.aiser's Cousin
Cuts $500, 900
Debts to 5000
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN. February 17.-Prince
Frederick Leopold of Prussia first
cousin Of former Emperor William,
has been in the courts again and
won another lawsuit Frederick
Leopold always wins.
The prince is the richest and
probably the most contentious OF
the Hohenzollerns. He warred
constantly with the former en-
peror over loans made to him. and
one time William punished his
cousin by keeping him out OF his
home for thirty-six hours by
means Of armed guards. Freder-
lex Leopold has extensive estates
In Potsdam and elsewhere in Prus-
STA and constantly Is in litigation
with his tenants. The princes
last suit was the third or fourth
he has won against the new Prus-
sian government. 1t related to
payment of the princes debts in
switzerland by the Prussian
finance minister, who took the
princes jewels as security.
The debts originally were COM
puted at 100000 marks. but the
nnance minister tried, after the de-
cline of the mark. to collect in
stead 100000 Swiss francs. The
prince denied the right Of the
finance minister to demand francs
for a debt contracted In marks.
The court sustained the princes
contention. with the result that he
will be able to discharge for
about $500 an obligation which
would have amounted to nearly
s3O0.0o0 had he been required to
pay in Swiss francs.

CONSTANTINOPLE, February IL
Neville Henderson, acting British high
commissioner here, saw Ismet Pasha,
the nationalist foreign minister, today
on board the steamer Gul-Djemal, which
brought Ismet hero on his way from
Lausanne to Angora.
Mr.. Henderson communicated to Ismet
message from Lord Curzon, the Brit
ish foreign secretary, saying the British
were still willing to sign the peace
treaty as submitted to the Turks at
Lausanne and urging the Turks TO ac-
cept the offer before il was too late.
1smet replied, giving a friendly mes
sage for Lord CurZon and declaring
he would work at Angora in the in
terest of peace.
When interviewed Ismet repeated the
explanation he made at Lausanne of
the treaty failure and said:
ut is my conviction that the allies
eventually will recognize the sacrifices
We made to attain peace and will give
reasonable consideration to the questions
remaining in suspense.
Il cannot say whether peace will be
made: the situation will be clearer aft
er reach Angora. 1t will be necessary
to renew diplomatic parleys before an

PARIS, February IA press
dispatch from Washington saying
that DR.. Otto Wiedfeldt, German
ambassador. was soliciting Amer
lean assistance to feed 100000
persons starving in the occupied
Ruhr district caused a mild sensa-
tion in French official circles.
Official pointed out that a report
on the food situation in the Ruhr
issued eight days ago by DR.. Lu-
ther, burgomaster Of Essen and
food minister in the Cuno govern
ment. stated that the population
was provided with wheat and DO
tatoes sufficient to last until

The burgomasters of Bochum,
Duisburg and Gelsenkirchen have
refused to accept the establish
ment Of French soup kitchens in
their municipalities, it was added,

care of themselves. The French
view is that any such appeal for
assistance for the Ruhr as re-
ported from Washington is unjus-

LONDON, February 1T.-Proof of
the truth of at least the first part
Of an epigram which runs, ''The Eng
lish don't remember history, the Irish
won't forget it, and the Americans
are too busy to learn it, is indicated
by the interest which is being taken
IN a Washington's birthday luncheon
which Will be held next Thursday
and at which nearly 1000 persons
prominent in the political and social
life Of the British capital will gather
in the largest banquet hall in London
to honor the memory Of the first
American President.
Bonnr Law to Speak.
The nucleus OF the party will be
members of the English-speaking
Union. but Andrew Bonar Law, the
British prime minister, will interrupt
busy parliamentary day to deliver
the principal address. while the Arch
bishop of Canterbury. the high COM
nnissioners OF Australia, Canada, New
Zealand and South Africa cabinet
ministers and lords and ladies and
other titled persons by the dozen will
be tmong those present.
The organizers of the luncheon say
that applications have been made for
twice the number of seats available
and that British guests will outnum-

but the results of more recent wars
seem to show that the British wage
war without permanent grudge. That
IS Just the trouble with England now,
according to one section of the press,
which is campaigning against a too
ready forgiveness of Germany.
And other examples are pointed to
of this tendency. Although the Brit
tsh were leaders in trying to beat
the bolsheviki after Germany was
disposed of in the late war. Great
Britain was the first Of the great
powers to about face and conclude
an agreement with>the soviet govern

dred thousand Greeks linhabitating
Constantinople. No one asks the rea-
son for the sudden desire for Turkish
friendship but the rays of political
Roentgen apparatus would show Brit
ish desire to exploit oil wells and
French appeal for other economic ad-
vantages.
Pity Poor France!
France believes Germany has given
more money to restore her agricul-
tural, industrial and shipping life
than was justified under the peace
treaty. Therefore France considers
herself insulted, insisting thaat her
own technical machinery was more
injured than thaat of her enemy.
and she refuses to agree with the the
highest technical efficiency will make
II possible to meet obligations.
Leaders of the British government
shake their heads in pity over poor
France. which. it is true, demands
large sums from Germany, but at the
same time they fear that Germany
capable OF paying will be too strong
and then there will be a danger to
France again. England wishes France
luck in the Ruhr, but forsees only bad
luck.
What remedy do they propose?
What is their wisdom? They have
no remedy, know no remedy and can
only pipe sweetly that perhaps Amer
lea later on can come in and mediate.
Yesterday an American friend cabled
me-
IF your government will decide to
confiscate eighty per cent of the
excess fortunes of the privileged few
and administer just reparations, then
the enlightened thought of America
will add it's counsel"
Balance of Power.
Much might be said against such a
summary proceeding. but anyhow its
better than the. sad faces of the Eng
lish politicians. But the real remedy
is easily found. Between Pas de Calais
and the Westphalian town of Hamm,
in the valleys of the Rivers Scheldt,
Meuse, Rhine and Ruhr lie Europes

ductive mines, modern foundries. and
the most finely organized factories,
railways and waterways.
If this area could be nationally
combined into one unit, undisturbed
by dynastic ambitions and diplomatic
jealousies fixing imaginary bounda-
ries, then it would be possible not
only to tide Belgium, France, Italy
the war, but gradually to reconstruct
the whole continent But this would
take from England her balance of
power; therefore she is not anxious
to see any Franco-German under
standing.

these countries fail to see how i'm

LONDON, February II. - Because
Premier Bonar Law has no serious
opposition in parliament, Britain's
hand cannot now be forced in the
European crisis. He will be afforded
every opportunity to work out a sat
isfactory solution without jeopardiz-
ing the future Of the country, If that
Is possible.
Law, naturally q sorrowful man,
with sad eyes, downcast and melan-
cholic appearance, would, IL he fol-
lowed his disposition, very likely re-
tire to cell and reflect on the fu-
tility of life. No doubt he would
have lodged his present enormous
responsibilities IL he had been able
to do so. And he will escape If
favorable opportunity affords.
Meanwhile he sees his gospel Of
tranquility made a jest of by both
foreign and domestic events. He
stands aghast before the paralyzing
doings Of Poincare in the Ruhr.
These doings, cutting the jugular
vein Of the European industrial sys-
tenn" are most serious, but what can
he do?
Bit I'm POincare's Teeth.
Poincare has taken the bit in his
teeth and pays no more respect to
the opinion of the British than to the
opinion of the Fiji islanders. Indeed,
1t now is being plainly indicated that
the presence Of British forces on Ger
man soil no longer is welcomed.
They are an obstacle to the full
achievement of the program Poincare
has in mind. His Rhine buffer state
must incorporate territory now occu-
pied by the British if it is to be
success.
While the French would be glad to
see the British withdraw from
Cologne, the Germans would not.
They want us to remain, doubtless
hoping for a clash that would finally
finish the entente.
Law HopelessIy Perplexed.
Law is hopelessly perplexed. If he
! withdraws the troops the world will
see hopeless rupture with France.
If they remain our prestige suffers.
Humiliating incidents are of daily oc-
currence. Military opinion at home
| would bring the troops back. And
the morale OF the men is being shat
| tered by the march of events.
1t no longer is doubted that Law
must eventually recall the troops, and
the opinion is growing that now is
the proper time. Curzon's admission
in the House of Commons that a any
| moment a crisis may arise indicates
the peril of the situation. The
French have demanded the right to
use the railways through the British
| occupied territory. This makes our

BERLIN, February 1.-THE giant
Roentgen, great physicist, was borne
to his grave through sorrowing thou
sands, full of years and full of honors,
blessed by both Minerva and Fortuna
az a great discoverer. full of wisdom
and abundantly blessed by good luck.
His homo now Is occupied by foreign
troops, but thirty years ago he it was
who discovered those rays which en-
able doctors to see behind solid flesh,
the bones and the condition of every
organ OF the body, including the heart
and the stomach. Not only this, but
his discovery revealed atoms of stone
and metals in the smallest detail.
What of Political Roentkenf
The world knows what this meant
to surgery, medicine, mineralogy.
science. theory of practical manufac-
ture, technique and the like. Would
the world be equally ready to pay
tribute to political Roentgen." pay
Ing him the same tribute as the dead
German scientist? Does the world
want to see conditions in the heart
and brain of nations and rulers; to
see the contents Of closed safe or
purse as one can observe the condi-
tion of the lungs or kidneys through
rent? Is the number of people large,
who have the courage and nerve any
where to examine their own people,
let alone foreign nation, with such
exact scientific apparatus?
We are still doubtful. Politics daily
becomes more materialistic. Many
thinkers today believe politics are
determined by desires to grab near
east oil wells, or timber, or coal. or
ore in Europe, considerations of i'm
port and export trade regulating the
main line switches of the political
railway. The object of the above ar
guments, however. Is to show how ma
tions, guided by horrible greed Of
money, develop nationalistic feelings
which are dishonorable.
Yelled Under Cry of Freedom.
Every one Is anxious to believe the
sweet hope that their own country
always is struggling for freedom. hu-
manity, culture, the sacred laws of
civilization and honor. Therefore, in
order to preserve these sacred laws
Japan is allowed to beat Russia, while
an alliance is made with the same

the Turks, who for centuries had been

Asia Minor homes. Yet now the pow

they have enjoyed for several hundred

IN CONNECTICUT
IN CONNECTICUT

For the next month. during the
period when the frost is coming out
of the ground, trouble will be en-
countered in operating heavily load
ed trucks over some of the soft sur
faced highways. The State Highway
department does not desire to restrict
the maximum loading of trucks per-
mitted by law, unless it is found that
excessive damage is being done to the
surfaces, in which case it will be
necessary to restrict the maximum
loads to 10000 pounds gross weight.
All truck owners and operators are
requested to use judgment, operating
only the loads which are reasonable
at this time of year, reducing the
weight on any day when road condi-
tons are unfavorable, and operating
only on the days when minimum dam
age will be caused to the highways.
If this cooperation is obtained, the
State Highway department will not
find it necessary to reduce the max
imum weight limit, and marked saw
ing in expense will follow. Cooper
alton is requested to this end.
