him to justice before an internation?
al trjbunal.
The French and British view fa
vored a trib.unal, but the American
view, it is understood, favored nioral
indictment without rccourse to
prosecution owipg to the lack of an
international law as a basis for trial
before an international court.
Belgium Is Said to
line Up With America
Belgium, on which the war fell
rirst and heaviest, is reported to
have taken a view much similar to
that of the United States, while
Japan and Italy were partially in
accord with the American view.
It was owing to these divergent
viewpoints that the couneil devised
v. new plan whereby one of the Al?
lied nations, probably Belgium,
would initiate prosecution against
the former Emperor and others re
sponsible for the breach of treatie;*,
the invasion of territory and the de
struction directed against this coun?
try and leading to a more general
s.pread of the war. The exact nature
of the agreement is not disclosed,
but the foregoing is believed to
cover the main lines.
Paris Expects House
To Yield to President
In Withdrawal Threat
By Frederick Moore
Nrvi Tork Trihuvo
Sprciai Cablr Service
PARIS, April 9.?"Unless you want
to plunge all Europe into chaos, it is
rhildish to talk of ijuitting Paris," said
one of the 'most able delegates to the
peace conference to-dny. Ilo was ad
dressing your corrcspondent as an
American, and referred, of course, to I
President Wilson's threat, whicU.
though made to the American press
tiirough Ray Stannard Baker. Wilson's ?
oflicial spokesman, was not made direct
to the other members of the Couneil
of Four.
Loss of Prestige Feared
On the other hand, there is a view
in American circles that Mr. Wilson,
having made repeated threats of this
nature, cannot permit his blufT to be
called and retain any prestige what?
ever. And prestige is an important
factor to his success.
EverywhoTc in the Crillon I-Jotel it
is stated that Colonel House still holds
Mr. Wilson's confidence, but it is strik
:ngly evident that Colonel House has
been endeavoring to "soft pedai" the
situation to reach an agreement and
prevent more public scandal like that
at present. President Wilson has un
doubterily taken the bit in his teeth.
Put that Colonel House, the only other
.American delegate who counts, will ac
cept his superior's decisions and fol?
low him is not doubtod.
(ensor Conceala "Threat"
It is said that this little, mild man
riered and soft voiced gentleman
"never croases the President's will."
This is said to be the secret of Colonel
House, who alone of the able men is
remaining in the President's favor.
As only. the American press was
| fully aware of the situation to-day, the
; onry ? two American papers published
: herr attempted to give the news, but
j they were prevented by thc consor.
Paris generally, therefore, knows noth?
ing of the spectacular development.
1'nmovrd by statements of any sort
or from any quarter in regard to the
character of the French claims, Pre
mier Clemenceau holds firmly to tUc
agreement entered into by the Council
of Four not to divulge either thc sub?
ject matter or the cliaractor of the dis?
eussions going on.
This statement was made to me this
afternoon by a high French official,
who added:
"It would bo foolish to deny that the
French demands differ to-day from
what they were originally. They have
been changed or modified?if you pre
fer that word in the course of the
diseussions, as new facts and new ar?
guments wore brought up. But to-day
l am able to tell you that Clemenceau
and all the French leaders consider
that the sifting process has ended.
"As they now stand, the French
claims, they believe, are in perfect ac
cord with the fourteen points made by
President Wilson, and they purpose to
stand on them as an irreducible mini?
mum dictated by the wellbeing and
safety of their country. These claims,
it may be said with tho utmost frank
ness and confidence, aro not darkened
by even the shadow of any annexation
ist demands, while in regnrd to the
financial exigencies they courageously
take into account the facts as they
are, while seeking the fullest measure
of justice for a nation carefully ex
hausted by aggression."
Paris "Matin" Charges
Attempted Blackmail in
Wilson Ship Ineident
PARIS, April 9 (By The Associated,
Press;. "Talking cannot "go" ori" for-!
ever" and similar cryptic roplies are
the most definite information on the
peace -situation The Associated Press
has been able to obtain from the mem
bera of the American peace delogation,
whoj.decline to clear up the.mystery
which" involvcs the proceediings of the
big four.
When asked to-day why it was neces?
sary for the travelling plans of the;
American delogation to be dependont
upop the steamer George Washington,
and why it could not go home on the
Leviathan or on other ships sailing on
an earlior date for the United States,
oneof the American delegates replied
that he did not think it was necessary
to make hurried plans.
"We do not nccuse our allies of for
getting what France has done," says
the 'Matin' to-day, "but nevertheless
we witnessed a curious thing yesterday.

Lloyd George Tells Parliament
All Peace Pledges Will Be Kept
? ONDON, April 9 (By The Associated Press).?Premier Lloyd
George has addressed a message to the members of Parliament,
saying:
"My colleagues and I mean to stand faithfully by all thc
pledges which we gave our constituencies. We are prepared at any
moment to submit to tlie judgment of Parliament, and, if necessary,
of the country, our efforts loyally to redeem our promises."
The Preiuier's message was in reply to a telegram sent to Mr.
Lloyd George yesterday, signed by 200 members of the House of
Commons, holding the Premier to his election pledges to exact the
utmost indemnity from Germany. The movement was initiated by a
group of Conservative members under the belief that it would
strengthen the Pfemier's hand at the conference.
American propagandists, or newspaper i
men, knowing that President Wilson j
has summoned to Brest the ship which
, is to take him back to Americu, saw in ,
i this natural order an opportunity forl
1 blackmail. They made with the dis
approval of all Americans who are
friends of France a bold-faced at?
tempt at intimidation. 'If you aro not
more accommodating,' they went all :
over tho city saying, 'out President will
return home and vou can extricate j
yourself frorn your difficulties bv your?
self.'"
'Ihe "Matin's" article pungently criti
cises tho peace conference under large j
captions, reading: "Disquieting Mys
terios in Council of Four. In Five I
Months Allied Governments Have Not ;
Solved Single Problem. Odessa in i
Power of Bolsheviki."
Tho newspaper declares it has been
the method of thc conference to put
the concerns of France last. England
and America having got all they re?
quired, says the "Matin," "aow wc
come, we with our bothersome demands,
nnd if we do not get satisfaction our
country will be fin.Mictally dead. Such
will be the fruit of our sacritiees."
I'nited States Envoys Not Surprised
This denunciation has not affected
the American delegates, who apparently
aro not surprised at the newspaper
criticism.
While the Americans repeatedly re
aflirm their belief that considerable
progress has been made in the last
three days, ono member remarked to
day:
"It is not a bad idea to have the
ship at Brest ready for tho return."
Minor officials of the American dele- :
gation aro working with the Entente
delegation, which is making prepara- ?
tion at Versailles for the reception
of the German delegates and the
actual signing of the treaty. while I
various American exports with the SUD- j
commissions are working day and night
arranging the reports of those bodies,
apparently without intimation of any
possible break in the proceedings.
President Wilson conferred last
night with Secretary of- Stato Lansing
conccrning thc minorlty report of tho
commissions on responsibility for the
war. which was not clear to the Presi?
dent.
Ignace .lan Paderewski. the Polish
Premier, was summoned before the
council of four to-day to presfcnt tho
claims of Poland. Tho Premier will
urge that Danzig must be given to
Poland and that Poland must have
tho coal fields of Teschen, Silesia,
upon which, it is said, Polish industry
depends.
Treaty Will Stipulatc
Favored Nation's Trade
Grants From Germany
PARIS, April 9 (Ry The Associated
Press). -Provision for the most fa?
vored nation treatment in the German
customs system for the Allied and as?
sociated countries, and a single tariff
and no tariff discriminations based on
the flag of the vessels in which goods
are transportod or the route of irn
portation or oxportation, will be in
corporated in the peace treaty with
Germany, according to the present pro?
visional agreement.
The restriction is to he enforced for j
five years after the eonclusion of peace
and it probably will include the pfroviso i
that tho tariffs in force upon imports ;
from the associated countries during
that period shall be based on the most
favored nations schedules of 1914.
The obligation to maintain under'
a single tariff the 1914 schedules will j
bc specified only for a limited period,
since there is a fairly realization that [
Germany will be able financially to
raise the maximu of reparation pay- '
ments and limit or exclude unneces
sary imports only by the imposition
of higher customs rates. The proposal
is under consideration to give Ger- !
many, after tho. period which will be
required for the study and revision
of existing tariffs, absolute freedom to
increase all her duties.
Trade Freedom Permitted
Tho economic problems of Alsace- I
Lorrajfifr. and German Poland, the in?
dustries of which heretofore have been
based on membership in the German !
Ejnpire and accest; to the German mar- ,
kots, probably will be given considera
tion by a provision permitting them
freedom of trade with Germany during
the period of "transition and readjust
ment, until it is possible for them to
build up new markets.
Such a solution was found abso
lutely essential for certain industries,
liko cotton manufacturos tuid the
wines of Alsace-Lorraino, for which
no present market oxists outside of
Germany. Tho conference exports,
who agreed upon this solution, believe
this arrangement to bo equally ad
vantageous and acceptable to Germany.
Few Hampering Restrictions
The problem of the exports in
formulating the conditions under which
Germany will bc permitted to recstab
lish commercial relations with the rest
of the world has been most complicated
and intricato, since, in addition to
providing for equality of trade rela?
tions and prcvention of discrimina?
tions against tho present oppononts of
bermany, it has been necessary to con?
sider that Germany's ability to nav
reparations is largely contingent upon
the absence of hampering restrictions
upon the development of home indus?
tries and an outlet for foreign trade."
. t has been the endoavor in tho con?
sideration of the problem to cause as
little loss as possible to the trade re?
lations created beforo the war by vir
tue of special arrangement? and to al
low Germany freedom of tariff rejjula
tion so far as is compatible with tho
necessities of reparation.

California Senate Asks
Immigration Covenant
Inmun Anti-Japanese Lcasing
Resolution Put Over
After Consideration
Special C'ttrrrnptiindfnrr
SAX FRANCISCO, April 0. Assum
ing that President Wilson and other
peacomakeri in Paris do not care what
tho California legislature does about
the Japanoao Bituation, the California
, Senate !ant night adopted a resolution
momorializing the American peace co'fi
i grcss dolegatoa to provide a covenant
to control tho subject. of immigration
iho resolution ln part follows:
'That the American delegates to the
peace conference bo memonalized to
, oppose any policy that will mterfrre
with the right of the several nationi
for themBelvoB, to control the Btibjecl
of irnrnfgratioii and exurcise such dJs
eretion aa they may see fit to preserve
population, its rueial development and
their domestic institutions, to the end
that doubt, agitation and consequent
irritation be prevented and inter?
national peace be restored."
After an all-day debate, Senatotr In?
man of Sacrametnto, succeeded in hav?
ing his anti-Japanese leasing resolu?
tion considered. Last Friday tho Sen?
ate cabled Secretary of State Lansing to
learn if President Wilson would be em
barrassed by the introductton of the
Inman anti-Japanese loasing bill. Up
tot a late hour to-night the only re
sponse to this inquiry was a telegram
to Secretary Beek of the Senate t'?-..-.,
the cablegram had been delivered bith
at the White House and at Paris. The
Inman resolution went over.
Evacuation of Odessa
Bv Allies Confirmed
PARIS, Aoril 'J.?Tho evacuation of
the Black Sea port of Odessa by the
Allied forces is confirmed ofiicially.
The news caused no surprise here.
The French general in command an?
nounced n few days ago that he would
hold Odessa to.tho last, but Foreign
Minister Pichon told the Chamber of
Deputies on March 27 that the situa?
tion at Odessa was serious because of
the problem of feeding the 800,000
civilian inhabitants.
The chief cause of anxiety in con
nection with the evacuation of Odessa
lios in the fact that the most fertile
regions in Southern Russia have fallen
into the hands of the Bolshevik forces,
giving them immense resources of
grain, coal and minerals.
The reason for the Allies' retirement
was the constantly increasing menace
of the Bolshevik soldiery against the
Allied garrison, which was able to
maintain its supplies with the great?
est difficulty. The commander there
upon decided to withdraw his troops,
numbering approximatcly 50,000. The.
troops retired to Rumania and Con
stantinople.
The situation in Rumania and Po?
land is far from reassuring, even with
these additional troops to help form a
cordon against the spread of Bolshe?
vism. Both Rumanians and Poles re
quire the largest rheasure of aid from
the Allies.
It is regarded as cssential in compe
tent quarters that General Haller's
Polish divisions should be hurried east
ward as soon as possible, for otherwise,
it is pointed out, there is a possibility
of the formation of a great Bolshevik
bloc, consisting of Russians, Hun
garians and Germans, which would be
so powerful that immense forces would
be required to resist it.

to Rumania and Bul^aria
PARIS, April 0. The mission to
Hungary. of which General Jan Chris
; ti-.n Smuts is the head, has returned to
: Paris and confirms press accounts that
complete nationalization of property
and industry is a Bolshevik ruse.
The members of the mission say the
V faeto government is well installed,
[and that during the conferences with
the mission the government showed an
I obvious disposition not to quarrel with
the Allies, but rathel* to meet then:
qmicably on all questions consistent
with the nature cf the Bolshevik re
gime.
A wireless message . r. m Bela
Kun, the Hungarian Foreign Minister,
to M. Tchitcherin. tho Russian Bolshe?
vik Minister of Foreign Affairs, under
date of April 8, has been intercepted
by the Paris wireless offieials. The
message follows:
"The German papers are publishing
the stupid story that our dictatorahip
is only a patriotic mask and the only
way the bourgeoisie of the Central
powers could deceive the imperialism
cf the Entente.
"We do not want to use tlie dicta
torship of the Hungarian proletariat
to take bourgeois chestnuts cut of the
fire for the bourgeoisie. When the
Ge-rman proletariat shall have power
they will not use it for the benefit of
German imperialism, and will throw
out Scheidemann, Ebert, N'oske, David
and their press valets."
Another dispatch under the same
date from Lenine to Bela Kun says:
"Please send details of the revolu?
tion in Bavaria. VVe have only the
barost announcement. 'Wireless a com?
plete statement of how the new state
was established."
Lerune also sent a message to Bela
Kun asking him to advise the entire
world that Odessa had been taken by
the Ukrainian Bolsheviki.
The American peace delegation has
received advices showing that Lenine is
taking a prominent part in advising the
the new Hungarian government. He is
communicating by wireless. courier
and airplane, counselling moderation in
order to avoid the errors and excesses
of the Russian revolution.
The Bolsheviki nppear to have hopes
that communication can be established
between Hungary and Russia nnd that
Bolshevism will break out in Rumania |
and Bulgaria.
VIENNA, April 8 ( By The Associated
Press).-- The majority of the persons
in Budapest are unwilling to express
opinions against communism, as they
are afraid of a reign of terror, with
the possibility of a repetition of the
Petrograd and Muscow murders, but it is
plain it is ever present in their minds
that they are being robbed of their
prosperity by persons incapab'.e of or
ganizing the business of government,
keeping up factories or doing anything
except printing money, as is done in
Moscow, when the present stock is ex
hausted.

First Treaty to Have
JSo Separate Articles
PARIS, April 9.?In answer to a
letter from the president of the
commission on the budget, asking
the form in which the preliminary
peace treaty would be submitted to
the Chamber of Deputies, Premier
Clemenceau declared to-day that the
constitution, which rcgards treaties
as valid onlv after having been voted
upon by both houses, would be ob
served. No territory could be relin
quished, cxchanged or annexed, ex?
cept as directed by law.
The Premier added that the pre?
liminary peace treaty would form
one c""-*^lete entity, which could not
be div-Kie.i into separate articles, and
could not be submitted to the vari?
ous commissions until the complete
treaty had been drafted.
Central Empires will be saved from
' ruin by their methods; that the capi
i talists are unable or unwilling to un
' dertake business under present condi?
tions, and that communists will force
j the workers to work for a moderate
' wage, and that the government will
furnish the capital. But when faced
; with the problem of securing raw ma?
terials from America and other coun
: trics whose capitalists are unwilling
| to aecept their money in payment, they
| talk vagu'ely about an exchange of
j products. But back in their heads is
' I.enine's scheme of communizing the
! whole world, thus making the rich
j countries support tho poor ones.
Among such communists are Jules
| Alpare, a promient engineer; Jules
: Hevquehr, Commissioner for the So
..'...;. i: of Factories; Professor
l Peter Agoston. Chancellor of the For
eigi *::...c. and other prominent men.

Are You
A Telephone Directory
Advertiser?
IF YOU SELL a product or service that can be used by
the big army of telephone users in the Metropolitan area?
then there are a whole lot of reasons why the forthcoming
May Issue of the New York City Telephone Directory should
be of interest to you.
This issue will reach in addition to the five big- boroughs of
Greater New York, eighty-one f urrounding cities, towns and
villages. It will cover a territory that holds more than one
tenth of the population of the United States and a consider
ably larger percentage of its purchasing power. It will carry
the messages of more than 1,400 advertisers to this enormous
territory and, if it follows the lead of previous issues it will
produce big results.
Now, then Mr. Prospective AdverriserT-consider that this big
Directory-?essential tothe telephone users of the Metropolitan
Area?comiftg out in May one million forty thousand strong
is going to stay on the job alongside New York City's tele
phones for five months and alongside telephones outside of
New York City for a considerably longer period.
Consider, too, that these directories will be consulted more
than 3,000,000 times every day ; that a fair percentage of these
3,000,000 consultations possibly will be made by people who
wish to telephone their orders for products which you handle.
Consider all these facts carefully and let us give you a few ad?
ditional facts concerning the big possibilities in New York

surpri8ingly low costs.
