" Favor Speedy Demobilization. The creation of a military com mission for proportioning the troops on the western front brings the vig orous figure of Winston Spencer Churchill into the conference. The sentiment of the council was strong ly for demobilization with the least possible delay. There is reason to believe also that the commission will carry out the plans already be fore the War department in Wash ington for the return of American troops homeward as rapidly as transportation permits and that there will be no increase in the American proportion of troops in the occupied regions. It is understood that the British contemplate an important pro'posal hy which such problems as the German colonies, Mesopotamia and Palestine will be submitted to the league of nations in order to avoid loss of time and territorial demands incompatible with .the principles of the league. At the second plenary session of the peace conference at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon David Lloyd George, the British premier, will make the opening presentation of a plan for a league of nations in a brief speech, dealing largely with principles and leaving the details for the commission.

The dead children are: Dorothy, 13; Harlan, 11; Hazel, 5; Lorraine, 3; Milo, 18 month! Mrs. Hanson must have planned the murder for early this "morning she sent her husband to the drug store of the little town and ordered him to get some medicine for the children, who for some time have been suffering from the Spanish in fluenza. Harold Hanson had hardly left the house, when his wife rushed into the bedroom and grabbed her husband's five-shot .38 caliber police special revolver which he occasion ally used when performing his duty as town marshal She called her oldest daughter Dorothy into the kitchen and before the child could offer any resistance, the mother placed the mouth of the revolver against the girl's temple and killed her instantly. Scared by the shot' save the baby the other children, some of whom were confined to their beds, rushed into the kitchen, where they found their mother with the still smoking weapon in her hands. The children had hardly entered the room, when Mrs. Hanson leaped towards the door and locked it, to make sure that none of the tots would escape her gun. The wholesale massacre followed. Little Harlan was the first to fall victim to his mother's despoifdency. The others followed. Calmly Mrs. Hanson unlocked the door and stepped into the bedroom, where she reloaded the revolver and then placed the pistol against her own head. She was found in a critical condition by neighbors, who. attracted by the shots, forced their way into the Hanson home. Her hnsband, as well as neighbors stated that Mrs Hansan has shown signs of despondency for the past few days and that she repeatedly had uttered "that she cannot bear to see the children suffer." Mr. and Mrs. Hanson are highly respected citizens of this locality and are said to be well to do. Would Take from President Power to Fix Freight Rates Washington, Jan. 24.
