Just Where Terrace Park as Its Keynote. It Shows Y Is f V IN UNISON WITH BRITAIN Needs Peace, but Her Alliances and German Peril Forbid Disarming Favors Permanent Tribunal. America as a Peacemaker. PARIS. June 7. Speaking in the Cham ber of Deputies this afternoon, Foreign Minister Pichon defended France's post tlon at The Hague peace conference as one of moderation and conciliation. M. de Pressense, Socialist, who presented an interpellation on this subject, urged it to wie auiy or tne republic to take an auvancea position in favor of the reduc tion of armaments. He suggested that this be accomplished either by proposing nmi eacn country maintain a peace army in proportion to its population, or that each be assigned a maximum sum for military expenditures. The government, the Foreign Minister repuea. naa Deen urged to force the ques tion of compulsory arbitration; it asked nothing better, and as for the greater limitation of armaments, the United States, Great Britain and Spain had an nounced their purpose to submit proposi tions to this end. The French govern- wuum wuiingiy participate in the discussions, but In order to arrive at any result a concrete formula must be unani mously adopted. Such a formula had not een iouna. and unanimity was still further away. The Chamber unanimously approved the Minister's declaration. Perhaps none of the gTeat European powers, with the possible exception of -u-.j. win enter tne .Hague conferen 'i.ittiBQ man trance. a re- mo oi peace is essential for the solu tlnn of the great economic and r,,.tnii. ml problems her statesmen are under- titKiuff io soivc at home.

Almost every Frenchman feels vaguely but surely that some time France will again have to confront Germany on the nmticnein. -rne memory of the acute sir- uiitinn preceding the Algeclras conference " rresn In the minds of those con ducting the government and they feel ag gressively in the mood that to champion anything in the direction of reduction or liinit.ilion of armaments would be to snow a weakness that might encourage her old foe to aggression. Moreover, to a K-sscr ex lent the government must reckon with a certain revengeful and militant spirit in her people which mani- lests itself by keeping fresh flowers for ever on the statues of the lost provinces or Alsace and Lorraine, and never gets urea or talking or revenge. But above all the French government must consider the international obliga tions sno lias contracted with foreign powers, her alliance with Russia and her series of ententes with Britain, Italy and Spain, which are now to be supplemented by a similar convention with Japan. The alliances and friendships entered into originally to protect her from the spectre of t?ermany and since extended In the Interest of peace, have now made her a member of an international combination which In a congress of nations such as will meet at The Hague divests her of freedom of action. She is naturally com pelled to consult the wishes of her allies and friends as a private man Is forced to take into consideration the views of his partners and business associates. Will Act Willi Her Allies. At present the controlling ana dominat ing spirit of the combination to which France belongs is Kngland. English alms and English policies are tnererore likely to be most largely reflected whenever the members of the combination can reach a common attitude upon the larger issues at The Hague. . And for weeks and months London has been in Intimate exchange with the Chan cellors of Paris and her other Continental friends with a view of presenting a united front upon the main questions. France's attitude on the Drago doctrine, the im munity of private property at Pea. the convention to be elaborated on maritime warfare, including the rights of neutrals, contraband, the right to destroy ships enptured. the laying of floating mines, etc., directly inscribed upon the Russian programme are necessarily therefore de termined most by the results of these ex changes. Support Roosevelt's Scheme. lTpon one point possibly the most Im portant France's position will be une oulvocal. She will firmly advocate the ex tension of the principle of arbitration, compulsory where possible, with the championing of everything such an atti tude involves.

Vhile Husband and Son Are Permit ted to Knter Reservation, Mrs. Ayres, who I-ilves Outside, Cannot Visit Them. WEST rOINT, N. T.. June ".In the absence of her husband, who had gone to New York for the day. Mrs. Elizabeth Fairfax Ayres declined today to discuss the details of the suit for damages w-hlch it Is said she Is about to bring against several of the high officers at the United States Military Academy. Mrs. Ayres said the case now Is In the hands of a New York lawyer and the formal papers in the suit soon will be served. If the case comes to trial H is believed that some Interesting sidelights will be thrown on the social life at the academy. Xew Order of Procedure. Under ordinary circumstances any mis understandings in which the officers of the academy or their wives might be come involved would be threshed out be for a court-martial and the testimony never would be published. Tn this case, however, appeal is to be made to the civil courts, and any testimony probably would be given In public. Mrs. Ayres is the wife of Lieutenant- Colonel Charles G. Ayres, who returned Saturday on leave of absence following duty in the Philippines, and is now sta tioned at the academy. She resides just outside the reservation, in Highland Falls, and under a recent order issued upon request of the academy officials, Mrs. Ayres is denied the privilege of visiting the academy grounds. Wife Only Kept Out. The order of prohibition,, which is said to have a large place in Mrs.' Ayres' com plaint in, support of her suit for damages, does no't apply to her husband or to her son, who is a cadet at the academy. The order of prohibition against Mrs. Ayres. which was Issued before her husband had returned from the Philippines, followed a long period of misunderstanding be tween Mrs. Ayres and the academy of ficials. The facts are disputed, and it is be lieved that interesting testimony may be Introduced by both sides to the contention should the cae come to trial.

June 7. ex Lieutenant Mack Richardson, of the Twenty-sixth United States Infantry, died late tonight at the hospital at Fort Sam Houston, as the result of an overdose of poisonous drugs. An nouncement of the acceptance of Rich ardson's resignation was made publlo yesterday. Richardson, who has been ill for some time, was found today in an in sensible condition, lying; across his bed partially dressed. He was immediate ly removed to the hospital, -where it was discovered by the physicians that he had taken morphine and then fol lowed it with a dose of Prusslc acid. A search of his quarters confirmed this. Mr. Richardson left a note, saying: "To whom It may concern: This action has been Inevitable since last November." The letter gave certain directions as to whom to notify. Mr. Richardson was born In Tennes see, December lfi, 1869. He was ap pointed to the Regular Army from Missouri. He is a widower, with two children, and his family live in Mis souri. Richardson was to have married re cently a Miss Kelly, of Brownsville, Texas, daughter of a prominent citizen- The gniests assembled to witness the ceremony, but the bridegroom did not appear.

The United States Circuit Court today overruled the excep tions to the bill of complaint of the Unit ed States against the Standard Oil Com pany and the defendant is granted leave to answer as to portions of the bill to which it had filed exceptions. The overruling of the company's bill of exceptions to portions of the Govern ment's complaint that the Standard Oil Company is a trust conspiring and oper ating in restraint of trade is a first vic tory for the Government. The Govern ment by today's decision has opportunity to bring evidence tending to show that the present Standard Oil holding corpora tion is but a continuance of the previous trust combination, which existed from 1882 to 1S99.

WHITEWASH FOR LEOPOLD IiEPORT OS CONGO STATE CON CEALS WORST FACTS. Tax Payment In Labor Called Hu mane Denies King Edward En riched by Blood of Natives. BRUSSELS, June 7. The report on the economical and political situation in the Congo Independent State demanded by the Parliamentary Commission was made public today. It consists of a volume of 240 pages, but Is not satisfactory In Impor tant points. It maintains that the "crown domain" is perfectly legal. The most interesting chapter, devoted to a refutation of the charges of mal administration on the part of the govern ment of the Congo, says that the officials have not forgotten the liberties pro claimed by the Berlin convention, defends the system by which negroes pay taxes in labor, declares that it is as humane as the collection of Belgian government taxes and asserts that they take no more than the natives are able to pay. "To ask the payment of taxes in moneyr" the report continues, "would create a revolt. The report protests against the accusa tion that King Leopold has enriched him self at the price of the blood of the na tives, saying: 'The King sacrificed everything for the Congo and has obtained no profit from tne African possessions. The financial exhibit which Parliament particularly desired is lacking from the report, which only says that the finances of the Congo are normal and satisfactory and concludes with a protest against the charge that the state Is exporting negroes for commercial purposes, adding: "The government has nothing to con ceal, but wishes to remain completely in dependent."
