EISNER DEMANDS
ENTIRE CHANGE
OF I1UIM.EADERS
Bavarian Premier . Declares
Germans Do Not Yet
Realize Degree of Their
Isolation From World.
Geneva. Saturday. Feb. 15. Kurt
Eisner, the Bavarian premier, on
his return to Munich from the re
cent socialist conference held at
Berne, made reply to attacks in the
German press concerning his speech
at Berne.
Eisner said the Germans did not
realize to what degree they were
isolated from the world and what
terrible mistrust there was of Ger
man politics outside of Germany.
The Germans, he added, did not
realize to what extent the allies con
sidered the German revolution a
pure comedy and' said that it will
be thus while the German leaders
remain the same as those who con
ducted Germany's odious war policy.
Herr Eisner demanded an entire
change of the German government
leaders.
"Balkans for Balkan Peoples"
Slogan Adopted by Jugo-Slavs
New York, Feb. 16. Recognition
of a Monroe doctrine fcr the Bal
kans "the Balkans for the Balkan
peoples" was asked of the peace
conference in resolutions adopted at
a meeting here today by Jugo-Slavs.
Asserting that Balkan troubles,
constituting a menace to the world,
had been created by attempts of out
tide powers to conquer these lands,
the resolutions asserted that ancient
foes have been exterminated as a
result of the present war, "but now
Italy, a new would-be conquerer, ap
pears on our shores."
The resolution asks therefore that
President Wilson's principle of self
determination be applied to the is
lands of the eastern iriatic, the
Croat coast lands, Istna, Trieste,
Goritza and districts in Carniola
claimed by" Italy.' a
Conciliators Fail to Settle
Trouble in Building Trades
New York, Feb. 16. Federal con
ciliators had failed tonight to effect
a settlement in the nation-wide
strike called for Monday of union
workers in all the basic building
trades employed on contracts held
by members of the Building Trades
Employers' association, but an
nounced that union leaders had
greed to submit the case to the
national war labor board.
The strike, callled ,in sympathy
with that of the Brotherhood of Car
penters, who are demanding an in
crease of $1 a day, was authorized
today by the executive council of
the building trades department of
the American Federation of Labor
and ratified later by the presidents
of the various unions.
Republican Propaganda
Being Debated at Cape Town
Cape Town, Feb. 16 Debate was
continued Saturday or. republican
propaganda, which is causing intense
interest throughout South Africa.
The veteran statesman, J. X. Mer
riman, declared the movement was
backed by nothing but the purest
political chicanery,
Minister of Justice N. J. D, Dewet
pointed out that Great Britian could
not restore to the Boer republics
their independence, as the South
Africa Union, of which the Trans
vaal and Orange Free State were
but parts, also had a voice in the
question. He concluded by paying
a tribute to the work of conciliation
of General Botha, who, he declared,
had stood by his oath.
Mrs. Catt Calls Jubilee
Suffragists' Convention
New York, Feb. 16. A call for a
"jubilee" convention of suffragists to
be held in St. Louis March 24 to 29

frage association.
Mrs. Catt said the purpose of the
convention is to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of the granting
of woman suffrage by Wyoming and
to pay a tribute to the states which
have conferred presidential suffrage
on women during the last year.
A third important feature of the
convention she said, will be the for
mation of "League of Women Vote
rs," which will organize a campaign
for national suffrage.

Revision of Diaz' Concessions
Washington, Feb. 16. Pastor
Rouaix. the Mexican secretary of
tgriculture, has ordered a revision
d? concessions granted by former
governments of Mexico,, according
to official information received here

have in these matters, I am not pre
pared to say that the German race
is beyond redemption, that it is not
our duty to endeavor to build up
that people to the decency of mem
bership in the league of nations.
There is perhaps one step outstand
ing today in their progress in that
direction more lacking than any
other, and that is total abstinenec
from any expression of regret. If
the 70,000,000 Germans were to shed
the tears of Niobe for the next
1,000 years they could not wash
away the human misery for which
they have been responsible in Bel
gium and northen France alone.
No Conversation With Civilians.
"One of the- features of the rela
tionship of our Americans with the
Germans was that they had to en
dure every hour of every day, wheth
er awake or :asleep, the personal
definite attachment of a German offi
cer. "One of the worst features of this
association was that there could be
no conversation. between the Ameri
cans and the civil population excej5
in the presence of an officer and
such conversations were required to
be confined to the mere routine of
the revictualling. Some of our men
were escorted out of the country on
a German . order for an expression
of the merest human kindliness.
"When. the United States came
into the war, it was necessary for
the relief commission to retreat out
of th north of France and secure
the assistance of neutrals. By that
time the organization had been built
upon until it required no interven
tion in its administrative features,
but merely guardianship.
"I am happy to say that there never
has been a case, or 'even a sugges
tion of dishonest dealing. - Beyond
this, from the point view of the ad
ministrator there has been that fi
delity to duty that carefulness as to
detail and conciseness of thought and
action which should stand out as a
monument to the abilities of the
French people for all time.
Suffer' From Apathy.
"The occupied popn'ation, after
four years of endurance, has come
out alive and in good health. It is,
however, suffering from a very nat
ural mental apathy and it will be
months before it recovers its initial
activity, that activity cf mind and
self-reliance, so inherent in the
French people. You cannot expect
men who have suffered years of im
prisonment under continuous ct'uelty
and terror to resume their mental
activities, their energy and abilities
in their daily tasks, until they have
had a period of acclimatization to
their new surroundings, and a grad
ual resurrection of courage and ini
tiative. The consequence is that
the population in the north requires
not only physical assistance, l)ut
moral stimulation and leadership for
gradually nursing them back through
convalescence.
"The task of the care of the peo
ple and of the reconstruction of the
north is appalling. The preparation
of plans of projects, of means of
material by which reconstruction
can be constituted on an enduring
basis takes time for development. It
requires the assembling of vast fi
nances and material and no people
will accomplish it with the thor
oughness of the French.''
Result is Vital.
"This ultimate result is vital, but
in the meantime the population must
have every care. The Anglo-Saxon
mind naturally tends to a solution
of the problems of the day and, if I
an allowed to make one suggestion,
it is that there is need of more
Anglo-Saxon adaptability tc the
temporary measures projected for
northern France today and during
the next months. There is a depth
of human misery that requires ur
gent remedy day by day in tempor
ary shelter and medical attention as
well as food.
J'One of the first act3 of the Ger
mans was to denude the people of
Belgium to a very large extent and
the norh of France almost wholly
of their cattle. In consequence, it
has been necessary to maintain a
stream of condensed milk and other
food, especially for children of the
first four years. These races are
absolutely dependent fcr the rearing
of their young on their cattle. There
is no cruelty to the population great
er than to rob them of their dairy

, In speaking of the principle of
saivice. the other thought in con
nection with the doctrine of' Ro-
tarians, he said this was enunciated
by the man who was called a servant
of God. "And Moses was a true
son of God. He taught us to love
dur neighbors as we love ourselves,
and to do unto others as we would
have thein do by us.
"This is a platform upon which all
of us can stand."
Rev. Smith's eloquent tribute to
President Wilson prompted a burst
of applause. "Though I did not
vote for him, I am, prom! today that
I am a citizen of the country in
wnicn vvoodrow Wilson is presi
dent, lie asserted. I he principles
which this great man hasibreathed
into the foundation of the league of
nations arc the greatest ever pro
mulgated in the history of the
world." ' .
Dr. Smith declared that the Ro
tary -membership was united in an
antagonistic attitude towards any
thing like the recent outbreaks on
the Pacific coast. "We emerged
from a period of unusual progress
into a conflict which called for
10,000,000 men, billions of dollars
and a multiude of wrecked homes.
The prophets now tell us there is
a new day coming. This is be
lieved to be true by thinking men all
over .the world. Nothing will be the
same as it was. Educational sys
tems, religious systems and business
systems are to be reconstructed.
And there has got to be framed
soon an industrial program to solve
problems like that which recently
threatened on the toast.
Greatest of All Questions.
"With our problems of produc
tion and distribution solved, the
greatest of all questions looms up
big and dangerous for the attention'
of those whose duty is to serve and
to lead. The machine must be
geared so that every turn of the
wheel will make for character for
men and women."
Dr. Spaith declared that a new day
in religion was coming also. He
said there was too much cereTiiony
in matters of religion today. "Many
persons have been brought to think
of the church as a cold storage
plant for saints," he said. "When
in fact the church hould be a great
school where we should learn to
love God and each other. We will
have to be a little more united when
this new day for religion comes."

Frc: i Three Vessels
at New York.
New York, Feb. 16. The United
States cruiser Huntington and the
transports Matsonia and Louisville
docked here today debarking 7,101
officers and enlisted men of the
American expeditionary fore?. The
steamers Dante Algihieri, with 1,538
officers and men aboard, and the
Sixaola with 47, reported off the
coast by wireless and were expected
to arrive tonight. ;
The Matsonia had the largest
passenger list, composed of 3,345 of
ficers and men, including the Sixty
eighth coast artillery, made up of
former national guardsmen from
Connecticut and several western
states and casual companies from
Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey, New
York, Iowa, Massachusetts, Wash
ington and Alabama. .
On board the Huntington were
more than 1,700 officers and men of
the Forty-first division!, comprising
former national guard organizations
from Washington, Oregon, Mon
tant, Idaho and Wyoming. These
included the supply company, mach
ine gun compajiy, third battalion
headquarters and companies I, K, L,
and M of the One Hundred Sixty
third infantry of the Forty-first di

the sick-bay.
Little Road Building
Done Though Federal
Aid Is Now Available
Washington, Feb. 16 Although
congress has appropriated $48,500,
000 to assist the states in road build
ing and the government has ap
proved 760 projects, embracing a
total of 7,689 miles, less than 45
miles of highway have been con
constructed , under the federal aid
plan. These figures were made pub
lic tonight' by the Department of
Labor as part ot its campaign to
stimulate revival of public works
construction as an offset to unem
ployment. Although federal aid for slate
roads has been available since 1917,
only eight states report road pro
jects, involving federal aid, com
pleted, the statement said Arkansas
has completed one project of 5.5
miles, California two of 6.7 miles and
Washington 6ne of 3.5 miles.
Admitting that road materials and
labor costs are high, the department
asserted that the expense of road
building to the states will not be
prohibitive because the federal ap
propriations will cover one-half.
Secretary Daniels Is
Profoundly Impressed
by League Covenant
New York, Feb. 16. Honest
doubters of the feasibility of the
league of nations plan will come

promise across the sky," Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy, de
clared in an address here today, at
a meeting which marked the formal
opening of the interchurch emer
gency campaign.
"The agreement on the league's
constitution," Secretary Daniels de
clared, was an event in the world's
history, "second onfy to the declara
tion of the shepherds of Bethlehem,
'We have seen His star in the East
and have come to worshio.' "
"Posterity," he declarsd, "will ap-
piaude the forward looking states
manship of Woodrow Wilson, who
had a . large part in in?piring and
fashioning this immortal document
and the distinguished and ardent
lover of peace, William Howard
Taft, who is abundant in labors and

Paris, Feb. 16. Sir Robert L.
Borden, premier of Canada, speaking
to Canadian soldiers on leave' at the
Canadian Y. M. C. A., demanded that
the soldiers be told immediately
whether there was to be any more
fighting. He severely criticised the
methods by which time had been
wasted since the signing of the armi
stice. Sir Robert said:
"More than three months have
elapsed since the armistice was
declared and le.t us not flatter our
selves that our soldiers believe no
time has been wasted. They are
amazed at the extremely deliberate
methods employed and at some of
the subjects upon which time has
been spent. They know, and before
God they have a right to know with
out one moment's unnecessary delay
whether there is to be further fight
ing and if so, for what purpose.
"This is the urgent, stern, impera
tive demand to those to whose un
sparing sacrifice and enduring valor
the peace conference owes its au
thority and must consecrate its lab
ors. The soldiers did not palter with
the purpose for which they went
forth. They expect the diplomats to
follow their "example." 'r

mental principles of a league of na
tions between the French dclegatet
and the delegates of the other pow
ers," said Prof. Ferdinand Larnaude
dean of the Paris law faculty anci
one of the French delegates on the
league of nations commission, today
"The only differences of opinion
were those expressed yesterday by
Leon Bourgeois, with whom I air
completely in accord. We do not
seek an international army for the
purpose of making war, but for the
purpose of preventing it.
"Further disturbances of tht
world's peace will come from Ger
many alone. Germany's unsatiated
greedy appetite, her lust for powet
and domination, will return as soon
as she feels strong enough to re
new her aggressions. Inasmuch a
Germany some day will be admitted
to the league of nations, what M.
Bourgeois and myself objected to
was the necessity of being placed
in the position of taking Germany's
word for anything.
Desire Guarantees.
"We have every confidence in the
undertakings of the United States,
Great Britain, Italy and all other
members of a league of nations.
We are willing to accept their word,
but we desired in the future to avoid
the possibility of having no other
guarantee than Germany's engage
ment tor our safety
"Henceforth Germany will strive
to develop her recent chemical dis
coveries and devise new ones and
new means of destruction in which
gunpowder, cannon and rifles will
not enter.
"These means of destruction
may easily be consolidated and
therefore it is not possible for us
to accept the declaration of an in
terested nation in such matter.?,
when the interested nation is Ger
many." Professor Larnaude added that
with new developments in aerial
warfare Germany might prepare ,
secretly sufficient air forces to de
stroy Paris in one day.
Want Protection.
Referring to the international
army which the French desired
formed, Professor Larnaude says:
"What we. asked for was not an
international army in the strict
sense of the word. We are too
grateful for what America did for
us in the present war to expect that
she would again send her men by
hundreds of thousands to future
wars. But perhaps we meant the
protection of America's great fleet.
We thought it unfair that Franco!
should have to keep a huge stand
ing arrny to protect herself from
Germany's attacks.
"It will be hard financially. It wi,M
be harder because of our depleted
young manhood, after losing a mill
ion and a half men during the war."
Asked if the matter of the forma
tion of an international army would
be brought up again, Professor Lar
naude replied that he was unable to
say.
In conclusion, Professor Larnaude
said: "Upon one thing, however, all
the delegates are fully agreed. It is
that your president is blessed with
a most amiable disposition. He pre
sides over the sessions with great
dignity and equanimity, even during
the most trying discussions and we
wish him God-speed and a prompt,
return.''
