HARPER TO SEEK

Col. Robert n. Harper. president OF

ming trip to Michigan to urge the

of the new Ford automobile factor
les
A letter telling in detail the pros
poets Washington offers from an in
dustriaI standpoint is being prepared
by Colonel Harper and will be sent
tomorrow to L. q. Liebold, Henry
Ford's private secretary.
In the letter Colonel Harper ex-
presses his desire to make a trip to
Detroit to present in person Wash
ington's petition for the location Of
one OF the Ford factories in the Ma
tional Capital.
Mr.. Liebold is a personal friend of
Colonel Harper, and il is probable
that a date for an interview within
the next few weeks will be arranged
through the manufacturers secretary.
Colonel Harper is confident that,
once an interview is arranged, he will
be able to present the argument for
the establishment Of one of the Ford
factories in Washington in such a
way that the plan will be seriously
considered by Mr.. Ford.

Eaid Lansing. "She has paid a fearful
penalty for the crime OF plunging the
world into four years of blood and fire.
Today starvation and want are the pOr-
tiOn OF the German people. Violence
and murder stalk through the streets
of their great cities. 1t Is the price
for their own evil doing, just reiribu-
tion for their crimes.
But 1t is no time to allow senti-
nents Of vengeance and hatred -
stand in the way Of checking the ad-
vance OF this cOnfiagration, which
will soon be at the German borders,
threatening other lands. We must
change the conditions on which social
unrest feeds and strive to restore Ger
many to normal, though it be a weak
ened, social order. Two words tell the
Story--food and peace. To make Ger
many capable OF resisting anarchism
and the hideOus despotism Of the red
terror, she must be allowed to puT-
chase food; and to earn that food in
dustrial conditions must be restored
by treaty Of peace.
Warns Of Delay.
1T is not out OF pity for the Ger
man people that this must be done,
and done without delay, but because
we victOrs in this war will be the
chief sufferers If it is not done. I
say to you men of France and men
OF America, to you men of the allied
powers, that no time is to be lost IL
we are to save the world from the
despotism Of anarchy. even as we
have saved it from the despotism of
autocracy. We ought to, we must,
make peace without delay. We have
reached a crisis in the affairs of the
world.
I'VE must meet it without passion
and without permitting our Judgment
to be warped by the natural and un-
avoidable desire for vengeance on a
nation which has committed such
atrocities as the Germans have COM
mitted."

NATIONS LEAGUE SOCIETIES
DEBATE OVER ARMAMENT

LONDON, March 1.-THE League of
Nations societies in convention here to-
day considered amendments proposed by
the. French for greater guarantees of
security. These consisted Of proposals
for fixing the limitation of arpaments
and providing a permanent body to fore
see and prepare military measures nee
essary to assure the fulfllment Of obli-
cations to the league.
The chief objection to these amend
ments comes from the American repre-
sentatives- According to one OF the
American delegation. they are agreeable
to giving the French guarantees 50 long
as they do not make demands which in
terfere with the United States Consti-
tuition. They wish to preserve the right
for the American Congress stO decide
when the United States shall make war.

BRYAN Halls PACT
AS GREATEST STEP

William Jennings Bryan, who has
been i'll here for several weeks, last
night dictated from his sick bed q
statement indorsing the league of ma
tions as, "the greatest step toward
peace in a thousand years"
AIR. Bryan, however. recommended
changes in the draft Of the proposed
league as it now stands.
The faults Of the constitution are
found to be in its indefniteness rather
than in things positively objection
able," he said. For instance, 1t is
not stated with sufficient clearness
that the Monroe doctrine is pre-,
served"
''The idea of the league" he said,
'-is taken from the thirty treaties ne
gotiated by the United States with
<hree-quarters of the world. Our ma
-tion, therefore, gives to the peace
league its greatest piece Of machin-
eFy."
Mr.. Bryan believe that good vii!
come out Of honest criticism Of the
league. 'SThe President has done the
best he could" he said, but he will
6e aided by intelligent criticism from
those friendly to the idea"
He recommends several amend
ments. chief among which is a change
5b the representation proposed for
the United States. "A comparison of
voting strength will show that while
our nation is the most powerful in
the combination, whether measured
by population, wealth or moral influ-
ence, it has no larger vote than ma
tlons mach inferior in population.
wealth and influence" he said.

The decision of the peace conference

young men should be given a cOmbi-
