Till; ISItOOIUA'N DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, MONDAY, MAY 12. 1019. GERMANY IS SHORN MB. GUTTERS RUN FUDGE; URCHINS RUN MILES 1 TO CHOCOLATE FIRE PRESIDENT DENIES AMERICAN PEOPLE WORSHIP DOLLAR i Hungarians May Not Be Among Those Present At Parley With Austrians ITALY STILL DISCONTENTED; PEOPLE THINK SHE WON'T GET ADRIATIC RIGHTS Rome, Sunday, May Jl (By the Associated Press) The discontent and irritation of the people are again growing because of news from Paris that Italy is not likely to get what She Claims On thn ytr.rii uVir.ra tha The war debt of the Dual Monarchy is likely to be repudiated through the secession of various subdivisions of the former dynasty.

A precedent for this Is found in the concentration of the civil war debt. It is probable that all the countries formerly parts of Austria-Hungary will be made participants in Hie treaty now being prepared, an important part of which will be the articles defining the boundaries and determining the new states. No official word has yet been received from tho Germans regarding their intentions in the matter of signing suggested changes in the treaty. Eagle Bureau, B3 Rue Cambon. B.V til'V HIC'KOK.

(Special Cable to The Kagle.) Paris, May 12 It is not known today whether the Hungarians will be present at the Peace Conference. An invitation, containing no names, taken by a British courier, may not be delivered by reason of disturbed condir tions growing out of the Hungarian revolution. The conference Is working leisurely on the draft of the treaty with Austria-Hungary, using- the German document as a skeleton. Brazilian Writer Sees U. S.

The "Prussia of Tomorrow OF NAVAL POWER BY PEACE TREATY Terms Really Mean She Will Never Have Another Navy. Once Second in World. Kagle Bureau, Colorado Building. By c. Washington, May Germany will never have another navy.

The naval chapter in the peace treaty would not have been more drastic if it had been written in five words "Germany's navy is hereby abolished." That is exactly what the chapter means. To permit Germany to keep six small battleships, six light cruisers, twelve destroyers, twelve torpedo boats and no submarines, and to forbid her to have any naval seaplanes and dirigibles is equivalent to saying Germany shall have no navy whatever. Not only is the biggest part of the German navy now in the hands of the Allies, but she will not be permitted to keep very much of what still remains in her possession. From the second naval power in the world to a status equivalent to that of some Central American republic gives an idea of what is happening tc, Germany. The six small battleships which are allowed Germany are a grim Joke.

The treaty says that none of them shall be larger than 10.000 tons. There is no ship of that size in the world that is any longer recognized as a real battleship. The were obsolete long ago. The old battleship Oregon, in her prime twenty years ago, has a tonnage of 10,288. The Oregon is so useless for war purposes that the Navy is planning, to send her back to the Pacific Coast and let her spend her remaining days as a patriotic exhibit in one of the ports of the State for which she is named.

Yet if Germany owned the Oregon she would not he allowed to keep her, because the Oregon exceeds the size limit for German battleships of the future. Dozen Navies Could Whip Germany's. With the Gorman navy pared down to the proportions fixed in the treaty, there are a dozen navies that could whip it. Aregentina, Brazil and Chile would all be able to sink the new German navy. Those navies own battleships running from 111,000 to 32,000 tons.

Spain owns bigger battleships than Germany will be allowed to keep. Italv, which has never been considered onoof the great naval powers, would simply overwhelm Germany. Hucli battleships as Germany will be permitted to have are, of course, ancient craft, quite incapable of doing serious harm to a modern ship. They will lie of lie Brandenburg or Worth class, something less than 10,000 tons, with low speed, old-fashioned armament and inferior armor. They were built even before the Oregon.

The other day at Brooklyn the United Stales launched a battleship of over 112,000 a vessel that could meet the whole German navy and laugh at it. There is another provision in the naval chapter of the treaty that is as ironic as that limiting the tonnage and number of I lie battleships. Except in case of a battleship that is lost, will not be allowed to replace one of her decrepit battleships before tho end of twenty years. That, means this: She starts with ships that tiro already about twenty wears out of'dato and must keep them for twenty years more. If Germany should elect to keep the Br.indonhurg, for instance, provided' that vessel is still in existence, she would in the year 10.31, which is twenty years from now, lie the proud possessor of a battleship forty-nine years old.

The keel of the Brandenburg was laid in 1800. Her tonnage, 9,874, just gets within the limit imposed by the treaty. There is no such thing as a new battleship of 10,000 tons or less; ships of that size ceased to be built years ago. No New Destroyers for 15 Years. Destrovers.

as all naval men know, are more perishable than battleships. They change more rapidly and require more frequent replacement. Yet none of the twelve destroyers that Germany will lie allowed to keep may be replaced under fifteen years. By I that tim such destroyers as she now I owns will be ready for the scrap heap. I unless Germany should haul them ashore and put them carefully away in cotton.

The provision that Germany may maintain no naval air forces would in itself be sulnicent to lender her navy almost impotent, even if she were al- lowed to retain her ships. More and more the modern navies of the world are depending upon aircraft, not only I in the scouting work of their fleets, but for offensive and defensive purposes. Planes and dirigibles are becoming the eyes of navies, just as they I are of armies. The treaty puts out Germany's eyes. With no planes and no submarines, even a big German navy with modern ships would not dare to venture out to battle against a well-equipped fleet.

To think of Ihe future German navy going into battle, is beyond the imaginative stretch of any naval officer. There is no German navy. TRAIN CREW KILLED The engine crew was killed and the locomotive demolished when a commuters' train on the Central Railroad of New Jersey leaped a switch at the Jersey City terminal at 8:25 a.m. today. The fireman, whose name was unobtainable, was killed instantly, and the engineer died a few minutes later.

The first two cars of the train, which was of steel construction, left the track, but the only injuries sustained by passengers were small cuts from flying glass, rue locomotive, after it ha jumped tne tracK, struck a steel switch tower, and the force of the lm- pact carried the tower a distance of 100 feet.

It came out today at the calling of the case of the Coastwise Lumber and Supply Company, indicted in the Federal Court for conspiring to defraud the Government by selling "short" and inferior lumber, that neither Judges Thomas Ives Chatfield nor Edwin Louis Garvin will hear the case. An outside judge will sit, as in the Rus-sellite case, but who the judge will be.

Federal Attorney James D. Bell today declined to Ray. The case had been set down on the calendar for trial today, but Prosecutor Henry Ward Beer, because of the failure of the Circuit Court of Appeals to act on the motion before it to return the seized pupers to the defendants, asked that it go over. Judge Garvin postponed the trial until May 21, when, unless a decision adverse to the Government is handed down by the Federal Appellate Court, the trial will go on. The session today was marked again with sharp and bitter clashes between Prosecutor Beer and John J.

Curtin, chief counsel for the defense. Curtin charged that Prosecutor Beer has deliberately concealed papers belonging to the defense, the inspection of which, Curtin asserted, is vital to tha interests of the men accused. Prosecutor Beer, replying to this, said that every paper seized was still "in existence," and reiterated his charge made at the last hearing that the defense is tampering with Government witnesses. "Two bravo and fearless detectives, hired by the defendants, went over to Jersey City and routed out of bed at 1 o'clock in the morning one of the Government Vincent Mc-Horney," said Prosecutor Beer. "They tried to intimidate him into telling what he had told the Grand Jury." Chief Counsel Curtin hotly asserted in answer to this that there was no, such thing as a "property" witness and asked tho court to state that the defense had the right to question a Government witness.

After Prosecutor Beer said that such a statement was "a trick" to bind the Government, Judge Garvin said he would take no action on the motion. Another witness in the case has died. He was John Me-Cotter, whose funeral was held today. McOottcr was the father of Nathaniel McColter, a defendant represented by Alexander S. Drcscher.

His demise was made known through a statement made to the court when his son defaulted on appearance. He was to have been a witness in the case. Thus far 14 witnesses have died. KOREA ASKS BIG FOUR TO GRANT HER FREEDOM Paris, May 12 A petition from tha Korean people and nation, asking for liberation from Japan, was submitted to the Peace Conference today by representatives of Korea. The petition also asks for recognition of Korea as an independet State and for tha nuliflcation of the treaty of 1910.

Washington, May 12 Recognition by the Peace Conference of Korea's claire to independence was urged by Dr. Syngham Rhec, Secretary of State of the Provisional Korean Government, in a messago sent to President Wilson and Premier Clemenceau, asking that the Council of Four grant an audienca to the Provisional Government's representative in Paris. The message said, in part: "It is the hope of the Provisional Government that your honorable body will use its good offices to persuade this offending member to desist from practicing such inhuman tactics for tho purpose of retaining her ill-gotten territory. It is a reflection on your League of Nations, and it is certainly a blot on modern civilization." BRUSSELS EXPECTS WILSON THERE ABOUT MAY 20 Brussels, May 12 (By the Associated Press) President Wilson will visit Brussels about May 20, according to the Independance Beige, which adds that his visit will "dissipate misunderstandings and establish the goodwill of the Allies toward Belgium." Several projects, it is stated, are under consideration, including tho choice of Antwerp as the European commercial base of the Cnited States. Dr, Fpltncio Pessoa, President-elect of Brazil, said before leaving yesterday that he would renew his promise to help Belgium by sending raw materials and organizing a commercial base at Antwerp.

A delegation is now visiting Antwerp with a view to studying by Japan in tha reconstruction of Belgian industry.

LAWYER FOR LUMBER River of Molten Candy Blocks Sewers Floods Streets as Rockwood Factory Burns. "Hey. fellers! I know where there's a fine fire and 'stead of water fomin' out, good hot chocolate fudge is run-nin' all over the streets. You can lick it up.

The cops are there, but they don't mind. They just grin. Come 'long!" Thus heralded to the scene of a Are at the Rockwood chocolate factory this morning at Park and Washington a thousand and one urchins hurried to the fire. They came in groups, alone, from nearby, from miles away; but they came, for word had passed along the river front that an ocean of fudge was flooding the street in the neighborhood of the factory and that it was accessible to all who ventured near. So the whole neighborhood began to resemble that of the Pied I'iper of Hamlin it swarmed with children bound for the big fire.

And when they reached the scene various exclamations of delight punctuated the air. Little fellows fell on their knees before the oncoming flood and dipped it up greedily with grimy Angers. An hour later, when every face was liberally smeared, an emergency call to the truant department was an swered by several automobiles. Chocolate-gorged truants, some with faraway looks in their eyes, were hauled off to school. Here ended the episode that will go down in the anthology of Fudge River as the greatest little Are that ever occurred in Brooklyn.

Breaking out as it did in the early hours of the morning, the fire made some headway before firemen summoned by a triple alarm arrived. The loss Is estimated at $75,000. The fire started in the shipping de partment and by hard Aghting it was confined to that one building where great quantities of chocolate in bean and bar were stored in burlap bags. Spontaneous combustion is thought to have been the cause. For three hours it raged and as quickly as water was pumped into the building it ran out.

heavily laden with its burden of chocolate. This soon began to cause trouble because the sugar and butter in the composition formed in crusts about the sewers at the end of the street and choked them so badly that Hugh Ward of the Street Cleaning Department found it necessary to call upon the Sewerage Department for assistance, asserting that "the flood was becoming so menacing that it was deep enough to float a rowboat for two blocks along Flushing ave." It flowed through the street like molten lava with a foamy cap of white formed by the sugar and butter that rose. With the many engines that arrived came Deputy Fire Chief of Brooklyn John O'Hara and Deputy Fire Commissioner William F. Thompson. William T.

Jones, president of the Rockwood Company, arrived soon after the fire started and watched it during tho night. At 11 o'clock this morning it was practically out. but fire and police details were still on the scene. A still alarm turned in at 11:30 brought a special from the Fire Department to pump the water out of tho basement of the building. BOY BRINGS HOME BOMB There was excitement aplenty at 150 Sheridan this borough, last night, when Russell Gordon, 1 4, strolled into the midst of a dinner parly at his home there with a nice little German grenade, in splendid working order as was later learned, under his arm.

The diners were curious at first, but a second look at the grenade convinced them that war was well dangerous, and they went away from there with more haste than dignity. After young Gordon and his grenade had been removed, Inspector Edwjn Home of the Brooklyn Bureau of Combustibles was summoned. Water treatment was given the grenade, after which everyone felt safe to investigate the label it bore. A warning not to hold it more than twenty-five seconds and the name of a German firm were stamped on it. The grenade was cylindrical in shape and filled with an explosive.

A fuse was attached. Officials say that in all probability the grenade was brought, from France a soldier nnd then thrown into a vacant lot where Gordon found it. THIEF IS CHAINED TO AUTO HE STOLE Harry Resin, 17-Year-Old Youth, Brought Back From South to Stand Trial. A dust-laden, mud-caked automobile drove up to Police Headquarters, Manhattan, today with two bedraggled occupants, who attracted the attention of the crowd of idlers on the sidewalk. They saw Detective George J.

Andrews of the automobile squad remove his goggles, step into the rear of the tonneau and unfasten a chain which attached a pair of handcuffs to an Iron stanchion at the bottom of the car, releasing a prisoner, who was led into the building. Detective Andrews reported to Inspector John J. Cray that he had brought back Harry Resin, 18, of 77 Bay Bensonhurst, from Raleigh N. and had ridden the entire distance with the prisoner handcuffed and chained in the rear of the car he is alleged to have stolen. An enforced stay at Fredericksburg, Va from Thursday until Sunday while tho automobile was undergoing repairs, almost resulted in the escape of Resin from the local jail.

When Andrews called for his charge, he found that the prisoner had already removed part of the wall of his cell, and it is the belief of the detective that if he had been given a few hours more he would huvo succeeded in removing enough of the masonry of the cell wall to effect an escape. Resin was arrested in Raleigh on May 7 and Andrews started on the overland Journey the following day. Tho trip from Fredericksburg was made in 24 hours of continuous travel, stopping only long enough for food. Resin is charged with having stolon an automobile belonging to Miss Lil-lian Duffy, a school teacher of S74S Bay 16th BensonhurHt, on April 2, while tiie car was standing in front of her home. It was understood that he had headed South, and the police wired the various towns along the route ho was believed to have taken.

When Resin rolled into Raleigh Chief of Police Harbour recognized the license number and nabbed the fugitive. When Andrews arrived there he decided to bring back both the automo- bile and the' prisoner. Willi the car stocked with a bottle of water and a I basket of food, and the prisoner chained in tho rear of the tonneau he started North. Knglne trouble developed on the way and he put into Fred-I cricksburg for repairs. I Botli the driver and the passenger were cramped with fatigue and covered with grime when thoy readied Headquarters and the automobile looked somewhat the worse for wear.1 Ad.rJ.u,U!: Tn President Wilson is obstinately ob durate in his views regarding Fiume, snowing that he has not changed his mind." Other reasons for dissatisfaction are the Anglo-Franeo-American alliance, from which Italy was excluded; the asserted project that the former Austrian merchant marine will be divided among the Allies, although it is held it belongs entirely to Italian firms; the clause in the treaty with Germany saying the three principal powers weru sufficient to ratify the treaty, thus, it is alleged, again excluding Italy, and the reported scheme to place Ethiopia under the protection of France.

AMENDED COVENANT DELIGHTS VISCOUNT GRAY; RELIES ON 9 PREMIERS London, Sunday, May 11 Viscount Grey of Falloden, former Secretary of Stale for Foreign Affairs, says in an interview that he is delighted with the amended Covenant of the League of Nations, having feared "that much less might be accomplished at the conference." Viscount Grey considers the key to the whole organization is the annual meeting of the nine Premiers or Foreign Secretaries represented on the Council. "So long an that meeting is regularly hold and wisely inspired." he soys, "so long may we confidently hope the peaco of the world will be secure." He believes that armaments will diminish as the League becomes strong and vital and a sense of security, and that eventually those who now fear it does not go far enough nnd those thinking that it goes too far will both be satisfied." Ear! Grey has the greatest confidence in Sir Eric Drunimond, the First Secretary General of the League, and is especially pleased to know that Sir Eric's election was originally suggested by the American delegates.

Paris, Saturday, May 10 President Wilson, in his address today to the French Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, entered a strong disclaimer of the Idea that the American people were largely materialists, or dollar worshippers. "I have had In recent months one very deep sense of privilege," the President said. "I have been keenly aware that there have been times when tho peoples of Kuropo haven't understood the people of the United States.

We have been too often supposed to have been devoted chiefly, if not entirely, to material enterprises. We have been supposed, in the common phrase, to worship the almighty dollar, "We have accumulated wealth, sir; we have devoted ourselves to material enterprises with extraordinary success, hut there has underlain all of that, all the time, a common sense of humanity and a common sympathy with the high principles of justice, which has never grown dim in the Held, even, of enterprise, and it has been my very great joy in these recent mom lis to interpret the people of the United States to the people of the W'orld." "I have not done more, sir. I have not uttered in my public capacity my own private thoughts. I have uttered what I have known to be the thoughts of the great people whom I represent. I have uttered the things that have been stored up in their hearts and purpose from the time of our birth as a nation." It was at this point that the President made his declaration that the American people, who came into the world consecrated to liberty, were ready to cast in their lot in common with the lot of those whose liberty is threatened whenever the cause of liberty was seen to be imperiled.

Spirit of the Amerlraii People. "This is the spirit of the people of the United Slates," he continued, "and they have been privileged to send 2, 000,000 men over here to tell you so. It has been their great privilege not merely to tell you so In words, but to tell you so in men and material the pouring put of their wealth and the offering of their blood." President Wilson alluded to his studies in the field of political science and of the attempts he had made "to put into tho words of learning the thought of a nation, the attitude of a people toward public affairs." He continued: "A great many of my colleagues in American university lifo got their training, even in political science, as so many men in civil circles did, in German universities. I have been obliged at various times to read a great deal of bad (ierman, difficult Herman, awkward German, and 1 have been aware that the thought was awkward as the phrase, that the thought was rooted in a fundamental misconception of the state and of the political life of peoples. And it has been a portion of my effort to disengage the thought of American university teachers from tho misguided instruction which they had received on this side of the sea.

Their American spirit anticipated most of them, as a matter of course, but the form of the thought sometimes misled them. They speak too often of tho state as a thing which would ignore the individual, as a thing which was privileged to dominate the fortunes of men by a sort of inherent and sacred authority. His View of the State. "Now, as an utter Democrat, I have never been able to accept that view of the State. My view of the State is that it must stop and listen to what I have to say, no matter how humhle I am, and that, each man has the right to have his voice heard and his counsel heeded, in so far as it is worthy of him.

"I have always been among those who believe that, the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking. It cannot be so easily discovered if you allow him to remain silent and look wise, but if you let him speak the secret is out and the world knows that lie is a fodl. Folly Defeated by Exposure. "So it is by the exposure of folly that it Is defeated not by the seclusion of folly, and this free air of free speech men get into that sort of communication with one another which constitutes the basis of all common achievement. France, through many vicissitudes and through many bitter experiences found the way to this sort of freedom, and now she stands at the front of tho world as the representative of constitutional liberty."

He adds: "The United States wants to obtain as part of the payment of the debt of France and England a bond for Bra-zil's debts to those Powers. On the day this is realized, Brazil will be sold to the United States, which on the first occasion we fail to meet the interest will do to us as she has done to Central American nations." Senor Albuquerque belittles the part the United States took in the war, waving that the only American victory was the battle at St. Mihiel, which, he says, was "gained with English artillery and French aviation," and attacks the censorship, which ho remarks has "prevented these and other facts from becoming known." He attacks the Monroe Doctrine and President Wilson, ridiculing the President's activities in the Peace Congress.

The remainder of the formula may some 'day be the means of fame and for-j Uune for me. It would be foolish to give it away now. i "Besides," he. hedged, "there is still that Nineteenth Amendment to cope with. I make an appeal to the law- 'vers of Brooklyn: Define the law, de-; it my wav if possihle, and pretty soon the.

formula for the 'Prohibition i the drink that is not drunk, but which can make one drunk, will be given to the world." That is where the matter stands, Surclv there is a lawyer or a judge here 'who will feel the pulse of the people and render his decision with due regard for the exigencies of the i times. i Dr. Olsen will make further expen-j mcnts on the "cocktail." It is possihle I to flavor it to suit any taste and to include a much alcohol as is desired. There is no odor, an excellent taste and sufficient "kick." Tho world owes much to Dr. Olsrn if tho desired interpretation conies through.

Rio Janeiro, Sunday, May 11 An attack upon the United States made by Madeiroa de Albuquerque, generally considered one of. the leading journalists of Brazil, in a long interview printed today in A Noite, concludes as follows: "The United States incontestably is the Prussia of tomorrow." Senor Albuquerque, who has Just arrived from the United States, says: "I return from the United States with much enthusiasm for Kngland, Italy, France, Belgium, Japan and, perhaps above all, Mexico." He accuses the United States of "fomenting revolutions in Mexico," and says that "Brazil is considered by COMMITTEE TO BOOM WILLS' CANDIDACY Borough-Wide Campaign Starts to Secure Republican Surrogate's Nomination for E. D.

Man. A bnrough-wldc committee to foster the plans to secure tho Republican nomination of Louis C. Wills for Surrogate of Kings County is being organized. With the conclusion of the Victory Loan campaign, Wills' candidacy is being pushed. Victor A.

Lers-ner, controller of the Williamsburgb. Savings Bank, who launched the Wills boom at the Williamsburg Luncheon Club dinner, some months ago, has started the committee in Wills' behalf. Among those who have already agreed to serve are James H. Post, Col. Andrew D.

Baird, president of tho Wil-liatnsburgh Savings Bank; Nathan S. Jonas, president of the Manufacturers Trust Company; J. Adolph Mollen-haucr, William S. Irish, vice president and cashier of the First National Bank; Taul E. Bonner, president of tho North Side Bank; Fred'L.

Gross, Walter Gretsch and Uoy M. Hart. The fact that President of the Manufacturers Trust Company has come out for Wills is considered sig-niticant, as Wills is seeking the. Republican nomination and Jonas is a Democrat. John H.

McCooey, the Democratic county leader, and Borough President Edward Riegclmann urged Mr. Jonas to withdraw James M. Beck as the principal speaker at the Victory celebration at the Academy of Music a tew months ago, and on his refusal to comply, a controversy followed, which resulted in the bank president resigning as chairman of the Weleomo Committee. If Wills fails to get the nomination for Surrogate there was talk in the Eastern District today that in the event of Riegelmann being the Democratic candidate for Supreme Court Justice, Willis would oppose him on the Republican ticket. Wills is one of the most popular men in the eastern end of the borough.

He is a lawyer. It is said that Republican County Leader Jacob A. Livingston favors his nomination for Surrogate after complaint had been made that the Eastern District has been neglected from an elective office standpoint. He has always taken an active interest in Republican politics, but has never held office. NEW CONSORTIUM FOR FINANCING CHINESE LOANS Paris.

"FAKE" HERO SCORED; GETS LONG SENTENCE! Wore at Trial War Medals That He Had Bought-Other Guilty Ones Sent to Prison. Felix Martine, 31, of 6 Fleet a member of the 15th Regiment, was sentenced today by County Judge May to Sing Sing for not less than two years and eleven months and not more than six years.

Martine had been convicted by a jury of assault and robbery. In court during his trial, Martine i wore a number of medals which, it I was afterwards learned, ho had pur-1 cnasea wane ai camp Upton. Although he had been on the other side, the records showed that Martine had spent most of his time in the guard house. "Martine." said Judge May, "the Jury was able to see that you were not tho sort of man whd would earn upon the battlefield a medal for bravery, because tho act of which you have been found guilty was a cowardlv. brutal act.

Because you lied to the court, I ought to give you an addi- tional sentence, but 1 ant goinK to give you the same as the man who was with you, who, aided and assisted you in this brutal crime." A sentence of from five to ten years in Sing Sing was imposed by County Judge Nash on John C. Varanelli, 2.2, i of 725 Metropolitan who had stabbed his wife. Joseph Kachanskl, GO, of Mills Hotel No. 2, Manhattan, was sen- fenced to Sing Sing for five years by Judge Nash. Kachanskl had pre- vlously been convicted of receiving stolen goods and on this occasion he stole jewelry to the value of $625.
