Altitude of Allied Conference Toward
 Germany Changing


 LONDON. March "A noteworthy phase of the present meeting Of the peace conference is the changed attl- tude toward Germany. In high diplo- rnatic circles 1t is asserted that the conference has come to recognize that Germany ruined would mean a weak spot, and a dangerous spot, in Europe How to set Germany on her feet is one of the largest questions the conference is now considering It is considered probable that it will sanction an in ternatfonaf loan to Germany, but the question of security is a basic one.
 It is expected that a plan will be arranged which will offer inducements to the rich smaller neutral countries to subscribe to a loan.
 The question of finally fixing Ger many's war indemnity at a specific sum also is being discussed. The be- lief is expressed that the German gov ernment can organize its finances and industries more efficiently if the Ger man people know exactly what are their obligations and what they are to be called upon to pay.
 The question most agitating the Italians and the Jugo- -Slavs still is what President Wilson's attitude will be toward the proposition of direct settlement between them of their ter ritorial claims.

Settle m ent of Adriatic Questions as Proposed in That Agreement Were Satisfactory, Says Reply to French-British Uulti- matum of January IA
WAS SHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Strict adherence to the American, French and British agreement of December g on the Adriatic question characterized the reply of January 20 of the Jugo- Slav government to the French and British "ultimatum" of January A. The Jugo-Slav note, which was made public today by the state department, raises many of the same objections as set forth in President Wilson's the overturning of the previously agreed solution of the vexatious prob lem.
 The single insistent difference which distinguishes the point of view of the Jugo- Slav reply from that of the agreement signed by Secretary Polk on behalf of the United States, De- cember 9, is over the cession to Italy of the island of Liassa, which, accord ing to the Jugo-Slav note, ''is purely Slav and from an economic point of view indissolubly united with Dal- matia.''
 Contend for "Milson Line"
 Concerning the readjustment of the Wilson line" as proposed in the French and British proposals, the note declares such an "unjustifiable an- nexation of purely Jugo- -Slav terri tories would bring about a new and fragrant violation of the principles of
 
 create a permanent hot bed of ire dentism within the frontiers of Italy of a nature precisely analogous to that which was held as a justification of the claims of Italia irridentia, in which it's return to the mother cOun- try was demanded"
 The extraordinary complexities, which the aScription of the territory between the coast and the Plume rail- road line would create, according to President Wilson's memorandup, were likewise objected to on account of 'unsurmountable obstacles in the Jugo- Slav note.
 While accepting the independence of Plume and Zara, the Jugo-S Slav gov ernment records it's vigorous objection to the separation of the diplomatic representatives of the cities from the control of the league of nations. As in the Wilson memorandum, it is argued that such course paves the way for rebellion and annexation.
 Fears Commercial Ruin of Zara
 The Jugo-Slavs emphasize the inn minent consequence of commercial ruin which must ensue with the sep aration of Zara from it's administra- tive association with Dalmatia and for this reason the right to- transfer the Credit Foncier Bank of Dalmatia from Zara is requested as we,s as all mat ters pertaining to the provincial ad- ministration now lodged in the city.
 The solution of the Albania proviso, the Jugo -Slav government suggests, would be best followed by a continu- ance of status established by the con- ference of ambassadors in London in 1913 which was for a local autonomous government without outside interfer- ence.
 The question of the division of the Austro- Hungarian war and commer- cial fleets, the note declared to be a part of the Adriatic problem and a settlement on this point is demanded.

NEW AMBASSADOR IS REAL BUSINESS MAN, ], SAYS CORRESPONDENT

LONDON, March By the Associ- ated Press)-Sir Auckland Geddes will be the first British ambassador to go to the United States with consider able knowledge of trade affairs and a strong conviction of their underlying importance to the two countries in the postwar era- Lord Reading, as ann bassador, had business experience. but his mission was concerned largely with war finance.
 Sir Auckland Geddes as president of the board of trade, has partial su- pervision of the consular service while dealings also with the most important business questions of the Kingdom. He brings to his new office none of the prejudices of the old school European diplomats, who considered high poli- tics their sphere, and trade almost be- heath their dignity.
 While the ambassador declines to give interviews. he speaks freely of his impression that the chief possibility of friction or i'll feeling between the peo- pies of the two countries in the near future lies in the inevitable business rivalry between the two because of their paramount position at the pres ent resources for trading equal, if they do not exceed, the resources of all the rest of the world This position he considers one which need not cause misunderstanding if the two peoples have good will to try each to put itself in the others place.

SENATORS CLEAR
 WAY FUR FINAL DEADLOCK
Pass Two More Republican Reservations and Get Ready For Final Seige on Article X Reservation Which Is Expected to Put Pact in Campaigns
TRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, March 2. - Two more of the republican reservations to the peace treaty, one of them affect ing the bitterly debated Monroe doc Urine provision, were readopted in the senate today without change and by greater majorities than they com manded when originally presented last November.
 The Monroe doctrine reservation which senators have been told is scarcely less objectionable to President Wilson than that relating to article 10, got the support of 15 democrats and won by vote of 5S to g after a sub stitute drafted by the democratic lead CTS had been rejected. The vate on the republican proposal was 5 to 34 in No- vember, when only nine democrats sup ported it.
 Expect Final Deadlock Soon
 The other reservation acted on as serts the full Jurisdiction of the United States over purely domestic questions and was adopted 56 to 9, with IA dem ucrats helping te make up the majority In November it got the votes of only II democrats and was adopted 59 to 36.
 Little debate attended the senates action, all clements apparently con- ceding that the successive roll calls one go on record once more before the final deadlock, which now generally is expected to put the treaty over the campaign.
 On the Monroe doctrine reservation, several democrats who did not vote for adoption in November swung over to the republicans on today's roll call They were Senators Beckham, Ken lucky: Fletcher, Florida: Pittman and Henderson. Nevada: King, Utah; Smith, Georgia, and Meyers. Montana Their defection on that issue was de- clared by the republicans to be a sig nigicant development in view of recent intimations reaching democratic sen- ators that the president had singled out the Monroe doctrine and article 10 reservations as particularly objec- tionable
 Vote Down Hitchcock Substitute
 On the democratic substitute, pre- sented today by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the party leader, the vote was strictly on party lines except for Senators Reed. Missouri. and Shields, Tennessee, who voted with the repub- licans in opposition.
 The domestic question reservation drew over to it's support five democrats who had not voted for it in November, Senators Ashurst. Arizona; Pittsman and Henderson. Nevada; Myers, Mon tana and Nugent. Idaho. On this prop osition also. Senator Hitchcock's sub- stitute which was rejected by solid republican lineup, was joined again by Senators Reed and Shields.
 Tomorrow the senate is to consider the Shantung reservation with the leaders hopeful that vote may be taken promptly.

Urges Elimination Of The Big Packers
 From Meat Industry

WASHINGTON, March 2.-vir- tuaI elimination of the big packers from the meat industry and sub stitution of small, local and CO., operative stockyards and slaughter houses was suggested by Ed C. Lassater of Texas, representing livestock growing organizations, before the house agriculture com mittee. The packing business now is uneconomicaI, Mr. lassater as serted, causing injury both to live stock producers and consumers. Transportation of cattle to the packing centers and return ship ment of meat to consumers in- wolves an economic loss, he said.
 Lassater also urged separation of large stockyards from packer control. The yards, he said, should not be owned by a holding com pany but by the railroads as a transportation adjunct. lndepend- ent stockyards and sIaughtering plants can not be developed, Mir. Lassater said, so long as congress permits the large packers to have such a preponderant share of busi- ness,

EX-SERv|CE MEN
 PRESENT CLAIMS FOR FEDERAL AID
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 2--Repre- sentatives of the American legion today before the house ways and means com mittee at it's initial public hearing on a mass of bills designed to help former service men, strongly objected to char acterization of soldier rel1ef leglSlatloii as a government bonus.
 Extra back pay, based on length or service for men not desiring land set clement aid, home building or voca- tional training, was advocated by Franklin D'Olier, national commander of the legion, who declared that three million men, with the tumult of war still ringing in their ears, firmly be- HeEed the government owed an obllga- tion to all who came out of the con- flict handicapped bodily and finan- cially.
 Hearing Ends In Confusion
 There was a flare up at the outset. Charges made on the floor of the house that the soldier bills had been sent to the committee for burial until after the November election. were mentioned and sharply denied. The wrangle got so general that the hearing ended in confusion, the committee later agreeing to an executive session to listen to the three hundred or more witnesses, start ing tomorrow, If it took two months"

 It was brought out during examina- ton of Miller that the legion wanted assistance for everybody in the ser vice, the witness suggesting that relief might be handled like the sixty dollar bonus which went automatically to all enlisted men, and fo officers request ing it.
 Scores Bureau Inspector
 Chairman Fordney, referring to Mil ler's statement that the legion did not want soldier relief administered "as the war risk insurance bureau adminis- tered it." denounced the action of an inspector of that bureau who refused aid in the case of a lawyer soldier. both of whose legs were broken and who was otherwise injured. Finding that the applicant was a lawyer, the inspector, according to information presented to the chairman, declared he did not deserve help or sympathy as a man in h1s condition going before a jury could win every case he pleaded. .'

Charges Leading Opponents With Expending Large Sums of Money in Behalf of Candidates Touches on High Living Costs and League of Nations
Republican A. p. Leased wirel


 MITCHELL, N. D., March 2.-Sen- Rtor Hiram w. Johnson of California today opened fire upon his leading op- ponentS for the republican nomination for the presidency, charging that the expenditure of money in the South Da- sota primary is such has seldom been seen in any campaign in any state.
 ''It is obvious" said the senator that this state has become a tremen- nous battle ground of the wealth and power and financial resources of my two leading opponents
 Says He Fights Alone
 Seldom in any state has such an eNtravagant expenditure of money in a primary campaign been seen I can not compete with them in this kind or contest It may be their good for tune and my misfortune that they can eXpend in all directions enormous sums of money and that I can not. I have back Of me no great corporation, no trust, no powerful financial interests. In this commonwealth I am pitting whatever of ability, of courage, of energy and of character God has given men against the wealth, the influence and the power of organized politics and organized big business in politics. l am depending here, as ever in my po- htical contests, upon the home loving, God fearing, free patriotic citizenship, the inarticulate mass who make this country great and insure it's future destiny"
 In discussing the problems of the high cost of living, for which. he de- clared, no man has discovered a pan acea- Senator Johnson denounced the profiteer as traitor.
 T can not cure the high cost of living he said. ''You can not cure it But we can run the scale scien- tlflcally from the original producer 10 the ultimate consumer, and when we ascertain where the profiteering is we will take the profiteer and treat him as the traitor he is, and punish him as he ought to be punished. Per haps then we can stop something of the high cost of living"
 Gives Treaty Views
 The senator said it was impossible 10 bury the American flag and make the American people walk over it's grave without its becoming an issue in the American campaign
 T do not care what politicians may assert" he continued, the issue here the American people until they them selves decide it. Why should not American men and women decide whether the American youth shall po lice the world or fight for boundary lines in Europe and Asia? Who else shall decided when our blood is to be devoted to quarrels not our own?"
 The senator said he had no apologies to make for talking about the league of nations
 The difficulty is that some of our friends are willing that Europe shall decide this issue, while we insist that America must decide it." he asserted.
 He said that he would go to any length to prevent war, and that he favored an international forum to fix international opinion, but that he would never subscribe to past which binds American boys to go to the four corners of the globe to settle foreign disputes.
