(Special Cable Dispatch.)
Paris, Jan. 23. The peace confer
ence has been under way only a few
days but Lloyd George has had one
"put over on him." It' happened in
this manner:
Two American doughl5ys at
tached to the signal corps had been
'.'assigned for historical purposes to
lake moving pictures of the states
men as they were departing from the
Quai D'Orsay.
Today the little British premier
; came out of the door in double quick
time. He looked as though nothing
could stop him and the photogra-
pliers threw up their hands in de-
spair. As a last chance, however,
one of them placed himself direct-
ly in the prime minister's way and
' said:
"Mr. Lloyd George, just a minute.
Look at that camera over' there. I
; took that away from a German of-
ticcr at the front. I had to kill Him
' to do it,"
;, vIs that 30?" asked the British
premier, swinging around and giving
'. the camera a quizzical look. In the
meantime the pther accomplice in
the scheme ground away photo
graphing the English statesman in
choice lot of poses and using 40
" feet of film.
"All right." the second soldier an
nounced. "We've pot him in every
pose under the sun."
Lloyd George turned quickly to
J the first doughboy and said:
"Young man, .you certainly put
"one over on me."

RESIDENT MADE
GOOD PROMISES'
TO ALl IjUSSIA
Peace Congress Adopts Wilson
Declaration That World Will
. Extend Hancf o Friend
ship to Russians.
sBy JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
(Special Cable Dispatch.)
TaVs, Jan. 23. President Wilson
ha made good his promise to stand
by the Russian people.
The adoption of his proposal by
the peace conference today is proofj
of the sincerity of hisften repeated
declaration that the world shoujd ex
tend the hand of friendship to the
Russian people and assist them in
working out their salvation.
This new policy indicates that the
first hurdle in the Russian problem
has been taken and points to the
ultimate withdrawal of the allies and
American troops from Russia.
Meet on Princes Island.
Of course, this depends upon the
ma-finer in which the proposal of
"the associated powers is received
by the different Russian factions.
With the internal conditions of Rus
sia in a terrible chaotic, state, it is
believed that rather than face a con
tinuation of starvation, bloodshed
and strife throughout the, winter,
the Russian factions will sink their
d.fferences to the extent of meet
ing the representatives of the great
powers in conference. Such a meet
ing is proposed to be held on Princes
Island in the vSea of ' Marmora,
February IS. . ' i
Recognition of the right of the
Russians to determine the settlement
of their own internal affairs is taken
as an indication that all the powers
art agreed upon the Wilsonian prin
ciple ot the r:ght of peoples to deter
mine their own fate.
Recognize Finland.
As for Finland, it is expected that
that nation is soon to be recognized
by the allies and the United States.
In the event that the leaders of
the. different factions in Russia agree
r.n erfort will be made to bring about
a truce in the strife-torn Muscovite
realm. Success of that plan would
mean that peace would again come
to the world, for Russia is today the
last battlefield.
Identifies Himself. .
Wichita, Kan., Jan. 23. Lt. Rob
ert Hamilton, 921 Grant avenue,
Denver, who had been in a hospital
here since last Friday night in a
semi-conscious condition, last night
recovered sufficiently to identify
himself. He was rendered uncon
scious by a fall to the pavement, en
rout to a rest camp.
