Staff Correspondent of Universal Service. ; (Spmlal Chl Dlfipntrh.) Paris, March 14. What will be the future status of the Kiel canal, which constitutes the "keyhole" to German' naval strength? On Monday th4 council of ten, which is the new name for the "big five" each of the five great powers having two delegates in the ses sionsreferred the matter to a spe cial committee on waterways, which reported its decision for confirma tion by the higher council. Its rec- "ommendations are secret, but Le Temps, which is usually well posted, says the American commissioners objected to the appropriation, pure and simple, of the canal, as too drastic. The paper admits Heligo land should revert to the British, however, ' Can Close Baltic. tt U regarded as unfeasible to extend the Danish frontier as far south as the Kiel canal which was previously proposed, preparatory to the internationalization of the canal. Moreover, the Danes say they do nof want to incorporate .the Ger man populations living along the banks in Danish territory, but ask only that the overwhelmingly Dan ish populations be reverted to Dan ish' sovereignty. On the other hand, if Prussia re tains the shores of the canal, she will be, in position to close every access to the Baltic, as she did in 1914, when she coerced the Danes into mining the Great Belt, which is the only means of entry for battleships except the canal between Denmark and Sweden, which is too shallow, whil the Little Belt is more of a river than a sea passage. 0 It was through the Great Belt that the Russian licet emerged in 1904 en foute to Japan. In 1914 the Ger mans told the Danes: "Close the Great Belt against the British fleet, or wc will." The perplexed Danes asked the English for advice. "Mine the passage yourselves," was the British answer. "We prefer that you shall know where the mines are rather than the Germans." So the Danes kept the passage mined throughout the war. For Russia's future it is equally important that the Baity: should not be closed. But if Prussia retains both shores of the Kiet canal she could easily defy the international regime in case of trouble. Therefore, the Temps proposes the location of new and independent neutral state out of the ancient duchies of Schlesswig, Hdlstein and Lauen burg, which were formerly independ ent; having been "gobbled up" by Prussia under BismarckSn 1864. This solution would be bke that suggest ed for the shores of the Dardanelles. The Temps suggests that the northern frontiers of the new states be ': fixed by a Danish plebiscite, while the southern boundaries would extend-as far as the fold frontiers of ;Holstein and Launburg, includ ing Lubeck, but leaving Altona to ITaHburg. The paper .continues: "The independent new states should be placed , like German Aus tria, under the guardianship of the league of nations. The Kiel canal, like the Alpine passages, would thus be guarded against any enterprise by German militarism.'1 The Temps asserts the populations in question have the same desire for independ ence now that they had in, 1864, Deteotinr DeafneM.

PARIS GLAD TO SEE PRESIDENT WILSON AGAIN (Continued from Page One.) immediately after his arrival at his new residence in the Place Des Etats Unis, Premier Lloyd George was waiting there for the president and the two had a long conference. The president then arranged for a conference at the Hotel De Crillon this afternoon with Premier Clemeo ceau, Premier Lloyd George , and Colonel House. The president is fully conversant with the work accomplished by the peace delegates. During his voy age from the United States he was constantly in communication Vith Pari, hu wirrVsx. Colonel House took to Brest a large number of papers bearing on the work 6f the conference during the president's absence. The president spent several hours last night in going through the pa pers and receiving explanations fiom Colonel House. He resumes work with a grasp of the matters under discussion. The return of President Wilson is welcomed by the morning news papers in editorials. The Journal says that it means early and posi tive results from the peace confer ence, adding: , "There is no doubt the president comes back with the full resolve to wind up the war promptly." The editorial writers also are oc cupied with the present state of pub. lie opinion in America. The Figaro says that the United States, by shar ing in the war and by the promi nent role it is playing at the peace conference, ha become one of the principal actors in European and world politics, but adds: "But will the United States de sire to be of the same mind once the treaty of peace is signed? Will it not rather yield and go home for good, leaving old Europe to work out its salvation by .itself? The sudden withdrawal of the United States would have regrettable con sequences, because there are several froblema which we, the British, the talians and Belgium would settle in quite a different way if America wasn't a factor. As for as can be judged, however, it does not seem that such an eventuality is to be feared. "Making all allowances for inter nal political quarrels in America, it may be said .that President Wilson's policy 'in its main line! is approved by a majority of his fellow citizens. Many of them, it is true, ask modi fications of the league of nations plan, but, after all, at the present time it is only a draft of the text." Alliance Declared Necessary. The Matin' says: "The aliance with the United States is necessary to the peace of the world and to the existence of France. It names forever a precious help against possible aggressions. France looks upon Mr. Wilson as the powerful friend who splendidly helped her to win and will now stand by her when she is to make her legitimate demands heard." The Petit Parisian aays: "The de cisive days are near at hand for the peace conference. The president of the United States will join in the supreme debates. He will exerdise his personal influence on behalf of the whole of humanity. He returns from the new world after fighting his opponents and the skeptics with new prestige arising from, his splen did speech at the Metropolitan opera house." RAILROAD OFFICIAL DEAD. Washington, March 14. George Hodges of Chicago, i. widely known railroad man, who directed the movement of troops in the United States for the railroad administra tion during the war, died here today of pneumonia. He was chairman of the American Railroad associa tion's committee on relations be tween the roads. FIGHTS in home for HALF All HOUR (Continued from rage One.) woman when she phoned to her brother. (Mr. Pape heard her screams, for help over the phone, she having made the call before the nefjro entered the house. Mrs. Alfred Pape, sister-in-law df Mrs. Glassman, told police of the approach of two negroes in uniform to the house Friday afternoon. "Lady, we want some money for the Red Cross," one of them said to Mrs. Glassman. When she tald them she had contributed M the Red Cross and other charitable or ganizations, the negro replied: "Well, if you don't give anything you're pro-German." In a further effort to find out i; the woman had any money, the ne crocs asked her what her incoii"? was, that they were income tax col lectors. Mrs. Glassman grew frightened then and closed the door Police believe the same negron were her assailants last night. Last night's brmal attack was tin fifth committed by negroes in the vi cinity of Omaha during the last month. Neighbors of the Glassmar. family were heatedly indignant ovet the robbery and attempted assault of the sick woman and threatened a lynching party if the negroes were caught. Editor Griffin Retires.
