IN WORK IS DIABOLICAL
FIVE YEARS REQUIRED TO RE
STORE BIG FACTORIES.
Coal and Iron Mines Flooded With
Water and Shaftings and
Frames Dynamited.
WASHINGTON-. April II. Destruc
tion wrought by the Germans in north
ern France was so "systematic and dia
bolical" that it will require five years
to rehabilitate the coal, iron and steel
industry and from 12 to 15 years to re
turn the mines and mills to normal out
put, acordlng to a preliminary report
today by Frank H. Probret. consulting
engineer of the bureau of mines. He
is a member of a special investigating
committee which recently returned
from Europe.
"The actual physical damage to the
Iron mines is comparatively small when
compared to the destruction of the coal
fields of northern France, which is as
reprehensible as it is complete." Mr.
Probert said. "In my opinion no such
atrocity was ever perpetrated against
the industrial life of any country. Mag
nificent steel plants are now but a tan
gled, twisted mass of structural steel
and broken stone. The willful demoli
tion was scientifically planned and sys
tematically carried out. This after the
removal of all mechanical and electrical
power units that could be used by Ger
many. The maliciousness and efficiency
with which this crime against French
Industry was carried out is almost un
believable. "The coal veins of northern France
are overlain by mater-boring strata,
necessitating special method of shaft
sinking and support to keep the mines
dry. The steel lining of the shafts was
dynamited. letting in the quicksand and
flooding the underground workings for
sniles around. In the entire Pas de
Calais region it is estimated 120.000.000
cubic meters of water must be pumped
before mining operations are resumed.
Having flooded the mines, the head
frames and surface equipment were
systematically dynamited, the twisted
debris in many cases filing up the de
molished shafts."

the outline of the plan presented to the

tatives at Parts to solve the Kuseian

Prince Lvoff. Tchaikovsky, Saionoff
and Marklakoff signed the memorandum
embodying this programme. Under it
the allies would recognise the Russian
boundaries of 1914 except for ethno
graphical Poland, and would support
democratic de facto authorities In
their struggle against bolshevlsm and

Private advices received here recent

I-ONDON. April II. (Special Cable.)
A delayed dispatch to the Daily News
from Rome states:
There is a great deal of 111 feeling
in Italy against England and America
because of their opposition to this
country's Dalmatian claims. President
Wilson gets most of the blame because
he is reported to have refused the de
mand that Flume should be assigned to
Italy, so delayed the conclusion of
peace and contributed to the failure of
the league of nations by trying to rec
oncile it with the Monroe doctrine.
"Americans are disliked to such an
extent in Italy that the United States
military authorities, as a precaution,
have not only stopped allowing Ameri
can officers and men in France to pass
their leave in Italy, but also have or
dered all American army and navy units
still on duty, including the military
police and Red Cross officers and
nurses, to return to America without
further delay.
"The traditional friendship between
England and Italy, judging from the
attitude of the press, no longer exists.
In fact, not only have the Italians dis
covered P.ritlsh atrocities' in Ireland,
India and Egypt and started comment
ing on them most unfavorably, but long
editorials are published daily, evidently
with the tacit approval of the govern
ment, explaining that England entered
the war to make money, to get the
German colonies, crush Germany, cap
ture the world's markets and to in
crease her sea power. It is useless to
conceal the fact that the difficulties in
the way of the re-establishment of
commercial relations between Italy and
Germany have, in a great measure, been
removed."

The supreme economic council will
meet tomorrow to consider proposals
to grant a limited supply of raw ma

enable the factories there to start work
and to reliee the unemployment. The

PARIS. April 21. (By the Associated
Press.) Although the peace confer
ence apparently was. taken by sur
prise by the announcement of Ger
many's intention to send a small dele
gation to Versailles to receive the
text of the treaty, the plan is really
old and Berlin and Weimar dispatches
of the Associated Press more than a
month ago Indicated that the German
delegates would not have power to
make final decision.
The determination of the German
foreign office was based on misap
prehension of the programme for the
initial meeting of the German pleni
potentiaries with the representatives
of the peace conference. It has been
understood through press statements
that at the first meeting the German
delegates would merely be handed the
text of the treaty but would not be
permitted to dis ss its terms and
would be sent bam- to Germany to con
fer with the government and the na
tional assembly, returning after i
stipulated interval to Versailles for the
actual discussions.
Bis; Delegation Unnecessary.
Under the circumstances, as Count
von Brockdorff-Rantzau, foreign min
ister, explained to the Associated Press,
the German government considered it
unnecessary to sent entire peace dele
gation more than 100 persons, headed
by six plenipotentiaries to Versailles
merely to receive the draft and return
to Berlin with it and would therefore
send a smaller delegation and later
proceed to Versailles for the actual
discussions and the signature of the
treaty.
The German government then for
mally inquired through the armistice
commission regarding the programme
and on the basis of the reply seemingly
determined on the dispatch of the
smaller delegation.
Meanwhile, however, the plans and
programme of the council of four for
discussions with the Germans had been
altered, in no small degree apparently,
on account of the fact that it was
found a physical impossibility, since
the instructions to appear on April 25
were sent to the German delegates, to
have the actual text of the proposed
treaty ready by that date. This would
necessitate communicating the deter
minations of the allied and associated
governments to a certain extent in
outline, or in a less formal shape than
the definite text.
DiHcwsslon to Be Limited.
For this purpose the presence of the
plenipotentiaries charged with the
peace negotiations was. imperative.
quite apart from the point of prestige
that plenipotentiaries of the allied and
associated powers could only meet
with German representatives of equal
rank and dignity.
Furthermore, it is planned to have
such limited discussion of the peace
proposals as President Wilson and his
associates are prepared to admit, nota
bly the modes of payment of the sums
which will be exacted as reparations
and explanations on any points in the
long complicated drafts of the treaty
provisos which the German delegates
may seek to begin with, without await
ing the action of the government at
Weimar. The text of the treaty and
difficult points as they arise would in
the meantime be communicated to
Weimar.
There is little expectation in compe
tent conference circles that it will be
possible to finish the discussions with
the German delegates and have the
treaty signed within a week from the
date fixed for the first meeting. In
deed, the completion of the negotiations
within such period was declared to be a
physical impossibility.
Former Incident Recalled.
It may be recalled that the convo
cation of the Portsmouth peace confer
ence was somewhat delayed by a simi
lar point regarding the competence of
the credentials of the Russian dele
gates. Russian officials stated after
President Roosevelt's invitation to the
conference had been accepted by the
emperor that delegates were being sent
merely to learn on what basts Japan
was prepared to enter Into discussions
and that a decision whether the nego
tiations would be continued on such a
basis would be taken at St. Petersburg
and not by the Russian representatives
at Portsmouth
Japan immediately announced that
she would not send representatives ex
cept to meet with fully accredited plen
ipotentiaries authorized - to negotiate
peace, and after a second interview by
the American ambassador, George Von
I. Meyer, with the. Russian emperor, it
was reluctantly decided that the rep
resentatives would be plenipotentiaries.
A preps representative, however, coined

pERMAX OFFICIALS GLOOMY
General Depression Prevails as Re
gards Peace Terms.
BERLIN'. April 19. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) (Delayed.) The cab
inet today devoted less than half an
hour to the formulation of its answer
to the entente's invitation to Versailles
for the purpose of receiving a draft of
the peace terms. A feeling of gloom
prevails in official circles tonight and
the Associated press is told that there
are no illusions as to obtaining any
mitigation in the dictatorial peace
awaiting" Germany.
The procedure of the council of four
came as a surprise, notwithstanding
the fact that the news of the past week
foreshadowed it, and it is Interpreted in
cabinet circles and at the foreign of
fice as final proof that the entente is
disinclined forthwith to enter into ne
gotiations based on President Wilson's
"14 points," and that the terms await
ing Germany are cut and dried.
The German emissaries will merely
have instructions to carry the peace
document back to Berlin. The ques
tion whether the present government
will assume the responsibility of ac
cepting or rejecting the terms or
whether it will present them for a
national referendum is a matter of con
jecture. Official opinion, so far as ad
duced tonight, was opposed to the dec
laration of a referendum and in favor
of peremptory declination of peace
terms based on any other proposition
than Mr. Wilson's platform, as the pres
ent temper of the German working
men is anti-capitalistic and anti-imperialistic
and the bourgeoisie is in full
accord with the proletariat.
The present government, it has been
learned, is not flirting with the idea of
a plebiscite, as it would much rather
negotiate peace and set the country at
work. But it is also conscious that a
peace settlement in which Germany has
not had a voice would precipitate a
storm of national resentment which no
cabinet could weather.
The communication from the entente
powers was received here last Friday
and the German answer was wired back
this afternoon. Philipp Scheidemann,
the chancellor, called in representatives
of the German press and informed them
of the government's action.
