LONDON, Dec. 4.-Georges Glen.
enceau's certified list of war material
found concealed in Germany comes
at a time when the relations of the
Interallied Military Control Commits
sion and the German government are
reaching critical phase. In the last
four months, three separate incidents
have been reported of obstruction,
even violence offered to the allied
commissioners while carrying out
their search for arms under the Yer,
sailles treaty.
For the first incident which occurred
at stettin in July, Germany has
offered an apology, but the other day,
on top of the attack at Passau in
October, for which no redress has so
far been received, came the news of
a further attack at Ingolstadt in
Bavaria, which is also likely to be a
matter for diplomatic representations

Record Sees No
Third Party at
Present Time

Former Progressive Under Theodore
Roosevelt and Recently a Repub-
ucan Candidate for the Senatorial
Nomination in New Jersey.
JERSEY CITY, y. J., Dec. Am
my Judgment it IS not feasible at the
present time to put in the field a new
political party with any hope of sue
cess or Of effectlng any considerable
following.
The reason for this lies in the con.
fused condition Of the public mind
There is widespread discomfort
throughout the country, but there is
no consensus of opinion anywhere as
to what IS the trouble or as to the
best and most practical method of i'm
proving conditions.
Various remedies are put forward
by different groups Of people. But
when representatives of these groups
gather in conference they are unable
to agree upon any one or two para
mount issues or measures.
1t IS impossible TO educate the pub
lie upon any large number Of issues
at any one time. Advocates of each
measure have no interest in any part
of the platform except in their pet
measure. The program as whole
therefore IS not pushed by anybody
and the energies OF all hands are thus
scattered and dIffused, and the result
is a political hasco.

Several cities throughout the coun-

so enthused over the idea that they
brought 1t back for adoption in their

At the San Francisco demonstration

speed through the streets, while 1t
kept in constant communication with
fire headquarters. 1t picked up the
fire signals and was controlled easily

Ancient Mortar
Returned to King

WASHINGTON, Dec. Am ancient
brass mortar bearing the royal cipher

at Governors Island, New York, since
the days of George II of England, has
found It's way back overseas to Eng
land and into the hands of its original
owners, the kings royal rifles, st.

as token Of amity by the American
Army and in reply Secretary Weeks
has received a message from George
of England, honorary colonel OF
the old British regiment, expressing
a feeling of 'comradeship existing be-
tween the military forces of the two
English speaking peoples
The weapon is one of those known
as "COehorn mortars," brass twenty
four-pounders, long out of date, and
war left at Governors Island mad
vertently in 1874 when a battalion of
the royal American regiment, q Brit

the outbreak of the Revolutionary
Later, after service in other British
colonies, the regiment reached Eng
land to be renamed the kings royal
rifles, but retaining at the same time
its old designation in the British army;
the Sixtieth Foot.
Some years ago American officers
at Governors Island, led by Chaplain
Edmund B. Smith, Investigated the
origin of the old mortars used there
as decorations and conceived the idea
of returning the old COehorn to its
real owners in the British army. 1t
had never been captured nor had the
rifles ever been in action against
Americans. An exchange of courte-
sies followed, standards of the Brit
ish regiment under which it had
fought, and a signed photograph of
King George V being presented to the

ing been replaced last September by
the Committee of Guarantee which,
besides being a smaller body with in
ferior powers, compared with Its
predecessor, is also kept up at the
allies expense instead Of Germany's.
The allies have already offered Ger
many a similar committee, function
ing at the allies expense. to replace
the Military Control Commission as
soon as the concealed arms situa-
ton is satisfactorily cleared up, and
have further offered to abolish the
Naval Commission altogether, but
despite these offers, the handing over
Of arms has not been speeded up.
On the contrary, it has gone on
slower than ever. The result of these
delays, distractions and attacks has
been a considerable stiffening in the
British Governments attitude on the
arms question.
While weight is given to the de-
sire Of high-spirited nation not to
allow itself to be trampled on, it is
felt that Germany is making d mis-
take.
Germany's Financial Burden
1t is pointed out that by Loyalty
carrying out the treaty's arms sec
tons, Germany would relieve her
self of a considerable financial bur
den, and would also prove her good
faith toward the treaty as a whole.
The British realize that II the Ger
mans want to remain a nation Of sol
diers, the allies can no moro prevent
them now than could Napoleon after
Jena.
Germany has IT'S students clubs, its
gymnastic associations, It's walking
clubs, and a majority Of its male pop
ulation has already received a thor
ough military training. Great Britain
therefore, feels that the control Of
'Germany's output and its stock OF
military equipment is the most eff
cient guarantee for the treaty's full
fllment-far more efficient than the
occupation of more German territory,
which Is much talked Of as an alter
native. The British wish to avoid
what Germany also wishes 20 avoid,
the occupation of the Ruhr and the
Rhineland. and it is therefore hoped
by Germany's well-wishers in this
country that she will reconsider her
attitude toward the military control
commission before It is too late. NJ.
