This Is not so in Paris, where tho open unfriendliness of certain news papers Is echoed In subway, tramway anil hotel corridor conversations. The attitude is usually taken that Wilson is unduly lenient toward Germany. Angry debaters allege he Is more concerned with saving Germany than saV mg France; Resentment In Paris, however, is not confined to the President; the names of Premier Lloyd George and other noted visitors are beginning to be whereas on President Wilson's arrival, scores of prominent names dropped out of circulation. These names are noV coupled with Wilson's, charged with virtual treachery to France.

This cooling of friendship is worryingmany Americans but it leaves the British unruffled.

IfflRTlT L1FERENCE By FRED S. FERGUSON, (United( Press. Staff Correspondent.) Paris, Feb. 12. Whether obstructionists Will gain a temporary victory by blocking final adoption of the League of Nations constitution prior to President "Wilsoh's departure, for the United States, as well as iwrther I stirring tfp Paris with a war scare, will bo determined within the next 36 hours.

The League of Nations committee In scheduled to take final action tqmor row on the constitution, the draft of which being put in shape by a. sub committee The committee's work will be hampered by. the fact that many of the amendments I'ented at recent meetings two en tirplv ntbw nrtioiAti nn V6 hao aAAnrl tirely new articles have been added to the original 22 are not yet entirely agreed on. If the commute cannot reach an agreement tomorrow, submission of the draft to the general Peace Congress this week will be impossible. The amendments to the League's constitution are understood to have been introduced largely by the French who are said to be developing an act uat distrust of President Wiigon, who is insinuated to De nerencung tne Germans and This, feeling not only has been demonstrated in the French press but is alleged to have uevelopcd In various committees.

Tho French aire insisting that the constl tutlon provide for establishment of a grefit International army to be stationed in France as well as further restrictions on German and Russian membership. The war scare has incited the French to propose occupation of Essen and other military extensions the original armistice terms. Well informed military authorities declare that Marshal Foch Is far over estimating the situation when he says the Germans are able to nut an army of 2.000.000 in the field two months. A British officer who Just returned from Germany says that, even if Ger many were in a position to raise a new army, the food situation is such inat sne wouiu De unaDie to reea it more than two weeks. In addition it is Known mat me uerman transport system was in a state of complete breakdown when the armistice was signed.

me roiling stock, automo and horses turned over to the Alliestsince then would' render Immo bile any army Germanjijnight gather, The French, it is charged, in op posing American suggestions for eco nomic leniency to Germany, are try ing to make it appear that the Ampri cans are favoring the Germans where as the Americans are merely trying to introduce me rule or common sense. The French want German factories thoroughly restored industrially ano to on pnn able to compete on an equal basis. Both the Br'tish and Americans appreciate that France is handicapned lbroneh wanton destruction of her plants by the Germans, but. the question arises as to how money may be expected to be obtained from Germany, for reparation if she is not' to be permitted to go to work and earn 1 it. And 'there is always that possi Dillty that Germany delicately balanced political situation may be overturned by vn.lust measures and the whole country thrown into Chaos.

Another fact contributing. to the situation Is that early statements regarding indemnity claims, were based on the Idea of taking territory in lieu of mpney. Since it has become that the old "grubbing" policy will not be tolerated, adjustment of ideas has become necessary. By ROBERT J. PENDER, (United Pv ss Staff Correspondent.) Paris, Feb, 12.

Curtis, of West Plttston, State MWo Inspector of the Ninth, Anthracite. Inspection District, which wag sent to Harrisburg yesterday, being the first from this section to go to the State headquarters, is of more than usual interest, on account of the pe conditions that affected min ing operations during the year.

It was. ong of the war years and throughout the year there was great demand foV'coal for i war purposes. Sfill the production fell far short' of' Wbrit Jt was In tho preceding year. The total amount of goal produced in the Ninth district in 1818 was 3, 041,249. compared with a production of 3,332,972 tons In 1917, a reduction of tons.

This is a decrease of dght cent, in tonnage in one year, despite desperate efforts on the part of the mine officials and Federal authorities to speed up production to meet the unusual demand. According to the mine inspector, the decrease was plainly due to two causesa shortage of 10 per cent in the number of regular employes, due to war conditions, and the influenza epidemic which raged' in the coal region durlng'the later months of the year. The epidemic resulted In as high as 310 employes being off duty, at a single colliery. The highest number of employee qn the rolls of' the.com Lpppies of the Ninth district during me. year was.
