NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Formal Sessions of the Peace Congress Begun; League of Nations Up First. MANY PLANS ARE PRESENTED Americans Carefully Safeatiardlno the Monroe Doctrine Poland to Get Help Armistice Terms Mado More Drastic United States For National Prohibition. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Unless the peaeo congress, which held Its first formal session on Satur day, changes Its mind, the world must bo sntlsfleil hereafter with such Infor mation concerning Its deliberations ns is contained In the otllclul communique Issued dally. I'osMbly because of a breach of confidence on the part of eonio correspondent, the supreme nl lied council adopted a resolution that the delegates shnll not talk outside the peace chamber of the doings of the conference. The hundreds of high priced Journalists gathered In Paris from nil parts of the world enn devote their time to describing the majesty of tho Arc de Triomphe and the allure ments of the l'nrls boulevards. Tho American and British correspondents fonnnlly and energetically protested against this rigid censorship. Later tho rule may bo relaxed, otherwise the demand for "open covenants of pence openly arrived at" goes by the board. In the preliminary work of tho con ference the make-up and procedure of tho congress were settled. It was de cided that the United States, the Brit ish empire, France, Italy and Japan should bo represented by live delegates apiece. The British dominions and In dia besides are represented as follows: Two delegates respectively for Aus tralia, Canada, South Africa and In dia, Including the native stntes, and ono delegate for Now Zealand. Brazil has throe delegates. Belgium, China, Greece, Poland, Portugal, the Czecho slovak republic, Itouiniinln and Serbia lmvo two delegates apiece; Slam, Mon tenegro, Cuba, Guatemala, Haiti, Hon duras, Liberia, Nicaragua and Panama ono delegate nplece. Tho delegates will voto as units. to A great deal of time last week was devoted to consideration of the various plans for the league of nations, tho organization of which was tho ilrst matter taken up by the penco dele gates after they began their formal sessions, in accordance with the de sire of President Wilson. Many nchemes for the league were submit ted, these dividing themselves gener nlly Into two groups which differ as to the means of making effective the de cisions of the league. One holds that the rulings of tho society of nations should he backed up by Its combined physical farces; the other, that such force will not bo necessary. In the ex amination of the plans It seemed cer tain that n compromise would not be dilllcult to reach. Prodded by the expressed anxiety of tho senate, the American delegates carefully examined every scheme sub mitted to maku sure that nothing In them endangered the cherished Monroe doctrine. They appear to bo satisfied that this American Ideal Is not Imper iled nnd that, on the contrary, tho league would In effect extend the prin ciple of the Monroe doctrlno to the whole world. The senate Is not so sure of this, and Senator Borah, who strongly opposed the formation of tho league, Introduced a resolution which, If passed, would serve notice that the senute will not ratify a treaty the pro visions of which conflict with the Mon roe doctrlno and with the traditional duty of the United States to euforee that principle. Ra Tho matter of extending nld to Po land was one of tho serious things dis cussed last week, espoclully herlous liecuuse It probably Involves tho prob ?"- . tW ' ?&&m22Sm8820 lem of what the allies shall do In the rase of Itusnlii. The American and British delegates were said to have agreed that, while none of their own troops should be sent to help the Poles, the two Polish divisions recruit ed in the United States should be sent from France through Germany to as sNt the government set up by the Po lish national committee. These troops would co-operate In stemming (lie tide of bolshevlsm that Is flowing west from Ittissln, making the new Po'and a strong bulwark against that flood of anarchy. The plan Is a concession to the Ideas of the French, who are con vinced that bolshevlsm cannot or should not be dealt with militarily In Itussla by the allies. It also Is likely to compel General Pllsudskl to come to an agreement with the Polish na tional committee ns represented In Poland by Paderewskl. IDS The Spartncan revolution In Ger manyor at least In Berlin hns fizzled out. Llebknecht nnd Itosn Luxemburg were Captured and, according to report, killed. The other leaders are under ar rest or dispersed and some hundreds of their followers are dead. After a week of terror tho police were reinstated and armed, order was restored and busi ness was resumed. In some other cities the "Beds" nre still In control, but their chance for ultimate success seems to have gone glimmering. For one -thing, Illndenburg still has under his command an elllcleut army of more than n million men, nnd most of these troops he Is holding true to the Ebert government. fa Tills fact about the German army leads to tho warning Issued by the Central News of Loudon, that n situa tion exists In Kurope under which wnr may break out again at nuy time and that the British scheme of demobiliza tion will lmvo to be radically changed which may also apply to American demobilization. An "unimpeachable authority" Is quoted as saying that Great Britain will have to keep an tinny of occupation on the Ithluc for many months, which accords with the opinion of others concerning all the armies of occupation. It may he this note of alarm was caused by the dis covery that the Germans were trying to evade some of tho terms of the armistice and by the more drastic condltlous Imposed by Mnrsha! Foch In granting an extension of the armi stice. It was reported the marshal even threatened to march directly on Berlin If the Huns didn't fulfill their pledges. It was stated unotllelully that the new terms Included the following: First Hetrlbutlon upon the Ger mnns for the murder and ill-treatment of allied prisoners. Second The machinery nnd goods stolen by Germany from France and Belgium to be at once given up. Third German gold, amounting to more than ?."00,0(K),0()0, to be moved from Berlin to n safe place, probably Frankfort, and protected from bolshe vlsm In Germany en route. Certain other property to be surrendered. Fourth Germany to give over her shipping, of which she Is believed to have -1,000,000 tons, to carry food sup plies to countries In Uurope In need of them. Fifth Any U-boats on the stocks to be handed to tho allies for their dis posal, or to be destroyed, and no more submarines should be built. Ha Germany Is fully Justifying all those who refused to believe In her good fnlth under any circumstances. She Is determined not to permit the estab lishment of an Independent Poland be cause she still proposes to grab enough In the east to make up for her losses on the west, and a Polish Ktnte would prevent this. The Germans are said to bo supplying arms to the hoi shevlkl who aro ravaging parts of Poland, and there was heavy fighting Inst week between the German troops und the Poles near Kulinar. It was re ported that Illndenburg himself would lead the German army against Poland. Its The world-wldo activities of the bol shevlUl took In Argentina, Uruguay and Peru, where thero were desperate strikes nccompunlcd by bloody fight ing, engineered by bolshevik agents. They also sent from Uusslu -1,000.000 gulden to Holland for a roup d'etnt and riotous demonstrations planned for January 20. In this plot the Ger JP man radicals wero co-operating with Wyncoop, the Dutch socialist loader. Ha Because of dissension over Italy's territorial claims the cabinet resigned and Premier Orlando was commission ed to form a new one. Several mem bers were bitterly opposed to Foreign Minister Soiinlnii in his demands that Italy be given the whole of the Dalma tian coast, holding with President Wil son that part of that territory should Justly he given to the Jugo-Slav state. Pa Little Luxemburg also had her crisis last week. After a republic had been proclaimed, nnd suppressed within a few hours by the French military au thorities, Grand Duchess Marie abdi cated and was succeeded by the eldest of her sisters, Princess Charlotte. Marie had lost the favor of her people because, though she protested against the passage of the German nrmles through the principality, she after ward entertained high German per souages. fa Speaking of high personages, thero aro some queer reports coming from the refuge of the former kaiser In Holland. It Is declared he Is border ing on Insanity, talking utmost Inces santly nnd Incoherently and wandering nbout at night. It Is also said that his health Is falling rapidly. Tho Germans, who supported WUhelm heartily until he turned out to be u loser, are now heaping abuse on him nnd the German commission appoint ed to determine his responsibility for the war has recommended that he bo brought to trial, declaring that mar ginal notes in the kaiser's handwriting on papers in the foreign ofllce prove him to have been one of the chief war makers. This venomous course of tho Germans certainly Is superfluous, for the allied governments will see to It that Wllhelm and others get the pun ishment they so richly deserve. to The desperate need of the liberated peoples of central Kurope for food will be relieved as soon ns possible. Urged by President Wilson, the American house of representatives appropriated 9100,000.000 for this purpose, and It Is understood the other allied nations will do their part. The money Is not to be spent for food for the Germans, but inucji of the relief will go to the peo ples formerly under the rule of tho Fniperor of Austria. The British army In Italy did a graceful thing the other day when they sent several tralnloads of food to starving Vienna In recogni tion of the decent way In which tho (AiistihuiH had treated British prison ers or war. Hungary, which lias been made a republic under the presidency of Count Karolyl, Is appealing to tho allies for Its share of help, as well us against being deprived of any of Its territory by the surrounding new na tions. 11 Turkey came to the front with tho report thnt the Turks hud llnnlly sur rendered Medina, the holy city of tho Mohammedans, to tho king of the Hcdjuz. This capitulation was In cluded In the terms of the nrmlstlco, but was delayed by tho long Isolation of the garrison. The disposition of Constantinople also was brought un der renewed discussion by the submis sion of the claims of Greece to tho peace delegates In Paris; The general belief was that the city would bo placed under International control rather than turned over to the Greeks. to Tho United States went drj last week, national prohibition "going over the top" when Nebraska ratllled the constitutional amendment, being the thirty-sixth state to take that ac tion. The amendment goes Into effect ono year hence, but as thowar meas ure passed by congress establishes country-wide prohibition on July 1 tho dry era will really date from that day. The lenders of the prohibition party naturally aro Joyous over the triumph of the cnuso for which they struggled through so many years, nnd they now lmvo a vision of a boozeless world. They have established hcadquartors In many foreign cities and say they are making great leudway. The Unit ed States Is tho !tirstv great nation to ndopt prohibition, for the Russian ban was only on vodka, and that has been lifted by tho bohhevlk govern inent.
