PARIS, March 22.- The council of
ten fruitlessly discussed the Polish
question to-day, and it grows clearer
from the German attitude regarding
Poland, a? indicatcd by the breaking off
of the Poscn negotiations, that. the
Gormans believe that while they lost
?iic war on the Western front they have
gaincd in the East.
The military party obstinately clings
to this view, and there are many indi
cations that orders of the Weimar gov
rrnment will receive little obediencc.
The council to-day arrange for the dis
pstch of the iir-t contingent of Polish
troops, which tncludes an appreciable
:.umber of Frcnch officers, but this was
:hc cniy decision reached.
Tlie whole question of Polish boun
(Uries is stiil in abeyance, waiting for
the commission report, which has been
referred back again. the commission
having stated it was unabe to sce a
reason for a changc. The chief point
at issue is the- giivng of Danzig to Po?
land, which would bring within imme
iliatr. occupation the railway running
from Danzig into Poland.
There is a note of gloomy unbeiief
struck in an article signed by Charles
-ajrlio, which appears in "L'Oeuvre"
iuul is captioncd "To Remake the V.'orld
:n Fifteen Days."
LSaglio in a general review of the
work of the Council of Ten says the
iicads of the allied governments con
stitutcd theraselves directors of the
ncople of the world, thus undertaking
respon-ibilities the more heavy since
rhey were assumed without consulta
tions with nor mandates from the par
liaments.
"Surprised in Xovember. 1918, by
victory which military authorities had
not anticipated before the spring oi
1919. the victorious nations had no gen?
eral plan when tirst gathered arounc
the grecn table at the Quai d'Orsay
and in the main each brought to the
conference his personal views and th?
especial interests of his nation.
"Russian afl'airs are more obscurc
and dangerous han ever. In Ukraiiu
the Allied delegation is unable even tc
make the Ukrainians listen and we dc
not even know whether we can sem
troops into Danzig. In Turkey nothing
has been decided regarding Syria. Ar
menia or the claims of the Greeks
while the fate of Constantinople is stil
a big interrogation point. The realn
of the Serbs. Croats and Slovenes have
not been ofrici^lly recognized, save by
the United States. and the conflict be
jfeen Ronie and Belgrade grows stead
ily worse."
Saglio declares that the public woulc
bo less concerned with the lack of suc
ccss in these matters if it could fee
that the conference had clear view;
and firm resolutions regarding th<
morc immediate war questions.

''The situation has improved," said
General Lyautey, ''but much remains
to be done by otir troops, among whom
I have just spent three Weeks. They

The general told of the hastening

British P u b 1 i c Asks
Steam Heat Replace
A r c h a i c Fireplaee
English System Declared Ad
mirable Inventioii From
Every Aspeet Except That
of Utility and Economy
LONDON, Fcb. 26 (Correspondence
of The Associated Press)f? The govern
ment plan to build 300,000 houses for
workmen within the ncxt few years ap
parently has aroused the British pub
lic to demand abolition of the archaic
English fircplace, and substitution of
the American steam heating system
for homes. The demand is voiced by
numerous contributors to the London
newspapers.
"If I had my way I would at oncc
send a commission of British archi
tects to America and Canada to learn
there the elements of the business of
building houses and equipping them,"
ueclares one writer.
"One fundamental defect runs
through practically all British houses
i of whatevcr grado," he continues.
' "They depend for their heating on
I fires. Xow the English fire is an ad
| mirable inveution from every aspeet
j except that of utility and cleanliness.
!t is cheerful, companionable, soporific,
sentimental?an altogethcr delightful
thing to have in a room. It has, how
evcr, two vital drawbacks, it does not
heat and it is abominably dirty.
"I mean that it does not heat prop
i erly. Its radius is so limited that qver
half an average English drawing room
; is not used in wintcr time. To move
tv.elve feet away from the fireplace is
to leave the Tropic of Capricorn and
1 cnter the Arctic Circle, while as for
sitting comforlably near the window,
: the thing is ihconceivable.
Does Work Poorly
"In the second place, even within its
meagre radius, a fire never does its
work thoroughly. It never warms you
1 all over. One side is grilled, the other
1 is underdono. Your face is aglow,
; your back a ripple of iciclos."
The writer called attention to the
acknowledged fact that in spite of the
labor of carrying coal for gratc fires
fully 80 per cent of the heat is wasted
going up the chimney.
"Could any thing be more barbarous.
, more expensive or more inefficient.'."
asks the writer. ">.'e shall never have
cither sanity or comfort in our homej
until we adopt the central heating sys?
tem (3team or hot air furnaces), spread
warmth throughout the house, not in
patches. and burn wood on the heartr
_ j to supply the element of cheerfulnes;
' ! with a minimum of trouble and dust.'

H'opjutiii!. 1919. N?tr Yoil; Trtbune Iiic.j
COBLEXZ, March 19. The Ameri
can military authoritics to-day arrest
cd Hcrr Jansen, burgoniaste'r of Cob
lcnz, and also Herr Jur<jensen, ncting
president. of Coblenz, "for neglect and
refusal to obey a requisition made by
the American authoritics." Both were
held. for trial before a military c'om
missicjn, which, under the law, is em
poweied to impose any pcnalty, includ
ing that of death.
The requisition in question was a
demand for 300 laborers for work on
roads ncar Bcnsdorf. The technieal
clefcnce made by the accuscd was that'
the reqursition was not made out in
proper form'and without respect to the
dignity of the German officials con
cerned.
To-day's defiance o.' American mili?
tary law by leading officials was the
most flagrant of a series of misdemoan
o'rs. Thefts, violations of liqupr regu
lations and failure to observe' the mili?
tary law by German civilians gafierally
during the last three weeks are some
of the things charged against the Ger
mans by the American authorities.
Becoming Openly Defiant
Since the beginning oT March the
Germans seem to hav? discarded the
thin veneer of obedience and docilitv
so evident at the beginning of our oc
cupation and are now becoming more
and more openly defiant.
In the week onding March 1 there
were 179 provosi court trials to deal
with enemy offenders. In the week end
ing March'8 .there were rJOJ trials and
in the week ertdiriir March 15 the num?
ber rose to ;17?. showing, as The Trib?
une correspondent. pointed out a f'ort
night ago, that rhe Germans now are i
eognizant of the failure of their cam
paign of pretended love for the Ameri?
cans, dexignod to get lightcr peacu
terms and abundant food and even to
drive a wedse between ourselvcs and
our Allics, aud are beginning to allow
their real feelings to come to tne sur
fa.ee. This is equally nianifcsted by
the first encounter between American
soldiers and German civilians. which
occurrcd a few days ago.
In the tria! of Jansen and Jurgen
scn the military authorities will cite
interesting precedents, including the
shooting of French and Belgian ci?
vilians for the slightest infractions of
German military laws during the Ger?
man occupation of those territorics.
Likewise. these German dignkaries.
who violate-our laws so lightly, will
be forced to listen to an exact par
; allel of their case occurring in 1870,
: when the German army requisitioned
500 laborers^from the French city of
Nan.cy.
The Mayor of Xancy refused to dc
liycr the workmen. The. Germans
