SALVATION ARMY
 HUT IN PARIS

Paris, April 19.-{Corresponden of The Associated Press).-To give the American soldiers a center where they can both lodge and spend their time proftably throughout the day, the Salvation Army has just opened its first hut in Paris proper. It is situated on the Rue Clignancourt, and was formerly the barracks Of the 76th French infantry. The hut" ac- comrnodates 5000 men.
 Several welfare organizations which operate among the American soldiers, including the Young Mems Christian Association, Salvation Army Jewish Welfare League, Knights of Columbus and the American Library Association have combined to offer the boys here both instruction and entertainment. Doughnuts, pies. flapjacks and cookies "as mother makes them" are provided for all corners. Athletic meetings alternate with singing and lectures, and there is much interest in a course of fenc- ing bouts, which has just started.
 Similar institutions are being open ed at the big seaports such as Brest, Bordeaux and St. Nazaire, where the American authorities have placed 25 hangars at the disposal of the Sal vation Army.
 To minister to the comforts of lonely American units in the devasta- ted districts of Belgium and northern France, where the accommodation is one of the most primitive description and where social centers are few and far between, Colonel William A Mc- Intyre of New York, has organized a system of travelling kitchens where the men will be able to obtain we'll cooked food and eat 1t in comfort in stead of in a haphazard fashion on the doorstep of some haIf-demolished dwelling house, as is now the rule rather than the exception.

BERNE,, Feb. 6.-The German Major
ity Socialists seem to be carrying the
day at the International Socialist Con-
gress in session here.
Although the delegates representing
the Entente countries came with the
purpose of raking the conduct of the
Ebert Scheidemann party during the
war, the representatives of the latter
have succeeded in impressing the CON
ference with the idea that it was i'm
possible for the Majority Socialists to
act otherwise than they did and that
the fruit of their policy is the triumph
OF German Socialism upon the ruins
Of Prussian militarism.
On the other hand, the Majority So
clalists have promised to abe good" in
the future and to join the movement
for universal disarmament. The breach
between the Entente and the German
Socialists is not entirely closed, but
a .big step in this direction was taken

Germans Reused at
Forcing Prisoners
To Rebuild France

BERNE, Feb. S.--The International
Trade Union Conference last night
adopted Il motion insisting on the
prompt and definite reastablshment of
the international trade union body and
calling for the summoning of new
international Trade Union Conference
not later than next May.
Before this questian was taken up
one Of the German delegates, Herr
Janson, raised the question Of the
German prisoners remaining in Allied
hands and of the blockade Of GERMANY
The speaker declared that out of one
million prisoners 100000 have been
taken to the devastated regions in
Northern France for reconstruction
work. He understood, he said, the diff
cult position Of the French and British
delegates, but he wished to give them
an opportunity to make statement on
the subject, as the news had aroused
bitter feeling in Germany. He felt
that the forced labor of prisoners was
form of punishment which ought to
be protested against.

Christian Party Changes Name
The Christian party at its caucus de-
,cided to resume tn cold name of Cen
trist Herr Pfeiffer, one of. the leaders
of the party and former member Of
the Reichstag, gave this explanation of
the change:
"Ye do not feel that we really ought
to call ourselves The Christian party"
1t is becoming apparent that one OF
the main contests in the Assembly will
be between the advocates of republic
with all state divisions eliminated and
the advocates of a federal republic in
which separate states shall continue to
exist with we'll defined states rights.
The former Conservatives and Ma
tional Liberals, all of whom favor a
federal republic, are opposed to any
division of Prussia, whereas consider
able part of the Centrist party intends
to fight for the creation of west
German state" formed from the Catho-
lie territories of Western Prussia.
tt appears unlikely, however, that
there is any considerable sentiment

Democrats Uncertain

The most uncertain factor is the
German Democratic party. The left
wing of the Democrats is almost red,
but on the other side are many dele
gates recruited from the Richthofen
wing of the National Liberals.
Not only has Minister Preuss ac-
cepted the mandate, but an effort has
been made to show that the real lead
ers of the party were not responsible
or the announcement made before.
The Majority Socialists favor re-
public with no state divisions, but it
remains to be seen whether Bavaria,
in particular, will consent to give up
any or all of the special rights which
it enjoyed in the old empire.
Herr Pfeiffer, in discussing the fut-
ure Of the Socialists from the stand
point of Centrist leader, said:
"The appointments for provisional
president and chancellor will be only
for few months to span the interval
until a general election and it is con-

the Central Empires as they greeted
each other in the vestibule of the
magnificent Volkshaus, where the Con-

toward which the delegates of the re-

since the opening of the congress.

the Majority Socialists, declared that
they were willing to go as far as any
other nation and will favor a policy of
total abolition of armed military
forces. He said the party programme
had provided for keeping a small citi-
zen army which would be incapable of
aggression" but he hoped and could
almost promise that at the next Inter
national Socialist Congress the German
Majority Socialists would officially
accept total dcmilitarization.
