COPENHAGEN. March 24. KarJ
Radek. the leading Russian bolshevik
agent in Germany, who wu arrested
on February 13 in connection with the
epartacan uprising, has been released
by the German government, according
to-a Berlin dispatch today.
This message reports fresh agitation

AMSTERDAM. March 24. A demon
titration "against violation of German
territory under the peace treaty." was
held in Berlin Sunday in front of the
residence of President Ebert.
After the meeting the crowd went to
the Hotel Adlon. where most of the
entente commissions in Berlin are quar
tered. Seeing American officers, they
mistook them for British and shouted
"Down with England."
BERLIN. March 23. (By the Asso
elated Press.) The Berlin press from
the extremely radical to the most de
cidedly conservative, sees in events in
Hungary a terrible warning to the
entente. This is the view taken, for
instance, by the two extreme examples
of Die Freiheit and the Tages Zeitung.
Dire Results Predicted.
"Entente Imperialism," says the lat
ter newspaper, "assisted bolshevism
into the saddle in Russia by the frus
tration of Kerensky's peace plans. , It
now has raised bolshevism in Hungary
out of the depths of its impotence. If
these two lessons should not suffice.
a third would carry terrible conse
luences Into the entente lands."

The peace conference has been ad
vised by entente agents of the critical
situation in Hungary. Some street
fighting in Budapest has been reported
and. while the lives of entente na

urged that they did need the protec

Italians Answer Jugo-Slavs.
The peace conference commission on
Czecho-Slovak affairs held a meeting
today to consider further questions
which have arisen because of develop
ments in the former Austro-Hungarian
empire.
The Italian delegation to the peace

arguments advanced by the Jugo-Slavs
in a recent memorandum respecting the
territorial claims in dispute with Italy.

speech Sunday, a dispatch from Berlin
says.
Ebert Given Opinion.
The German president added that
Germany could not give up West Prus
sia or part of upper Silesia.
Ebert spoke at a meeting called to
protest against the annexation of
Danzig by Poland. He declared that
Germany was prepared to agree to the !
neutralization of the Vistula, which
would Include Danzig as a free port. .
PARIS PRESS SEES DAXGEB
Peace Delegates Warned Not to Dally
With Minor Problems.
PARIS, March 24. (By "the- Asso
ciated Press.) The situation is as
serious as that which arose when the
congress of Vienna learned of Na
poleon's return from Elba. "Today as
a hundred years ago, negotiators have
provoked and have been surprised by
destiny," writes St. Brice in the
Journal.
The problem before the council of
ten today is not the fate of the Ger
man cables or the Eeschen commis
sion, but the Imperative necessity of
having Poland and Roumania rebuild
the watertight compartment which has
collapsed, he continues. "Otherwise
Germany, declaring herself alone in a
position to save western civilization.
will lay down her own peace terms
instead of those the allies propose to
dictate to her. or will threaten to
take the lead in the bolshevik movement."
This extract from an editorial ac
curately reflects the views of the for
eign editors of French newspapers.
They all generally agree in placing
the principal blame for the events on
the procrastination of the peace con
ference and in insisting upon imme
diate steps to fight bolshevism.

BARRETT MAKES SUGGESTION
League Urged to Recognize Union

NEW TORK. March 24. A proposal
to safeguard the Monroe doctrine in
the league of nations by inserting in
the league covenant a clause recogniz-
ng the international union of American
republics has been made to the Ameri
can delegates at the peace conference.
John Barrett, director-general of the
Pan-American union, announced here
today. He declared that the American
nations organizations formed 30 years
ago and credited with preventing "sev
eral andposslbly many American wars"
might well bear to the league a rela
tion similar to that of a state legis-
ature to congress and be entrusted to

German Signature to Treaty Dally
Grows Less Probable Because
of Paris Attitude.
BY HERBERT BATARD SWOPE.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
PARIS, March 23. (Special Cable.)
With irrltaticjp over delay manifesting
itself more plainly every hour, with the
news of bolshevik success In Hungary
pointing a direct moral, with unrest
throughout the world growing In In
tensity, the peace conference took a
step backward lasl jiight when It be
came known that the French had form
ulated new objections to the execution
of the British agreement whereby Ger
many was to be rationed. As a result
the flow of food into that country has
been held up and. if conditions are not
cured immediately, serious results are
feared.
The, matter has been thrown back to
the supreme war council for considera
tion on Monday.
France's reluctance to going further
at this time arises through her insist
ence that exports from Germany should
bejimited and priority of delivery should
be accorded the allies, wno snouts nave
the right to fix the prices they are to
pay for such exports as they take.
There is a further question of payment
in francs and lires, which would compel
Germany to make good the loss in ex
change or throw the loss upon the
American purveyors.
Situation Becomes Serious.
A member of the American commis
sion, who is a shrewd observer, said to
me tonight that he believes France has
come to the conclusion that her safety
rests in permitting disintegration of
Germany and that she is pursuing that
policy by delays and objections. He dif
fers from the wisdom of this view ana
contracts, copyright and other matters
of a commercial nature.
Last night one member of the con
ference saja that the attitude in Paris
was having its reflex in Germany and
that the German signature to a peace
treaty was growing less probable each
day, because if she signed she would
be. .in her people's eyes, accpting slav
ery which would bring on bolshevism,
and if she did not sign, she would be
thrown into bolshevism any way. It
may be that, after all, the military
terms will be submitted to the Germans
secretly before further delays in other
phases are encountered. '
There is a lack of unity and absence
of progress that has become marked
in the last three days and it is reacting
gravely upon the whole body of the
Paris proceedings. A shakeup is need
ed, in the opinion of all who are con
versant with the situation here.

POSLAM'S HELP
Fear That Enemy Will Disturb Per

Bitter Comment.
BT WILLIAM COOK.

PARIS, March 23. (Special Cable.)
The last week's work of the peace con
ference is bitterly commented upon by
the French press today. What was to
have been a week of most decisive re
sults is termed a week of dalay. Influ-
ntiai newspapers remind me aeiegaies
that "time is pressing in the face of
an enemy daily becoming more arrogant."
The French people, after reading the
results of the discussions before the
council of ten, despairingly throw up
their arms and ask when they will have
tangible proof that the' allies are victors.
Le Matin, bitterest of the commen-
tors, remarks: "132 days have passed
ince the armistice was signed and the
peace conference has not yet solved
any problem in any definite manner.
The supreme council has not yet been
able to draw up resolutions which
would have shown the enemy that the
capitulation of November 11 was to
bear 'rufts. The German people be
come reassured, public opinion in al-
i lied countries becomes unnerved.
"We are not throwing stones at any
om in particular, but we have the
right to ask, in the name of public
opinion, that the people have without
delay proof th-t their victory is a
reality. It is true that ti.e peoples do
not want any more war, the only way
to satisfy this legitimate wish is by
giving them peace which the enemy
could not disturb or render inefficient.'
rest of the world, and particularly
France, will travel the same road.
Tonight the general situation is seri
ous and it would be foolish to attempt
to disguise the fact.
The council of ten talked Poland this
morning and arose still talking. With
out definitely approving the new boun
daries, though the correspondents here
were informed that approval had been
given to the subcommittee's report giv
ing a corridor between the Polish fron
tier and Danzig to the new Polish na
tion. This afternoon the league of nations
committee discussed the constitution of
the league, with President Wilson pre
siding. The first seven clauses were
gone over and suggestions made as to
new terminology, but no point was of
Importance. An amendment by the
Swiss regarding the preservation of
sovereignties and several alternative
drafts on this point were discussed at
length. Tonight the statement was
made that President Wilson purposed
to gain the views of the committee as
to the wisdom and necessity of includ
ing a -Separate reference to the Monroe
doctrine, but no on ii authority expects
this to be done, as the belief is general
that it is sufficiently covered in section
10. Those best informed say that no
further amendments need be expected,
while others say certain changes may
be made- that will appease American
opposition.
Lack of Unity Marked.
The World's editorial on the Lodge
Lowell debate on the subject of presi
dential rights in treaty making was
circulated among the conferees to show
how the Republican senator had com
pletely reversed his position, and to in
dicate the United States senate views
of privileges.
The conference this week will estab
lish the future relations of Germany to
the rest of the world on such subjects
as tariffs, after-war contracts, pre-war
as to the conditions under which the
offer was made. Several British firms
and one of two individuals are reported
to have entered for this prize, but the
general belief here is that none of
these will be able to make the start
in advance of the naval planes.
Each Plane Has Three Motors.
Lieutenant John H. Towers is in
command of the preparations being
made at Rockaway Beach. Each of the
three seaplanes there is equipped with
three liberty motors, having 1000 to
1200 combined horsepower. Experi
ments are now being made in the ar
rangement of --the motors, but it is
believed that the final choice will pro
vide for two tractor, or pulling' pro
pellors and one "pushing" propeller.
There will be four liberty motors in
the fourth plane, now under construc
tion and these will be arranged in the
so-called "tandem type," two tractor
and "two pusher" motors.
Speed of the first three seaplanes has
been estimated by the builders, at 100
miles an hour and it is .said at least
qne of the planes has made approxi
mately, that speed in trial flights.
Gasoline Capacity Increased.
The original gasoline consumption
provided for a sustained flight of 16
hours, but changes in the design of the
hull interior have allowed for increased
storage space substantially increasing
the gasoline capacity.
The changes in original design con
template lowering the pilots' station
nearer the pontoon, so as to facilitate
and render less dangerous the changing
or pilots In flight. The machines have
wing spread of approximately 126
feet, six inches and the wings are 12-
feet wide.
It Is believed that each plane will
carry a minimum crew of six men, two
of whom will be pilots and the others
mechanics and observers.

ROME. March 1. (Special Cable.)
Italy intend to solve the extremely
acute coal famine by demanding coal
from Germany by way of indemnity.
This Information cornea from official
sources.
Italian national industries will be
entirely paralyzed unless coal Is ob
tainable in large quantities. British
exports of coal here are quite Insuffi
cient and French exports have ceased.
The government hoped that American
coal, which had been offered, would
solve the problem, but transport tolls
make American coal delivered at
Genoa, dearer than the British, which
is now selling- here at 140 a ton.
The entire lack of ship further com
plicates matters. Hence negotiations
with American con! firms have been
suspended until tne question of ob
taining German coal as indemnity is
examined.
