BARTHoU LEAVES PARIS.

PARIS, May 5.-vice Premier
: 1sarthou. head of the french delega-
3ion at the economic conference, left
Paris today for Genoa after his con-
ferences over the situation with
Premier Poincare and the cabinet
here. Premier Poincare urged M.
Barthou to make an effort to reach
an agreement with the allies on the
memorandum to Russia that would
satisfy the Belgians and not sacrifice
the principle that the private prop
erty Of foreigners in Russia must be
respected.
The French government, it is said
by an official of the foreign Office, has
entered into no agreement whatever
concerning recognition of the soviet
government. 1t is entirely free, ac-
the question according to the French
point of view, which Is that the soviet
regime cannot yet be regarded as a
representative government and that
there is no reason for giving it the
moral support which would result
from official recognition.
The declaration of DR.. Walter
Rathenau, the German foreign min
lister. to Prime Minister Llyod George
that he saw no necessity for confirm
ing the treaty of Versailles by ac-
cepting the French reservations to
the non-aggression pact is inter-
preted in official circles here as dis
closing the hope of the Germans that
they may nullify the treaty by
means of agreements at Genoa. M.
Barthou. however, has ironclad in
structions to resist any tendency to
encroachment on the treaty, whether
in. the non-aggression pact or in
other decisions reached at Genoa.

ASPARTY'S LEADER
Considers Him.
self Chief, Despite Bryan,
Cox or Others.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Woodrow Wilson considers himself
the leader Of the democratic party, all
other aspirants for that position to
the contrary notwithstanding.
This impression has been gradually
gaining ground recently with thu
growing improvement in Mr.. Wilson's
health, but the letter written to John
C. Higdon, who asked the former
Presidents advice about entering the
democratic senatorial primary in
Missouri, now has been accepted here
as removing all doubts on the ques-
tion.
In that letter to Mr.. Higdon. the
forr n President suggested that If the
former believed in my political lead
ership' he would not comphcate the
contest by making 1t a three-cor-
nered fight, as Breckenridge Long, a
close friend Of Mr.. Wilson's. has al
ready begun his campaign to wrest
the nomination from Senator James
A. Reed, arch political foe of Mr.. Will
son.
Meaning Seen in Letter.
Democrats hereabouts who profess
~ hHO~ dUouI VAk. Wis . PohIA-
cal thoughts look, upon the letter to
Mr.. Higdon with deep satisfaction, for
they say, it is full Of meaning for
those who have essayed to place
James NJ Coz. at the head Of the demo-
cratic party because he was the nom
inee at the last convention. The ques-
tion really asked by the Wilsonites-
and answered positively by them-is
whether a man who was twice elect
ed to the presidency, on the demo-
cratic ticket. indeed the first demo-
crat in generation, isn't entitled to
consider himself leader of the party
as against another democrat who sim
ply ran for the presidency and was
defeated. For that matter William
Jennings Bryan ran thrice for the
presidency and doesn't. believe in TAX
ing back seat for anybody, but it is
a fact that Mr.. Wilson has on more
than one occasion made it clear that
he is the leader Of the party, and not

was in control Of Peking at noon to-
day, and Gen. Chang Tso-Lin. whose
forces he routed yesterday in fierce
battle south OF the capital, was re-
ported fleeing to Mukden. Chang's
army is retreating in disorder toward
Tientsin.
Observers here believe Chang's sud-
den collapse has ended the hostili-
ties.
With $4,000 troops. Gen. WI Pei-Fu
encircles Chang Tso-Lin's forces cut
side Peking yesterday, and after fif-
teen hours Of relentless cannonading,
machine gun fire and infantry
charges. routed his opponent, making
himself the master of the situation
around the Chinese capital.
Casualties Near 1000.
Tonight Wu's forces camped un-
molested outside the city gates. The
routed army left behind artillery,
munitions, horses and loaded camels,
and its wounded and dead. The total
casualties in the days fighting are
believed to have reached from 5000 to
1000 dead and wounded.
Before dawn Wu Pei-Fu started a
simultaneous attack on all of Chang
Tso-Lin's intrenched positions to the
the Manchurian general had retired
from ,Changsintien, twelve miles
southwest, of Peking's gates.
The retreating army fell back to
the Hun river and tried to hold q po-
sitton near the Marco Polo bridge,
Fu's men. Chang's forces fed, some
going on trains eastward for Tientsin
and others scattering to the hills or
pleading that the gates Of the city be
opened to give them refdge.
Fight Near City's wall.
Before noon WI Pei-Fu had ad-
vanced to the vicinity Of Fengtai, a
few miles east Of Changsintien,
where Chang Tso-Lin's troops rallied
for the defense. The nghting was
thus brought near Peking's walls, and
warning was sent to the city author
tiles that soldiers were about. to en-
ter the capital The gates were i'm
mediatelE closed, only foreigners who
had been shut out being permitted to
return.
BY mid-afternoon WI Pei-Fu had
captured Fengtai,s thus delivering a
decisive blow at Chang .Tso-Lin's
stronghold nearest Peking. Soon the
retiring army had been driven so far
from the city that the firing was less
distinctly heard here, although strag-
glers continued shooting directly un-
der the walls
WI Pei-Fu's> attack in this sector
is believed to have been undertaken
concurrently with similar drives at
Machang, on Chang Tso-Lin's south
eastern front, and also on his middle
front on the Hun river. Consular re-
ports indicated that the fighting at
those places was intense. No details
were received, but it was reported
that Chang Tso-Lin's army was forced
to retire.
Peking tonight slept behind guard
ed wallis. The gates were closed and
barred. and patrols of soldiers paced
to and fro all night with fixed bay
onets. Only persons bound on official
business were permitted to pass.

tions had been suspended.
