FSS Europe Fears New Chaos if U. S. Withdraws All I*? Schemes for Reor? ganization Are Based on the Participation of America, London Says Peace Deadlock Continues provisional Decision as to Terms to Turkey Proba-! bly Will Be Reconsidered frsm bunt's European Bureau (Copjrriffnt, IS 0, New York Tribuno Inc.) j LONDON, Feb. 20. The decision of (??o United Stairs for or against co? operation in the peace settlement is of outstanding importance in Europe to ,-?sv. The mere rumor that the oppo? nents of the treaty in the S?ante now; believe ratification is impossible is ex-i retced to i.rouse as much alarm almost as ?fj new conflict had opened. A., the schemes for the reorganisa? tion and resettlement of Europo are based on the Assumption of American participation, and withdrawal at this! ..tsge can only mean the wildest con-! fusion politically and economically. The supporters of the plan to seek a settlement with the Bolsheviki are in? fluenced by their fear that the United States will decide to remain aloof from European affairs, and that Germany i ?1) then seek a new alliance with ! Russia and Austria. In fact, German negotiations with the Bolsheviki are keeping pare with, if not in advance of. the British and Italians. France is i g i tain : g her policy of reserve. The situation i? extremely grave from whichever direction it be ap? proached. The fate of Turkey must be j considered uncertain and theer is every likelihood that the provisional decision! already announced will be reconsidered. ? The terms being made by ihe Allied 1'remier? are extremely unsatisfactory here. Italy is making a strong petition for a place in Asia .Minor, and her - - are conflicting somewhat with and French aspirations. ? : e league of nations enjoyed the strength which it promised at the be- I (finning of the Paris conference many j of the problems the delegates in Lon- ! don are finding almos* insoluble would row have passed over to that body. But America's absence from the league means it is still only an apology fur ! s world league. Just how the Allies are going |to reach n unanimous decision and pre? serve the integrity of their alliance is a question that cannot be answered row. The very fact that tho confer? ence adjourned to-day after on unusu? ally brief session indicates how serious the deadlock is. t -?-?? Trial of "War Criminals" Will Begin Next Week ?s Examination of Witnesses To Be Followed by Pleadings Within a Month LONDON, Feb. 20.---The German government is rushing preparations to try Germans accused of violations of the laws of war and examination of witnesses and arguments will begin next week, according to a Berlin dis? patch to "Th< Central News." Plead inga will open before the Lelpsig court within tho next month, it ia said. Germany's reply to the last Allied note relative to the trials will point out issue upon which greater clearness is desirable, according: to a decision ! reached by the German Cabinet on Wednesday, says a Berlin dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company. It will bo .contended, the dispatch states, that accusations against several | persons, notably Fiel.l Marshal von | Hindcnbuvg, General Ludendorff and ; Admiral von Tirpitd are too general. Newspapers at Berlin declare tho im? perial Public Prosecutor will be re? quired to test allegations and make I inquiries, and that it is possiblo he may conclude there are no grounds for ', instituting proceedings. Lady Astor Objects Only To Word 'Prohibition' ! Looks Forward to Day England i Will Follow Examples of America, She Says From The Tribune's Burbpeau Bureau j e'or>> right. l!>2n. New York Tribuno Inc. LONDON, Feb. L'O. Lady Astor-is annoyed at the interpretation placed upon the speech in which she said: "I hate the word prohibition. I have enough of the devil in me That if any one prohibits a thing it becomes the one thing that 1 want." ?She writes to-day: "My objection was not ot the aboli? tion of drink by popular vote of the electors, but to the word 'prohibition.' 'Prohibition' eloes not seem to me a good interpretation of what has just happened in America, because the coun? try was not made 'dry' by the arbitrary ruling of a despotic government, but an act of self-denial was passed with the support ot* an overwhelming ma? jority of the people. "I am sure that such a majority does j not jot exist in England, and so wo must go for what is tho most imme? diate practical measure in tho state control of the liquor trade. 1 person? ally look forward to ? day when Fug- | land will be prepared to go as far as I the United States has. "But in the mean time I believe it would be impossible to impose prohib?- j tion successfully on an unwilling peo- , pie, and we should only put our cause back, instead of forward, is we pressed ] for it now.''
