President Well Satisfied. The president will return to the United States more than satisfied, his friends say, with the net results of the conference, and. all things considered, it is his opinion that the conference has been a wonderful success. While it is regarded as a disadvantageous peace for Germany, yet against this it 'is held that Germany committ-d a great wrong and quite naturally and Insvltably must make just reparation for that wrong. But outside of German results, tne conference is viewed Jn presidential quarters as liberating peoples who never before had a chance ot iiDeny, such as Poland. Jugo-Slavia and Cxecho Slovakia. Also, the conference is credited with'banding together the peo ple of the world to make the peace regime enduring. Other- large results, it was pointed out, are the giving of a charter to labor, removing restrictions on international intercourse and many other international results which can be summed up as a "colossal business. such as the world never dreamed ol before." , Amendments Not Desired. The peace treaty and the league of nations covenant should be ratified without amendment, according to the presidential view as it 1s understood, for certain definite reasons, namely, that if any one power seeks to make Reports in Paris Say Pershing Will Resign if Not Made Chief of Army Staff. BY HERBERT BAYARD SWOPE. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by arrangement.) PARIS, June 27. (Special Cables President Wilson late last night author ized the dispatch of 500 marines to Schleswig to act as part of the occu pation force provided for in the treaty to continue in occupation until the plebiscite is taken. This must be com pleted within ten weeks after the treaty is signed. High importance is attached to the president's action, since it may be a precedent for the use of our forces in many other European regions where similar plebiscites are called. In any event the step shows how far America is committed to the settlement of the general situation abroad. In the meantime General Pershing is completing plans for the transport home of 400,000 American troops in the month of July. He expects to have practically II the American expeditionary force out of Europe by the end of August, save for the email covering force which is to be left in the Rfrinelands as our representation in the occupying army. Secretary of War Baker's unexpected opposition to General Pershing's ap pointment as chief of staff is not be lieved to be earnest. If it continues, General Pershing will resign. , I make this statement without his authority, but it may be taken as the actual belief of his friends. However, those close to President Wilson have every confidence that General Pershing will be given the same rank in Amer ica as he holds here, which will call for his appointment as chief of staff, as any other position would subordinate him to that officer. President Wilson held a final confer ence today with the American corrt spondents who have covered the peace session. Beer With Mild "Kick" Hope of Anti-Drys.

The rail road administration announced today that it would be able to meet the obli gations falling due July 1, although the appropriation bill carrying funds for the railroad administration recently passed by congress has not been signed by the president. The sum to be paid out embraces in terest on indebtedness of the various federal-controled roads and dividend payments and totals about $100,000,000. i WASHINGTON, June 27. The whole question of prohibition enforcement was transferred today from the Judi ciary committee to the house, without promise or assurance of speedy con sideration. A general enforcement, measure, em bracing both wartime and constitution al prohibition, put together in such a way as to let one stand independently of the other, was reported out by a vote of 17 to 2 after the committee had refused to slpit it inti two separate and distinct parts. But this vote did not accurately represent the sentiment f the committee, some members of which will send in a minority report and insist upon the elimination of some of the drastic provisions. Minority to Wage Fight. Backed up by representatives from districts outwardly hostile to wartime prohibition, the minority will attempt a flying wedge fight in the hope of so amending the wartime enforcement bill as to permit the manufacture and sale of 2 per cent beer. While the prohi bition leaders assert they have suf ficient votes to put the bill through without substantial change, they con ferred informally tonight to decide upon a plan of action, believing there was no indication that the president before July 1, would issue a proclama tion declaring demobilization and wartime prohibition ended. Antipro.hibltion-'foreeS' in ther-house counted heads today and agreed to put up a desperate battle for wholesale modifications for severe sections. There was wide difference of opinion among members tonight as to how soon the fight might begin. Ultimate Passage Not Doubted, After the bill was formally reported out late today Chairman Volstead an nounced he would ask for a rule giving it the right of way, but strong objec tion developed. The general view was that the bill would not be called up in the house until July 7 at the earliest. There was little disagreement on the bill's ultimate passage, for the house is counted "dry" by a big margin. Some of the prohibition members pointed out there was no great division except on the definition of intoxicat ing liquor, and while they expected a Solons Emphatic in Approval of $491,000,000 Sum to Complete Merchant Fleet Plans.

There was little opposition, however, to the shipbuilding increase, which merely authorized sufficient money to complete projects already under way. The house appropriation for the ship ping board's use, It was explained, was due to a miscalculation. (Concluded on Pace 5, Column 1.)

Hall and John '. Sievers arranged with her the settle ment of a 1100,000 alienation suit for stocks valued at more than $20,000 in January, 1918. She spoke with the dif ficulty of one who felt the weight of 86 years, her words coming slowly and uncertainly from lips that trembled. "I was sick and in bed when they came to my home. I didn't want to see them. One sat at the head of the bed and one at the foot. I was so alone, except for my son, and they told me he was in trouble and had been ar rested. They demanded J50.000." For a moment the aged woman seemed al most overcome by her recollections, but she straightened and continued. Must Settle or Go to Jail. v ' "They told me I would lose every thing I had and go to the penitentiary if I did not Bettle things," she was sobbing, weakly. "I asked them to give me time to wire my nephew In Kansas City, who always handled my business affairs, but they said it had to be settled at once." Sympathies of auditors were with the wrinkled old lady as she told her pitiful story in which the refrain waa "I had to do it." Several of the jurors fraokly, .wiped tears from-their ejes and blew their noses. Circuit Judge Kavanaugh blinked away gathering moisture. Attorney Dan J. Malarkey swallowed hard before continuing his questioning and brushed his eyes with the back of his hand. Even spectators in the rear of the courtroom who by no chance could hear the low spoken words of Mrs. Ty- er appeared touched by the scene. Tho woman was seated, bowed, in a large leather chair which had been ' placed directly in front of the Jury box. The judge had descended from the bench so as to hear the replies and the at torneys gathered close around the pathetic figure. Hall, so the witness said, had de manded 850,000 for his client, Harry . Henderson, who had brought suit, against the aged woman for conspiring to win for her son. William Tyler, the affections of Mrs. EthcT Henderson by lavish gifts, luxuries, and expensive raiment. Though Hall did most or the talking, Sievers, who was supposed to be representing Mrs. Tyler, concurred in the belief that she should settle tho claim, she declared. 20,000 Given to Attorney. "John Sievers was my attorney and I thought I had to do what he aaid," she asserted. "Well, you had better give Hall 820,000 and settle the case, he told me." During the meeting, Mrs. Tyler said her son had little to say, leaTinsj the matter to Sievers, who suggested the 820,000 settlement first, she testi fied. When the stocks had been turned over. Hall cautioned secrecy, safin. "I'll go to jail if anything is said about this," asserted the witness. Regarding the truth of allegation in the alienation suit, concerning gifts and attempts of the aged woman to win Mrs. Henderson for her son, Mrs. Tyler was quite positive. "I never gave her a nickel," said the witness. "I never gave her one article of clothing. I only saw her twice in my life, and I did not like her. I did not know of any affection between her and my son." One of the occasions that Mrs. Tyler saw Ethel Henderson was at her 85th birthday anniversary dinner, when her . son brought the woman to her heme. The other was a time when Mrs. Hen derson was at Mrs. Tyler's home with William Tyler and ventured into the aged woman's room. She came in my room and sat down. said the witness. "She said. 'Aren't you lonesome here?" I eaid that I was not lonesome and that I liked to be alone, and she went out. I took such a great dislike to her I could hardly treat , her nice." $150,000 Inheritance Receied. Mrs. Tyler testified that the hai never been accustomed to business af- . fairs or the handling of much money. as she had never been in .comfortaute circumstances until she inherited 8150, 000 at the death of a brother several years ago. She was over SO yean of age when she received this legacy. Of the amount 830,000 was paid to settle an alienation suit brought a year prior u. the one now in discussion by Mrs. Vrrt Tyler against Mrs. Permelia Tyler foi alienating the affection of William Ty ler, husband of Mrs. Vina Tyler.
