Failure to Disband Effec-

lion of Treaty Terms
Compliance 90 TO 80 p. G..
Home Guards and Constabu-
larry Also Are Held To Be
Prohibited by Covenant

WASHINGTON, May 10 (By The As
sociatcd Press). Despite the absence
of American representatives on the
Inter-Allicd control commissions to
supervise the fulfllmcnt by Germany
of the disarmament clauses Of the
treaty, the United States government
is watching the situation unoficially.
The American point of view of the
extent of German compliance, which is
to form an important subject Of the
Spa conference May rs, is summarized
here as follows:
The most noteworthy instance of
compliance is the failure to re-
duce German military electives. AL
though pledged to reduce her regular
army to 100000 by April 10, 1920, and
20 100000 by July 10, the regular
army remains approximately 100000.
The state constabulary OF $4,000 to
100000, and approximately 100000
home guards, are regarded as a viola
ton of the treaty provision forbidding
any reserve or secret armed forces.
The German contention that these
forces are necessary for maintenance OF
internal order is considered as retuted
bv the failure of those forces to core
with the recent Red uprisngs. 1t is
thought probable that rehabilitation OF
many as bargain for the continued
maintenance Of a regular army of 20O,-
600 after July 10.
Co,oroI St,H "a; rt
Although in compliance v'th the
treaty the German general. staff os-
tensibly has been abolished, reports
here say the nucleus of general staff
continues to be maintained.
OF the guns and ammunition Ger
many agreed to destroy by March 10,
1920, it is estimated that up to Jan
uary 5, 1920, about one-Quarter of the
amount had been disposed of.
1t is understood the Spa conference
will decide whether the remaining. mu-
nitions shall be taken over by the
Allies or whether Germany will be
permitted to destroy them. Prohib-
ton against expectation of munitions
by Germany, it is reported here, has
been violated.
SO far as is known here secrets in
the manufacture of gas and other mu-
nitlons, which Germany agreed to dis
close to the Allies before April 10, have
not yet been divulged.
Military clauses reported as COM
pletely complied with include adoption
of new tables of organization, non
manufacture of munitions, non-impor-
tation of munitions. abolition OF uni
versal military service, and the de-
struction of Rhine Notifications.

cidental!y recalling his Guildhal1
speech, in which he had said:
If the time ever comes when the
British Empire is seriously menaced
by an external enemy, it is my opinion
that you may count upon every man
every dollar, every drop of blood of
your kindred across the sea-
81 added that. of course, Secretary
Meyer and President Taft were right in
their reprimand for the utterance, and
that he had been selected for the mis-
sion not because of that speech but in
spite of it,"
1t is recalled that Admiral Sims's
quoted speech in London was made
under circumstances that might be
considered as bearing on the sig
miral, together with 800 sailors from
sixteen United States battleships,
was the guest of the British people.
Fetes and entertainments had been
provided for them.
Will Never Be Forgiven
The committee had heard eleven of
Board, including Admiral Sims, Mr.
Daniels said, and every one except tho
author of the charges, had "tlatly de-
med their correctness or justice"
The country would never forgive
Admiral Sims for violating conf
dence and making public what he him
self had termed an "eXplicit admoni-
tion,' Secretary Daniels asserted, add
ing that the people were amazed at
the wantonness of the charges and
shocked at the idea that naval Off
Ger could be guilty of such breach
of confidence"
"The evidence has had but one effect,
and that has been feeling of regret
at the necessity of withdrawing ap-
proval from Admiral Sims and re
placing it with deep and lasting dis
APPROVAL said Mr.. Daniels. The only
man injured in public esteem by his
charges rejecting upon his brother
officers and attempting to hold their
self sacrificing and successful efforts
up to condemnation, is Admiral Sims

flagship Pennsylvania in Yorktown
Harbor, and read to-day by Secretary
Daniels before the Hale committee:
Somebody has got to think out the
way not only to fight the submarine,
but to do something different from
what we are doing
1--WE are hunting hornets all over the
farm and letting the nest alone. None

American Oil Companies in
District Stop Operations I'm.
til the Situation Is Cleared

GALVESTON, May 1O-A bloodless
revolution took place at Tampico ea.ly
last week and several Carranza gencr-
ais and their families were placed in
Jail by garrison officers who espoused
the cause of the Sonora revolutionists
according to word brought here ny
steamship men.
The garrison, according to ships Of
fcers. numbers approximately 1000
men. American oil companies operating
in the Tampico district, have stopped
operations until the situation clears.
Both Federal and rebel factions, ac-
cording to the information received
here, sought to collect taxes on the
crude Gil.
No disorders were reported anywhere
in the district, which is largely settled
with American oil field workers, but
there has been general exodus from
the outlying districts, most Of the work
ers and their families moving into Tam
pico. About four thousand Americans
it was estimated, now are in the City of
Tampico.

WASHINGTON, May 10. - Franklin
X. Lane. former Secretary Of the In
terror, and George Agnew Chamber
lain, former Consul General in Mexico,
testified TO-DAY before the Senate com
mittee investigating Mexican affairs.
Mr.. Lane declared american o ! rights
IN Mexico were as we'll founded in jus
tice and deserved as much protection
as if they had been established in Penn
sylvania or California, while Mr. Cham
berlain asserted the attitude of the
United States toward Mexico "h&5 been
one of accommodating shame for seven
years"
Mexican commercial and official life
was stained with graft from the lowest
tally clerk to the highest Cab net of
ticer," Mr.. Chamberlain said.
Referring to his resignation, Mr..
Chamberlain asserted that "a self
respecting man couldn't continue to
take the money of the United States
for hopeless, purposeless service after
he knew the things l was forced to
learn" The President he sad, "cut
the ground out from under the feet Of
every diplomatic and commercial agent
the United States had in Mexico by
repeated statements that force would
never be used in the country"
"The greatest danger now" he added,
"is that the United States will be led
to treat in some fashion with new
head of affairs IN Mexico before we are
really decided how to deal with the evils.
The proper policy is that of the Senate
in refusing to confirm the nomination
Of another am mbassador.
ave ought to follow that up. Mexico
is not in sound financial situation. We
should offer a loan sufficient to put
is finances in shape, bound up with q
treaty which would give US supervision
of its economic affairs. We should
withdraw the present recognition un-
less that was accepted. Still failing
acceptance, we should declare an en-
barge and commercial blockade; then

partment prolonged the war four

talked with many admrals Of the Brit
ish navy, and not one would subscribe
to the charge.
Admiral Sims's statement that Just
prior to sailing for London ha re-
ceived the explicit admonition Don't
let the British pull the wool over your
eyes. We would as soon fight them
as the Germans" received considera.
bic attention from the Secretary. If
the admiral considered the words as an
"eXplicit admonition" he violated three
sections of naval regulations in max
ing them public, Mr.. Daniels declared
Admiral Sims's criticism that Admiral
Benson, former chief of naval opera
tions, was anti-British was entirely
unfounded and unjust, the witness said.
There is a peculiar malady which
affects a certain type of Americans
who 60 abroad and become in many
respects un-American," said Mr.. Dan
iels. THAT malady causes them to re-
gard others, who do not lose their thor
ough going Americanism and undivldnd
allegiance, as having peculiar idosyr-
cracles. Sims genufected TO British
Admiralty ideas and accepted British
views so fully and coveted British
honors so earnestly that he came to
regard as anti-Btitish such a rugged
American as Admiral Benson, who is
AllAmcrcan,' neither pro nor anti
with reference to any other country"
Warned to Maintain Neutrality
abroad, the Secretary said:
Before he left impressed upon Ad-
mral Sims the fact that we were not
at war and that until Congress acted
the policy Of neutrality must govern

strikes and the many lesser strikes of
this year, stood the enemy's on
slaughts, rendered service of incom-
parable forth to the working masses
of the United States.
IF they had not thus stood out, if
they had been cowed by dangers that
confronted them, if they had sue
cumbed without resistance, if they had
failed to strike blow before they fell
what do you think would have hap
pened elsewhere? Do you doubt that
cowardice would have invited further
reprisals, that the conditions of labor
would have been made harder in other
places and other industries, that there
would have been numberless attempts
to reduce wages, to lengthen the
working day to crush out unionism,
to deny the right of organization. to
enforce conspiracy laws and to take
all sorts of mean advantage of work
ers who were at the mercy of their
employers?
Il tell you that those men who
think that such exactions would not
have been made by capitalists, if la
Dor had refrained from giving evidence
that it would resist them, must be
numbskulls who cannot see the signs
of the times.
Il ask you to bear it in mind, to
hold it in grateful memory, that
American labor in general has been
benefited by the action of the brave
strikers of Homestead, Buffalo, New
Orleans, who took the field in it's de-
fense and fell while battling for a
few of the items of its rights. The
labor of this country has been paid
millions of dollars this year, which
it would not have got without the
help of these striking brethren, which
they would surely have lost if they
had surrendered without a struggle,
or had fought with less pluck and
perseverance, or had failed to shiver
the treasury of the assailant.
Through them, many of you have
been saved from the risks of the
times; and how, then, can it be said
that they strove in vain? Foul is
the tongue of the workingman who
would say it while reaping the ad-
vantage that they secured to him.
