"Their sacrifice was not In vain.
Rather than a sacrifice, it . was the

might live.
'To you wives, mothers, fathers and
children, sisters and brothers, who made

the aching hearts and long, empty

Premier Lloyd George and NltU have

conference with the council of premiers.
Tbe two premiere; according to the
report, feel that commercial relatione
should be resumed at once, because of
the European economic situation. If
the soviet government demonstrates its
ability to survive, it was believed diplo
matic relations must Inevitably follow
the resumption of commerce. It was
understood that Premier Mlllerand, rep
resenting France, will accept the propo
sition of the British and Italian pre
miers. IMPORTANT SESSION
This week's session was expected to
be one of the: most important sines the
council convened. Approximately 60
statesmen will attend. Including repre
sentatives of France, Great Britain,
Italy, Belgium. Hungary, Turkey,
Oreece and. J Jgo-Slavla, v
Premier Mllleflend, accompanied by
Vittorlo Scloloia, the luiian foreign

Premier Alexander Vaida-Voeved of
Hou mania was expected to appear be
fore the council to ask what help may
be expected from the allies If Kou

sian soviet armies. The premier of Po
land was expected to submit a similar
statement to the council.

Valda Voeved, accompanied by a dele
gation of a dosen Roumanian officials,
also was to present evidence sustaining
his statement that Hungary hae offered
her throne to King Ferdinand to be
ruler of Hungary, Transylvania and
Roumania, and that Hungarians have
been plotting in Transylvania to fo
ment rebellion for the purpose of event
ual annexation to Hungary.
Results of last week's deliberations
on the Turkish question will be drafted
Into the treaty of peace with that power,
it was understood, contingent on the
approval of Premier Mlllerand. Under
this tentative agreement, Greece will
receive a portion of the Smyrna district
clal situation.
Italian leaders admitted, however,
they had little hope that the Adriatic
tangle can be unraveled In the near
future. Premier Ntttl's strategy, it was
believed, will consist of an effort to
prolong the controversy until conditions
in Italy have been settled, so. he can
make concessions without endangering
his position.
LLOYD GEORGE ATTEMPTED TO
BAR AMERICA FROM EUROPE
parls, Feb. 23. Now that the smoke .
of the first round In the new Adriatic
battle is clearing away, the full story
of what happened behind the scenes of
the international political stage of
London last week is gradually becoming
known. Rightly or wrongly, diplomatic
circles here judge the "feature" of that
story to be this:
That Premier Lloyd George made a
well planned, deliberate attempt to bar
America from the affairs of Europe In
order to have a free hand in tbe settle'
ment of the Turkish question, md par
eel out the Ottoman empire to the best
Interests of Britain ; that to bring this
about, he drafted the first note to Presi
dent Wilson, amounting to a short and
out-and-out gnub. '
THREATE5E TJHWCE
This story, for which more than one
diplomatic authority stands sponsor, per
sists In spite of the repeated official
dentals from London that such a first
note was ever drawn. Coming on the
eve of Premier Millerand's departure for
TSITi VF JIIWVI WI1IVI miu D
London for the second series of sessions
of the council, which has quietly trans
ferred its headquarters to the British
capital, these "revelations" are the sub
ject of intense politkssl speculation here.
More sensational still, from the French
viewpoint, than the alleged role of the
British premier, are the methods he Is
said to have used to force France's ac
quiescence in his scheme to eliminate
America from the councils of Europe.
To achieve his purpose he Is said to
have threatened to Premier Mlllerand
the Immediate calling In of 3,000,000,000
francs of short terra certificates owned
In Britain.
By this threat he is said to have co
erced M. Mlllerand to sign the alleged
first brusque note to Wilson, despite the
French premier's strong original opposi
tion. The latter. It Is averred, was
forced to yield, for he could not allow
a new violent slump in the French ex
change on the eve of the French national
loan.-
Another "club" which Lloyd George is
said to have held over the French
premier was the promise of Britain's
support of France s wishes regarding
Turkey.
Premier Lloyd George is said to have
been backed throughout by the Italian
prime minister, Stgnor Nittl, whose sup
port for the British policies toward Tur-
KB was eiliiaieu or Liioyu umtte 9
vocacy of Italy's Adriatic ambitions.
M. Mlllerand. a shrewd diplomat, saw
through the British premier's scheme
from the first and countered It by pub
lication in IEcho de Paris and le Matin
of the tenor of the "defy" note.
PBEMIERB AT OCTS
. So violent was the storm in tbe press
that Lloyd George was forced to back
down and draft a fresh note, which,
couched in a courteous and diplomatic
form, left the way open to further
discussions with Washington.
But M. millerand's action Is said to
have rolled Ms British colleague con
siderably so much, indeed, that, accord
ing to the story told here, he flatly told
the French premier Britain could i no
longer back the French Turkish policy.
Thus the while Turkish question, "set
tled last week." is now to be reopened,
and President Wilson Is expected to have
much to say about it.
It is further stated in well informed
circles ' that the ultimatum to Jugo
slavia, which was the starting point
of the controversy between the allies and
Wilton, was drafted by Premier Lloyd
George entirely against the opinion and
advice of M. Clemenceau, who was then
premier.

WILSOHFACESRAIL
MEN'S PROBLEMS
Railway Brotherhood Heads
Gather in Capital to Consider
Critical Labor Situation.
Washington. Feb. 21. (I. N. S.)
President Wilson today holds the
key to the future of the railroad
labor situation.
This was the general expression Iters
today as 2000 officers of railroad unions
and brotherhoods gathered for s con
ference to decide whether they shall
accept the president's proposals for ad
Justing the wage demand which the
workers have made.
Bert M. Jewell, head of the railway
employes' department of the Federation
of Labor,' stated that the entire action
of the conference would probably de
pend upon whether the president will
assure the workers of immediate action
to adjust their wages to meet living
costs. Most of the representatives who
arrived here today are willing to ac
cept any measure of relief, but were
Insistent that there must be action.
The Cummlna-Eech bill for the return
of the railroads which is before the sen
ate today, was under fire from tbe
railroad workers, and 1$ was regarded
as highly probable that the conference
would ask President Wilson to veto the
bill If it passes the senate.
A movement was also under way to
stage a demonstration against the bill
for the benefit of the senate. Repre
sentatives of the workers were unani
mous in their opposition to the pro
visions of the bill which guarantee a
5 per cent return to the railroads and
declare that the president must veto
this clause or make some sort of a simi
lar guarantee to the workers.
J
OF
(Continued ream Pis One. I
while you wait Is almost unheard of
except, perhaps, in Berlin. The man
ner In which baggage Is delayed and
handled in transit makes it often neces
sary to have the apparel overhauled In
a hurry. Laundries have no Idea of
quick work and the best materials rap
Idly succumb to their processes.
ACCOMMODATIONS LACKING
First class tickets mean nothlmj if the
trains are crowded, as most of them
are. I have often been wedged into a
car with 10 or a dozen holders of third
and fourth class tickets. In most coun
tries the trains are bitterly cold because
of the lack of coal, and this condition
also prevails in many hotels. Some of
the London hotels are reasonably warm,
while others are cold and dismal, and a
room with a private bath Is exceedingly
hard to find.
Both In England and on the .continent
there are many sections where certain
food stuffs are scarce, while such as
you can get Is dispensed with a grudg
ing nana at towering prices. Summer
will, of course, remedy the cold weather
aspect, but to make up for It there will
be plenty of others, so, for Instance, be
ing crashed Into stuffy railway com
partments with the bolder spirits of the
unwashed, who object to third class ac
commodation and soap. That hardly
holds good In England, but applies
mostly to those sections of Central Eu
rope where the surging, throngs are
comprised of a mixture of nationalities.
ETE5 LIQUOR IS R0TTE5
Then, too, it Is a bad plan to reckon
on bow far dollars will go based on ex
change rates, because the great mass of
European purveyors to public discom
fort aie not the last t learn the value
of real money and raise their prices ac
cordingly. To find soap and towels or
even water in a railway car wash room
would be regarded as a miracle, while
drinking water long ago ceased to have
acquaintance with the rusty and dirty
tanks which still may infrequently be
seen clinging hazardously to dusty cor
ners. Outside of a few of the best hotels
the lavatories are miserable dirty affairs
which would not be tolerated by the
board of health in any American town
of more than 6000 inhabitants. As for
liquids, the whiskey and thin, watery
beers are vile, only the French cham
pagnes and various cordials retaining
their former virtues.
J5XCITEME5T PLENTIFUL
Of course, there is plenty to be seen.
The distracted inhabitants of Europe
have not yet hammered vff , the tops
of (he mountains or stopped up the
rivers. I do not suppose they will do
that for some years yet, so aspirants
for a European trip, reed not worry In
that respect. Those craving excitement
are likely to find It. It Is ,very exciting
to give up your hotel to an eager claim
ant and to have your trunks conveyed to
the station and then find that a strike
of railway employes it on. Tou might
even have the good luck to be caught
In a revolution.
. With the recollection of more than a
year's steady traveling over the greater
part of Europe fresh in my mind and
with the prospect of more of it ahead I
am not urging anybody who is not driven
by urgent necessity to undertake a joy
ride on this side until conditions are
gubstantiaUy improved.

an outsider that both aides were in
agreement on all the great major ideas
of the league and the major Ideas of
reservations, but that they are in disa
greement mostly over secondary ques
tions in the reservations.
WOBLD 15 SUSPENSE
"In the meantime the world is held
In suspense. Infinite misery goes on
accumulating. Already the distrust and
undermining of confidence and credit
In the world has crippled our export
market Our farmers are the first to
suffer. The prices on our farm prod
ucts are rapidly falling below tbe cost
of production. If we are to have eco
nomic stability at home, it can be
maintained only through stability of our
agricultural population."
Hoover than launched Into an attack
on the Injection of the treaty into ihe
coming elections.
'There seems to be a notion that ad
vantage could be gained by a presiden
tial election on the minor differences
as to reservations," he said. "I can
not believe that such a notion is se
riously held by the dominant groups
In the senate. Such a thing means that
we shall continue this accumulation of
danger for another year. It Is my Im
pression that there is no party credit
in this position."
Hoover then outlined his suggestions
as to what he believes is the only im
mediate solution of ratification.
KEW RELATIONSHIPS
Declaring the war has brought us
new relationships which we cannot es
cape. Hoover said:
"Our old relations will be expanded,
or. at least, better organised, by the
league. We have two extreme views
among our people on the policies we
should adopt In all these matters. One
contends the Ideal Is Isolation leave
Europe to herself; the other contends
for, at least moral domination as a
mission of international justice. Many
of us want neither extreme. Assum
ing that some day It will be ratified
In some form, the nature of our poli
cies nnder the league has yet to be
developed. We all hope for Its Im
mediate energies in the reduction of
armament, the development of engines
of conciliation, of arbitration, and
codes and courts of international Jus
tice. We hope for its Influence fn the
destruction of the economic barriers
set up before and since the war. which
stifle the recuperation and the free
entry of our own commerce over the
world." i

easily distinguished and classified, when

great a revolution in the matter of mo

terns of silk shirts.
Tbe Ice Palace, with its great floor
space of 360 by 180 feet, containing a
greater square footage than the Coliseum
in Chicago, where that great Middle
Western classic was held, has been
dressed up so that It forms a distinc

by long strips of sky-blue gause, held
by great lengths of wire.
LIGHTING SCHEME BRILLIANT
Four Immense French chandeliers,
each containing IS 9 lights, have been
let down from the celling and furnish
the main part of the lighting effect. Ad
ditional illumination is provided by in
direct lighting globes along the two
sides of the bulldng. Stretches of can
