LEAGUE’S DOOM SEEN AS LODGE BOLTS PARLEYS Senator Tells Democrats His Reservations Must Stand . in Their Entirety. HITCHCOCK IS AROUSED WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 —Pros pects of an early settlement of the peace controversy passed today when Senator Lodge served notice on the member of the bi-partisan conference that he would not sur render any of the guarantees Included in the Lodge reservations. The reworded reservations pre sented last week which made conces sions on several points were not brought up at today’s conference. The republican leader’s refusal to re sume the conferences came in the form of an ultimatum in which he Insisted that no change whatever be mad* in his orig inal reservations. SPOILS PREVIOUS WORK, HITCHCOCK SAYS. Senator Hitchcock issued a statement following a conference with democratic members of the conference in Which he said an agreement had been practically consummated when Lodge took his stand. The Hitchcock statement follows: “When the conference assembled Sena tor Lodge advised the senators present that he had been called into a meeting by certain republican senators and for that reason had not been able to attend the last conference Friday. He regretted to say that he found It impossible to re sume the conference for a compromise except upon the understanding that no change shall be made in the reservation of article 10 or on the Monroe doctrine. TO MAKE REPORT TOMORROW MORNING. “The democratic inembers retired for a private conference and will make their reply to Senator Lodge Tuesday morn ing at a meeting at 10:30 “The conference up to the time its meetings were- interrupted had tenta tively agreed upon the preamble and all sections of the reservations, except that relating to Article 10, the Monroe doc trine and one or two minor matters, and an agreement was apparently almost con sumated on Article 10 when adjournment suddenly came, followed by the Interven tion of the irreconcilable republicans.” JAPS RUN INTO NEW PROBLEMS Radicals and Invasion of Korea Cause Alarm. LONDON, Jan. 20. —The latest nevjs, as given in bolsbevist communiques, points to the bolsbevist advance forces being in front of Irkutsk in a very few days. There is no news of the attitude of tho Japanese government but a Moscow wire less message states that the soviet army will not undertake any aggressive action calculated to provoke any collision with Japanese troops. Japan has her own troubles, according to a Reuter telegram from Honolulu, which quotes a Shanghai message to the effect that the Korean “national” army has crossed the Siberian frontier into Korea and has captured EDchin from the Japanese. * Recently, it will be remembered, Mps cow announced the coming of a delega tion representing Korean sovietism, which delegation declared that Korea was ripe for revolt. Moscow now declares that, luce the capture of Krasnoyarsk, no 'inemy army worth speaking of is facing (he red troops although “the menace of Japan and the vassals of the entente In the west still compel the soviet author ity to devote a great part of its forces so military purpose.” 1 WESTS CLAIMS STIR UP EASTS SCHOOLAPOLLOS BOSTON, Jan. 20.—When Greek meets Greek—which Is the better Gyeek? Professors in physical culture at the University of California, claiming as a result of many measurements that the most perfect human specimens of both sexes are found In the west, have stirred up a spirit of contention among the Venuses and Apollos of the east, and local institutions hasten to challenge their conclusions. “How about the Harvard team?" asks Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, president of the Sargent School of Physical Education. “According to specified measurements, our eastern boys showed a higher aver age of physical perfection and individual cases of more ideal proportions than their western opponents. “The east has always stood 8 8 the great centre for schools where an all around physical development was as Mired. Our college athletes have noth-, lng to fear from the west In this re spect.” And hdw about "Venus In the east?” Dr. Sargent is convinced that our girls can hold their own when it comes to measurements. “The girl In the oast need not worry,” he said. “It is a well known fact that the western girl comes here for professional training in gym nasium kijd physical culture. If she claims any advantage In the way of measurements and perfect proportions, she will find plenty of competition.’ And, anyway, as Dr. Sargent remarked, even if there are a few perfect models in the west, they came from the east originally.

' FRANCE’S TIGER DOESN’T WANT TO LEAVE HIS HOME PARIS, Jan. 20.—One of the reasons which is causing Premier Clemenceau to hesitate before accepting the presidency of the French republic is that he does not like the idea of surrendering his present comfortable home for the great structure that houses presidents of France. The EJysee palace was built at a time when there were few modern comforts. A heating system on the hot air plan was recently installed, but Madame Poin care and other recent occupants complain that the air IS constantly filled with small particles *of coal dust that keep servants Dusy changing linens and dust ing. Furthermore, very few of the rooms are ever really warm and on cold days this winter Madame Poincare has founds it ( neceytary to wear her furs In the din* lng room. Until President Poincare was Inaugu rated there was only one bathtub in the entire palace. He had several installed, but oh cold days the president of the re public, like most other Parlsdans, suffers from lack of hot water. It has been customary for the chamber of dputJes to vote $40,000 at the time of the election of anew president for re pairing the palace. But since prices of material and labor have tripled since the last election It is anticipated that the next president will ask a credit of at least $120,000 to make the necessary re pairs.

S. Educator Says. WORKS UNDER JAP “GAG” NEW YORK, Jan. . 20.—America and Europe today see China largely through blue glass furnished by Japan, and China needs a publicity of her own, said Dr. Robert M. McElroy, professor of his tory in Princeton university and recently first American exchange professor to China, in an address before the fcbina Society of America here. * “China is not today a free govern ment,” said Dr. McElroy, “because the people of China are not vocal. Even if they were educated, it would profit them little until the mfichincry of free ex pression coaid be set up. Bat China as a nation is not vocal among the nations because news of her comes in most cases through Japan. China needs cables and organized publicity of her own. The China Society of America can help to secure these for her. “We do not wish foreign propaganda in America. That is why 1 wish Chinese news to come to us' direct from China. If this society could secure real infor mation about things Chinese and through an organized speakers’ bureau and or ganized press releases give this news to the public, another Shantung robbery would be aoon rendered too hazardous to be attempted. The world would know that Japan’s, plan to control Shan tung means just what Berlin’s plhn to control the Bagdad railway meant. The world would then resent the -idea of punishing Germany, but rewarding Japan.” DEMOCRACY SEEN AS UNIVERSAL. Dr. McElroy proposed as the first ele ment of a program for the society the organization of a movement to “induce every Chinese student who comes to America to pledge himself to return to China, not as an educated foreigner, speaking and thinking and feeling as an educated foreigner, and referring to the Chinese as ‘they,’ but as a loyal Chi nese determined to work for the develop ment of China as China.” “Let us plan to make him see that liberty is the true and predestined basis of all nations,” said Dr. McElroy; “that when he returns to China preaching pop ular government and. ideals of universal citizenship and education, he is not preaching American ideals, but ideals which aro as native to Asia as to Europe and America. “The Chinese are a proud people, but Uke all who have lived under despotic government, they are a deluded people. They have been led to think of these ele ments of government, -free speech, free press, free assembly and their necessary basis, universal education, as foreign elements, for they have not themselves been allowed to enjoy them. Let them once understand that in adopting free I government they are not copying Europe ior importing western ideals, and the coarse of liberalism will be made easier and swifter. CHINA HAS OWN BACKGROUND. “It should not be difficult for the re turned student to show that to set in mo tion a machine for universal education is not to cpy the west. If they go fur ther and make Greek and Latin the basis of that education, they would be copying the west. China’s natural classic bock ground is not Plato and Aristotle, but Confucius and Mencius. To abandon these for Plato and Aristotle is to copy the west, except Insofar as Plato and Aristotle deal with the elements which all races. “But progress depends not alone upon new Ideas, but upon the elimination of old ideas. 1 think I see a danger to China’s progress In the failure of the re turned student to abandon certain harm ful traditions which belong to China's past, but are not of its essence. For a thousand years, for example, the chief aim of education in China was to win of ficial position. This society can do much to convince the Chinese student that what China needs Is not more officials, but more citizeqg who are prepared to do the things ne&dful and to do them, not as officials, but as citizens. Let this •ociety work to free China of the wor ship of officialdom. Let us plan to make our Chinese students abandon the old dream of office and pledge themselves to devote their talents to the service of Chiba, as doctor or lawyer, merchant or builder, engineer or preacher, without complicating those vital duties by the ways of ‘expectant officials.’ Equipped with motion picture machines, the men of young (China can easily replace the story teller who in ovory village holds his audiences with reactionary tradi tions. They can give China back to herself by setting her again on the trails which they lost when mistaken leaders closed her ports and shut out the prog ress which human contact alone can bring.” Vice President Risks - Life for $12,000 Year WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Almost, cer tain dyspepsia, for a niggardly $12,000 a year, is narrowing the field of vice presidential possibilities in both repub lican and democratic ranks.
