SPEED WORK ON
PRELIMINARY
PEACE TREATY
Supreme Council Will Have
Draft Ready Upon Wilson's
Return to Paris
j Paris, Feb.24.—Results of far-reach
| ing character were obtained at the meet
| ing of the council of the great powers,
j Saturday when resolutions were adopted
; requiring such a speeding up of all im
j portant branches of the work of the
| peace conference as to permit the formu
| lation of a preliminary peace treaty by
I the time President Wilson returns to
I Faris in the middle of March. To ac
complish this all commissions dealing
j with the big questions of reparations.
I boundaries and economic and financial
| issues must report to t lie Supreme coun
j cil within the next two weeks or by
i March 8 at the latest. An extensive
| program hail been carefully matured
I within the last few days anil it was
j brought to a culmination in the after
| noon when A. J. llalfour, the British
i foreign secretary, and Colonel E. AT.
j House, of the American delegation called
I on Premier Clemcnceua in his sick room
! shortly before the council convened.
I Both Secretary Balfour and Colonel
House found the wounded statesman
! dressed anil sitting up and'keenly alert
i concerning the work of the conference
i nnd fully agreed on I lie plan for rapid
j acceleration of work on all subjects,
j Shortly afterward, the Supreme coun
' cil met and ratified tlje program.
The main feature of the plan is to
embody all subjects, non-military and
as well as military, in the preliminary
peace soon to be framed and to have
this broad general document take the
place of a separate military treaty for
disarmament which had been prepared
by the Supreme War council.
But instead of this limited action on
military questions, to-day's decision
broadens the action so as to Include all
important subjects within the scope of
the preliminary peace treaty, thus mak
ing it embrace economical, financial and
all other essentials, subjects including
reparations.
The foregoing action relates only to
Germany, as the conclusion of this pre
liminary peace treaty is regarded as
of chief importance. But similar ac
tion may proceed at the same time con
cerning Austria. Bulgaria and Turkey,
although it is not sure that action on
these countries can be effected within
the same period.

TO AID CONVICTS
Prisoners' Relief Society Says
Business Men Must Help
Ex-Prisoners
Washington, Feb. 24. Rotary
Clubs throughout the country have
been asked to aid in finding work
for men released from penal institu
tions. Five thousand prisoners have
been released in the United States
since the close of the war and, ac
cording to the Prisoners 1 Relief So
ciety, many of them are without
work. It is pointed out that the
situation is serious and unless the
business men of the country assist
by employing ex-convicts these men
will be forced to steal or starve.
in a letter to the Rotary Clubs
it was stated tliat during the last
six years through the Prisoners* Re
lief Socciety 20,000 employers have
opened their plants to men released
from prison and that, of more than
10,000 men sent to positions, 95 per
cent, have proved worthy. The Ro
tarians were asked to use their in
fluence to keep the doors open to
men who have served prison sen
tences and who want an opportunity
to prove their worth.
