HOW 28 NATIONS WILL
LINE I P AT THE VOTE
Generally Speaking Groups May Be
Perceived—Italy and Japan Alone—
Composition of French Group Un- I
certain—Czechs May Join United
States.
—
By Paul Scott Mowrer.
(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.

1 “RAY’S FRIEND” j
By ELSIE EATON.
Si m mTTim m iTmTmi TilimTmTiTimmTmfT
tine. 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—.
