The interallled occupation of the Joft bank and the bridgeheads of the Rhine are fixed at fifteen years. Evac- uation is to be by zones, every five Years, but only on condition that Ger- many faithfully complies with the peace treaty. If faithful compliance 18 lacking there {s to be no evacua- tions at five-ycar intervals. Even at the end of fifteen years we retain, in any event, a safeguard; if the guar- antees against an unprovoked German eggression are deemed insufficient there Is to be no evacuation. Finally, if, after evacuation. Germany fails in Per obligations to pay, there is to be reoccupation by all the allies—not by France alone. Remember that, from the beginning of January to the end of April, the participation of the allies in the occupation and even occupation itself had been refused us; that as a substitute we had been offered the two treaties of guarantee and that at | the end of the discussion we had both the treaties and the occupation. We had gone a long way. But such was, notwithstanding the advantages won by M. Clemenceau, the attachment of some great men to our original proposal that, even be- fore the agreement was made public, strong opposition broke out. Hardly ‘was the discussion between the allies closed than it began between the !‘ranch Marshal Foch, whose views e French government had so | nrongly defended, feels that the time 1imits accepted by M. Clemenceau de- stroys the value of the guarantee. Censors Forbid Reproduction. He does not hide his way of think- ing even from the press. On April 17 ' he refuses to transmit to Gen.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 12.—Political tnterest in England centers upon the annual conference of the unionist party to be held at Liverpool next week, under the chairmanship of Lord Derby. Political correspondents * ha hinted at a split in the party, with the formation of an independent conservative party under the leader- ship of Andrew Bonar Law, former government leader in the house of commons. Much of the situation hinges on Mr. Bopar Law's attitude toward the Irab peace negotiations, in which he 1 mn!ented as espousing Ulster's cause. An article in the Yorkshire Post, ascribed to Mr. Bonar Law, urges that the unionists, by all their pledges in the past, are bound to sup- port Ulster if she refuses to make ! any more concessions. ‘Would Still Follow Premler. In the event of a unionist split it 1s belleved in some circles that the bulk of the party would still follow Pre- mier Lloyd George, and even the unionists themselves doubt whether Mr. Bonar Law is politically and phys- ically able to lead a conservative se- cession against the whole of the In- fluence of his former colleagues in the cabinet. It is admitted also in unionist quar- ters that opinion concerning the reso- lutions to be submitted at the Liver- pool conference in regard to the Irish position is sharply divided. Election Talk Revived. Talk of a general election has been revived in several quarters, but no- body speaks boldly in favor of it, and it is generally conceded that whether it is called depends solely on the Irish developments. ‘The laborites have openly voiced an unwillingness to consult the coun at present. The free liberals, de-| spite the recent assertion of former Premier Asquith that the coalition was breaking up, have been counseled by other influential advisers to be content yet awhile to preach the “pure gospel of the old faith,” which means going on quietly for the time being. DEAD AFTER GUN BATTLE ON ALLEGED LIQUOR TRIP Man Believed to Be From Marshall and Others in Car Hit by Shots of Sheriff’s Posse. Special Dispatch to The Btar. ‘WINCHESTER, Va., November 12— A young white man, believed to be Robert Lunsford of Marshall, Va., died in Memorial Hospital from pis- tol wounds sustained late Thursday night in a gun battle with Sheriff Hubert Keyser of Rappahannock county, near Washington, Va. Lunsford and several companions ‘were said to be transporting liquor in an automobile, and were commanded to halt. Instead, they opened fire, which the sheriff's posse returned. ‘While Lunsford and his friends were endeavoring to escape he was mor- tally wounded. The others got away. The affair threw the county seat into Intense excitement, and many oitizens rushed from their homes with shotguns. ‘The wounded man, shot through the liver, was brought here during the night.

University of Georgia’s Campaign for War Memorial Fund Succeeds. ATHENS, Ga., November 12.—With subscriptions amounting to $1, and others still coming in, the Uni- versity of Georgia’s war memorial drive for a million dollars came to a successful eonclusion last night. ‘The money is to be used in the eres- tion of a war memorial building to the sons of Georgia killed in the world war, to bulld new and modern bull ings on the eampus, and to provide funds with which to increase the sal- aries of members of the facully, P PUTRR . 120,000 | b Today M. Tardieu tells how Marshal Foch nearly upset the peace regotiations by causing to be printed in Freneh news- papery a diatribe against the peace conditions, He tells how the “Tiger)” M. Clemenceau, “called down” the marshal of France and made him say he wan sorry. “They are pulling your leg,” sald Clemenceau. The intimacy of this recital is refreshing. but which none the less has its echo in the lobbies of parilament, where a resolution prepared to be pre- sented to the senate. These incidents, and others as well, create a certaln amount of friction in “led circles. They oblige M. Clem- enceau to defend the commander-in= chlef with some warmth against the criticisms of some heads of govern- ments, who blame his recent inter- ventions. M. Clemenceau regrets them as mwch as they do. But he makes it plain—with generous fore-, ght—that the men of victory must | ick together, and “that the fmage they hold in the natlon’s mind be not broken.” The discussion is somewhat t! mander-in-chief has no right to adopt the attitude he has assumed in the past two days. They say: Obatacles to Decisions. “We very willingly placed our armies_under the supreme command of a French general for whom we have the highest admiration lnd t deepeat gratitude. But thi eral, no matter how great hi clory. is an obstacle to the decisions of the governments. We cannot accept this situation and permit the authority we have conferred to be turned It is a fundamental que: tion of constitutional responsibility.’ They add: “We are today, as yesterday, ready to accept a French general as com- mander-in-chief, but we must hav a general who obeys the govern: ments." M. Clemenceau, to gain time, him- self sends to_ Gen. Nudant the age which Marshal Foch had d clined to transmit, and on the 18t in the evening asks M. Poincare to summon_ Marshal Foch. On the n:h the heads of the allied governments asked M.

NEW YORK, November 12.—Hope of averting the garment strike, In- volving more than 650,000 workers, next Monday, was revived today with & meeting between Secretary of Labor Davis and a committee of employers scheduled at Washington and a dis- play of conciliation on the part of the workers made to United States sena~ tors striving to prevent the strike. Louis Lustig, secretary of the Cloak, | Suit and Skirt Manufacturers’ Asso- jclation, announced last night that a committee representing the associa- tion would confer this morning at Washington with Becretary of Labor Davis on working conditions in the garment trade. The committes was -ppolnud ..t the suggestion of Secre- tary Davis, he said. Wll.l Makes Offer. Benjamin Schiessinger, president of the !nt‘mutlonu Ladies’ Garment ‘Workers, in a letter to United States senators, who had urged the manu- facturers to postpone their new work- ing conditions for the trade for two weeks, offered the manufacturers a proposition, which, {if acceptable, ‘would defer action hy either side until the middle of next January. The new ‘working conditions which the manu- facturers proposed to put into effect next week included piece work and an increase in working howrs from forty-one to forty-nine. The New York unfon workers voted almost unanimously to strike next Monday as & result. Favors Investigation. President Schlessinger in his letter said that a bi-partisan commission was created last June to consider means of increasing production in the trade. That commission has never reported, he said. The strike would be called off immediately, he declared, if the manufacturers would consent at once to continue operations under the existing agreement, while the Joint commiasion resumes its work and_makes definite recommendations on January 16. If the manufacturers should refuse the strike would be forced, he asserted.
