fore right dominates the whole allied
treaty.
1t is declared by the Germans that
although the speech made by President
Wilson in October. 1916. recognized
that responsibility for the war rested
on the entire European system, the
treaty requires Germany to acknowl-
edge that she and her allies were re-
sponsiblc for all damage suffered in
opposing countries. It is asserted that
it is incontestible that some of the
allied and associated powers, such as
Italy and Rumania. entered the war for
the sake of territorial conquest.
The German counter proposals argue
that there is no basis of right for the
obligation to make compensation which
is to be imposed on Germany. Com
plaint is made that the amount of COM
pcnsation is to be fixed by hostile com
mission whose powers would enable it TO
administer Germany as bankrupt

War Will Start
Again, Says Pupin

NEW YORK, April Professor
NJ. Ppuin, of Columbia college, Serbi-
an consul here, sailed for Paris on the
White Star liner aBltic to attend the
peace conference.
He said the situation abroad is crit
ical, that the outlook is gloomy and
that there will be a good deal Of fight
ing before Europe is again tranquil,
He added:
"The world would be much better
off if some of the European powers
would stop quarreling over the divs-
ion of tiny towns and concentrate on
the broader principle of world peace.
Il have heard that the bolshevists
may succeed in linking Germany and
Russia, and if that should happen
there will be another war. The big
mistake was made when the armistice
was signed and the peace negotiations
commenced.
"The allies should have marched
on to Berlin and dictated the terms
of peace from there. They should
have kept an armed force in Germany
with headquarters in Berlin, for 25
years, until Germany had fulfilled
the terms of the allies"

Would Amend
Constitution

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April g.
Tennessee will have a compulsory
voting amendment to the constitu-
ton, provided the next general as
sembly sees fit to act upon the move
taken by the 61st general assembly
as embodied in the action of the sem
ate in the passage of bill Tuesday
providing for a fundamental
change of the laws of the state so as
to make the payment of a poll tax
of $40 per annum compulsory upon
every voter of the state, with the pro-
vision that this excessive tax be re-
mitted to the voter if he voted in the
last election held during that year or
if he can prove that he was prevented
from exercising his franchise privi-
lege through sickness, absence from
the state or other legitimate causes.
This is equivalent to a compulsory
voting law which has been agitated
considerably during the present ses.
sion of the legislature. This bill was
drawn and introduced by Senator AL
bert E. Hill and Finley M, Doris 81
Davidson county, and the proposition
is left up to the succeeding genera
assembly for final action in referring
lit to the people for ratification as al
amendment to the constitution Of the
state.

This is the latest appeal to youths
of the upper classes, advertised in the

ion to be preparatice to final battle

General Maaerker, one Of the
founders of the volunteer corps, told
the correspondent today the appeal
was being made for the upper class
es because the workmen had proven
unreliable"
The food situatio mis- becoming so
serious the Government is planning to
send expeditions of city people into
the country to get food from the far
mers and food hoarders.
This is bound to lead to riots and
be taken advantage of by the mili-
tarists, who will arm the country
people to march into the cities and
disarm the workmen and overthrow
the Government. This was predict
ed to be an authoritative source to-
day.

Fear Britain and
u. S. Will Forget
Frances Sacrifices

PARIS, April 2.-The council Of
four has reached the gracest part of
its deliberations on more than one
question. The statesmen composing
it have definitely to turn either to the
right or left. They are now consider
ing questions upon which compromise
is impossible if a satisfactory peace is
to be concluded Not only are the
great problems of the peace settle
ment, such as the German frontiers
on the west and reparation, now un-
der debate, but the whole attitude
and policy of the allies with regard to
bolshevist is occupying their atten-
tion.
That they expect a speedy conclu-
sion to their conversations was stated
by M. Pichon in night sitting of the
chamber Saturday 1t is also shown
by the preparations now being made
at Versailles for the meeting with
the Germans. The apartments of
Louis XVI will be prepared for big
and small meetings and for the use of
secretaries and the press. The Ger
man delegates probably will be
lodged in hotel requisitioned by
the government.
See U. S. and Britain Quitting.
The nature of the debate in the
council of four is perhaps best indi-
Gated by a survey of the Frcnch press
which is illed with appeals of every
kind to Premier Lloyd George and
President Wilson, calling upon them
to face the facts and realize Frances
as result of her tremen-
dous sacrifices in the war. PertnaX,
in an e"ticle headed "What England
and the United States Must Not For
get" courteously but frankly ex-
presses the view that Great Britain
is yielding to the tendency he al
ways has shown after every big
European war to withdraw from Eu-
ropean complications and that she is
burning with, a desire to get back
within her sea-girt isle and become
herself again. America, who for the
first time intervened in Europe, has
preceded Great Britain in this ten
lency.
Thus he continues, " it is easy
to understand the policy toward
which both London and Washington
are leaning"
