rf.rrii?i( the N"w Tork "World. Pub
lished br Arrangement.)
COBLENZ. Germany. Feb. 16. (Spe
cial Cable.) The army of occupation
Is beginning; to ait up and take notice
of the peace conference, since n - "
special Interest in getting home in the
quickest possible time lemj to the
army to be intimately affected by
every petty motive for procrastination.
The army of occupation ia thinking
nrf t.lklr-r foreign Dolitica in un
printable terms and la leaving no doubt
in its hearers minds that the army
maintains its Americanism 100 per cent
pure and uninfluenced by propaganda
from any source, uareiui sounaing 01
public opinion in the army warrants
the conclusion that the troops are
enua.-ely behind President Wilson in
the conference negotiation.
"Wilson knows what he's doing." is
a typical opinion heard today, and
"they won't put anything over on Wil
inn, is another.
Army peace conference fans are now
playing no favorites except their own
country. With the sole burning desire
to cet home quickly, the army is in
no mood to compromise with any na
tion's sclflnh interests, particularly as
it U Imbued with a vivid consciousness
of Americans disinterestedness. The
army wants to see a Just peace prevail
speedJy. and pungent opinions are ex
pressed about statesmen and diplomats
who attempt to noin up tne peace ex
press with clashing claims of special
tnterests.
The army of occupation has Its ear to
the cround and catches the faintest
thought-provoking echo from Paris,
while the slightest change in any na
t ion's attitude toward America and
Americans is quick to reach the
Rhine front and moid public opinion
of the douehboys and officers alike.
How closely the Jaien of the third
army are following the doings behind
the scenes of the peace conference is
Illustrated by an unfounded rumor ap
parently bred by the reports of fresh
armistice negotiations, to the effect
that all combat divisions which were
doped to go home in the near future
would be held here indefinitely. Noth
lng official Is known here, of course,
of any orders countermanding the
preparations for taking home the
fortunate combat divisions, which It is
believed ill be first in lino to move.

CAREER OF FCXD-JUGGLER IS
LIRE BIT FROM FICTIOJf.
Man Who Eluded Officer by Leap
From Train Is Rearrested
bjr Same Detect itc.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16. For six months
Anton Zalatorious, for whom the po
lice ' have been searching since he
leaped from a passengrer train in North
Dakota last July 6. while handcuffed
and clad only in underwear, has been
working in a Chicago bank. But he
was rearrested Saturday and his
career of juggling bank records and
setting bankers and officials to fum
ing temporarily stopped.
Zalatorious, who is 24 years of age,
a Lithuanian, who came from Russia six
yeara ago, diaappeared from a bank
where he was employed as a ledger
clerk Immediately after a confederate
had withdrawn an account originally
started with 1100. and increased by a
worthless check for $40,000 before the
fraud was detected. The "depositor."
Charles Kochenes, was arrested in San
Francisco with $5000, and subsequently
was paroled.
Zalatorious enrolled at Cheyenne
River academy at Harvey. N. D- bought
an automobile, and soon eloped with
the daughter of a Hebron farmer, but
they were caught at Glendive. HonU on
July 1. He was known at Harvey as
"Alexander Palmer," and but for an
impudent remark to the mayor of
Dogden. N. D., the day of his arrest,
might have been released. The Dogdcn
officials, however, sent out descriptions
of the prisoner and the Chicago police
sent for him only to result in his escape.
A month later Zalatorious returned to
Chicago under another name, obtained
work tn a bank and soon had a $4300
account in another institution by
means of checks filched from his place
of employment.
The two banks are now involved In a
legal action to determine which is re
sponsible for payment of the diverted
checks. Zalatorious was caught by the
same detective from whom he escaped.
Drastic Military Step Puts

LONDON', Feb. 15. (Special Wireless
Dispatch.) Troops and machine guns
are; guaranteeing the use of the mu
nicipal electric power 6tation and gas
works in Belfast today. It is a drastic
military step which puts a crimp In
the power wielded by the Belfast soviet.
wnich. lor the duration of the strike
In this stronghold of Carsonism, has
been tolerated. If Dublin had been the
scene of such a strike there are few
Irishmen who believe the military
would not have Intervened long since.
Apart from its political aspects, the
vote of the strikers to reject the em
ployers offer brought about a grave
situation. The amalgamated union of
labor there has appealed to its strikers
to conduct the strike peacefully, de
spite the provocation of the appearance
of the military.
Lloyd George Takes Vp Big Task. .
As was expected, on his return
here Premier Lloyd George has imme
diately taken up the great labor prob
lem. To handle it successfully will tax
nim to tne utmost.
The war-time truce of labor has been
abandoned completely. Labor will tol
erate no delay in carrying out the big
programme for the betterment of con
ditions that has been promised. The com
ing week is lull of possibilities. There
is now a deadlock in the negotiations
with the transport workers' federation,
representing 250.000 dock, wharf and
riverside workers. The employers' at
tempt to compromise with a 48-hour
week aa compared with the men's de
mand for 44 hours has been ineffectual.
partly because the port of London au-
thoritiea raised some question about
the differentiation of wares as between
London and provincial ports. The min
ers, having rejected the government's
offer, are expected to decide to strike
by next Saturday, although the strike
itself is scheduled for a month hencej
Workers Growing Restive.
Negotiations still continue with the
railway workers, but the workers are
growing restive under the delay. In
the meantime there is widespread agi
tation Dy all classes of workers for a
food controller, whose appointment
would permit the alleged huge stores
of food to be dumped on the market.
This Is demanded in the belief that
it will Immediately cause a reduction
of the cost of living and thereby stabil
ize the labor situation until the ques
tion of hours and wages can be ad
justed. One other turn which the strike fever
has taken in the last few days is that
the dock workers of several porta are
refusing to load whisky onto outgoing
vessels, D. cause or the poor and re
duced quantities at the disposal of the
British public. In one instance yester
day dockworkers refused to load 250.-
000 quarts of whisky for export. It
is now xeared that such a movement
may spread to the export of foodstuffs
to the continent. The workers may
decide that If there is enough to be
exported there ought to be enough
available in this country to reduce
prices.

BELGIANS FIGURE DAMAGE
Nearly 1000 Miles of Railway De
stroyed by German Troops.
PARIS, Feb. 16. The Belgian com
mission investigating the damage done
by the Germans to railroads in occu
pied territory, while it has not yet fin
ished Us work, is in a position to give
interesting figures relative to the de
struction caused by the Germans. The
figures Bhow that nearly 6S0 miles of
railroad tracks were destroyed com
pletely, and nearly 260 miles of rail
way destroyed and rendered useless
out of a total mileage of approximately
600 In Belgium. These destructions
mostly were in the Mons coal valley in
the region of Tournai and around
Ghent. Bruges, Ostend and Courtral,
and Tn per cent of the destruction was
carried out during the period from the
start of Belgian offensive on Septem
ber 28. 1918, and the signing of the
armistice.

LOXDON. Feb. 16. (Special Cable.)
Dramatic developments are impending
in the situation in Ireland.
The Daily Express is given to under
stand that Lord French, viceroy of Ire
land, has come to London to place be
fore Prime Minister Lloyd George ten
tative proposals for a radical change
in the existing system of Irish govern
ment. These proposals are supported
by Sir Ian Macpherson. the new chief
secretary for Ireland, and have been
approved by the faction of southern
Irish unionists who recently broke
away from the Ulster party.
The striking feature of the scheme
Is that it deals with Ireland as a whole.
The "clean cut" of the Ulster counties
Is absent from Lord French's plan, al
though he makes an effort to meet the
desires of the Ulster unionists.
Thus far Lord French's reconcilia
tion proposals have not .ct with the
approval of all sections in the govern
ment. He has been trying for two
months to obtain the release of the
Sinn Fein prisoners, but without buc-ceS3
