10 Different Points
Separating Leaders

LONDON, Dec. 3 1.-"Ihe Daily News -
commenting editorially on the speeches
Of President Wilson and Premier Gle
menceau, remarks that they strike diff
fercnt notes and says that this is onlv
what was expected. 1t is of the opinion
that reaching an agreement is bound
10 be long and difficult, otherwise
PRESIDENT Wilson would not have
broken precedents to como to Eurone
The Daily News adds:
There can be no accommodation
between the old balance of power
order, which Clemenceau is. reluctant
TO 1orsake, and the universal concert
or mind and will, to which President
wilson summons the world. The con-
terence must be supreme, or it will
provoke war instead of ending it,"
The Daily Telegraph" instances
parts of Premier Clemenceau's speech
as indicating "some of those difficulties
IN the way of complete agreement,
which are present in Mr.. Wilson's
mind, as also in the minds of French
and British statesmen"
But the Telegraph" is Of the opinion
that other parts Of Clemenceaus speech
show. equally plainly an underlying
community OF convictions upon the
larger matter
The Daily Mail" considers that an
understanding betwo en- the United
States, France and Great Britain has
been reached through President VII
sons conversations. Citing NJ Glenn

The Premier earlier had expressed
the belief In the efficiency OF the old
system Of alliances, called "the bal
ance of power" but indicated that
he was not opposed to a league Of
nations. Such league, he said might
be organized at about the time the
treaty of peace was completed

In Difficult Situation
People say: Premier Lloyd George

you have asked me. But 1t isn't be-

France was in an especially diff
cult situation. 1t was the country
nearest Germany America was far
away and took her time to come into
the war. England came at once Mt the
call OF Mr. Asquith. We suffered and
fought; our men were moved down

stroyed.

American cotton was being lifted
with the aid of great cranes from grin

Orleans and other Southern ports.
Suddenly aboard one of the old
freightcrs we were skirting a terrible
clanking Of sheet iron attracted our
attention. Within two minutes before
our ship passed the freighter four g.
inch guns were slung upon the deck
from the hold of the ship, firing light
Llank cartridges. 1t was the mystery
ship Hyderabad, whose business it was
to decoy German submarines. The
mystery ship required a crew of the
hravest British seamen, because it's
method OF operation was not to drop
the doors in the ships sides exposing
her torpedo tubes and not to disclose
the guns on her decks until after the
submarine had fred her torpedo at the
vessel and lad come to the surface

Wilson said it was one Of the most

People ran along the sides Of the

Allies Await
Statement oil
u. s. Aims Now
CIemenceau Placed i'm Posi-
ton Like Lloyd George
by Deputies Big Vote

PARIS. Dec. 3O.-This has been the
most active days discussion in peace
circles since tho American delegation
arrived, as the declaration Of Premier
Clemenceau and Foreign Minister
Pichon in the Chamber Of Deputies
last night gave rallying point in the
form Of tho first official announcement
on the plans of tho French government.
The statements disclosed that France
has determined upon its line of action
on practically all the questions in
volved including a society Of nations,
on which M. Pichon said the details
were now being formulated.
Premier Clemenceau's statement on
the freedom Of the seas was the first
French nouncement from high au
thoritative source. This was accepted
as showing that the British and French
viewpoints were in accord.
French Views Outlined
NJ. Clemenceaus reference to his
talks with President Wilson indicated
that they had tended to bring out the
significance Of the French Premier's
previous conversations with the Brit
ish Prime Minister regarding the &C
ton Of the British fleet during the
war, without which he admitted France
could not have continued the war, as
well as his favorable attitude toward
the future British fleet
The sentiment prevails in conference
circles here that the American attitude
will not become definite until further
knowledge is obtained concerning the
conversations between President Will
son, Premier Clemenceau and Premier
Lloyd George
NJ. Clemenceau's overwhe Ginning ma
jority on the vote Of confidence in the
Chamber Of Deputies makes him a
commanding figure in France, similar
to that Of Lloyd George as a result Of
the British elections. 1t is expected
that the names of the French peace
delegates will soon be announced rs g
result of the strong support given to
the Cabinet
To Announce Y. S. Delegation
The statements made by Premier
Clemenceau and Foreign Minister
Pichon in the Chamber last night that
the French government had not been
notified officially or semi officially Of
the names of the American delegates
probably will result in the sending of
a formal official notification Of the ar
rival Of the American delegation to
the French government.
The American delegates received
word to-day that A. J. Balfour, the
British Foreign Secretary, would pass
through Paris to-day on his way to
Southern France for short rest
Premier LLOYD George, it was added,
also will go to Southern France in a
few days.

Criticisms for Roosevelt

Former President Roosevelt, said Mr..
Mcclellan, apparently had taken the
position that England should control
the seas, and he added:
The Colonel. I am afraid, is allowing
ms hatred Of the President to sour his
nature and warp his Judgment"
Regarding the proposal for league

Doctrine, or interfere with American
sovereignty. But. he declared, it IS

prevention of war.
