Says Francis JTELLS WILSON OF CHAOS r lAmbassndor Calls Outrages "Incredible" Came Over With President By the Associated Presi Ho, ton. Feb. 24. Ambassador Trail cln, home from TtusGia for tl's first tlm In two ycara. had several conferences with President Wllron when coming over on thoGcorgo Washington and made several recommendations for action on the part of the Allied nnd American governments for meeting the Bolshevist menace and restoring Hussln. to the fam ily of nations. Mr. Francis probably will disclose them later when ho appear? before one of the congressional committees. He Is likely to remain In Washington some time, advising the Slate repartment and Congress on the situation as he saw It on leaving. "A reign of terror Instituted by the Bolslicvlkl, maintaining themrehes In power, is prevailing In central and north ern Itussla," said tho ambassador. "The outrages they hae committed arc In credible." "I think It Is Impossible to restore peace to Europe with chaos prevailing In Ilusrla. In fact, with Germany vir tually uninjured Industrially. I am ir suaded that. If a peace Is negotiated with Bolshevik rule continuing In Ttus sit. Germany in twenty scars will be i stronger than she was at the beginning of tho war. . "Germany Is familiar with the Rus sian character and for a generation has been studying It to Influence It If Bus. slan Bolshclsm, under German domi nance, wins, Germany Instead of hat ing been defeated will hate gained a t tctory." Paris, Feb. 24 (By A V ) While the Idea has seemed to prctall In some quarters during the List few days that the proposed conference with the Russian faction leaders on Princes' Is lands has been definitely abandoned, It Is understood now- that nothing has been abandoned except the first Imitation Issued by tho council. 1 Provisional Peace Near as French Yield Continued from P Ono peace Is mado. These Issues are the boundary question relating to Ger many, tho question of reparation, tho question of the economic policy of the Allies among themselves and with .Germany, and the question of tho permanent military establishment of Germany and the Allies. The Issuo of reparation Involves the most time, and tho commission working on It will not be ready to say how much Ger many finally shall pay for two or three months. The American attitude Is that It Is easier to underestimate than to over estimate tho amount Germany can , pay. The Americans are impressed the surprising ability all nations have shown to meet the costs of the war. At the beginning tho nblest financiers thought the world could not stand the financial strain of tho war six months. America's ability to raise forty billions In a short tlmo Is an other instance of the great financial capacity of modern nations. The promptness with which France paid her Indemnity for the Franco-Prus-lan war also Influences the Judgment of those assessing damages against Germany.

(By A P) The at- mosphere around the Peace Conference has changed remarkably In the Inst few ' aays. ine ueuoeranon anu caution which marked the proceedings of Impor tant committees have given away, and even the most conservative delegates are being carried forward at a greater pace.

Tho peace conferees fulled to reach an agreement concern Ins tho military and naval conditions of tho new armistice with Germany Saturday night. It Is understood ono of tho chief subjects of contention Is tho disposition to be made of the surrendered vessels of the German navy.

Wilson Sure of ' League's Success Continued from Pate Ono flaw In a day that was otherwise per fect. Tho more aggressive supporters of the Wilson policies called attention to tho significant fact that no one In1 Congress or In the Senate lias had the courage to flatly propose an alternative for the league of nations Plan. But ' such alternatives as wo have and they arc bleak nnd rather terrible will not bo defined bv thr, President unless he is forced to toUr the country In an effort to get from the people support refused him by Congress. Mr. Wilson arrived In Boston thor oughly Informed In relation to the nature of the opposition formulating In the House and Senate. Thoie who usually reflect the President's view appear to feci that the request for reserved Judgment and silence in the two Houses has been respected. Opponents Made Utile Impression This seems to Indicate that the argu ments advanced by Reed. Borah, Poln dexter and others, made little lmprcs slon aboard the George AVoshlngton, whero the digests of them wero re ceived regularly by wireless. Mr. Wilson and the league of na-' tlons have become political Issues of the utmobt Importance in Massachu setts and elsewhere In New England.

It has already been represented to him By READ WHAT "Absorbing, that Interests In tho country already concerned with the exploitation of for eign territory or deeply concerned with foreign Investments, which at somo tlmo or other may need military support, are busily engaged In organ izing an extensive propaganda op posed to tho sort of settlement that he has proposed at Paris, Tho President might have mado his Boston address one of tho most sweep ing and Inclusive that he has ever delivered. But he has decided to re servo his ammunition and to test at first hand tho feeling of tho country as It Is reflected In Washington. Renounce! Interesting Experiment In making this decision ho renounc ed an opportunity to make an experi ment of historic Interest.

If tho mood of New Rngland ever thaws, tho phenomenon will become .general. Mr. Wilson was urged to cry out to New England, to challcngo It to get Its opinions out of lavender and sub ject them to the pitiless light of these new times. But Mr. Wilson decided otherwise, nnd his address said noth- Ing about Turope that will compare with tho things he will tell the Tor- clgn nelatlons Committee.
