y MOST IMPORTANT PEACE PROBLEMS NEARSOLUTION Two Questions Remain, Says Simonds What Are Terms and Will Germans Sign? By FRANK H. SIMONDS (Copyrlgnt. 1919. by MeClure Newspaper Syndicate) PARIS, April 21. The announcement that the Germans are coming to Versailles April 25, serves to indicate that the conference in Paris is drawlng to a close, that a solution has been at last sketched for the largest problems that affect Germany. Five months and a half after the armistice the Germans will be asked to sign a treaty of peace. They will have fifteen days of grace, to expire May 10, the anniversary of the treaty of Frankfort. Two Big Questions Arise Two great questions arise, still unanswered with the arrival of the Germans in sight. The first is: What exactly are the terms of peace, The second: Will the Germans sign? Neither question can be answered by any evidence at hand, although In
that case, oppose every conceivable obstacle to its performance, compelling new efforts, raising new disputes, seeking to postpone payment until Great Britain and America are eliminated from the continent and France and Belgium Btand alone in the presence of a superior enemy? Equally interesting is the question whether modern Germany will follow the example of Prussia after Jena, and evading the provisions of this treaty, as
I Prussia evaded the provisions of the Vtreaty of Tilsit, arm herself for a new
struggle and seek to revive the traditions of Leipslc and Waterloo? These are great concerns for the future. The weaknesses of the terms that stand out at present are to befound in the inumerable list of questions from which disputes can and must arise. The Saar valley solution is one of the most intricate of modern documents, recalling the Algeciras convention, which was a prelude to Agadir and a half dozen Balkan settlements, which led without delay to new unsettlements. Behind and underneath all material progress is that supplied by the league of nations. It is practically the guarantor of many material facts, while by rejection of all French amendments it has deprived itself oi all but moral force. Whatever may be the point of view at the present time, it is at least useful to present the European view of the league of nations in its present form. In both Great Britain and France it has been in all discussions of re-
every caBe so far as the peace terms ) cent days subordinated to practical are concerned a sketch has been put ; questions and there is a universal tenout officially or unofficially. We know ; dency to regard the understanding Germany must recognize the loss of (between Great Britain, France and Alsace-Lorraine, the separation, at I Italy, which more and more takes least temporarily, of the Saar coalon tne character of an alliance, an region of the surrender of the north-; alllance wnich at least has the be. ern half of Schleswig and nearly, if , nniont ,00enr nt tvio Ttnit statoo

Prussia, Posen and Silesia. The fate of Danzig remains problematical. Tho only real change In territorial conditions from those which I sketched six weeks ago lies in the suppression of the Rhenish republic. As to reparation, it has been an

pendent on the performance by Germany of her agreement, exactly as German troops occupied the eastern departments of France after the treaty of Frankfort.
As a supplementary guaranty Ger
the Italian boundaries and claims are sure to be settled by the time German difficulties are out of the way, but at least and at last there seems a real poslbility that we shall be at peace
with Germany within a month, and
although the map of eastern Europe and western Asia will be still unmarked, i

the Rhine is to be the military frontier. For all time Germany is not to have fortifications for troops west of the Rhine, while France in due time will retire within her own frontiers, thus leaving a zone politically German but militarily neutral on either bank of the Rhine, and thus insuring France against a new invasion of her territory while she is unprepared. There remains one single great problem, probably settled, but concerning which no details have been published: Who is to mount guard on the Rhine during the years in which Germany will have to make reparation? France and Belgium certainly, but what of Great Britain and what of the United States? How long will our troops stay there, how long will the British? What guaranties will tho English give of cooperation with the French if the Rhine 13 passed by German troops? What guaranties, if any, have we given? Promises at Least Made Some guaranties have certainly been given by the British, guaranties that are satisfactory to the French. Some kind of promise has been made by the president of the United States. How far reaching or merely formal this promise is remains a great mystery, but it is true that both the British and American undertakings have pleased the French and brought better feeling and sense of greater security than have existed in many weeks. As far as it -affects Germany, the
forthcoming nreliminary treaty of
peace will deprive her of between 20, 000 and 30.000 square miles of Euro
pean territory, inhabited by 6,000,000 to 10,000,000 people, as well as of her
colonies in Asia and Africa, amounting to more than 1,00,000 square miles of territory, and from 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 people. It will disarm her. It will deprive her of her fleet. It will deprive her of her commercial marine. It will temporarily, at least, deprive her of the Saar coal region "-and It will place on her a burden of between $25,000,000,000 and $50,000,000,000 of dollars to be paid as a reparation for her crimes in her war of aggression. Germany will lose her subject populations in Europe, that is, the people of Alsace-Loraine, the Danes of Schleswig, the Poles of the eastern provinces. She may ultimately be permitted to annex the German provinces of Austria, but this remains problematical, and there are many Germans who oppose such annexations, since it would raise for Germany many difficult questions. In sum, as a consequence of her attack on the world, Germany will find herseU disarmed, her economic machinery practically destroyed, as far as world markets are concerned; the iron districts of Lorraine, the coal districts of the Saar and the industrial regions of Upper Silesia gone. She
will have paid the greatest price any country has ever paid in history for what must be reckoned the greatest offense against civilization of all time. Will Enemy Arm Again? Now, brought face to face with these terms, will the Germans sign, or, following the example of the Russians at Brest-Lltovsk, will they refuse to sign and offer passive resistance? Again, if they sign, will they sign in the same spirit in which they igned the armistice and then, as in

A New Medicine
For Catarrh
Especially Effective In Chronic
Case of Long Standing Enormous Demand for it, Say Druggists
Since the virtues of Ice-Mint in the
treatment of catarrh became known in this country, druggists have been having' an extraordinary demand for it. It seems that Ice-Mint represents the new theory of medication containing highly penetrating yet soothing oils which are compounded by a special process in such a manner that when a little is placed just inside of the nostrils that the warmth of the skin liberates a soothing, medicated vapor that penetrates to every air-passage of the head, bringing instant, relief to the sufferer. These medicated vapors that are gradually released by the warmth in the nostrils are with each breath drawn back and forth through tho airpassages, soothing and healing the inflamed membranes. In this manner raw, sore places way back in the nasal passages are healed that could not be reached by the old-time methods of medication. The fact that Ice-Mint is pleasant to
use, cosis mtie. ana does away so
quickly with the disgusting symptoms
oi catarrn is or course mainly responsible for the great demand for it.
Anyone who has suffered with catarrh, clogged nostrils, mucous droppings into the throat, cloudy thinking, head-noises
or catarrhal deafness should by all
means give this a trial. Adv.
