CHAPTER XVI.
The Treaty Of Protection Proposed

This was on March 10. On the
morning of the 14th President Wilson
arrives in Paris. After an interview
with Mr.. Lloyd George, he meets the
same afternoon Mr. Clemenceau and the
British prime minister at private
talk Of two hours, without secretary
Or interpreter at the Hotel de Grill
Ion. NJ. Clemenceau explains once
more the French proposals. He tells
and tomorrow. Alone against Ger
many, invaded and bleeding. we ask
not for territory, but for guarantees.
Those offered to us-disarmament, de-
miitarization, League of Nations-are
inadequate in their present form. Oe-
cupation is indispensable. 1t is essen
tial that the left bank be closed to
the political and military schemes of
Germany. Its independence is at once
the condition and the consequence of
the foregoing.
At first the same objections are
made to the same arguments. But to
the great Frenchman who holds his
ground and sticks to his original de-
mands, an entirely different and most
capital proposal is soon made.

will assure US in peace the same unity

The first is that French govern

RAILROAD LABOR BOARD
&& is NOT READY TO ACT

Chicago. Nov. 1O.-If the application
for reduction in the wages of train
and yard service employees on eastern
roads is placed before the United States
railroad labor board, it probably would
not be considered for some time. it was
indicated at the boards offices when
members were informed by the Asso-
ciated Press of the intention of sucll
roads to seek 10 per cent reduction.
The boards decision not to consider
further reductions in pay for any class
of employees until disputes involving
working rules and arrangements for
that class have been settled, will be
followed, board members said, and as
serted there were 40 or so such cases
pending for train and yard service
men.
Before the case comes to the labor
board, however, conferences on the
proposed step must first be held with
the employees, it was pointed out

Washington, Nov. f0.-(By The
Associated Press.)-A river of
humanity, American men, women
and children, Americans by heri-
tage, Americans by election, flow
ed all day and far into the night
past the bier of the unknown dead
soldier, under the great dome of
the capitol. 1t flowed as the life
blood of the nation itseif-a slow
but overwhelming torrent of human
documents gathered to attest the
valor of Americas dead In France.
From early day, until long after
darkness had shrouded the city,
the great stream surged up the
eastern front of the r0tunda, four
abreast, up the granite stairway,
in through the huge doorway to
pass soIemnIy, reverently, ~by the
casket and its five guards, notion
less as the statues of Lincoln and
Grant at the far doorway which
looked down on the moving spec

in the city below. Each hour saw
thousands make their slow journey
OF honor to the dead. Each hour
saw new thousands pouring up the
wide driveways that circle the
great building to replenish the Iiy-
Ing stream.
That was the overshadowina
element in the cycle of honors
heaped upon this nameIess soldier,
this son of the people come home
to claim the great reward his
valiant deeds had earned. And II
was his own people, of every nook
of the nation, that silently gave

Lloyd, Millionaire
Red, and 19 Aids
Denied New Trial
Illinois Court Overrules Plea
of Convicted Seditionists:
Rose Pastor Stokes Case
Is Ordered Dropped

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Motions for q
new trial for William Bross Llovd
millionaire sergeant-at-arms of the
Communist Labor party, and nineteen
associates. convicted with him Of vio-
iating the Illinois anti-sedition law,
were overruled in the Cook County
Criminal Court to-day.
Attorneys for Lloyd forestalled i'm
mediate surrender of their clients by
entering motion for arrest of judg-
ment. Arguments on this were set for
January 20.
Cases against eighty-six members of
the Communist party and thirty-eight
members of the Industrial Workers of
the World, based on indictments re-
turned by the same grand jury which
indicted Lloyd and his associates, were
stricken from the docket, but with leave
to reinstate.
Among the cases stricken off were
those of Rose Pastor Stokes, Of New
York, and John Reed. Reed left the
country as a stowaway and was report
ed to have died in Russia.
Many Indicted Already Convicted 3.
Lloyd Heth, Assistant States Attor-
ney, explained this action by saying
that in the I. w. w. cases most Of the
men indicted had been convicted on
Federal charges before Judge Lands.
Most of the I. w. w. defendants are
in the Federal penitentiary or on their
way there" said Mr.. Heth.
In the matter of the Communist
party, two of it's leaders, Isaac Fergu-
son, an attorney, and Charles Ruthen-
berg, were recently convicted in New
York and are now in Sing Sing.
Also great number of the persons
indicted with Ferguson have either
been deported or have disappeared"
In denying new trials for Lloyd and
his associates, Judge Oscar Hebel
quoted from the "Left Wing mani
festo" adopted by the party in New
York and from the platform adopted at
Chicago. to show that the organization
did not believe in the ballot.
Lenine and Trotzky Signers
A manifesto, signed among others
bny Lenine and Trotzky, and adopted by
the Communist Labor party, was
quoted in Judge Hebel's decisiorf.
World capitalism prepares itself for
the final BATTLE" the manifesto said
Under cover of the League of Nations
and deluge Of pacifst phrase monger
ing, a desperate effort is being made
to pull together the tumblins capitalist
system and to direct it's forces against
the constantly growing proletarian re-
volt. This monstrous new conspiracy
/. must be met by the proletariat
by seizure of the political power of the
state using it as lever to set
in motion the economic revolution"
Commenting on this statement, Judge
Hebel said; ut is clear that the plan,
purpose and means advocated in the
documents so far discussed by the
court are in violation of the statute
row under consideration"
Judge Hebel also cited evidence which
he said tended to show that the defend
ants were involved in the Seattle strike,
in which several lives were lost.
