Peacc, "With Russia Bolslic-
.Tik, Would Defeat Allies,
! 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.
Alsace-Lorraine Improtemcnts

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

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.

This seems to Indicate that the argu
ments advanced by Reed. Borah, Poln

Mr. Wilson was urged to cry out to
New England, to challcngo It to get
Its opinions out of lavender and sub

otherwise, nnd his address said noth-

By the Associated Press
Tarli, Feb. 24. Premier Clemenceau's
condition continues to bo satisfactory
the Associated Press was Informed this
morning. Tho Premier spent a good
night, It was said.
No ofTlclal bulletin, It was announced,
would be Issued this morning. The
doctors attending lh Premier told
newspapermen; on leaSlng tho house
at 9:45 o'clock, that the Premier's con
dition was very satisfactory. His pulse
was normal and his temperature was
97.8 Fahrenheit.
The doctors expressed themselves as
satisfied that M. Clemenccau was out
of danger and that his complete recovery
was only a matter of a few days' abso
lute rctt.
Returns to Work Thursday
Asked concerning tho date on which
It was probable the Premier would be
allowed to leavo his home, ono of the
doctors said:
"Probably Thursday, If the Premier
follows- Implicitly the Instructions re
garding tho necessary of absolute rest."
Premier Clemenccau expressed today
a ueslro to go to tho War OITIce on
Thursday.
Tho most optimistic omenB aro seen
In the decision of the doctors attending
Premier Clemenceau to publish only one
dally bulletin on his condition, begin
ning today. "The Premler-haB passed
the danger point and Is well on the road
to recovery. All danger of pulmonary
congestion, tt Is said. Is remote.
Marcel Hutln, In the Echo de Tads,
predicts that' the Premier will he back
at work Wednesday and 'will preside at
tho Peace Conference Thursday. Tho
writer quotes the Premier as teasing his
doctors with this remark:
"I am better, but It Is not your fault.
It Is my good nature which has produc
ed It."
Doctor Laubry, the Premier's family
physician, confessed that M. Clemenceau
was right.
Inquiry Into a possible plot against
the Premier according to dispatches
from Geneva, shows that during Decem
ber twenty-four persons, nil anarchists
of Bolshevists, arrived In the neighbor
hood of Vevy, on I.ake Geneva. Among
them. It Is alleged, were Bosslere, Zah

archtsts met In Zurich to organize ft
plot against the French Premier and
other Allied statesmen In Paris. In this
group was Mlslanl, director of a radical
paper, who went often to Geneva to con
fer with anarchists there. A few days
ago Mlslanl was arrested ln the offlces of
tho Bed Flag, tho Spartacan organ ln
Berlin. It Is said he was especially
charged with smuggling revolutionary
propaganda Into Franco via Switzer
land. A correspondent of the Associated
Tress caught n glimpse of tho 'Tiger"
yesterday standing near an open win
dow. He was looking out over a little,
garden and apparently enjoying the
bright sunshine of a balmy spring day.
Tho Premier appeared to bo somewhat
more drawn and pale than usual and
his eyes Beemlngly wero deeper under
the bushy eyebrows.
