SECRETS OF WORLD WARJWNEHSAD | = ' % Conference Opens * Peace Sessions BY ANDRE.TARDIEU. Captain of the French army! French high com- missioner 1o America. menceau's right Bana“ne the” Conference of Versaitios. CHAPTER XIX. On October 6, 1918, Germany sued for peace. After three weeks of cor- respondence, made public day by day, President Wilson informed Germany that the allies were ready to conclude peace on the basis of the terms set out above. Such was the clear, straight road which led from the formulation of Europe's war aims in 1916 and 1917 and their indorsement by the United States in 1918 to the; armistice in the beginning of Novem- ber, 1919, and to peace. Never had a policy been clearer, more open and more coherent. I ody, before even the negotiations began, knew the objective sought. The peace, with all its principles and all its conse- quences, appeared clearly before the eyes of the nations long ere it was drawn up and signed by the negoti- ators. Peace Born of War. Tn other words, the peace was born of the origin aml character of the ¢ +If. It was willed by the peo- les before being formulated by the ts. It was formulated by ments arly as the end 1916 in harmony with the instinet of the peoples, and when, at the be- Einning of 1918, the United States in turn declared its conception of the peace it only emphasized principles Which neither America nor anybody eise could have varied, for they were of the very nature of things and dic- tated by circumstances. Such beingj its source, the peace could not be a peace of conquest and of imperialism. If it Is not a peace of conquest it is not because of the fourteen points, nor because Mr. Wilson forced his will upon Europe, nor because the allied governments bowed before America through weakness or lack of fore- sight. It is because Mr. Wilson in his fourteen points. his speeches, like the_allies’ declarations of 1916 and 1917. ltke the resolutions of the French parliament of the same year, had merely obeyed the dictates of hi tory. had merely registered the will of the warring peoples. It is because the peace of vic offspring of the war, had necessarily to confirm and not to repudiate the ideals for which the war was fought. Character From Unanimity. The peace derives its whole char- acter from this unanimity of purpos: And if in all of its chapters—whethd they deal with frontiers or new states, whether they deal with reparations or the international affairs of nations —this character reappears, one may regre: and disapprove. if one is of a Bismarkian or of an imperialist_turn of mind. but no one has the right to be astnoished. For all through the war, all the allies without exception, obedient to the people’s will, had constantly proclaimed that, when vi tory was won, the peace would be ex- actly as it was made. The conference ‘meets. The men and the materials are gathered. The work awaits. What method shall be followed. In the early part of Jan- uary. the French delegation had pro- posed a general plan of procedure which M. Clemenceau had asked me to prepare. Fifty-Fight Groups Formed. Under this plan fifty t groups were formed, including, in addition to the plenipotentiaries and the heads of government departments, men rep- type of human ac- tivity, lawyers. financiers, historians, manufacturers, business men, admin- istrators, professors, journalists, sol- diers and sailors, who brought a wide personal experience to every problem along with the results of the prelim- inary studies in which nearly all of them had participated. These coms| missions, albeit organized as occasion demanded from day to day, responded none the less to the requirements of efficient organization. A very large amount of work. in committe meet- i resenting every ings and in reports, was furnished by.i On every question a scrupy Jously fair hearing was given to all interested parties as often as they desired. More than 1,500 commit- tee meetings were held, often sup- plementd by local investigations. It is the conscientious effort of these men that Mr. Keynes has sought to f#idicule in his book on the conference. “The poisonous morass of Paris.” to cite but one of the least violent of his epithets, has naught to fear from his invective. Rarely was a political undertaking more honestly and more scrupulously prepared. I-may add that despite the heat of certain de- bates, all those who took part in it have retained one for another a great! mutual esteem, the esteem of men of SPECIAL NOTICES. them at Paris. | M. TARDIEU BEGINS TO- DAY A FEW REVELATIONS OF THE INSIDE STORY OF THE PEACE CONFERENCE, AT WHICH HE WAS THE RIGHT-HAND MAN OF THE “TIGER,” M. CLEMENCEAU. HE PAYS HIS COMPLIMENTS TO THE ENGLISH WRITER, | KE¥YNES, AND DECLARES THAT THE TRUTH “IS SINGU- LARLY , DIFFERENT FROM THE ARTIFICIAL PICTURE. | good faith and good will who in “a great adventure,” as Mr. House used to say, had dedicated their minds and their hearts to th tasks. e most ditficult of Condemned by Own Words. I shall not waste time in this book on the insults addressed by Mr. Keynes to France, her representatives and her policy. I confine myself for noting once for all that this writer, whose contentions do not withstand exam- ination inthe light of the facts here set forth, condemns himself both by the violence of his words and the fontradiction of his acts.” The vio- his words? Here are a few “Nightmare; empty and arid puppet-show Carthaginian the hot and poisoned atmos- phere of Paris; the treacherous halls of Paris; the morass of Paris; insin- cerity; systematic destruction; Ger- many's outlawry; spoliation; imperial aggrandizements; jurious provisions; ducing ridiculous " and in- the policy of re- Germany to servitude for a generation, of degrading the lives of millions of human beings, of de- priving a whole nation of happiness: <« destructive blow at the so-called international law: some preach in the name of justice: cavern; sophistry and Jesuitical exegesis; dishonorabl 1o the allies in the light of their pro: dishonesty; the grossest food for the cynic; imbecil and ~senseless greed: unveracity crushing policy: policy of pretense $0 contorted, o miscrable negotia- tion: shame; fuise statement, breach of engagements and of international morality comparable with the inva- sion of Belgium; one of the most out- rageous acts of a cruel victor in civilized history.” When a man is right he does not wrlte thus. As to Mr. Keynes' hcts T will merely say thi. “Mr. Keynes was attached as an expert to the British delegation up to June 9, 1919—that is to s six month; for THE EVENING® BTAR, ' WASHINGTON, D. 0, FRIDAY, 'NUV'EM'BER '3, 1921 Wilson Not Dictator to Allies, Says Tardieu. the treaty drawn up with his col- laboration contained all the features for which he has since criticised it so virulently. So he would have been better inspired if he had resigned a few months sooner, instead of abusing to the end the confidence of those he was preparing to insult.”” Recommendations Not Adopted. Complaint has been made, that on some points, and not the least jmport- ant, the recommendations of the com- missions were not adopted by the heads of governments. That is true. But could it possibly have been other- wise? Here again I appeal to reali- ties. The peace was a political struc. ture built by political bodies, known as nations. Besides, it was the peace ——that is to say, a work of harmony following on a period of strife. Two consequences resulted thereéfrom, con- sequences too easily forgotten now that the danger is passed. The first was that technical considerations had sometimes to give way, when the time came for decisions, to considera- tions of general policy over which the experts had no control. The sec- ond was that to reach decision una- nimity was necessary. The peace con- ference was not a deliberative as- sembly, in which a majority could carry~ disputed points. Its conclu- sions, whatever they were, called for the agreement of all. This agreement could only be reached by sacrifices freely consented by each. Does any one realize the immense difficulty of attaining indispensable agreement? In my district just outside Paris there is a bridge built in the days of tolls. To do away with this Irksome tithe only the consent of the two communes interested in the traffic is necessary, and yet for twenty years it has been sought in vain. For results to be at- tained from the work of the confer- ence it was necessary that on every question the greatest nations of the world should arrive at substantial ac- cord. The mere statement of this con- dition gives the measure of the diffi- culty. (Copyrighted by the Robbs-Merrill Company.) Long before this date' 200H INSTALLMENT TOMORROW.

Under the general Supervision of Sir Arthur Willert, head of the pub- licity bureau and one of the advisers to the British delegation to the con- ference on limitation of armaments, offices for the advisers and secre- taries of the delegation are being fitted out at the Franklin Square Ho- tel. The La Fayette Hotel is the head- quarters of the British members and there they are making their home during the ccming session, but much of the work of the conferees will be done at the Franklin Square. At the present time the publicity bureau of the delegation is the only branch functioning, but when the remainder lof the British visitors arrive and take up their duties, very comfortable quarters overlooking Franklin Square will be readiness and completely equipped. q\lrp;krlhur Willert, who for many e SPECIAL NOTICES N ACCORDANCE WITH ACTION HERETO- iu ‘taken, the balance of the tiArty-fifth div- dend of two and one-balf per cent on the preferred stock of the Wasiington Railway and Electric Company is payable December 1, 30 e books for the tramsfer of the preferred stock will be closed from the close of busi- mess on nr!{nb‘\‘ 2 l, to the opening of “isiness on November v B Re BOWEN, Secretary. 4AVANT TO BRING N TOAD OF furiture from Wilke York, Pa.

Yet it should not be, for most of the Chinese visitors here were educated in American uni- versities and have at their command an excellent vocabulary of polished English and a good stock of United States slang. In the Cairo Hotel. where the dele- gation makes its headquarters, the Chinese are heard speaking English among themselves. Whether this is out of respect to Americans, the Chi- nese being known the world over for their courtesy and good breeding, or whether it is the more to familiarize themselves with the language for use at_the conference, has not been learned. Dr. Wellington Koo, one of the lead- ing delegates, is especially known for the pure English he uses. One of the London papers remarked recently that h:)sl command of rhetoric was remark- able.

Scnator Watson read to the Senate today a letter signed by Johnson Me- Fetridge of 2340 High street southeast, Anacostia, offering to co-operate with Senator Watson in brnging to light facts connected with the execu- tion of soldiers in France. His letter sald: “You contend that you have a photo- graph of the gallows used in France, but if you will call on me I shall gladly loan you two photographs of the deed being done at Is-8ur-Tille, France, at approximately the date Gen. Pershing made his inspection of the camp. Should you be interested in obtaining these and will cull on me at 2310 High street southeast, I shall be glad to co-operate with you. Sunday would be an appro- priate time. Hanging Shown. The photographs referred to were shown by McFetridge to a Star re- porter this afternoon. One of them shows a scaffold with the trap about to be sprung. A soldler in uniform, wearing a black hood, can be seen standing over the trap. The other picture shows the victim after the execution had taken place and before he was cut dow McFetnidge was a member of the 34th Engineers, stationed at Is-Sur- Tille, which was a large rail head and supply camp. He said that for a pe- riod of three months executions took place at this camp nearly every Fri- day afternoon. Friday ‘came "to be known as “hanging day,” he said, and the executions were public. Me- Fetridge stated he knew of no cases in which the victims had not been found guilty by court-martial, but he condemned the court-martial system, declaring that it presumed & man guilty until he could establish his innocence, and that frequently vic: tims were without means of obtain- ing facts which would have cleared them.
