AMBASSADORS COUNCIL
t0 CONSIDER REPORTS
Military Experts 'Say Ger
mans Have All Improved
Types of Ordnance
PAIUS, March 2. (By the AP.)
The opinion of Marshal Foch
and ;hia colleagues- of the allied
war committee is that the report
ot the. military control mission
shows that , the Germans , persist
. in their determination to maintain
a complete staff of officers for an
; army such as ; existed prior to 1914.
Also, the committee believes.
1 Germany, is educating not only of-
i fleers and sub-alterns to this end.
but to all sorts of camouflage, is
training enough young men to
mobilise a strong fighting army
whenever it wishes to do so.
. Condition Serious
This, . the committee says In a
written opinion which the am
: bassadors council will consider to
morrow is or iar greater import
than the discovery of unauthor
ized war material, although it is
pointed out that the existence of
Illicitly manufactured rifles, ma
chine guns and parts of cannon,
' emphasizes the seriousness of the
situation.
Among the details of the con
trol mission's report to which the
military experts refer is the dis
covery in steel mills of secret
shops walled from the eyes of the
Indiscreet where are 'stored pat
terns and molds for the most Im
proved type of cannon , and eren
unfinished tubes that In a short
time could be completed into guns
ready to fire. Tips given by Ger
man pacifists lead to many finds
of this sort, including more new
rifles than would be required to
arnruhe entire German army on
the basis of the Versailles! treaty.
Information given by workmen
employed in chemical factories led
to the finding of conclusive evi
dence that facilities for the pro
duction of asphyxiating gas hare
been left intact as they existed at
the end of the great war. The
report on this point confirms evi
dence which the allies have had
for some time to the effect that
the Germans has erected new fac
tories that could almost instantly
be devoted' to the production of
vast quantities of the most deadly
weapons which the war developed
and which had ust begun to dem
onstrate how deadly it could be
made when the conflict -ended. .
The discoveries, in the opinion
of the military experts, are ren
dered all the more important toy
proofs of the existence of a mili
tary staff school and the training
of young men of Germany for an
army such as that with which" the
country entered the great war.
Opinion in diplomatic circles
this evening is that the ambassa
dors council will give both re
ports a sort of casual scrutiny and
then the governments will discuss
the Idea of calling an allied con
ference to deal finally with the
matter. This conference probably
will not be called until after the
Belgian elections, as it would be
held in Brussels. V

SEATTLE, March 2. The Pa

Federal prohibition- agents may

Declaring that "it would be in

OPERATION OF STAGES
UPHELD BY HIGH COURT!
State of Washington Not Al
lowed to Place Heavy
Burden on lines j
WASHINGTON,'' March 2. -Two
decisions of far-reaching Import
ance in the regulation of. inter
state motor vehicular traffic y
the states were handed down
day by the supreme court. ;
In cases brought . from . Wash
ington and Maryland, the court,
i opinions by Justice Brandes,
denied that states may interfere
with interstate commerce moving
over their highways In motor Ve
hicles. ; ' -
In deciding a case brought by A
J. Buck; against the director of
public works of the state of Wash
ington, the court held that the
state could not refuse to author
ize licenses for motor busses over
that section of the pacific high
way lying, within Its borders, i
Supplementing its opinion that
unreasonable burdens must not be
opposed by the states upon inter
state motor vehicular traffic, the
court, in deciding a case brought
by George Wl Bush & Sons com
pany, held that Maryland cannot
decline to permit such motor ve
hicles to use! its highways.
Justice McReynolds dissented
from the latter opinion. ;
Declaring - t h a t "appropriate
state regulations adopted primar
ily to promote safety upon the
highways and conservation in
their use are not obnoxious to the
commerce clause where the indi
rect burden imposed upon inter
state: commerce is not unreason
able," the court asserted that the
provisions of! the Washington law
under attack were of a different
character; The primary purpose
of the Washington law was de
clared to be not one of regulation
with a view to safety or to con
servation of the highways, but the
prohibition of competition.
"It determines not the manner
of use but the persons by whom
the highways may be used," the
court stated, adding that the
Washington statute had the effect
of regulating interstate commerce
and therefore was in violation 'of
the federal! constitution.
Pointing but that the Maryland
case did not involve, as did the
Washington! case, the question of
the use of, a national highway
partly constructed with funds fur
nished by the federal government,
the court answered that such a
difference Could not be brought
in question: for unreasonable bur
dens musU not be imposed 'by
states upon! the right guaranteed
by the constitution of unrestricted
interestate commerce.
It was material. In the construc
tion of the: ; interstate commerce
features I presented in the : two
cases, the court said, whether the
obstructions i were imposed, as In
the Washington case by statute,
or as in the Maryland case through
discretion conferred upon a public
service commission. In no case,
the court emphasized, can a state
invade the federal control oyer
interstate commerce.

Parking Ordinance Is Scored

night and stated - their case, but
the city attorney is to present an

rush the matter through and to
have the council declare the ban
removed, from the parking limit.
Thia was blocked by the '.majority
of votes who desired that a "more

ed the case briefly when he gave
