(Special Cable to the World-Herald and the Chicago Daily Nows—Copy right, 1919, by Chicago Daily News.) The World-Herald and Chicago Daily News Peace Conference Bu reau, Paris, France, Jan. 18.—How will the twenty-eight nations repre sented at the allied conference line : up when it conies to vote? Naturally, j no one can foresee with certainty and j much may depend upon the particular ' issue involved. Generally speaking, three groups may ho perceived under the influence of the United States, Britain and France, respectively, while Italy and Japan stand alone. In the group with the United States are Brazil, China, Cuba, Gau tomala, Haiti, Honduras, Liberia, Ni caragua and Panama. With Britain are Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, Ne\V Zealand, Belgium, Portu gal and Siam. French Less Certain. The composition of the French group is less certain. France through out the war has been endeavoring to ( acquire ‘diplomatic, influence over the Balkans and also men in the nations of central Europe. France will there 1 for probably support the maximum claims of Poland, Greece, Rumania, Jugo-Slavia and Czecho-Slavia. How ! ever, there is a possibility that the Czecho-Slovaks may join the Amer ican group and that Greece may join Britain. As France has been the strongest supporter of the Jugo-Slavs they may reciprocate by supporting France. With regard to Poland, the whole I dispute as to whether the Pilsudski j government or the Polish national ! committee will be recognized as the real government seems to be based on a struggle on the part of France i to retain her influence over Poland j through the Polish national eommit j tee. If the Pilsudski government should finally Ire recognized by the al | lies, Poland may be expected to join {tlie British or American group rather j than the French. Italy and France have some points in common, but they differ fundamen tally on the bitter issue of the Jugo slavs. Japan may support France's European program if France will sup port Japan in Asia against the proba ble program of China supported by the United States. Britain has an al liance with Japan, but Austrian and Japanese ambitions regarding Ger many’s old colonies in the Pacific clash, Britain’s Asiatic policy, there fore, seems somewhat obscure at pres ent. Of the three groups enumerated, the I strongest is that of the United States, thanks to the recognition of the Cen | tral and South American republics and Liberia. Ten states may be ex pected to vote with the American group and nine with the British. If the French aims are realized, six states will vote with the French group, but several of these are uncertain and may vote with the British or Americans. Thus it is apparent that two groups, by far the strongest, with France oc cupying a somewhat weak third posi tion, and Italy and Japan isolated. It is doubtful if the conference can persist in the design to consider Ser bia and Montenegro as separate states in recognizing the unity of the Jugo slavs, which seems to be firmly estab lished in fact. Recognition of Jugo slav unity would reduce the total num ber of states represented to twenty seven.

I a, three, eliimetl the clock on the mantel. “You’d better hustle along there, Lou,” called her mother, “or you’ll miss that swell movie you’ve beeu talk ing about." “Yes, mother, I’m most ready,” an swered Lou, putting the last pin in her hair. “Now see that you come home right after the show. 1 don’t want to have to entertain that friend brother Huy is bringing home for the week-end to night. Besides, 1 think he would like your company best. Young bilks gen erally like young folks,” warned ber , mother as Lou was leaving. ' “Movies aren’t us interesting us they . might be," thought Lou, us she walked J leisurely down the street. For the • past six months not much of anything had really been interesting to tier. She ■ found more pleasure in knitting socks ; J for soldiers than slie did In doing any- • thing else. But today she thought she would venture out to the pictures. She met several boys and girls as she walked along, all radiant and hap py. She Anally reached the theater An observer might have thought her eager to see the play, for there was a longing look in her eyes, but Lou’s longing look was not I'Ar the play that was supposed to be so interesting, s Her thoughts were far away. She was j thinking of her sister Mae’s homey cot- j tage, where she had spent the spring j and summer days doing the work for j Mae until she got better. How pleas- j ant it had all been. But how lonely j she was now. « Doctor B—, “Bill,” as Mae's husband used to call him, occupied her thoughts; lie bad seemed young the first Time she met him. lie certainly had made her stay at Mae’s a pleasant one. How kind and genbe lie had been to her sister, she thought. Try as hard as possible, she couldn’t get Interested in the play. Her thoughts would always drift back to by-gone days; the pleas ant rides she had had with Doctor B. the scenery and the lunches they would j take. H*ow he had seemed to enjoy | the dainties she would prepare and j give her more than' duo praise, she thought. Lou would think of all these things with a sense of happiness. But how sad it seemed to make her when she would recall the day when l»e had called at Mae’s and told them he was leaving for camp in the morning. He, too, seemed sad as he told them of his departure. But he had just bid her good-by in a friendly way. Just as he had bid the others good-by. “Why have 1 been so lonesome since my return home?" Lou would ask her self. Was her lonesomeness due to him? At Arst she would think it was due to the change. There was just her mother at home now, and it wasn’t as though things were lively, she thought; but us she walkrti home this day' she Anally came to the conclusion that there was just one answer to her question. She had fallen in love with Doctor B. “It’s all right to feel lonesome when I’m at home and everything is dull. But when it comes to _this (and she thought of how she had spent the uf ternoon thinking of him, instead of enjoying the pictures) there is only one reason for it, and there’s no use avoiding it. But it makes me feel blue. It’s Just to be my secret, uot his and mine, ns I wish it could be.” She suddenly thought of her moth er’s warning to come right home. Stie looked at her watch. It was past their regular dining hour. “Goodness 1" she exclaimed, “I must be walking terribly slow. Guess I’d better move along. I’ve got to change my dress, I sup pose. Ray’s friend might be a bore for all I know. Oh! I do wish he wasn't bringing him home this time, hut I must be there and help make things pleasant or he will never forgive me.” She Anally reached home. Her moth er met her at the door. “Now, be quick and change your dress, dearie. Ray has come and supper is waiting." "What a familiar .alee,’’ thought Lou, as she changed her dress and listened to the boys talking and laugh ing. She looked thoughtful for a sec- . ond—but no, it couldn't be—the laugh ter again reached her ears. She hur , rled downstairs, determined to be in doubt no longer. “Why, Ray!” she exlaimed, going In to the parolr. “This is Doctor IJ—. I met him at Mae’s, and—” “I know, Sis," Interrupted Ray. We thought we’d plan a little surprise for you.” "Tills certainly is a pleasant sur prise,” said Lou, with joy, as she shook hands with Dr. B—. During the men* they talked of old times and of what had happened since they hud last seen each other. "Now," said Lou s mother, “I’m go ing to do the work and, Lou, you can entertain Dr. B— while Ray goes call ing on Anne." "Why didn't you let me know you were coming, Dr. B—?" asked Lou when they were alone. ‘“Bill’ to you, Lou," said Dr. B—, avoiding her question. “Yes, Bill to me always," said Lou. almost to herself, while that longing look disappeared, mid now she knew her secret was also shared with Dr. B—.
