THANKS Mr.. TAFT FOR
HIS PEACE AMENDMENT
President Acknowledges by Gable
Suggestion for the Constitution Of
the Proposed League.

Amendments to the league Of ma
tions constitution proposed by for
mer President Taft. one of which was
considered at the peace conference
in Paris yesterday. were transmitted
to the President at the request of Mr..
Taft through Secretary Tumulty. prior
to March %. On March 22 a cable
was received from the President re-
questing that his thanks for the sug-
gestion be extended to Mr. Taft.
While the text OF the amendment
by Mr.. Taft and cabled to the Presi-
dent was not made public. 1t is sur
missed that one, Of the amendments
which was considered by the peace
conference was in relation to the
Monroe doctrine. Mr.. Taft made
three or four suggestions for amend
ments to the leagues constitution.
It Is the expectation, in informed
circles here, that an announcement
of the final agreement on the debated
issues will be made in Paris at an
early date. The President, according
to cables Of Rear Admiral Grayson,
his personal physician, is working
night and day: but his health is hold
other side that the President will
yield on none OF the vital points in the
proposal for the league of nations.
Suggestions for amendm ents, how
ever. as in the case Of those presented
by Mr.. Taft, will be given careful con-
Sideration.

Tells Of Players Attitude.

The testimony Of Mr.. Goldman was
yesterday afternoon to
permit F. Otto Knabe, first manager
OF tho Baltimore Feds" and now a
coach in the National League, to
testify. Mr.. Knabe told Of the diff
Guilty he experienced in securing
players, largely because Of their
fear that II they accepted his offer
and the new league failed the play
ers might not be able again to Sc
cure berths In the major leagues.
Mr.. Goldman, on cross-examination
were different classes Of ball play
ers and there were not enough hrst-
class players to nll the demand. He
agreed that the Federal League. in
paying big salaries to National and
American League stars, did not
have to take into consideration the
original draft price OF these indi-
viddals.
Mr. Pepper Of counsel for organized
ball asked Mr. Goldman whether he
realised that part Of the salary paid
professional ball players was for the
hold in their services under the re-
serve clause. The witness said he did
not SO understand that salaries were
divided into two parts.
Asked IL the rules Of the major
leagues did not in effect work to pre-
vent rich clubs from buying out the
poor ones. Mr. Goldman said a rich
club could get certain advantages by
reason Of its wealth, but that it would
not be good business for one club to
have all the really first-class players.

Will Kaiser Return to Berlin?

These are questions frequently asked
or shall we EXPECT within the next
rev weeks the return of the German
emperor to Berlin and his reincarn
ton as the champion of order against
oolshevism, appealing to the terror
and weariness OF the west?
In any event. two facts stand out
with growing impressiveness. One is
the still unchecked advance of boil
shevism and the other the growing
paralysis of the conference of peace.
1t Is still punctuating it's sentences,
while bolshevism is eating up the
eastern peoples as one eats an arti-
choke. leaf by leaf, but today for the
nrst time an appreciation of the truth
is brought alike by the news from
Budapest. Odessa and Cairo, and it is
echoed by the further news which
comes from Warsaw. Bucharest and
Prague. year ago the world was
talking of the success of the Germans
in breaking the western front of the
allies.
Today bolshevism has broken the
eastern front. absorbed the Ukraine,
separated Poland from Rumania. A
year ago. when our lines broke. we
adopted unity of command. Shall we
now? The allied policy against boil
shevism has SO far resembled the pol
icy of the Roman empire against
barbarism in it's last days. No longer
capa bic of meeting the enemy in his
own country. the Roman retired from
one barrier to another, until in his
last ditch he perished. and his en-
pire with him. Western civiliza ton
is certainly not incapable of action.
but so far has been incapable Of
achieving a policy. 1t invited the
bolsheVists to Prinkipo eight weeks
ago. and. by way of answering the
the bolshevists have come
not to Prinkipo. but to Budapest The
conference of peace continues to de-
liberate. but while it seeks to make
an appropriate ending to the recent
war it finds itself confronted with A
new war. Clemenceau used to remind
US. day by day that the Germans were
at Noyon. Who will remind him and
his associates now that the bolshe-
visits at Budapest?

whether their peoples will stand another
war. not in Russia, but on their own
frontiers. II bolshevism shall reach those
frontiers. They are asking themselves
whether millions of men who suffered
agonies which are incident to the win
ming of victory will be willing to make
new sacrifices with the consciousness
that the fruits of victory have been
thrown away by the incapacity of the
statesmen at Paris.
The opposition in America is ac-
customed to hold Mr.. Wilson prima-
rily and mainly responsible for the
paralysis of Europe, but that is not
half the story. If Mr.. Lloyd George
has consented that the British policy
at Paris should be in the main a
dent, it is because Mr.. Lloyd George
is seeking to serve his own political
necessities and endeavoring to borrow
the prestige of Mr.. Wilson in Europe
to that end. If NJ. Clemenceau is
yielding again and again to the i'm
upon policies and upon procedures in
it is because NJ. Clemenceau
feels incapable of facing the situa-
tion in France should Mr.. Wilson pass
into the hands Of the radical opposi-
tion.
1t IS a fact that in the presence of
Mr.. Wilson European craftsmanship
has abdicated. But it is equally true
that in no small measure Mr.. Wilson
has been forced into dictatorship by
his associates. He has been asked to
decide questions between the Euro
pean nations which had no concern
for America. So he has arrived at his
position here because he alone, from
the outset, has had clear and definite
views of the objective which he
sought. and that objective was his
league of nations.
AS it stands now the Paris confer
ence has reached deadlock wholly
comparable with the deadlock which
existed in the congress of Vienna at
the moment when news arrived that
Napoleon had returned from Elba-
Conceivably the news of advancing
bolshevism will act upon the Paris
conference as the bad news of the
landing of the great emperor. But
more and more one becomes satisfied
here in Paris that only some outside
event can produce decision within the
council. When the Paris conference
met. bolshevism was still east of the
Dnieper; today it is west of the
Danube. Will the arrival at the Dan
ube suffice, or will the conference of
Paris postpone it's decision until
Trotsky and Lenin approach the
lsonlo and the Rhine?

RUMOR UNFOUNDED

In statement sent to Governor James K. Lynch of the Federal Re- serve Bank, Secretary of the Treas ury Carter Glass has exploded the rumor that the saving of more than fifteen billion dollars as the result of the armistice had removed the neces- sity for another Liberty loan.
 Secretary Glass statement follows
 "A rumor has reached the treasury that a mistake has been made by the authorities, that from $15,0O0, 0,OOO,OOO to $17,OOO,- 900, has been returned to the treasury as result of the armistice and that therefore an other Liberty loan is unneces- sary. The rumor is absolutely unfounded. I suppose it has it's origin in a failure to under stand the discussion of the pro- posed repeal by congress of $15,- 0OO,000,0O0 of appropriations and authorizations. This does not mean a return of money to the treasury but a cancellation of authority heretofore given by congress to expend money in the future.
 "As 8 mater of fact, the whole proceeds of the fourth Liberty loan and of all previous loans had, at the time the arnistice was signed, been expended or anticipated by treasury certi- ficates of indebtedness issued during the summer and early fall to finance the current re- quirements of the government and at that time outstanding and unpaid"

Evolution of Highway
 Building

Reconstruction must be applied 1 literally to the highways of the Unit ed States, and the farmer, the busi. ness man, the truck owner axl the tourist are all joining in d lands upon Washington and their State anc county political authorities for bet. ] ter roads. r.s
 Government statistics demonstrate that moving farm products by wagon costs 33 cents per ton mile, as com pared with 15 cents per ton mile by the motor truck. The element of time is equally important, and since motor traffic has increased 100 pel cent in these last two years there is not only need for new highways but the old travelled roads must receive attention.
 Only thirteen per cent of the high ways of the United States are of hard surface, and the "crack" roads of the east have been "cracked to pieces" by the strain of motor traf- fic. "Wagon loads" have an aver age capacity of five tons; the heavy motor trucks when loaded weigh two or three times as much, and with eighty per cent of this load riding the rear wheels, and gliding cross country at the rate of twenty miles an hour, the result has been ruin to lightly constructed highways.
 Road building in its relation to re- construction, is recognized by the Federal government as of immediate importance, since it offers a means of providing work for the returning soldiers and discharged muntion workers. It is added that it will take contractors out of the nothing doing class and make them the busiest of the busy; it will give road supervis- ors something to talk about besides making excuses for bad highways; it will make the quarries and stone crushers prosperous; boom sales for road machinery, cement, asphalt, tar, etc., as we'll as enable the farmer to get more closely in touch with town and city markets, sell more cheaply and deliver produce more regularly; decrease transportation costs, relieve delays and increase the pleasure of automobiling. These are the argp- ments that are alive in every com munity, and which are stimulating the demand for more modern meth ods of highway building that con- stitute a complete revolution and evolution of this phase of our na- tional progress.
 It may be said, with the definite ness to be attached to the highest sources of information, that con- gress will attempt to create a brand new set of laws for the pur- pose of making the public roads as much a part of the nations busi- ness as are the affairs of the army and navy. Road building, it is con- tended, must be recognized by the United States government as pro fession and trade.
 In this revolution of highway con

struction it has been found that the old methods of building highways are entirely inadequate. Dirt and clay roads that were made possible by elbow grease, simple scrapers and the pick and shovel are now achiev- ed in a more modern manner through the compelling power of sticks Of dynamite, fortified by energizing steam shovels, road building ma chinery, and modern road building products.
 That the country is alive to the necessities of reconstructing the highways is further evidenced by the fact that Illinois has authorized a bond issue of $60,000,000, while Penn ,sylvania has voted $50,OO0,00O of bonds for public highways. These are the two biggest bond issues for state road building in history.
 For the same reason that it be-
