altogether too short vacation
to be received skith acclaim by
an eagerly waiting throng Of officials,
statesmen and rank and file gen.
orally. 1t would have seemed by the
way they pounced upon him that in
deed, as the poet said, absence makes
the heart grow fonder." From the en-
thusiasm of his welcome he might
we'll have wondered how the govern
ment and the country managed to get
along without him those ten days or
SO.
His desk piled high with official
papers awaiting his consideration; a
yeritable bread line of folk seeking
personal appointments with him and
statesmen with furrowed brows anx-
ious to talk about deep affairs or
public policy soon must have driven
from his mind the last lingering mem
ories of calm nights on the quarter
deck of the Mayflower and peaceful
afternoons on the golf links of the va
rious ports of call.
From the zest with which he re-
sumed his official duties it might have
been inferred that work was his mid
die name, and, after all, the king OF
sports.

AMNESTY BILL PASSESFRENCH
 DEPUTIES WITH
 APPEAL CLAUSE
Amendment to French Amnesty Bill Provides Soldier May Appeal From All Court Martial Sentences
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]


 PARIS, April 23-After the cham Der of deputies adopted unanimously today an amendment to the amnesty bill under which an appeal may be taken from any and all sentences imposed by court martials during the war upon the simple request of the soldier affected, if living. or his heirs, if dead" the general amnesty bill was passed this afternoon. The vote on the measure which embraces vir- tually all offenses against the mili- tary laws, with the exception of high treason and desertion in the face of the enemy was 52S for to 14 against.
 Mutineers in the Black sea fleet are not included and must serve their sentence.
 Adoption of the amendment came after a dramatic speech by Deputy Jade of Finistere. who commanded a company throughout the late war. He recalled that before Souan in Champagne, orders came to execute Q surprise attack in broad daylight without artillery preparation. Jade refused to send his company over the top, but he was not court martialed.
 According to the narrative of the deputy veteran. the officers of the company next in line ordered their men to attack but the latter refused to leave the trenches. saying they preferred to be shot and buried where they were rather than hang on the harbed wire for days The gen eral commanding the diyis'on then instructed the French artillery to turn its guns on the trenches where this company was stationed. The colonel commanding the artillery. M. Jade said. refused point blank, but he was not court n1artialed.
 A few days later. continued the speaker. several men of the com pany were tried and shot, although a short time previously they had volunteered for dangerous and haz- ardous missions.

Plans Complete To Carry Peace
 Resolution By
 One Party Vote
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Plans of Republican congressional leaders for effecting a peace by congressional resolution were completed at an in formal conference.
 The Knox resolution to that end probably will be reported to the sen ate Monday by the foreign relations committee as revised in technical le- gal details by Senator Knox of Penn sylvania. Debating in the senate then will begin Tuesday or Wednesday and will, 1t is believed, be compara- lively short. There is a possibility of a slight hitch, according to Demo- cratic senators. in delay by the for eign relations committee.
 As a matter of general party policy. most of the senate Democrats are ex- pected to oppose the Knox resolu ton, but Republican leaders expect a number of Democratic votes.
 A peace resolution similar to the Knox measure is to be introduced in the house Monday by Chairman Por- ter. of tsse foreign affairs committee. Republican leaders, however. were said today to have agreed that the senate resolution would be awaited before any action should be taken in the house. The Knox and Porter res olutions, it was indicated. will be con- sidered concurrently in the house.

Greut Britain Ready To Force Germany To
 Pay Preparation Debf
GEORGE AGREES THAT FAILURE BY GERMAN GOVERNMENT TO PAY OBLIGATIONS WILL BE MET WITH FURTHER PRESSURE
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

LYMPNE, England, April 23-It is Great Britain's intention to abide by. the provisions of the agreement ar rived at in Paris last January with regard to what steps should be taken to coerce Germany into meeting her separations debt; she agrees that failure by Germany to meet her obli- gations in this respect should be met with further pressure.
 This became known in the course of today's meeting between Premiers Briand and Lloyd George. who came here to confer on the situation aris- ing from Germany's stand on the rep arations questions and what is to be done if she continues her recalcit- rant attitude.
 NJ Briand, at his own request, ex- plained to the British premier at a conference which occupied the best part of this afternoon and evening, the French proposals for setting np an economic ton in part of Westphalia. including the Ruhr coal basin, should the Germans fail to pay the reparations due May l. The proceeds of this administration such as taxation on coal exports and excess profits duties levied on German industrial establishments, would, under the French plan, be placed in a pool out of which the separations would be paid to the all lies.
 Although Mir. Lloyd George doubt less was aware of the general char acter of the French plans from the communications exchanged between the British and French foreign of 1T ID -sa Y, -fe-17 to explain personally some of the important features affecting the gen. eral policy of the allies in order to attain complete unity of purpose
 Today's conversations, therefore, began with a rather expanded expo sition of the French scheme by NJ Briand and Philippe Berthelot, of the French foreign office, with Mir. Lloyd George interrogating him.
 The conversations were held in the black and gold room of the residence of Sir Philippe Sassoon. There was no table in front of the conferees. who lounged in arm chairs. Those pres ent in addition to the principals were M Kammerer, the official repository of many French state secrets; ard Sir Maurice Hankey, secretary to the committee on imperial defense; Sir Philip Kerr. Robert G. Van Sit tart and NJ. Sylvester. the latter four assisting MT Lloyd George.
 During the afternoon word reached Lyrnpne from Berlin that the Ger man cabinet was discussing fresh proposals which, it was reported, might reach here before the confer ence breaks up Monday and M Bsi- and returns to Paris ST. Jasper. the Belgian foreign minister. will visit London Tuesday to discuss the rep arations matter with MT. Lloyd George

 WASHINGTON, April 23. - Germsny's new note to the United States on the reparations ques- ton had not arrived in Wash ington tonight, although press dispatches from Berlin said it was dispatched during the day.
 Officials at the state depart ment prior to receipt of the Ger man note refused generally to- day to discuss the reparations question.
 One thing appeared certain, however, in connection with the reparations question so far as concerns Washington. That was that should reply be considered necessary to the new German note the nature of the reply would be laid before the diplo- matic representatives of the all lied governments before its dis patch.

SENATE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS MAJOR GENERAL EDWARDS
lRepubIlcan A. p. Leased wirel

L
 WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Despite some democratic objection to Briga- dier General Clarence R. Edwards, the senate's military committee to- day voted to recommend confirmation of the twelve major generals and fourteen brigadier generals recently nominated by President Harding for promotion
 General Edwards. who commanded the Twenty sixth, New England, di vision overseas, until relieved by General Pershing and returned home, was the only nominee on the list under fire. The conAnittee vote on his name today was reported to have been 12 to 3. with the democrats op posing and three others voting for his confirmation. Those said to have opposed General Edwards included Senators Hitchcock, Nebraska, and McKeilar, Tennessee. Senators Rob- inson of Arkansas and Myers of Mon tana, democrats, were reported to have joined the republican committee members in supporting him. Senators Sheppard of Texas and Fletcher of Florida, the other democrats on the committee, declined to indicate their action.
 CtillONl OppOllCHl5 Ol 1NtiCl di Edwards. whose name headed the list of nominees for major general. inti- mated they would carry their fight to the senate floor No filibuster, it was said, would be waged. but a rec ord vote, at least, it was declared, would be demanded. Republicans predicted that the entire list of gen. eral officers would be ratified promptly by the senate, thereby pay ing the way for a dozen more promo tions to the rank of brigadier. many other promotions down through the whole service, and for selection of a chief of staff
 Members of the senate committee expressed the belief that General Ed wards would not be chosen chief of staff, after today's meeting at which Secretary Weeks was called in again today for further discussion of Gen eral Edwards record. Major General Harboard, according to opinion of prominent republican senators. will be selected chief of staff to succeed Major General Peyton c. March.
 Asked as to the failure to include Colonels George V. H. Moseley and Hugh Drum in the list for promotion to the rank of brigadier general, Sec retary Weeks was said to have told the committee that their age was the entire compelling reason. Neither has had barely more than 9 years service, the minimum limit fixed in the recent army reorganization law for promotion to brigadier. Other older officers of much longer service might be barred from ever advanc- ing to the rank of brigadier. Secretary Weeks was said to have declared, If Colonels Moseley and Drum were pro- noted immediately. Their promotion at an early date in any event is as sured, Secretary Weeks is understood to have declared
