IN THE COVENANT NOW?

PARIS, April ,t.--CoEamenting on the
six amendments to the covenant Of the
League of Nations suggested BY Elihu
Root, It was stated to-day by one of
the legal specialists associated with
the American Peace Conference delega'
ton that he believed all. the amend
ments were acceptable to the American
delegation.
The suggestion that the American
representatives sign the covenant with
the reservation that the United States
does not rel!nqulsh its traditional at
titude toward purely American ques-
tions is apparently regarded with con-
siderable favor in American official
circles. The delegates also were i'm
pressed by the proposed amendment
providing for the revision of the con-
vention within not less than five years
nor more than ten years.
The suggestion for the signature of
the covenant by the United States
with reservations designed to in
sure the safety OF the Monroe Doctrine
and safeguard American immigration
laws. it was pointed out. involves nc
new procedure, as the reservations would
be somewhat similar to those with which
the Algeciras treaty was signed.
Mr.. Roots six proposed amendments
to the covenant were in the hands oi
the American peace delegation for sew.
eral days before they were published II

fully considered by the delegates, who
expressed their appreciation OF this def
mite and constructive criticism.
Several OF the Root suggestions ar,

Against New Conditions.

BEaLN. March 81 (delsyed) All
the Prussian district and provincial
Government school authorities have
been notified by Herr Haenlsch, Minis
ter Of Religion and Education. that pic
lures of former Emperor William and
the former Crown Prince 10 longer may
be hung In the schoolrooms.
The order originates from an Incl
dent in an East Prussian school where
the teacher put ex-Emperor Williams
picture in an attic after the revolution,
but was ordered by the authorities to
hang II up again. whereupon nc en-
tered a protest. The Minister. in re-
ply, said II was not permitted to re-
store the pictures.
In his order, Herr Haenisch said
that the Government did not intend to
he iconoclastic, but must insist that
the schools shall not be used directly
or indirectly for propaga nda against
new state regulations. Such ,props-
ganda, he added is contained In the
display of pictures and buSts o. the
former Emperor and his oldest son. He
says that the new Government from
the beginning repudiated the practice
OF prosecuting officials and teachers for
their political beliefs. and declared
that he would proceed against every
case OF political harassment coming TO
his attention.
The Socialist Tor,1aerts greets the
order warmly and suggests that II
be extended so that all lilIenesses OF
the former Emperor be removed.
especially where no technical Difficult
ties are involved. The paper says IL is
a good sign that teachers now have the
right OF direct complaint to the Minis
ter and declares that countless teachers
will again breathe more freely.

The Government has decided to pro-

to this region to protect the plants and

Although the authorities claimed
to-day that IL was untrue that pre-

mitted that the situation was fairly
serious. Throughout the Ruhr dis
trict the workmen are willing to work,
but are powerless in tho face of the
Spartacans and have Joined in their
demands for a so per cent. increase in
wages and SIS bonus. The Bochum
miners are striking because the mine
owners refuse to pay them the same
wages for a six hour day as for q
seven and one-half hour day.

Fight bitterly wased.


Mayor Thompson was fought bitterly
by his opponents. who charged him with
failure to support the war programme
OF the United States, with extravagaDce
in office and with manipulation of the

He answered these charges by claim

the city, that war time conditions had
called for heavy municipal expenditures
and fatty denying he had used the Board
Of education to promote his political

Food Administrator Garfield recog'
nized the right Of the public in his con-
sideration of the coal strike as no other
Government official has done since war
broke out with Germany. He weighed
together the wages of miners, the
profits cf the mine owners and the cost
of coal to the public, and then declared
the miners were not getting enough
pay and should have IA per cent in
crease. He declared further the public
was paying enough for coal and that
mine owners should take from their
own profits the increase granted miners
Give the miners more but donot charge
the public more for coal, he favored
because mine owners were making more
than far profit out OF the coal Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson favored grant
ing to miners almost the increase they
demanded and then letting the mint
owners increase the price of coal to thu
consumer to cover the increase. Thi
last has been the policy of most gov
eminent officials, grant every demand
to labor and charge the cost up to tn
public. This policy resulted in un
reasonable wages in thousand places
while the public is footing the bill, an
the American people will enjoy tn
novelty of such an opinion as that de

excited the ire Of miners who were

mine owners are the most menacing OF
