WILSON WORRIED By
GAG RULE AT PARIS
Belief in U. S. That He Wants
Secrecy Disturbs Him.
SOME CONCESSIONS GAINED
Direct Representation at Peace Con-
Xerence Granted, but Prelimina-
rles Will Bo Kept Dark.
BY HERBERT BAYARD SWOPE.
(Copyright, 1919. by tlie New York World.
Published by Arrangement.)
PARIS, Jan. 18 (Special by AVire-
less.) Concessions of great importance,
but not covering the whole ground,
were received last night by correspond
ents at the peace conference. The con
cessions granted the right of direct
representation at the peace conference,
and raised the question of secrecy at
the preliminary conversations not
raised by the correspondents.
As one of the delegates representing
the press In America it was my privi
lege to participate in the Ritz Hotel
meeting Thursday night which resulted
in the presentation of the declaration
of the principles of publicity and the
demand for press representation at the
peace conference. The meeting was
held as the result of the protest against
the suggested gag rule.
Americans Want Full Publicity.
America stood alone for the demand
for full publicity to the sittings of the
conference and for direct representa
tion. French journalists were opposed
to taking anything but the full official
communique.
The British newspaper men stood by
their request for "as much publicity
as would not hamper the proceedings."
The Italian correspondents and the rep
resentatives of the smaller nations, at
the outset declared that they would be
content with the presence of a national
functionary, who would interpret the
Proceeding to the press.
When the agreement had been finally
reached, the British, Italian, French
and the smaller nation correspondents-
had demanded full publicity" and de
tailed daily summaries in addition to
the communiques and the abolition of
all censorships, in this way coming
over entirely to the American position.
French Press Backward.
The French would not go the length
of demanding direct press representa
tion at the conference, wherefore the
British and Italian and American and
smaller nation representatives united
in the request for that point.
Whatever opening to the public of
the conference sessions may result is
directly traceable to the unwavering
stand by the American journalists" from
the moment they sent their committee
to the Ritz Hotel meeting until the
resolutions were presented to the peace
conference this morning.
At one point of this committee's pro
ceeding, the Americans, noting the as
sumption of the other delegations, that
they were actuated by the desire to get
the news for their papers rather than
ty a definite national principle, an
nounced their intention of withdrawing
from the meeting and of formulating
a separate memorial to the American
mission. This action finally convinced
the others that the American delega
tion was acting as citizens of a country
whose citizens expected an open peace
conference instead of as parties in their
professional interest, and there began
a, series of concessions that ended in
more satisfactory declarations of prin
ciples of publicity than it had seemed
possible to secure.
French Are Reactionary.
The French representatives, whose
declaration that they did not want any
press admission to the conference, a re
markable manifestation of the re
actionary viewpoint, were induced to
eign the principles of publicity by the
inclusion of an article against censor
ship in allied countries.
The resolutions were handed to Presi
dent Wilson as he entered the peace
conference this morning. His mind was
deeply serious, and he said he had been
anxious to receive the communication,
which Premier Lloyd George had also
tent for early in the morning. The
President is greatly disturbed at the
belief in America that he acceded to
the gag rule, contending that he had
opposed it at all times and had secured
deferred action upon it until the peo
ple could be heard from through the
press.
turn to this country and also withdraw
our Army from Europe."
Home Relief First, Plea.
Referring to President Wilson's
statement taat food would stop Bol
shevism Senator Kenyon declared "you
will stop the Bolsheviki not by feeding
them, but by removing injustice."
Before giving relief to Europe the
situation in the United States should
be considered. Senator Kenyon con
tinued, adding that 200,000 men are out
of employment in the United States and
that there are inadequate hospital fa
cilities to care for the returned wound
ed soldiers.
Senator Borab said it was impossible
for him to support the bill because) of
th6 connection Herbert Hoover would
have ith the disposition of the funds.
Hoover's viewpoint is such." he said.
that I can't agree to turn over this
money to him."
Packing Profits Held Huge.
Senator Borah said investigation
showed that "the vast monopolies that
control the food supplies have directed
and controlled the food administration,
since he has been in charge." By this,
he said, he did not intend to say that
Mr. Hoover had benefited In any way.
but that it was Hoover's viewpoint
that permitted, this to be done.
while press dispatches have de
scribed suffering at borne for lack of
food, the Idaho Senator said the pack
ers admitted that their war profits
were 47 per cent on capital invested.
Passage of the bill, he asserted, would
increase packers' profits.
ne contended It would Do unjust to
hold the President responsible for
proper relief distribution, aa be would
not know how the money was spent.

Programme to Abandon Claims to

With Approval.

Published by Arrangement.)
LONDON, Jan. 18. (Special Cable.)
Leonida Bissolati, who resigned from the
Italian Cabinet because he could not
agree with the annexation policy of the
Orlando Ministry, followed President
Wilson's visit to Milan with an attempt
to justify his position, but did not have
a similar welcome.
Though he has lone been known as
an advocate of the Wilson policies and
a league of nations, he was howled
down at the Scala Theater.
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
News thus describes the incident:
"The Scala Theater at Milan was
crowded Saturday night with an ex
cited and largely hostile audience when
Signor Bissolati delivered his speech in
explanation of his resignation from the
Cabinet. There was a great uproar and
the ex-Minister was unable to finish
his speech.
"Siarnor Bissolati. who is a vigorous
advocate of the league of nations, has
insisted on the necessity of Italy's
abandonment of her claims to the
Aegean Islands In Dalmatia. Despite
the sincerity of his intentions and the
reasonableness of his efforts toward the
conciliation of Italian and Jugo-Slav
aspirations, which Is impossible without
mutual concessions, Bissolati was nara
ly allowed to utter two consecutive
sentences.
"Failing to obtain a bearing Bissolati
at length resumed his seat. His speech
is printed in full in mis morning's
papers and on the whole is commented
on adversely.
"Public opinion is for the moment
much excited on the subject of the
league of nations and its relation to
Italian ambitions, but It is expected
that calmness will be restored when
it is realized that a satisfactory solu
tion of the Jugo-Slav question is pos-
RlhlA.
"Meetings in support of the estab
lishment of a league of nations were
held In various Italian cities Saturday,
but the movement is said to have lost
some of its importance, owing to the
changed attitude of public opinion in
connection witn the .Dalmatian que
tion."

TENNESSEE "BONE DRY"
U. S. Circuit Court Decision Victory
for Prohibitionists.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 18. The state of
Tennessee is adjudged "bone dry" in
an opinion rendered in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals here
yesterday in the cases of four men
charged with having violated the Heed
amendment.
The laws of Tennessee prohibit the
manufacture or sale of liquor within
four miles of a school house.
The court ruled that every part of
Tennessee is within four miles of some
school and for that reason the whole
gtate is under the operation of the dry
law.
ENEMY RELIEF IS STAYED
(Continued Krorn First Page.)
serted that Mr. Hoover's work had
been carried out without a thought of
the interests of American taxpayers.
Under Mr. Hoover's administration.
Senator Borah said, the packers had
made larger profits in 1917 than ever
before, and he demanded that Presi
dent Wilson have the European work
placed in the hands of some one more
responsive to taxpayers' Interests.
In support of the bill Sentor Martin
cited precedents dating back to 1913 of
similar relief appropriations by Con
gress, and Senator Lodge said the
1100,000,000 appropriation was neces
sary to carry out the general work of
this Nation in concluding the war.
Precedents Are Cited.
Opposition developed immediately
after Senator Martin called up the bill.
Senator Myers demanded to know
under what constitutional clause Con
gress could raise money by taxes and
then "practically give it away to for
eign people."
Senator Martin said such relief ap
propriations had been made many times
and cited a number of precedents, in
cluding the appropriation of $800,000
for Italian earthquake sufferers in 1909.
Senator Kenyon contended that Con
gress had no right to take the money
of the people by taxation for charity
outside the country. Statements in
tending to show why the bill should
be passed, he said, were indefinite.
"Perhaps it is the result of secret di
plomacy in Europe," the Senator said.
"I wish the President would serve no
tice that if the foreign nations insist
on the secret diplomacy now going on
at I'aris that he and his staff will re-

GERMANS BEMOAN NEW TERMS
Acceptance Opposed by Chiefs of
Berlin Departments.
BERLIN. Jan. 17.(By the Asso

In the German government, especially
the Ministers of Commerce and of
Trade, protest against acceptancy by
the German delegates of the latest
armistice conditions, the fulfillment of
which, they declare, "means for Ger
many the organized preparation of
starvation.
The Minister of Commerce and Labor,
according to the Tageblatt, declares
that Germany will be unable to re
place agricultural machinery taken
because Germany lacks necessary
metals, coal and trained laborers.
The Boersen Courier says that Food
Minister Wurm declared that be first
learned of the conditions threugh the
press and that he could not accept re
sponsibility for the consequences. The
Tageblatt asks in an editorial:
"Where are justcia and humanity,

Entire Mercantile Marine to Be
Placed at Disposal of Allied
Governments.
PARIS, Jan. 18 (Rival) Marshal
Foch, according to the Matin, will im
mediately break off the armistice with
Germany if the conditions of the armis
tice are not fulfilled. The allied commander-in-chief,
the newspaper adds,
does not believe the Germans exag
gerate when they cry "famine."
Germany atill possesses an army, the
Marshal declared, but the allies hold
the Rhine, which constitutes a for
midable strategical barrier. Marshal
Foch is said to have declared that he
did not believe that a Bolshevik inva
sion through Germany of France was
possible.
The agreement for the renewal of the
German armistice signed by Marshal
Foch. Admiral Browning and the Ger
man armistice commissioners on Thurs
day provided for the renewal of the
armistice from time to time after the
month for which the extension runa
until the conclusion of peace, subject
to the approval of the allied govern
ments.
Right of Occupation Reserved.
The principal terms of the renewal
are substantially as has been reported.
In addition, there is a clause by which
the allied command reserves the right
to occupy that part of the Strasbourg
defenses comprised by the forts on the
eastern bank of the Rhine and a strip
of territory from three to six miles
beyond. Other clauses provide for the
Substitution for supplementary railway
material, large quantities of industrial
and agricultural implements and give
control of Russian prisoners in Ger
many to allied and associated delegates
for repatriation.
The naval clauses provide that all
submarines must be turned over, in
cluding all submarine cruisers, mine
layers, sweepers, salvage ships and
floating docks for submarines. They
also stipulate that the building of all
submarines must cease and those on
the stocks must be dismantled or de
stroyed under allied supervision.
Germany undertakes to turn over
all allied ships still detained in Ger
man ports. The clause providing that
Germany shall place her mercantile
marine at the disposal of the allies in
return for food supplies says that the
agreement in no way affects the final
disposal of those ships.
Steamers Slay Be Used for Troops.
All the more Important German
passenger steamers. Including the
huge Imperator, may be used to trans
port American troops homeward, un
der the extension of the armistice
signed at Treves. The German mer
cantile fleet is placed at the disposal
of the associated governments. Only
smaller steamships are left to the
Germans and are for Baltic coastal
traffic.
Remuneration to be paid to Ger
many will be applied on payments for
foodstuffs furnished to Germany un
der another part of the agreement.
These supplies Include 70,000 tons of
pork and 200,000 too of cereals. For
part of this latter item condensed milk
may be substituted.
The shipping arrangement was elab
orated at meetings apart from the
regular armistice commission and were
the first civilian deliberations between
Germans and representatives of the
associated governments.
