8. Germany will resist if the ieace terms are ttx hard. In Germany the newspapers are violently spreading propoganda that Alsace-Ixrraine is German and must remain German. The peace conference's decision on the German colonies has raised astorm of protest in Germany and even in Weimar protest lists are covered with hundreds of signatures. Unless the allies come to an understanding with the Bolshevists, it is quite feasible that Germany do so, either openly so as to take advantage of the Imge anil -well-trained Bolshevist army or by drifting into Bolshevism because of the lack of foodstuffs and raw materials.

Dr. Bernhard Dernburg in an interview said: "We accepted President Wilson's terms because we thought them impartial but the decision of the peace conference was not impartial. Are not all the colonies, both French and British, to le internationalized? Our rights to our colonies have never been disputed and we shall stand by our rights."

PARIS, Feb- 9. (By the Associated Press.) "While I have said that the war has been won, it would perhaps be more accurate to say that there is a lull in the storm," said Georges Clemenceau, the French premier, in the course of an interview with the Associated least," he added, "it is as well to face squarely all the possibilities." Although Germany had been beaten militarily and had been largely disarmed, there still remained, the premier pointed out, "a chaotic but fruitful Russia from which great help may be drawn by the Teutons." There would be danger, he thought, ot a of the military debate if it wre not for the assurance President Wilson had voiced recently that whenever France or any other free people was menaced the whole world would be ready to vindicate its liberty. In the society of nations, said the premier, each nation must be willing to renounce its traditional aloofness and employ national strength outside its own country, both in war and in peace. Premier Clemenceau warmly praised the help the American troops had given in winning the war for democracy and expressed disbelief that there was a man in the American army of occu pation who regretted that he had be 'fought on the side of freedom cause he had found more creature comforts in Germany than in France. FRIENDSHIP MUST ENDURE.

"Per haps, therefore, I may be indulged to say" a few words to our allies on the other side of the Atlantic, not by way of advice or propoganda, but frankly, as friend to friend.

WISHES OF KIN TO BE CONSULTED WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. Plans for bringing home bodies of all officers, sailors and marines now buried on foreign soil are being worked out by the navy department and the actual work will be undertaken within the next few months-The wislfes of relatives, however. will govern not only as to the return of the bodies but also as to their final disposition. Those brought home either will be sent forwar for private interment or buried in the Arlington or some other national cemetery, as the relatives may decide.

The department's announcement today expressed a preference for bringing home all bodies. It was pointed out that, as a result of the careful preparation made at the outbreak of the war, it had been possible to return the bodies of hundreds of those who died overseas. In the case of marines and naval detachments serving with the army, however, this was not possible, and instead a careful system of permanent marking of graves was main tained. If the nearest of kin of any of the men who gave their lives for their country desire, the dead will be left to rest in France, probably in special purchased American cemetery sites where perpetual care and recognition will be assured. I MILITARY HONORS, le department's statement said that where bodies were brought home for burial in national cemeteries full military honors would be accorded and that where private interment was desired the navy would prepay all expenses up to delivery of the casket to relatives, and that the war risk insurance bureau of the treasury would refund actual burial expenses, not exceeding $100 in each case, upon presentation of the claims.

Relatives of the dead of the navy and naval reserve were requested to write the bureau of medicine and surgery as to the wishes, and those of the dead of the marine corps are invited to communivate with the commandant of the corps.

LONDON, Feb. 9. (Via British Wireless Service.) Important delays are still being experienced in the surrender by Germany of materials provided for under the conditions of the armistice, according to the Paris correspondent of a news agency. On February 2. it is pointed out.

the Germans had given up only 1,385 locomotives out of 2,044, and 1,971 cars and wagons out of 70,000. The latter figures are those fixed in the armistice conditions. As a result of these small returns, the correspondent an agreement was reached at the meeting of the supreme war council yesterday regarding the ne- cessity, in view of Germany's attitude, 1 of making the conditions of a renewal of the armistice more severe by iiwti- tuting a control of Jerroat de-mobil'za-j tion and of the production of factories which were pieviously engaged on war work.
