ET HERBERT BAYARD PIVOPE. ICopyright bv tho Ner York World. Pub lished by Arrangement. PARIS. March 20. (Special Cable.) President Wilson has returned to Paris with certain and definite plans on sev eral subjects that now engross the world's attention. In re.-pect to other objects he conies br.ck with open mind, avoiding commitments until he fhall have completed a survey of the situation which has arisen in the 27 days of his absence. He has plunged ' into the thick of things through extended conferences with Premiers Uoyd George and Clemeneeau and Colonel Hoiihf. and it is now- possible to outline a tentative programme which he has laid out. His return gives not only drive and peed but also direction to the wheels of the pjace machine, which have been spinning; since January. President Mirk RneoaniKed. So far as he has made his views known to others since his arrival, it may be said that his mind is flowing along these gene al lines: The presi dent feels that his absence from this etorm center has enabled him to gain a clearer and less distorted perspective of the main course to he followed.. He returns invigorated for his heavy tasks by the support lie 'received in America, and his vigor ha-j been sharp ened by opposition. He finds much to encourage him in the general outlook, while realizing that difference will multiply as the clinta . approaches. Particular!) is he sanguine of the adoption of the league of nations cove rant. It may be said authoritatively that he has no fears on that score at home, for he is convinced that the great majority of his countrymen are ingle-minded in support of the proj ect. So much does he feel this to he the case that he Is giving little or no thought to amendments to the charter which was given to the world on the ilay he left Paris. There m:.y be a few changes, but they will be of no moment and in 11 probability they will not include spe-i-ific reference to the Monroe doctrine, which the president regards atj not even remotely threatened.

He wil! add to the bill a clause pro viding for the deportation of all aliens who w ithdrew their application for cit izenship in order to evade the draft,' and anDther clause providing for the cancellation of the citizenship of nat uralized citizens who agitated revolt and preached the overthrow of the American system of government. Discussing the work of the next con gress. Mr. Johnson said it would be of the greatest importance, and he pre dicted that the legislators would be under high-speed pressure from the very start. He said that investigations of the conduct of the war are certain: that the house had been organized with inquiries In view. ' Ho believed these inquiries would turn largely on the failure to pay allotments promptly, the failure to de liver mail to soldiers overseas, the fail ure to pay soldiers, and the "fall down" in air craft production. Johnson says a league of nations of some sort is in the air and is certain as the sun shines. A whole world Is to be rebuilt and re constructed, and this country iislf is on the verge of its greatest develop ment.

Delegates Goaded to De mand Modification. DEMONSTRATIONS ARE LIKELY German Populace Are Aroir Over Expected Demand TIME LIMIT IS NOVrlXED Belief Is Tlint Three Days Will Be Sufficient for Envoys to Decide Question of Signing. BT JAMES M. TL'OHV. (Copyright by the New York "World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) PARIS, March 20. (Special Cable.) Visitors returning from occupied Ger many await with misgiving the results of the presentation of the preliminary peace terms for signature by the Ger man delegates, as signs have appeared of agitation seemingly designed to ex cite the populace Into demonstrations which may spur the delegates to de mand modifications cf the terms. Tn respect to the time limit for Ger man consideration of the terms, it has been suggested that three days will be enough, but no limit has been fixed yet. In the meantime, the manner in which the peace preliminaries are to be presented to Germany brings a seemingly distinct conflict of views be tween the British and French. I am in formed. Andre Tardieu stated that as we are still formally at war with Ger many the terms should be handed to Germany by a military delegation un der the same conditions as the armis tice. Important Question Rained. British information is that as the conditions are not merely military, but also financial and economic, the Ger man delegates must be seen respecting them. This seems to be the reasonable course, but the matter is still unset tled. Th preliminary report of the com mission on responsibilities shows that an important question has developed respecting the personal legal responsi bility of the ex-kaiser from the point of view of British and American law. Both maintain that the former kaiser cannot be made penally responsible for acts done in his capacity as a sovereign, such as provoking the war or violating Belgium, for, in effect, as already stated, war Is recognized as a legal method for settling differences. Specific Chnrjte Required. To bring the former kaiser to justice it will be necessary to prove some spe cific criminal act, such as inciting to the murder of prisoners or, for in stance, if he decorated the captain who sank the Lusitania, which would make (Concluded on Pane Column 3.) - WHEN WE Former Jeffersonlan Renounces Or ganization That "Reduces Lib erty and Increases Taxes." NEWARK. N. J., March 20. -Asserting that the democratic party has "ceased to support democratic princi ples," former United States Senator Jo seph W-. Bailey of Texas declared in an address here tonight that he would "never again vote for the candidate of any parfy , which constantly reduces our liberty and unnecessarily increases our taxes." Mr. Bailey, who was the principal speaker at the "victory banquet" - of the Road Horse association, blamed the democratic party for the passage of the prohibition amendment to the constitution and for the near passage of the amendment granting suffrage to women. "I have been a democrat all my life," he said. "A 'color' democrat, if you please, and I have never scratched a party ticket. But those who now con trol the democratic party have re nounced or abandoned one democratic principle after another in such rapid ity and bewildering succession that they have left us nothing but the name. "Since Thomas Jefferson founded it, the democratic party has ahrays in sisted that every state should exclu sively control the local affairs of its own people, but a democratic congress immolated that time-honored doctrine upon the altar of national prohibition and a majority voted to repeal the sac rifice in behalf of woman suffrage." The doctrine of reverence for the constitution, he declared, had been al tered until the constitution "was re garded as an obsolete scrap of paper." "The liberty we thought worth fight ing for and dying for," he declared, "is the liberty of the individual the right of every man to do for himself and with his own as he pleases so long as he does not Interfere with the right of other men to do the same. "But in this day they tell us that i! is better to be good than it is to be free, and they have multiplied our penal statutes until the lawyers cannot carry even an index of them in their minds. We have restricted the rights of men until no civilized country on the globe interferes with the habits, the pleasures and the business of its people as much as this free government of the United States."

SALONIKI, March 201 The Greek victory at Kherson, northwest of Odessa, was won over a bolshevik force of four times the strength of the Grek division encased, according to a Greek headquarters statement issued here. The statement declares the bolshevik armies have been reorganized and are under command of German officers, a large number of whom participated in the battle. The Greek troops realized an advance to the depth of a little more than 12 miles, capturing numerous, prisoners and considerable booty. In spite of re inforcements, the bolshevik troops have not been able to reconstitute their line, the statement adds. LONDON. March 20. Virtually all of the Ukraine is now in the hands of the bolsheviki, according to advices reach ing London today. In heavy fighting at Nikolaiev, northwest of Odessa, the bolsheviki lost between 5000 and 8000 men, but forced the French garrison, after fierce fighting, to withdraw to Odessa by sea. Isthmus Is Reached. Farther east, . the advices add, the bolsheviki have reached the isthmus of Perekop, leading to the Crimea. The Bolsheviki apparently are en gaged in a strong effort to subdue Russian opposition in the Ukraine and to drive allied forces from that region before spring. If Ihe bolsheviki can control the great agricultural region of the Ukraine, they might relieve the serious food shortage in Moscow and the north. The troops of the Moscow govern ment in the last three weeks have oc cupied Kiev r.nd Zhitomir in the center of the Ukraine, and driven the peasant government of General Petlura from Kiev to Winnitza and thence to Pros kurov In Podolia, 40 miles east of the border of Galicia.

Miss Garrison, the police an nounced, confessed to stirring poison into the cocktail because of her infat uation for Storrs. Tomorrow the girl will be arraigned in superior court. There was no indi cateion tonight that she would attempt to recede from her alleged confession of guilt, but detectives questioning her during the day were said to be working on the theory that she alone was not responsible for Mrs. Storrs' death. Miss Garrison, however, tonight stoutly maintained to officers and others that she alone planned the poisoning. Storrs 13 en Irs Complicity. Storrs arrest ended a search for him that had been, on ever since Mrs. Storrs' death on Tuesday. To officers who grilled him at police headquarters to night, lie said he had come to Seattle as fast as he could upon learning of his wife's death. He denied, the police said, that he had any knowledge of Miss Garrison's alleged plan to do away with Mrs. Storrs, and corroborated features of her story concerning hit relations with Miss Garrison during the periods when she visited him at Okanogan. No charges have been placed again. si Storrs by the Seattle police, but upon orders of-Chief J. F. Warren he was taken into custody for investigation.

Her crime occupied no part of her thoughts, apparently; all she was anxious to know was whether the man for whom she had committed the supreme crime would turn away from her, now that she had been found out by the world. "Surely Doug would stand by me," said the girl. Other developments of the day in the Storrs-Garrison case were: An ex amination was given Miss Garrison to day by Dr. Don Nicholson, prominent alienist, as to her mentality. The alien ist was with his patient almost two hours at the city jail, he having been sent there by Prosecuting Attorney Fred C. Brown.
