He oppos- ed any relief legislation at this time on the ground that heavy addition al taxes would be necessary what ever plan of relief was adopted.
 The cash payment plan of the Amercian Legion for $50 for each month of service was endorsed by Major A. B. Critchfield, infantry school formerly of Dayton, o. Mem- bers of the committee challenged his statement that "former soldiers will get what they want"
 Representative Garner democrat of Texas, commented that "former soldiers, if they continue to be well organized as at present will get all their demands"

CHAMP CLARK WANTS ALL 0F DELEGATES
 FREED OF p. l.E!:: EDGES ]
Missourian, Opposes Use of His Name in Georgia
 Primary

Washington, March 10.-Champ Clark of Missouri, candidate for the presidential nomination, eight years ago, came out unequivocably today for the election of uninstructed del- egates to the democratic national convention.
 Opposing use of his name is can didate in the Georgia preferential primaries, MT. Clark declared that while no man would "decline q pres idential nomination rendered by great party" the essential thing to | do was to have convention un- fettered by pledges, adopt "thor- oughly democratic platform" and then nominate the best democrats to i be found.
 1 Mr. Clark's views were expressed in the following letter to Hiram l.. Gardner of Eatonton, secretary of the Georgia democratic committee:
 q am profoundly grateful to my Georgia friends who have suggested that my name should be placed on the ticket at the preferential pres idential primary.
 "My own opinion is that it is best not to do that. In my judgment the San Francisco convention should be a consulting body to do two things:
 "First-Adopt thoroughly demo- cratic platform made of time tried and fundamental democrat princi- ples, progressive and up to date.
 "Second-On such democratic plat form nominate the ablest and most thorough going democrat that can be found.
 "No man will decline a presidentia nomination rendered freely by great joarty, for the presidency of the United States is not only the mos powerful office known to our polite al system, but the greatest ever de vised by the wet of man. It should not be bestowed upon any man tt . gratify his personal ambition, bu solely for the good of the country ! for the only reason for politica : party is to promote the prosperity
 the happiness and glory of the Amer ; ican people. So believing, l thinl it would be fortunate for both tn party and the country if all the dele l gates to San Francisco should g
 uninstructed so as to be free afte consultation to agree on the bes s man possible for president and vic g president on a platform thorough r democratic in every plank. g "The record of the democratic ad ] ministration and the democrati
 congress is beyond all praise. 0 s it we stand and on it we should wi n to the end that the national an V state governments shall be maintain
 ed in their constitutional vigor, an
 that law and order may preva
 everywhere under our flag. Br
 even if we should fail with such = platform and such candidates or W party would emerge from the col y test in splendid fighting trim for fl # ture conflicts"

Secret of Smoke
 Screens Known

London, March 10.-The secret of the smoke screens used with such great success by the British navy in the raids on Ostend and Zeebrug- gee is definitely disclosed. They were produced from an acid, which has to be burned in the presence of a sufficient amount of water vapor otl erwise, the smoke produced, even over the sea, is liable to be some what thin on dry day.
 Commander Brock, who sacrificed his life in the assault on the German defences at the Belgian ports devis. ed the plan to feed the acid ir fine spray into the funnel of de. stroyer, where the temperature was sufficient to vaporize the acid, and the water vapor present completed the formation of the cloud.

 | APPLY TO FRENCH
Ei|son's Charges Don't Af- feet That Nation, He
 Says
l RE EXECUTING THE TREATY NEARLY ALONE
kesident is Accused of Injustice to His Country by Former French High Commissioner to

Paris March lO.-Andrew Tardieu
 ho was a member of French dele
 ation in the peace conference, said
 pdav regarding President Wilson's
 tter to Senator Hitchcock:
 "French public opinion will be in
 ccord with that of the government
 hat the reproach of imperialism
 annot apply to France. It is not
 pon the peace treaty that such a
 eproach can be based. The treaty vas judged and defined by Presi-
 lent Wilson himself, in solidarity With the heads of the other govern nents, in the response addressed by Ehem on June IS, 1919, to count Von Brockdorff- -Rantzau head of the German peace delegation.
 "That was capitol document" laid M. Tardieu, who recalled that It informed the Germans that the peace proposed was Fundamentally peace of justice," and that it pro- Eided, "a basis upon which the peo- ples of Europe could live together in friendship and equity" M. Tardieu contnued.
 "Nether is it the present policy of proach of imperialism against her. Fault is found with us, it appears, for having more soldiers in our army than before the war. That is not bur fault. Our object is to diminish by all possible means our military burden.
 "But this is the situations:
 "1.--We asked that part of the lea gueAof nations create an organized hAIna force as an essential condi- fS1of disarmament in the differ IRsT countries. Our proposition was Projected three different times. President Unjust.
 "2.-The United States promised Jus their guarantees in case of -un- provoked attack as well by the treaty Iof Versailles as by the special treaty between them and us and neither of those treaties is ratified.
 .usS.-The treaty of Versailles inn 4cters certain number of common 'military duties-occupation of the left bank of the Rhine, Scheswig, Danzig, Memel, Allenstein, Marien- werder, Upper Silesia and Teschen. Excepting a few thousand Americans on the Rhine, it is French troops which everywhere bear the charge alone, or nearly alone. The treaty was to be executed by several We are executing it nearly alone.
 "4.--The negotiations in Paris had in view participation by all the allied and associated powers in the occupation of mandated territories Here again the United States dis appeared, and to protect the popula- tons against masascres in Constan- tinople, Anatolia, Armenia and Cili. cia, 1t was again France that was called upon.
 Therefore, repeat, it is unjust to accuse France of imperialism NO one in France protests against the continuance of the American navy. Our army, like the American navy is what circumstances require 1t to be, and it is not France that created those circum stances. It l. the debate going on for months ir the United States over ratification or the peace treaty created by them avery. one knows my respect fol President Wilson, but I think that il ms last letter to Senator Hitchcocl ne mad been unjust to France"
