Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,

he thought the senate would act favor
ably on bill to give a money bonus

NOT KEEPING PLEDGE.
French skeptical Because OF Discovery
Made in Germany.

Paris.-Three thousand FIVE hundred
three-inch field guns have been found
by the inter-allied commission in the
vicinity Of Berlin alone, and altogether
1900 of these guns have thus far been
discovered throughout Germany. as
well as 5000 airplanes intact. Accord
ing to the terms of the treaty of Yer
sailles the Germany army should now
have only 204 three-inch guns and no
airplanes whatsoever. These dis
coveries and other information have
caused considerable skepticism among
authorities here as for the reason
for the request Of the Berlin govern
ment that it be permitted to send
troops into the neutral and occupied
areas.
The fact that the request came be-
fore the Germans had executed any
material clause of the treaty, although
the time limit has expired on some
three score Of its provisions, is de-
clared in French official circles as lay
ing the Germans open to suspicion of
attempting to avoid the Versailles
treaty provisions.

DANES WANT REPUBLIC.
Vote In sehleswig Brings a Crisis in
Little Nation.

Copenhagen.-The public Of Den
mark is demanding establishment of a
Danish republic. King Christian was
presented with the demands by a
socialist deputation
The government crisis in Denmark
turns on disposition of the second
Schleswig zone. The retiring ministry
Of Premier Zahle considered this ques-
ton as settled in favor of Germany by
the plebiscite. However, there has
been strong agitation among oppo-
sition parties for at least the pro-
visional Observation-Disclosures of Flens-
burg and the second Schleswig zone.
These parties point out that the
Zahle ministry lacked mandate to
direct the country's policies and that
the former premier, at the last cleo
ton, promised again to appeal to the
country after war.
