Ball Conference.
New York, Jan. 14. Among fea
tures of the week of base ball recon
struction which began here today
the most important were:
The New York National league
club, the best paying one in the
Major league, was sold.
Negotiations for the purchase of
the St. Louis Nationals reached a
stage where it appeared as though
the property soon would change
hands.
The major and minor 'leagues
took lengthy council and strength
ened their hands for the battle for
and against the elimination of the
draft. ;-
Tulsa to Be in Western-
In the midst of the base ball hubbub
the board of arbitration of the Na
tional Association of Professional
leagues this afternoon disposed of a
number of cases, the principal one
being the awarding of Tulsa, Okl.,
territory to the Western league with
a club assured from either Topeka
or Hutchinson (or Tulsa, while
Portland and Seattle are sajd to be
slated for the Pacific Coast league
again, after a few technicalities are
cleared up.
Great interest was displayed in the
change of control of the New York
Giants and John J. McGraw, now
vice-president, and his new partners,
Charles A. Stoneham and Judge
Frances X. McQuade, were kept
busy all day receiving congratula
tions of base ball magnates and fans,
both in this city and other points
along the big and little circuits.
. Though McGraw is vice-president,
lie intends to continue as manager.

Insidious Propaganda Is
Being Conducted in France
Against Ideas of Wilson
- -
Criticisms of President in United States Being, Used in
Press of Paris. Intimate That Wilson is Inex
. perienced in Ways of World and Dele
gates May, Have German Taint. .
(BY NABOTH HEDIN.)
(Staff Correspondent of Universal Service)
(Special Cable Dispatch.)
Paris, Jan. 14. Illustrative of the surreptitious campaign against
president Wilson on the part of certain elements in Paris to which
United State Senator .Owen refers in his dispatch to Universal Service
are several insidious "digs" in this week's issue of Le Crl de Paris, the
nrinrinal nrffan nf nrtlitiral crtssin-
The paper first quotes th late Colonel Roosevelt as saying that "Wit
son never traveled enough, and that travels oeveiop youtn, ana irom
every view point Wilson is marvelously young." And then it discusses
the personnel of the American peace commission. It says nothing
against Secretary of Stat? Lansing, but after characterizing Col. Edward
M. House as the "president's personal friend," Le Crl de Paris continues:
Two other designations pub--
lished caused considerable surprise.
That of "General Tasker yon Bliss'
is not yet explained. i
Henry Whites appointment is
justified by saying that he repre
sents the republican element, but
the republicans emphasize that Mr.
White, a former ambassador, never
participated in active politics and
some are surprised that the only
republican judged worthy to repre
sent the United States should be
the father-in-law of a German of
ficer." Insinuation Held Unjust.
It is stated in American circles
that this insinuation is most un-
lust. sinze Mr. White's daughter
J was married here in Paris while her
'I f . 1 1 J 1 - T?
laincr was amuassiuur io name,
long before the war, when the
United ,Stats and Germany were
friendly.
The classification of General Bliss
name, giving it a Teutonic aspect
by the prefix of "von" is considered
hardly less deplorable.
While neither of the above dele
gates deigns to answer such attacks,
their publication causes surprise in
American circles where more re
straint is being practiced concerning
French domestic affairs.
Hostility to Wilson Is Not
Effective, Thinks Senator
(BY ROBERT L. OWEN)
(United States Senator From Okla.)
(Special Cable Dispatch.)
Taris, Jan. 14. Reactionary ele
ments in Paris carry on a quiet
propaganda, verbally, against Presi
dent Wilson, trying to discredit him
and the league-of-nations plan. They
are using hostile expressions uttered
in the United states senate to sup
port their contention that Mr. Wil
son does not represent the Ameri
can opinion.
I cannot believe this propaganda
will accomplish substantial results
because the body of opinion in Great
Britain, France and Italy favors an
ending of all war. welcoming any
concrete means toward accomplish
ing this.
League Comes First
I do not doubt that the principles
of a league of nations will be es
tablished first, even before the peace
terms are actually written or agreed
upon, since the principles of the set
tlement are greatly affected by con
ditions which must necessarily ob
tain under the proposed league.
It is. impossible iirst to make a
peace treaty which violates the prin
ciples of justice and humanity and
then to attempt to nail it down
with a league of nations. I feel sure
that the controlling authorities of
Great Britain and United States en
tertain similar ideas regarding the
necessity of establishing a league
first.
Perplexing problems arise as to
how Germany, and Austria will be
able to meet the vast amount of in
demnities proposed in the accounts
prepared against them by the in
vaded nations. .
For example, Austria is divided
into various subordinate nations.
Part of Austria is attached to Po
land, part to the Jugo-Slavs, Czechs
and other autonomies under the pro
tection of a world league.
Question of Indemnities.
The question 'arises to what ex
tent the new governments will be
subjected to the tremendous indem
nities id required to repair the
damage.
Unavoidably and inevitably the
atrocities committed by the Ger
mans and Austrians, their wanton
destruction of cities and "country
sides, and personal barbarities in
ravishing women and killing chil
dren have aroused feelings so vio
lent and passionate antagonism
among the people of the entente,
who insist upon the severest mater
ial punishment.
The practical question arises as
to whether barbarities are punish
able by taxing whole peoples with
indemnities which evidently it will
be impossible to collect A choice
is necessary between a peace of re
venge and a peace of justice and
humanity, based , on economic pru
dence. The Germans' and Austrians abil
ity to pay is limited, which limit is
equivalent to their productive ca
pacity after allowing the people a
sufficient amount to maintain life
and gratify their reasonable desire
of economic liberty and progress.
Boycott Unwise.
From the passionate resentment
against the enemies arises the cry
that nothing made in Germany shall
be allowed to be sold abroad, that
Germany shall have no raw mater
ials and that indemnities shall be
imposed to the extreme, limit of the
productive capacity of the German
people.
It is justly regarded as fair and
right that Germany should be se
verely punished - for its crimes
against civilization. But since it is
unable to pay its obligations in gold
it must necessarily pay its obliga
tions in commodities, in products
of labor or invention, in such com
monplace things as chemicals, dyes,
potash and manufactured goods of
all sorts.
Saying that Germany will not have
raw materials and no foreign mar
kets while being compelled to pay
billions in repairing the damages it
has wrought, is to insist upon it
going northwards and southwards
at the same time.
Simple Economic Principle.
I do not fear that there will be
sufficient wisdom displayed at the
peace conference fully to compre
hend this simple economic principle.
Moreover, it is not necessary to tear
that great nations, having fought
and won avgreat war for establish
ing the doctrine of right and hu
manity will be misguided by hate
to violate this doctrine at the first
great opportunity afforded them for
establishing sound orinciolea for the
future guidance of civilization.
Apart from the question of justice,
prudent men are not wanting who
realize that 75,000,000 people, trained
in industrial life and educated to
think and act efficiently can be anni-
pnatea by a decree of peace contam-

ing in itself injustice and inhumani
ty It would be the height of folly if
by injustice and mismanagement the
peace conference planted -"Seeds for
future wars by decisions creating
several Alsaces and Lorraines slum
bering for future settlement.
But the world may rely upon it
that the conference will not make
this blunder. The men assembled
in Taris, respresenting the different
nations, have the wisdom and the
vision to avoid this. They will solve
the vexinjr problems arigirf.
People Would Rise.
Even if their decisions should
prove that they lack the needed wis
dom it is certain that thepeople
of America, Britain, France, Italy,
and the smaller nations would not
submit to such leadership or ap
prove terms that would inevitably
bring them into another war.
Any leaders failing to recognize
the conscience and the thought of
civilized men at this critical moment
in history would be repudiated by
their countrymen; their verdict
would be reversed, and the leaders
would be replaced by rhen truly rep
lesentative who would give effect to
the highprinciples of humanity for
which the American and allied sol
diers died.
But it is only just that the devas
tated areas should be rebuilt and
furnished with the goods stolen and
carried off as loot by Germany and
Austria and that honest reparation
should be made as far as is humanly
possible. I am sure that to this de
gree reparation will be exacted by
the conference.
