 Shown Its Hole Card
By Associated Pro.

Grand Rapids, Mich, February 22.-- The first and probably final week of the prosecution in the Newberry cleo tions conspiracy trial will open tomor- row with prospects that a consider able portion of it will be devoted to testimony affecting the principal de- fendant.

Scarcely day las passed butfat least one letter or telegram bearing the Newberry sigma ture has been described or read to the jury.
 Despite this constant fire at the chief figure in the trial, Frank C. Bailey. assistant attorney general, has let it be known that some of the strongest testimony in this regard has been reserved for the final week.

TARD|EU AGAIN
 DEFENDS TREATY Cites Figures to Show Long and Laborious Study Was
 Given to Great Work
Nv As,ocIatsd Press

Paris, Saturday, February H-Capt. Andre Tardieu, former head of the gen eral commission for Franco-American wire matters, under the heading, "On the Bring of the Error refutes in the third of his articles in L'Illustration to- day what he describes as the legend that the German treaty was made by -four fallible, badly informed men, shut up in a dark room, imposing upon the world the law of their fantasy
 Against this legend he cites satisfies on the work of the treaty makers to show the long and laborious study given to the terms of the treaty and argues for it's strict execution before Judgment IS passed as to whether 1t is capable of be- ing executed. During six months. Cap tain Tardieu says, the treaty material was studied and discussed by htty-t~o technical commissions comprised of spe- sialists from all countries, who held l,ti6 sessions. Their conclusions, he asserts, were checked by twenty-six investlga- tions and were discussed from January 10 to June 2S by three bodies-the councI' of foreign ministers, which held tnirty- nine sessions; the council of ten. which held seventy-two sessions, and the coun- cil of four, which met 45 times.
 These three bodies, he declares, heard representatives of all interested allied and neutral countries and finally the counclle of ministers of the principal powers con sidered the text.
 Starring with the recent recession Of the allies from their original demands Tor trial of the German war guilty, Captaih Tardieu discussed Germanys demanus for revision of the treaty and pred. GUS that many other attempts to change l.s terms will be made unless the aiiies stand firm. Revisions already have been made. he declares, for beginning on May 10 a minute study has been made oi every article by technical commissions that in more than 250 sessions and by the council of four in seventy-six meetings
 Captain Tardieu declares that the same spirit that recently became public in Lon don existed earlier in Paris, but that TOT mer Premier Clemenceau firmly held ms ground. He asserts it is easy to reiule criticism of the treaty as inexcusapie ps reviewing those parts of it which alreaiy have been made effective, such as th' occupation of German territory, the re turn of Alsace-L Lorraine. the taking ovei of the Saar basin by the French, -execu- tion of the Schleswig plebiscite, dlsnlah ting of fortresses in the neutral zone inc surrender of the German fleet, the re- turn of nearly nine billion francs in pii' laged materials and the turning over U Belgium of the Walloon cantons'

 FAVOR THE SOV|ETS Returned Nlilitiamen From Russia Ask Lloyd George
 to Reverse His Policy
By Associated Press

London, February 22.-A number of military men and others, who during the past two years have been engaged in official duties in Russia, have sent memorial to Premier Lloyd George ad- vocating recognition of soviet Russia
 The signatories include Lieutenant Gen. eral Sir Hubert Cough, who headed the British military mission in the Baltic region; Col F. G. Marsh, British mill tary agent in the Caucasus in 19l5-l6, and who later commanded brigade at Murmansk when chief of staff to Gen eral Cough, and several financial ad- visers and experts on the various miil- tary missions.
 They contend that simple trading with the cooperative unions is not sufficient without the assistance of the Russian government, while it is becoming clearer daily that the stability of Europe de- bends upon restoring the central Euro bean states, which can only be ade- ouateIy provisioned from Russia. ana without a general peace Russia's re- sources cannot be made available.

Paris, Saturday, February H.-Virtualiy nothing has been heard of former Pre- mier Clemenceau since his departure for Cairo for a vacation, and it is only now that accounts of his voyage are beginning Ito reach Paris from his fellow passef- gers aboard the Lotus

 When the ships wireless picked up Premier Milerand's declaration that he intended to continue the Clemenceau policy with regard to Russia, Clemenceau nlurmured: That would be funny" As the steamer passed the Trompoli vol- cano, NJ. Clemepceau said whimsically,

ARCHBISHOP HARTY
 GIVES HIS VIEWS In Pastoral Letter, Read in Catholic Churches, Says
 Government Failure
By Associated Press

Belfast, February 22.-In his pastrof letter read today in all Catholic churches in the arch diocese of Cashcl Archbishop Harty says:
 We are living under government which has proved itself an abject failure. Neither based on the consent Of the nation, nor working for the community ar a whole, it has tramped on the will of the people and upheld the ascendency of the pampered minority. History tells us that where such system reigns tse laws of God are set aside, coercion and crime go hand in hand and peaceful citst- zens are made the victims of the vicious circle.
 .The remedy for the Idish upheaval IS obvious. since freedom is the best solvent of political disorder. The tradlciona' loyalty of the Irish people to the laws ot God will prevail in the full when the days of oppression have passed away forever and when our people nave III tl,eir own hands the making of the ad- ministration and their own laws.
