Wilson Declared
Unjust to france
Andre Tardieu Replies
Sharply to Presidents
Charge of Imperialism.

PARIS, March 10.--Andre Tardieu,
who was a member of Frances delega-
tion in the peace conference, said to-
day regarding President Wilson's letter
to Senator Hitchcock:
French public opinion will he in
accord with that of the government
that the reproach of Imperialism can
not apply to France. 1t is not upon
the peace treaty that such reproach
can be based. The treaty was judged
and defined by President Wilson him
self, in solidarity with the heads of
the other governments. j.: the response
addressed by them June 16, 1919, to
Count Won Brockdortf -Rantzau, head of
the German peace delegation"
That was capital document" said
u. Tardieu. who recalled that it in
formed the Germans that the peace pro-
posed was Fundamentally a peace of
justice" and that it provided "a basis
upon which the peoples of Europe could
live together in friendship and equity"
NJ. Tardieu continues:
Neither is it on the present policy
OF France that one can base the re-
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 our fauls.
Our object is to diminish by ali posi-
Bile means oNr military burden.
But this is the situation:
"First-We asked that part Of the
league of nations create an organized
armed force as an essential condition
of disarmament in the different coun-
tries. Our proposition was rejected
three different times.
"Second-The United States promised
US their guarantee in case OF unpro-
voked attack. by the Treaty of Yer
sallles as well as by the special treaty
between them and us, and neither of
those treaties is ratified.
"Third-The Treaty Of Versailles i'm
posed upon the Allied and associated
powers certain number Of common
.tl-lsary duties es-occupation of the left
bar bank Of the Rhine, slesvig. Danzig,
Memel, Allenstein, Marienwerder. Up
per Silesia and Teschen. Excepting a
few thousand Americans on the Rhine,
1t is French troops which everywhere
bear that charge alone, or nearly alone
Inc treaty was to be executed by sew
eral. We are executing it nearly alone.
"fourth-The negotiations in Paris
had in view participation by all the
Allied and associated powers in the oc-
cupation of inundated territories. Here,
again, the United States Disappeared
and to protect the populations against
massacres in Constantinople, Anatolia,
Armenia and Cilicia it was again
France that was called upon.
"Iherefore, ! repeat, it is unjust to
accuse us of imperialism. No one in
France protests against the continual
increase of the American navy. Our
army, like the American navy, is what
circumstance require it to be, and it
IS not France that created those cir
clmstances. 1t is the debate going on
Tor months in the United States over
ratification Of the peace treaty that
created them. Every one knows my re-
spect for President Wilson, but think
that in his last letter to Senator Hitch
cock he has been unjust to France"

Urge Strike to

To Take Mines
National Conference of

LONDON, March 1O.--British miners
decided to-day by majority Of 200,-
600 in favor Of direct as opposed to po-
litical action should the government
refuse to nationalize the mines. A gem
eral srike to enforce the point is now
held as club over the government.
AS n result Of this decision a lively
struggle is forecast for tomorrow,
when the Trades Union Congress re-
convenes, between those supporting the
general strike and advocates of political
action as means Of bringing about
naturalization. The congress will de-
termine upon course to pursue to
bring about compliance with it's de-
cision at Glasgow in September "to
compel the government" to adopt ma
tionalization.
British labor has come to the cross
roads Of it's political path. 1t must de-
eide whether it desires to follow the
road marked "evolution," or turn to the
left along revolution" Few expect
the latter course will be followed.
Labor has gained such political pow
er that it has aroused the antagonism
of Premier Lloyd George and Mr.. As
quith.
Asquith Offers Labor Aid
Political labor leaders have lost some
of the confidence they had three
months ago when they prophesied big
labor victory in the next general cleo
ton, but the party is still so strong
that Mr.. Asquith considers it neces-
sary to appeal to young Britons to
adopt the Liberal faith, which, he says,

Put Treaty Responsibility
Up to Wilson, Taft Adrises

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
PITTSBURGH, March 1O.-Former
President William H. Taft, who was in
Pittsburgh for two hours to-day while
waiting between trains, told newspaper
men he was much disappointed at the
treaty situation.
~ hope the Democratic Senators will
not allow the Presidents letter to Sem
ator Hitchcock to influence them," he
said, "and that the will consider
whether it is not wise Tor them to put
the responsibility where it belongs. If
the President chooses to reject the
treaty after ratification, let him do it.
1t is hard to conceive of his delberate-
ly destroying his own work just be-
cause it isn't as we'll rounded as he
thinks it ought to be-"

the sixtyfour necessary for ratifica
ton

TIE sixty-four necessary for ratifica-
ton.
"The Democratic Senator's are be-
ginning to hear from their constitu-
ents," said one of the boilers after the
conference. 'Taey have been held IN
line by the President against their own
convictions for many months, but the
election IS too near, and the demand to
get the treaty out of the way is prov
ing too strong now. We do not wish to
go against the President, but the de-
mand is to get the treaty out of the
way. We want TO put it behind us, and
are willing to vote any way in order to
dispose of it. You will find that every
Western and Northern Democrat who
is up for reelection viii vote for rati-
iication on any basis"
To Garry Fight to San Francisco
The Democratic revolters are plan
ming to carry ,he fight into the San
Francisco convention if the treaty fails
OF rat!lcatloh to prevent the Presi
dent from forcing the convention to
adopt plank in the platform demand
ing ratification without the dotting Of
an "i' or the crossing OF It," Sew
eral Democratic Senators after the
conference said they believed such a
declaration would be suicidal.
While the Democrats were planning
their course the Republicans conferred
among themselves and decided that the
compromise reservation to Article x
they submitted to the Democrats yes
terday was open to the construction
tnar it admitted the obligation under
Article X that the Republicans want
10 destroy.
Senators Knox, Colt, Dillingham; and
other attorneys among the Republican
Senators studied the published draft
of the compromise offer and informed
their colleagues that the reservation
fully recognized the moral obligation
under Article x and simply provided a
way to meet the obligation in certain
specific cases.
Senator Watson. of Indiana, who sub
mitted the reservation to the Demo-
Gratis on behalf OF the Republicans
went to Senator Simmons then and
withdrew it,
Meetings of Republicans
Meetings of Republicans were con-
tinued throughout the afternoon and
evening in an effort to write a new
. compromise reservation that would de-
stgoy all obligation under Article X,
and at the same time change the word
ing of The Lodge reservation so that
the Democrats might support it.
Later in the day Senator Watson was
asked to reopen negotiations with the
Democrats. but this he declined to do
lie informed the Republican leaders
that he had obtained the promised sup
port of twenty eight Democrats for the
compromise that was proposed yester-
day and that he did not believe the
same number would support drastic
substitute for it.
The Republican "mild reservation
lists" also conferred during the day
and decided that they viii introduce
some form of compromise reserva-
tion themselves before they abandon
all efforts to obtain ratification.
The Senate will kill time on the
treaty until the Republicans finally
agree upon a program. Discussion of
Article y Will continue tomorrow.

British Papers Fail
10 Comment on Wilson
Letter to Hitchcock

LONDON, March 10.--The British
newspapers with one accord avoided
editorial comment to-day on President
WILSON'S letter to the Democratic
feader in the United States Senate, Sem
aator q, NJ. Hitchcock, although all give
it great promise in their news columns
All of President Wilson'S previous
utterances have been widely commented
upon, and the present editorial silenc.
IS so striking that rumors have cropped
up that it is inspired by influential
quarters, who do not wish editorializing
on delicate subject before there has
been ample time to reach a reasoned
and tempered conclusion.

ing to the newspaper.
At meeting to-day Of the Irish
Unionist Alliance a resolution was
passed "reaffirming the determination
Of the southern Unionists to oppose
Home Rule by every means in their
power"
The mail train from Kilrush to En-
mis- was held up to-day by armed
masked men and the mail seized.
BELFAST, March 10.-sir Edward
Carson. the Ulster Unionist leader, in
a speech to-day, said that if the pres
ont Home Rule bill passed Ulster won.
They would be lucky, he added, in get
ting without fighting what they had
covenanted to fight for.
If the bill had included the whole Of
Ulster, said Sir Edward, they would
have had to oppose it tooth and nail;
then, if it were rejected, the 1914 act
would come into force, and they would
have Home Rule Parliament in Dub
lin.

and Norway. The democratic major

treaty as giving member of the
league full right to abolish it's army
and navy.
Lord Robert Cecil, the British rep
resentative of the league, in reply to an
inquiry by the president of the Nor
wegian Storthing, says: II have no
doubt that your reading Of Article VIII
Of the treaty is right. Undoubtedly it
was never meant to put on any mem
Der of the league the burden and duty

Germans Kill
French Officer
Near Potsdan
Member of Aviation Conn
mission Slain When He
Refuses to Halt ON Being
Accused of Poaching
Premier Scores Attacks
Commander at Bremen II
Warns Allied Officers Not
to Wear Decorations

BERLIN, March 10.-A member Of a
French aviation commission was killed
at Wernitz. near Potsdam. to-day when
he, with three others, refused to sur
render on being accused Of poaching.
AS the result of repeated antiAllied
demonstrations, Premier Bauer issued
government proclamation condemn
ing attacks on Entente missions and
threatening severe punishment of Of
tenders. The commander of the
Bremen garrison issued warning to
Allied officers not to- appear in public
in uniform with decorations in an eff
fort to prevent further outbreaks
there.
An attack on a military mission at
Breslau was reported, but in this case
Intervention by the pvllce prevented
fatalities. In Wernitz eight men, said
to be members of q French aviation
commission, were attacked when they
arrived in motor car. Ordered to
surrender on being accused Of poach-
ing, four obeyed, but the others fed.
One was fatally shot.
Prince Joachim Albrecht Of Prussia,
cousin of the former emperor, who was
arrested after the disturbance in the
Hotel Adlon Saturday might, gained
point at the preliminary inquiry to-
day when the magistrate refused the
public prosecutors application for re-
mand of the prince in custody, saying
he considered that prima facie case
had not been made out. The prince
was detained in the Moabit prison, how
ever. and it is believed charge will be
preferred against him in few days.
Premier Bauer's proclamation de-
clares that the minister of defense
will act with the greatest severity in
Furnishing eXcesses.
Condemns Rowdy Patriotism
The proclamation warns against
"this decentralization Of public life,
which has nothing to do with patriot
ism and only leads to the serious in
jury of the fatherland" 1t calls on
every German to bear himself with
dignity and reserve toward members
OF foreign missions, as any other atti-
tude may lead to serious complications.
After threatening punishment against
military excesses the proclamation de-
ciares that the government will not
hesitate to puish civil offenders, and is
not disposed to let its policy be
thwarted by "rowdy patriotism, which
pursues its wretched and dangerous
game at the expense of the entire ma
ton"
"The only consequences of things
like these we have experienced the last
few days" it adds, "wil be that the
few voices abroad, which have gradu-
ally been making themselves heard in
behalf Of our distress and our rights,
Will become silent again.

where a bountiful dinner was spread.
Mrs. Barnes was raised in Missouri and
she surely showed us" that she knew
the art of cooking As we gazed at the
loaded table the thought came to us that
we in this country are certainly blesl
when we read of those who are starving
10 other lands. 1t was the first time in
many years that MIR, Turner has had all
his family with him,
In talking Of "other Christmas days
Mrs. Barnes said there were always so
many little ones now they are grown
we thought of those who are gone never
to return and we missed their sweet
faces and kindly greetings
Music was rendered by Misses Bertha

sun began to sink in the west, goodbye
was said and all went home saying that
they had spent most delightful Christ
mas Day.

HARVEY FOREST NOTES.

A trapper is expected within the near
future to undertake the work Of catch
ing the wolves in the Elk Mountain dis
trict He will also incidentally catch as
many coyotes as possible.
Mr. b. +. Leete, who resigned from
the Forest Service last July to accept a
position with Pennington county, spent
most of last week in Custer renewing
old acQuaintanCes. He has recently re-
signed from the position Of Assista mt
Road Surveyor to accept position as
Assistant Professor Of Biology in the
School of Mines
Ranger Fox has moved TO the Triangle
Station, where with Ranger Oliver he
will be engaged on timber sales.
The fuel situation has been very much
relieved and a number Of wood contrac
tors who had purchased government
timber for wood are taking their men OFF
the timber
The timber sales have greatly increas-
ed during the past few months. The
present demand for lumber and other
forest products is encouraging great
many in the handling ofthese materials.
Since July /, 1919, the Harney National
| Forest has sold timber to the value OF
| S43, ,OO0 This has, of course not all
| been cut, but the records indicate the
value Of the timber cut to be $4,000.

LIBERAL INCREASE IN
Al HNN IhGTTg

Washington, d. C., Dec %. Without
a dissenting vote, the Senate passed the
Sweet bill making liberal increases in
the compensation features Of the war
risk insurance act, and correcting a
number of flaws in the original law.
This measure had the enthusiastic back.
ing Of the American Legion and other
soldier and sailor organizations, and its
passage assures an increase Of approx
mately $50, 900, 900 in the total compensa-
ton to be paid next year to disabled
service men and their dependents.
The outstanding feature Of the Sweet
bill is the liberal allowance made for
those who were totally disabled. Under
the original war risk insurance act the
total disability allowance was thirty dol
lars per month Under the new law,
this will be increased to eighty dollars
per mouth, with substantial allowances
for the disabled mans dependents. II
the man has wife, his total allowance
will be ninety dollars per month If he
has a wife aud child the allowance will
be ninety dollars, or if he has a wife
and two or more children, the compen-
sation will be 500 per month. The dis
abled man who has dependent parents.
will receive au additional $40 per month
for each dependent.
1t is estimated that the $l4,5OO, 900
will be required to pay the retroactive
provisions of the bill, which clear up
thousands Of cases of compensation and
insurance which have been held up by
the technical rulings of the Govern
ment
