I also have this desire, but to impose a new spirit upon other nations we must begin by having it at home." Stephen Pichon, foreign minister told tho chamber of deputies yesterday that the Frone.h government has accept ed the principle of the league of na tions and will "work toward its reaali aation. " ' ' We demand no annexations, ' ' Pi chon declared. "Discussion of the boundaries of Alsace-Lorraine does not involve the question of annexations."

The gou ernl situation in Germany as regards supplies of all kinds is bad, but it is not immediately serious, reports of Am erican intelligence officers showed to day. . After a two weeks investigation throughout the entire area occupied by the Aineircan forces, these officers re ported that the food situation is not dangorous at the present time. They believe that within a short time 'work ing peoole in the towns will begin to feel a real pinch. Stocks now on hand. it is asserted, are sufficient to lasv til February 1 or 15 in the towns, while the farmers have been sufficiently fore sighted to store their stocks until thuy have enough to last through the win ter. Inasmuch as a greater part of the region is agricultural, conditions aa a whole aro fairly good.' Many persons in the Moselle valley, wine growers, will bo forced to buy foodstuffs. In the towns war rationing is still being en forced. There is a serious shortage of butter, eggs and milk. Those are prae tically non-existent in the towns. The weultliior citizens are ' able to obtain them by back door dealing. Official Food Allowance. The official food allowance duriug tho last week in December for each person was four pounds, eight ounces of broad, twelve ounces ef flour, gov en pounds of potatoes, ten ounces of canned vegetables, one egg, two ounces of gutter, eight ounces of sugar, twelve uuih-us ui turnip lops. There was no meat to be had. Heavv workers irere permitted an additutjai pound of potatoes. The cost of this, the intelligence re port shows, averages about ton marks daily, while in the -otties, it is much higher. ' Gorman officials claim the potato crop on which is placed the greatest do pendence for food, is a partial failure and doclare the situation may become sorious lato in February unless stocKs not now scheduled make their appear ance. . . - Due to unsettled financial conditions dealers are not reple aishing their slocks as nsual, and their shelves are growing bare. Pay Not K eping Up. Pay for workers ig not keeping up with tho advanced cost of livi.it, borers are avoraging a wage of five to seven marks a week, figures col lected on labor conditions show a basis for complaints. Business men of May on estimated that eight marks a day constitutes a fair living wage, but the workors are not getting it They are averaging about five marks while the women workers an. paid much less. Tho chief of the Coblcnz Bunkers as sociution estimates that business P"u to tlie signing or. the armistice was about 60 pec cent of its normal v.. and that now it has dropped off to 43 per cent.

The situation as regards clothing Is much worse than with food. A com j mon suit for civilians costs from $60 to ' $100 and stocks are low. Tho coat of any kind of cloth or apparel is well the streets are well clothed in appear ance. j As regards footwear there is not servant girlg and waiters in the hotel, where the press is quartered, brouuhr 'out the fact that they had bought shoes I only a few months ago at $5 which was 'considered a high price.

EXTKADIltD-MATCOCK former Head Of British For eign Oilice (Jives Reasons fat Statesaest London, Deo. 12. (By mail) Orsin- ary principles of extradition in no wise apply to William iiohenzollern, in the opinion of Sir Wlllnughby . Mayoock, former head of the British foreign of fice extradition department, who dis cussed the, kaiser s situation in a pre pared statement mado public here. Extradition, Maycock points out, ie' ponds on two cardinal questions. These questions are: "In what state has the kaiser him self individually been guilty of an ex tradition crime f "Does his existing status ronder him immune from the process of the munic ipal law of the isetherland.f "Practically nil extradition treat lcs, ' writes Maycock, "open with a preamble to the effect that the high contracting parties ongaijo to deliver upto each other persons who, being ac cuseii or convicted of a crimo or offense in tho territory of the one party, shall oe found within the territory of the other party. The crimes for which ex tradition may be granted are then set out in detail. ! Obvious "It will be tolerably obvious to any one who takes the trouble to peruse our wn extradition treaty of 1018 with the Netherlands that the kaiser has not i- dividually perpetrated any of ths of fenses in this country which would warrant our demanding his extradition from the Dutch. "The same difficulty presumably would be experienced by all the allied countries. "Whether Germany could demand the kaiser's extradition, were disposed to do so, matter." If abdication has been accomplished ,frmlly' M'ock declares William Hohonzollern then becomes merely a private individual visiting in Holland. However, even if this i the esse, there i's nothing in Dutch law to prevent ths Netherlands from according Count Wil liam all the rights of a soveriga. "Suppose they do so," says May cock, "It may then be asked in what do such privileges consist'" On this point Maycock quotes a rec ognized work on international law writ- tn by W. E. Hall, which states thai a sovereign "cannot Be proceeded against either in ordinary eivil or trim Mavcock concludes that "unless the ; kaiser has formally abdicated i wonia j be np to him to claim In Holland the j imnmnity enjoyed by sovereigns in a .foreign state."

The crowd showed what it. thought of the president iby singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.", Tho workmem then gavo Mrs. Wilson a special choor. "Tho United States always has felt it must separate itself from European politics," Wilson said. "It is not in terested in European polities now, but is interested in a partnership of right. "We will join no combination of power which is not a combination of all of us. Wo are not interested in tho peace of Europe, but in the peace of the world.

Tho quality of his welcome was unchanged is any ef these widely divergent atmosphores. From early morning the streets were thronged in anticipation of the pres ident's appearance. He and his imme diate party arrived here from Carlisle late yesterday and spent the night at the guests of the lord mayor. He rose early and started for the hall at 9:30.
