Even when she had the "fiu'' her
husband wouldn't give her any
money to supply the necessities of
life, Edna Hackbirth says, and that
is one reason why she is asking the
superior court TO grant a divorce
from Herman Hackbirth. The other
reason is that on Nov. p, 1918,
Heartless Herman struck her with
his fist, causing an immediate sep
aration she declares. Besides these
principle reasons she cites that Her
man called her vile names. The
couple were married June / Of last
year.

Gaby Deslys has nothing on Ethel
Isbell when it comes TO pulling that
'infatuation" stuff, according TO
George Isbell. who. unlike the movie
hero, decided to get a divorce when
his wife left him TO go to another
man. Ethel left a note, George says
in his complaint filed in the superior
court. which document set forth the
fact that she didn't care a whoop
about him, and that she was mighty
strong for somebody else. Now, the
affidavit goes on, Ethel is living with
the other man. The couple were
married April II, 1917. and separ-
ated Dec. II, 1918.

Ambassador Calls Outrages

With President
By the Associated Pres,

Boston. Feb. 24.-Ambassador Fran
els, home from Russia for the first time
in two years. had several conferences
with President Wilson when coming over
on thegGeorge Washington and mad
several recommendations for action on
the part OF the Allied and American
government for meeting the Bolshevist
menace and restoring Russia to the fam
lily of nations.
Mr.. Francis probably will disclose
them later when he appears before one
of the congressional committees. He
IL likely TO remain In Washington some
time. advising the State department and
Congress on the situation as he saw II
on leaving.
"A reign Of terror instituted by the
Roishevtki, maintaining themselves in
power, is prevailing in central and north
ern Russia" said the ambassador. The
outrages they have committed are in
credible"
"I think it is impossible to restore
peace to Europe with chaos prevailing
in Russia. In fact, with Germany vir-
tually ~uninjured industrially. | am per-
suaded that. IL a peace is negotiated

Paris, Feb. 2i-(By A. p.)-while
the idea has seemed to prevail in some
quarters during the last few days that
the proposed conference with the
Russian faction leaders on Princes Is
lands has been definitely abandoned, II
is understood now that nothing has been
abandoned except the first invitation
issued by the council.

REDS LEAD WARSAW RIOTS

STATIONS, Stopping Premier's Cal

warsaw. Feb. ga CROWD, appar-
entity made up OF persons out Of work
and led by Bolshevik agents, made a
demonstration yesterday before the Ho-
tel Bristol. where Premier Paderewski
and the inter-Allicd mission to Poland
nave their headquarters.
The Premier's automobile was stopped
as he was leaving the hotel and NJ.
Paderewski was forced to make a
speech. He promised the demonstration
that relief would be provided as soon
as possible and appealed to them to
dispense because Of the impression their
attitude would make on the foreign mis-
sion.
Later one of the French officers at.
tached to the mission appeared on a
balcony and told the crowd food was
on the way to Warsaw. The affair
turned out to be rather tame and the
crowd was eventually dispersed by cav
airy and infantry.

Saturday night. II is understood one
OF the chief subjects of contention is
the disposition TO be made Of the

The Americans adhere TO the position
that such vessels should be sunk.
II is understood the British now sup.

to the destruction Of the ships, which,
he says, are of great military value,
and also wants to salvage the steel,
boilers. dynamos and other materials
for industrial purposes IN case the
ships are destroyed.
The American experts say the ships
are not we'll adapted to be made a
part OF other navics. and the material
in them is not worth ~salvaging.
The idea OF sinking the German
ships originated in the American navy,
which felt hal il the ships were di-
vided they would go largely TO the
British navy. since Britain's part in
the naval war and her losses entitle
her to the lions share of the captured
ships.
This would involve a great addition
TO the American naval building pro
gram, which the administration has
wished TO avoid.
Apparently the British are recon.

equaling their own, and are not n
xious to add to the costs of mainten.
in the British navy by the add.
ton of the German ships.

MAY SIGN A
WITHIN TWO MONTHS

Paris. Feb. 2i.-(By A. P.)-The at
mosphere around the Peace Conference
has changed remarkably in the last few
days. The elaboration n caution
which marked the proceedings of impor-
tant committees have given away. and
even the most conservative delegates
are being carried forward at a greater
pace. Talk Of early peace has become
general.
President Wilson before he left
France urged the American commission
ers to spare no exertion TO bring the
conference to a conclusion. at least re-
specting a peace treaty. but the actual
been Premier Ciemenceau, who. even

ing from the wound given him by a
would-be assassin. has the

them the need for fastening the great
work in their hands.
France Yields Point
France originally doubted the wis
dom of concluding peace before condi-
tons crystallized In Germany inc eff
fective guarantees against further dan
ger from that quarter had teen pro-
vided and an opportunity had been as
sured that devastated France and Bel
Kisn Industries would retrieve the
ground Germany had gained on them.
Now France agrees with America and
Great Britain In demanding a terminal
tion OF the existence OF the present
technical state OF war. so that ever
OF peace.
This view was reflected today by
stephen Pichon. the French Foreign Min
n lister. In his regular Sunday talk with
foreign newspaper correspondents. He
said. In discussing the probable date
when the treaty Of peace viii be signed,
that work would be FASTENED as soon
as the necessary foundation had been
N laid M. Pichon referred to the fact
\ that President Wilson thought when
A he left the end could be reached by
the middle of May. but added that II
was now regarded possible that II might
be. sooner and that he saw no reason
to doubt II. Asked II the Peace Con-
ference could then dispense Re replied
that general principles which must gov
ern the treaty Of peace would be In
GUIDED In the treaty itself. while their
application must be determined and
made workable afterward. This was

archists met In Zurich to organize a
plot against the French Premier and
other Allied statesmen In Paris. In his
group was Misiani. director OF a radical
paper. who went often to Geneva to con-
Ter with anarchists there. A few days
ago Misiani was arrested in the offices Of
the Red Flag. the Spartacan organ In
Berlin. II Is said he was especially
charged with smuggling revolutionary
propaganda into France via Switzer-
land.

Press caught n glimpse of the Tiger
yesterday standing near an open win
dow. He was looking out over a little
garden and apparently enjoying the
bright Sunshine Of a balmy spring day.

more drawn n pale than usual and
his eyes seemingly were deeper under
the bushy eyebrows.

concerned with the exploitation OF for
eign territory or deeply concerned
with foreign investments, which a
some time Or other may need miiitar,
support, are buslly engaged in organ
izing an extensive propaganda op
posed to the sort OF settlement that he
has proposed at Paris.
The President might have made his
Boston address one of the most sweep,
ing and inclusive that he has ever
delivered. But he has decided to re.
serve his ammunition and to test at
first hand the feeling OF the country
as It is reflected in Washington.
Renounces Interesting Experiment
In making this decision he renounc.

ment OF historic interest. New Eng.
land is still. in its own estimation at
least. the guardian OF the national con.
science-a gray vestal that sits with
folded hands and a lifted eyebrow to
keep an ancient sanctuary inviolate.
II the mood of New England ever
thaws, the phenomenon will become
general.
Mr.. Wilson was urged to cry out to
New England, to challenge it to get
its opinions out of lavender and sub
Jet them to the pitilcss light OF these
new times. But Mr.. Wilson decided
otherwise, and his address said moth.

What he will tell the Foreign Re
lations Committee Is likely to carry

to tell them we lag some distance be-

likely TO say in Washington what all
the people of Europe already know
through terrible experience. that the
issue lies no longer between over
driven and tormented millions in
different nationalities. but between the
plain people OF the world everywhere
and those who lead them.
Elaborate Protection for President
Those who have had opportunities
TO study the trend in Europe said here
today that it will have to be SO re-
garded IL new wars and revolutions
are not to drag what remains OF the
European civilization to the dust. And

Provisional Peace
Near as French Yield


Continued from PAGE One
peace is made. These issues are the
boundary question relating to Ger
many, the question Of reparation, the
question of the economic policy of the
Allies among themselves and with
Germany, and the question OF the
permanent military establishment of
Germany and the Allies. The issue of
r~eparation involves the most time.
and the commission working on ii will
not be ready to say how much Ger
many finally shall pay for two or
three months.
The American attitude is that it is
easier to underestimate than to over
estimate the amount Germany can
pay. The Americans are impressed
Gy-the surprising ability all nations
have shown to meet the costs of the
war. At the beginning the ablest
financiers thought the world could not
stand the financial strain of the war
six months. Americas ability to raise
forty billions in a short time is an
other instance of the great financial
capacity of modern nations. The
promptness with which France paid
her indemnity for the Franco-Prus-
sian war also influences the Judgment
Of those assessing damages against
Germany.
Alsace-Lorraine improvements
One set-off against Frances claim
will be the German improvements in
Alsace and Lorraine since 1871. When
Germany too the provinces she paid
France for certain government pos
sessions there. IL is estimated that
France gains about a billion dollars
in such improvements in Alsace-Lor-
raine. The question of how much Ger
many is able to pay now is involved
in the question whether Il is safe to
compel Germany to pay over her gold
supply TO the damaged nations. Many
authorities hold that this involves
financial peril and probably there will
be a compromise. Other immediate
assets are German securities in neu-
trail countries, but some of these have
to be used for raw materials and food.
