Especial cable Dispatch)
Paris, April 21.--The situation in
regard to Syria, already difficult, has
been further complicated by serious
disturbances in that country, of which
the British delegation has received
official notice.
In place of one interallied commits
sion to inquire into the Levantine
problem and report upon it, three
com mmissiuners are now proposed.
France protests against any commits
sion, on the ground that an inquiry
would be calculated to extend and
ombitter the feeling already prevail
ing in Syria. Some of the French
newspapers do not hesitate to assert
that these conditions have been pro-
voked by British agents, in order to
obtain British mandatory over that
regRn
Must Consider Religion.
Interallied opinion varies respecting
the future of COnstantinople and of
the Caliphalate. The French view is
against driving the Mussulmans out
of Europe, a sa course likely to entail
grave racial and religious disorders,
with serious consequences throughout
the east.
Present troubles in India, where
Mussulmans and Hindus have united,
are held by the French to accentuate
the danger of drastic measures against
the sultan, as chief of the Mussulman
faith. This point of view, which was
stated in these dispatches several
weeks ago has been presented to the
British delegation by its Indian sec
tion.
Thus a disposition and tendency
have appeared to ask the United States
10 accent the mandatory over Turkey
where high possibilities of reconstruc-
ton might be fully exploited under
some such administrator, for instance
as Mr.. Hoover.
BCth Favor America.
1t is questionable whether America
would undertake such a task, but there
are evidences that both the French
and the British would favor such ac-
ceptance, as neither power rclishes the
thought of having the other installed
there.
A feeling of relief prevails among
Premier Lloyd Georges encourage a;
the Hotel Majestic over the success
with which he manipulated the par

led or driven into any indiscreet dis
closures of his achievements in the
peace conference. 1t is confidently
felt, so far as Great Britain is con-
cerned, that parliamentary crisis
has been deferred until after the
signing of peace.
No decision has been reached as to
the procedure in dealing with the Ger
man peace ENJOYS, in respect to the
time in whic hthey must definitely
act, or even whether they will be al

1t is supposed they will probably

FRICKE WINNER
Of FIRST CLASH
IN TREASON CASE


New York, April 21.-Federal Judge
Mayer late today granted motion OF
counsel for Albert Paul Fricke TO
withdraw from the jury consideration
of the first of two counts in an indict-
ment charging him with treason. lie
held that the jury must consider the
second count, however, after ruling
out il of l6 overt acts alleged in this
count.
The first count charged Fricke with
giving aid and comfort to the imperial
German government. The second
charged-him with giving aid and COM
fort to an enemy, namely, Kari Rodl-
ger, alias Hermann Vessels, a Ger
man agent. "
The five overt acts charged under
this count, on which Judge MAYER
held that the jury must decide,
charged Frcke with giving Rodiger
financial aid.
DR.. Renhard Bernhard, a chemist
today testified that Fricke told him
Rodiger was coming to this country
to "try and induce men to enlist IN
the British navy" He could not re-
call distinctly "A conversation about
which he was questioned, in which
Fricke was said to have told him that
men induced to enlist IN the British
navy would be expected to plant
bombs on the boats to which they
were assigned, but recalled t hat
there was some such plan
Charles A. Martin OF San Francisco
testified that on one occasion he had
seen Fricke and Rodiger together in
a restaurant.
The government rested its case to-
day. Fricke's counsel announced that
no witnesses would be d.lled for the
defense.

That violent communication, the first

tives, purported to be signed by all OF
the members of the old charter COM
mittee. | think | am reliably. m
formed that neither Judge Craig nor
Judge IIeacock signed il, or knew Oh
or now endorse its contents. lt was
written by w. p. Mctcalf, who Is now
decrying the fact that the Journal mas
since that time used his name in the
fight that has followed.
| am betraying no confidence in
stating that the fight is being made
solely because a number of the men
leading the opposition are opposed TO
adding anybody to the membership OF
the commission. ! may add that they
are fighting it because they believe
two members endorsed by union labor
will be elected, if the new charter
carries.
Commissioners Not Attacked
That there have been mistakes
made by the commissioners, they
themselves will admit but no one is
asking their recall. No one, so far as
know. is asking that a new city
manager be appointed, Certainly |
would be opposed to any attempt to
recall any one of the comm ssion"rs,
and / believe Mr. Hebenstreit would
make a good city manager if he would
keep himself out of politics, of which
he knows less than an average tenS
year. old boy
But let the voters understand that
the city commissioners and the MEM
bers of the old charter commission
are responsible for the new charter,
except for the slight changes made
as noted above, one of them creating
five voting districts where the corn
m ssion's charter had four, and tho
striking out of the amending clause
by Chief Justice Roberts on the
ground of uneonstitutionality.
With this abso utelv truthful his
tory of the origin of the new charter
could not do other than support II
and keep faith with the men | induced
at the request of the very men now
actively fighting the adoption. to not
present the petition for a bill to put II
up to the voters as to whether there
should he a return to the old alder
manic form of city government,
As to whether two of the city COM
missioners and others present at that
! conference have kept faith, | sh"l
leave it to the readers of this article
to judge.
