forch's armistice
terms, signed by the Germans, put a

DEGREES Are Ignored.

fused to recognize any DEGREES issued

sake of electing a new council. Mean
while, the Poles captured Grunthal
and wiped out an entire Germany COM
pany.
In his appeal, Hindenburg says:
