What to Do Witt? Them.
DISAGREE ABOUT GERMANY
French Oon't Like Lloyd George's
"Economic Pressure" Ideas Admin
istration Qets Two Slaps in State
Primaries Senator Johnson
Wins In Nebraska.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
With President Wilson, and conse
quently the United States, represented
only by an "observer" In the person of
Ambassador Johnson, tho allied su
premo council in session at San Ilemo
decided that Turkey should bo sliced
up to a considerable extent, and that
"Germany must observe the treaty
terms. , As general propositions that
Bounded all right, hut when It came to
the necessary details there was woe
ful vagueness, so for as the corre
spondents could lenrn. Take the case
of Turkey. The treaty with that coun
try was substantially completed and
the Turkish representatives notified
to be In Paris on May 10 to accept
The "big three" decided that seven
big pieces should be severed from the
sultan's empire Armenia, Mesopota
mia, Clllcla, Syria, Palestine, Georgia
and Azerheldjan but tho future of
these territories Is left for tho future
to determine. No one of the nations
of Europe so far has signified a will
ingness to accept a mandnte for any
part of Asia Minor, though several of
them are determined to cling to ports
and zones of Influence. The League of
Nations declined to take charge of Ar
menln because It has neither the
money nor the means of action. The
United States, on which the Armenians
rolled and which they still hope will
come to tlielr rescue, can do nothing at
present. When Great Hrltaln,' France
and Italy are able to act ns a unit, or
when the league of nations Is able to
function, the destiny of the small na
tions freed from the Turk may be set
tled. Meanwhile Turkey Is merely re
quired to relinquish sovereignty over
them, as was tho enso with Austria
nnd tho regions along the Adriatic.
Tho supremo council, It Is said, will
ttsk Sweden and Norway to help the
Armenians to establish a free stale,
nnd from Amsterdam comes the news
that the Dutch would be willing to
take over that Job. If necessary, Can
nda Is willing to accept the inundate,
Lord Curzon says.
Politely disregarding President Wil
son's protest, the allied premiers have
decided t lint the sultnn shall be. per
mitted to retnln Constantinople,
though tlio Dardanelles aro to be in
ternationalized and other precautions
will be taken to render him harmless
there. His territory will not extend
far Into Kurope, for Adrlanople nnd
Klrk-Klllso are given to Greece, as Is
Ualllpoll though It will be controlled
by allied forces. The only outlet to
the Aegean for Hulgarla will bo Do
deagatcli, which will he governed by
in international commission.
There are now In Turkey some 200,
DOO allied troops nnd Greece Is In n
position to send heavy reinforcements,
io It Is believed the Turks will do
whatever the allies require,
In tho matter of enforcing the tren
ty with Germany the discord among
the allied premiers Is especially
marked. They all agree that the Ger
mans must observe the terms of the
pact, and have so notified Herlln. Hut
what steps shall be taken In case the
Germans aro disobedient? There's the
rub. Lloyd George Insists that eco
nomic pressure, In the form of cutting
off supplles-of food and materials, will
tie sufllcleut, and lu this he has hud
the support of Nlttl. Mllleraud, on the
other hand, asserts that military ac
tion, such as the French took recently
In tho matter of the llubr region, Is
the proper method and Indeed the only
nethod that will make the Germans
behave. Hacked by the political, press
and public opinions of France, be
says Germany must bo compelled to
carry out her pledges to the limit, and
he does not believe she will do this un
less she knows the penalty for eva
sion will be the military occupation of
more German territory.
At this distance one Is Inclined to
sympathize with the French view.
Since it Is perfectly easy for Germany
to get food from the neighboring neu
tral countries with the enthusiastic co
operation of their merchants, and raw
materials from the same and other
sources, Lloyd George's pressure prob
ably would be farcical In a measure.
The Germans have not carried out the
terms of disarmament, and now they
nre formnlly asking that they bo per
mitted to retain an army of 200,000
with the entire general staff and .'orps
of odicers. They assert that this force
Is necessary to maintain order In the
Interior, nnd that, anyway, tho army
will not accept an order for Its dissolu
tion. The French, like many others,
probably look with skepticism on the
frequently returrlng "revolutions" In
Germany, nnd certainly they feel that
the Gennuns nre not to be trusted for
a minute. The Hrltlsh view of the
treaty of Versailles differs radically
from that of the French, nnd If the
Lloyd George government has Its wny
that pact will before long be greatly
modified In favor of tlio beaten foe.
Franco Is neither so forgiving nor so
eager for trade that she wishes to re
store Germnny speedily to her old com
mercial status.
Despite existing differences and tho
hopes of Herlln, It Is probable the al
lied premiers will come to an amicable
understanding before; long. Indeed
Hint result may hnve been reached be
fore this review reaches the reader. It
Is Impossible to guess what will be
the Influence of President Wilson's
views In the setfle'iaent of the pend
ing problems.
The proclamation of an Independent
republic In Siberia east of Lake Hal
kal may serve to simplify conditions
there, and It Is believed It will be rec
ognized by the soviet government at
Moscow. In that case there would be
left little excuse for further occupa
tion of Siberian territory by the Jap
anese or any other foreign nation.
Since President Wilson bus mnde
the ponce treaty a main Issue of the
campaign, It must be admitted that he
suffered two rather severe set-hacks
In the state primaries of last week.
In Nebraska, WlJUam Jennings Hry
an, advocate of reservations, was
elected a delegate to the conve'ntion In
San Francisco, despite the utmost en
deavors of Senator Hitchcock and the
administration forces to keep him at
home. The prohibition question en
tered largely Into the light, for Hrynr
hnd declared Ids Intention of putting
a bone-dry plank In the Democratic
platform and of routing the faction,
led by Governor Kdwards, which fa
vors the modification of the prohibi
tion legislation so that the use of mild
ly nlcohollc drinks may be restored.
Hitchcock had openly sided with the
Kdwards view. The Peerless One doe
not- Intend that his party shall side
step the matter. The result in Nebras
ka was affected by the action of vast
numbers of women who, though not
formerly active members of the Dem
ocratic party, registered as Democrat
so as to vote for Hryiin and dryness.
Senator Hitchcock was given the
stale's preferential vote for the presi
dency, whatever that m'ay be worth.
Tho other blow to the administration
forces was delivered by the Democrats
of Georgia, where support of tho "pres
ident and his ponce treaty policy was
the main Issue. To be sure Attorney
General Palmer, leading the Wilson
contingent and standing for uncondi
tional acceptance of the treaty, was
victorious: but Senator Hoke Smith,
supporter of ratification with reserva
tions, and Tom Watson, opponent of
the treaty and league covenant, to
gether received n vote nearly twice
that given Palmer. Watson led Palm
er In the popular vote by several thou
sand. It seems the treaty as It stands
Is not really popular In Georgia, and
tho same Is true In other parts of the
south.
Senator Hiram Johnson, whose p re

supported Hitchcock, went Into tho
Republican primaries almost solidly
for Johnson, and that he nlso was giv
