fCopyrlS'ht hv the New York "World. Pub
lished bv Arrangement.!
PARIS. March 12. (Special Wire
less.) In pursuit of what now seems
to be the difinte policy of the peace
conference to dismember Germany. 1
am informed that the council of ten
has reached a final agreement that
Danzig and the Vistula basin are to
be given to Poland. This action has
been recommended by the sub-commit
tee which has been studying the sub
ject and there is every apparent rea
son to believe that the suggestion will
be accepted. In fact, the council prac
tically went on record to that effect
at this afternoon's meeting.
At the same time it was agreed that
Kast Prussia should be received into
a separate republic with highly attenu
ated connections, if any at all. with the
main body of Germany. The same
course is being followed with regard
to the Rhenish provinces and German
Austria and certain proponents of the
plan wish to carry it further and into
the disruption of intimate relations be
tween the former German kingdoms
that are now under republican govern
ment. Old Conditions Recalled.
This project taken in connection with
the reduction of Germany's army to a
point that some members of the Ameri
can mission regard as dangerous, make
the present situation take a curious
resemblance to the conditions existing
from 1S03 to 1807-and, which lasted
until the battle of Leipsic in 1S13.
Those are not lacking in Paris who
incline to the view that the allies may
be going so far in their effort to re
duce Germany to impotency as to make
certain a recrudescence of patriotic
emotion such as the Tugenbund tieague
of virtue) which sprang up after Prus
sia's signal humiliation at Jena.
Further they feel that, under the gos
pel of self-determination, there may
be risks in carrying too far measures
that are intended ae defensive precau
tions.
AVr of Revenge Feared.
The partisans of this attitude believe
that the German national assembly
solved the question as to what the Ger
mans expected would constitute their
limits and they fear that deep and con
tinned resentment leading to a. war of
revenge would be engendered by caus
ing the forcible partition of elements
voluntarily united. They believe that
larger reliance should be placed upon
the league of nations against peril aris
ing from any new German menace
apart from the Polish subject.
The further record of the day's ac- V
tivities may be summarized thus:
Consideration of the Czecho-Slovak
charges of a vast German-Austrian plot
against the new kingdom.
Conscription Abolition Onnoned.
Freely expressed dissent on the part
of military experts, including those of
America, regarding the abolition of con
scription in Gern any because of the
precedent thus created for other na
tions. Several authorities expressed
the belief 100,000 men is a sufficient
army for Germany to maintain order
and also that a 12 years' enlistment will
supply highly trained soldiers who can
teach recruits in case of sudden mass
levies.
The third point opponents to its
abolition make is that no conscription
may seriously affect plans lor military
training in America, Great Britain and
France. But those who have com
mitted themselves to the proposition
are well content with it on the ground
that it is a long step toward th dis
armament and demobilization of the
whole world.
Ornan Fandu to Be Scanned.
Completion of the details for the
meeting in Brussels with the Germans
on Thursday, when Thomas W. La
inonte. representing the economic sec
tion; J. K. Robinson, for shipping, and
Herbert C Hoover, for food, will act
as the American delegates. It appears
that France, in giving licr consent to
the feeding plan, stipulated that Ger
many was not to use more than $200,
000.000 of her gold reserve for rations
without further reference to the su
prcme council.
Returning American and British com
missioners to Poland paint a sombre
picture ot conditions mere and ar
rangements arc being speeded to send
back two Polish divisions now in
France.
Further evidence was brought out
showing that America is piling up un
popularity in being . compelled to act
as arbitrator, which is substantially
her position, in so many boundary dis
putes. The American mission wishes
the difficulty to bo made clear for it
does not appear to be able to escape
unwelcome responsibilities.

Back to Halifax, Causes Threat
"Which Alarm Captain.
HALIFAX, March 12. When the
transport Toloa docked here today,
with her captain reporting a threat
by 293 British troops in her steerage
to eink the vessel unless they were put
ashore and given transportation to their
homes in the United States, steamship
officials went aboard to interview the
complaining soldiers.
They found that 50 of the men

fares, and immigration head .
which were reported to have r in
sisted upon by American imr .tion
authorities. The others, it v iated,
would be held aboard the which
will sail Friday for New T whither
she was bound, after disc' " ng Cana
dian troops here, when eless mes
sage recalled her to .ax to coal,
because of the harbu Arike at the
American port. This order keepiu-" the
men aboard was issued in spite o. J"s
expressed by Captain Jackson of vio
lence by the soldiers.
Captain Jackson told the authorities
he had no guns aboard and that, his
ship was at the mercy of the soldiers.
He disclaimed all responsibility for
anything that might happen when the
decision became known to the men.
The. American immigration officials
took the ground that the men pos
sessed no papers proving them to be
American citizens or residents.
The troops, most of whom enlisted
in the British forces from the United
States and 81 of whom are American-
born, were discharged from the army
with $20 and an order on the British
consular office at New York for trans
portation to their homes, the ship's
officers said. Gambling among the
men, they added, had left most of the
funds in the hands of a few. '

LINCOLN. Neb.. March 12. In an
opinion rendered today, Attorney-Gen

broider upon it the name of her son
Attorney-General Davis said his office
would refuse to prosecute any such al
leged desecration.
"It is well-known," says the attorney
general in his opinion, "that one of the
reasons why the flag is held in rever
ence and respect is the fact that men
have died for it."
PRISONERS ET CLEMENCY
Sentences of Espionage Violators and
Military Offenders Commuted
LEAVENWORTH. Kan., March 12.
Men confined at the federal prison her
for violation of the espionage act and
for military offenses are receiving
clemency from the department of jus
tice and the war department, it becam
known today.
In some instances immediate dis
charges are being granted, but in th
majority commutation of sentences are
being ordered.
LONDON, March 12. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) A German government
wireless dispatch received here this
evening-sa.ys thai,-according to offi-
ial announcement, up to Tuesday aft
ernoon there had been no more impor
tant fighting anywhere in Berlin. A
night attack on the staff quarters or
the government troops in the suburb
of Neukolin was frustrated.
There were occasional unimportant
engagements in Charlottesburg and
various places in East Berlin.
A military order declaring that any
one found in certain streets of East
Berlin after 7 o'clock in the even
Ing will be shot has been issued, says
the dispatch. .
I neondltloaal Surrender, Demand.
The Berlin newspapers, the dispatch
continues., say the spartacans visited
ierr rsoeke, secretary of military af
fairs, last night to inquire Into peace
conditions. It is rumored that after
protracted negotiations Herr Koske de
nianded unconditional surrender of the
spartacans and also possession of all
their arms.
BERLIN, March 12. (By the Aso
ciatea rress.) The prosress of the
government troops against the sparta
cans necessarily is slow, owing to the
need of thoroughly cleaning up the
reconquered parts of the city. This
means that Lltchtenburg probably can
not be reached inside of two days. The
populace of Lichtenburg Is suffering
severely from hunger, and as a resu
of looting.

Problem Faced by Xew York Law
yer Is to Discover if Mr. Ro
manoff Is Dead or Alive.
NEW TORK. March 12. Lombard
Naumberg', a lawyer, was named today
by Supreme Court" Justice Benedict in
Brooklyn as a committee of one to
ascertain Mr-nether Nicholas Romanoff.
former czar of Russia, is dead or alive,
and if dead, who is next of kin..
Tonight Mr. Naumberg is looking for
some one who can solve the riddle for
him, for on Its solution rests the ques
tion whether a $117,450 Judgment which
Mr. Naumberg recently obtained
against Mr. Romanoff on behalf of the
Marine Transportation Service corpora
tion can be collected.
The corporation in the early part of
the war transported a large quantity
of sugar to Russia upon the czar's or
der. Before collection was made. Nich
olas was deposed and. according to
generally accepted reports, slain.
Mr. Naumbcrj recently learned that
the czar had $1,000,000 on deposit in
the National City bank here. He ob
tained a court judgment for $117,450,
but upon presenting It to the bank was
informed that the bank could not pay
out any of the fund unless Nicholas
either was served with a notice or
proved dead. He then applied for ap
pointment as receiver of the fund,
hoping to obtain satisfaction from the
receiver. Justice Benedict denied the
application, ho-ever, telling Mr. Naum
berg it' would be necessary to first
serve Nicholas with a notice or after
proving him dead, to serve notice upon
his next of kin. The next of 'kln would
be his wife, if she is alive: if not, hia
children, if alive; if not, Michael Ro
manoff, his brother, who at last ac
counts was alive.

WASHINGTON. March 12. The vic

Secretary Glass announced the dates
tnnlirht. together with the fact that
short-tern notes maturing in not over
five years would be issued insead of
longer term honds. The amount of
notes to be offered was not disclosed,
but it has been generally understood
that the loan would be for a minimum
of $3,00.000.000. with the treasury re
serving the right to accept all over
subscriptions. Mr. Glass said the Interest rate on the
notes and the amounts to be exempted
from taxation would not be determined
until a week or two before the cam
paign, as they would be bared upon
financial conditions at that time. It
was Intimated, however, that the notes
might bear Interest in excess of 4 per
cent, the Interest rale on the third and
fourth loans.
Short-Term Note Favored.
"After studying financial conditions
in all parts of the country." said Mr.
Glass. "I have determined that the In
terest of the United States will brft
be served at this time by the Issuance
of short-term notes rather than of
longer-term bonds which would have
to bear the limited rate of interest of
4U per cent.
