ored European method of dealing with
such situation--and thereby avoid
ed war until 1915.
Now that the Dual Monarchy has
been eradicated as an Adriatic rival,
Italy proposes to prevent the rise of
another, which means that she opposes
the creation Of a powerful Jugo- Slav
confederation with an extensive sea-
coast on the cast coast Of the Adrintc.
Greece, whose Adratic and Mediter-
ranean interests also lie somewhat
athwart Italy's, is also regarded by
Italy as hostile. Because eastern and
western conditions menLce the Serbs
and Greeks jointly, and because their
interests nowhere conflict, it will be
natural for Greece to extend her for
mor alliance with Serbia to the newly
forming Jugo- -Slav state.
Against this so-called menace the
Italian army still remairs mobilizcG,
and all threc states appeal to M.
Wilson through their representatives
here to support their respective
causes Here, in the briefest possible
statement, is an outline of possible
difficulties arising between the three
principal Allies and America.

Preliminaries Expected
To Be Long Drawn Out

The preliminary conference between
the Allies and America is expected to
be long III any event, covering months
before Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and
Turkey are summoned to sign, because
unless the President delegates his la
bors or capitulates from the position
he occupies with his basic principles
and fourteen points the negotiations
among the Allies and America promise
to be long drawn out
His Interpretation of the freedom
of the seas. whatever it viii be, is the
only serious danger OF a conflict with
the British. If an understanding
could be reached quickly between him
and them leaving them adequate naval
superiority fer the defence Of their
empire, it is we'll known that Mr.. Lloyd
George, Mr.. Balfour and other promi-
nent statesmen will agree to any rea-
sonable terms America proposes.
The second possible difficulty is with
France, where there is not only a nat
ural desire for vengeance but little
commence IN the talk OF league OF
nations effectively terminating arma-
ments and wars. France. like Britain,
desires 20 secure her own defence
by rectifying her frontier, IN the
old diplomatic phrase, and by for
tifying her side Of the natural Rhine
barrier. Here the principle Of self f-de-
termination would be transgressed.
The third possible difficulty is Italy's
permanent ann throughout her modern
history as has been the case with
every other country, to protect her
self against existing or potential foes
by natural mountain barriers on the
north. Herein Sc determination will
not he trans sgressed seriously, because
speaking peoples, for the most
part, will be Incorporated.

British Chagrined
At Naval Programme

President Wilson has replied in ef-
feet, Let me consider awhile. But
first of all, gentlemen, throw away
your weapons.' Then, turning to one
in particular, he says, "If you won't
rid yours selves Of yours my people will
arm themselves more formidably than
you and see that you agree to my proc
ess of destroying the monster' For
it is stated here and in Eng and in
newspapers, that the American naval
programme is designed against Britain.
Tie British are exceedingly sensitive
and even chagrined at this situation.
One OF the Presidents most ardent
supporters said yesterday that the
President saw but few men each day,
because he liked to ponder what they
said and make his decisions carefully.
3ut, as | have said before if the Pres-
dent does not alter his method and
orally delegate part of his work to
others, the labor to which he is now
getting down will be long prOtracted.

TO me. tne most praCttCai peglTHlHE VI
such a league is for America to cease
assuming that Britain opposes her be-
cause she insists on maintaining a de-
fensive navy. BY cooperation Britain
and American can advance the greatest
step possible toward Mr.. Wilson's dis
tant goal.
President Could Call
Conference in As Hours
British statesmen. as ] cabled from
President Wilson until he indicated a
desire to meet them. They thought the
18th would be a satisfactory time for
Lloyd George to come to Paris, but the
latter decided to postpone it beyond
that date, and now he will await Presi-
dent Wilson'S visit to England. The
most prominent Englishman who has
come here is Lord Northcliffe, who.
being q newspaper proprietor. could
- meet the American commission in the
capacity of newspaperman and not
statesman.
1 nave SAID enough to show what the
position here is, namely, the world
waits on Mr. Wilson. The conference
could be summoned in forty-eight hours
j. President Wilson wished but his
wishes are not yet definitely known.
The President is slowly seeing the
representatives of the different states
and embryonic states at the rate of
several daily. He is weighing carefully
the views and aspirations these repre-
sentatives lay before him. Gathered
here in Paris now are half hundred
such delegations, each desiring to pre-
sent its cause to Mr.. Wilson. The
President naturally desires to consider
each of these cases personally, but no
man, of course, is capable of under
taking such labor efficiently. Though
perhaps reluctantly, he will be COM
PEELED to enter formal conferences be-
fore the middle of January.

Perils Seen In Long
Delay of Actual Peace

In the foregoing | have attempted to
suggest what problems involving the
four principal nations the peace con-
ference must first of all grapple and
overcome.
They are by no means all the prob
lens before the conference. Three en-
pires-Russia, Austria Hungary and
Turkey-have been destroyed, and more
than a score of new states are about
to be created Almost every frontier
in Europe and sevsral in Africa and
Asia will be severely or slightly modi-
fed. A state of semi starvation exists
over half this continent and over a
section of Asia. Severe restrictions on
the consumption of food, clothing and
fuel affect the remainder of Europe,
including France and England. Several
minor wars have already begun, and
disorder prevails in many places. The
mass of human beings long for peace
and statesmen see perils in an undue
prolongation of the armistice.
The problem before the statesmen
CT the world has been called here a
hydra-h headed monster, more gigantic
and bearing more aspects than any
question which statesmen ever have
faced before. Compared with the pres
ent task that of 1878 was utterly in
significant. The President comes be-
fore the monster with a panacea meant
to eradicate ITS breed, and he is now
being asked by statesmen how he pro-
poses to apply his medicine

Entente to Demand
Heavy Indemnities

Besides the matter of armament and
the consideration of their geographic
and strategic defences there may be
differences about indemnites and on
the question of bringing the Central
Powers into the league of nations.
"rhe dirty Boche who plumbers and
breaks treaties and who wanted to en-
slave us-take him into friendly al
lance? Not WEI" This exclamation
expresses Enthusiastically the atti-
tude of the French on this proposal.
The French people as a whole, in
the Germans should be made to pay
punitive ndemnities for beginning the
war in 1914 with q desire to destroy
France after they previously had raw
J ished her in 1870. French statesmen
and newspapers take the view that,
: apart from compensation for destruc-
ton and payment for the costs of war,
the Germans should be heavily shack
led with debts and military and naval
restrictions to prevent their military
recovery, which is now infinitely more
probable than if Russia were still 8
military factor menacing her Eastern
frontier.
Indeed, there is danger, it is
thought, of future alliance of Ger
many with the Russia which the AL
lies are now fighting. Here Mr.. Will
sons point of view is said to be dia-
metrically opposed to that of the AL
lies. The President believes that the
way to make Germany gentle is to
treat her leniently.

FIGURES SHOW WHAT
YOUR DOLLARS WILL DO
What q Liberty Bond Will Buy for MY
Boy "ovsr There"

Suppose you have a son with the
American expeditionary forces. and
suppose you are steady buyer Of Lib
erty Loan bonds. Did you ever ask
yourself what Your boy gets out Of
II. when you lay down q new 500 bill
and say: ~ want another hundred
Collar Liberty BondT Here are some
facts and figures officially made up by
the war department:
Your one hundred dollar Liberty
Bond will buy your boy one outfit Of
clothing and sleeping gear, amounting
to $91.63. The change is 1887 and
that Is just enough to give him his
"eats" for 1911 days.
This war Is now in its fifth year
has been running on about 1900 days.
The nineteen and half days board
left for the boy out of your hundred
dollar Liberty Bond wouldn't amount
10 much il the fighting should go on
a few years morel That $91.63 outfit
would be pretty well used up at the
end of a few months Of campaign
ing.
Your hundred dollar war bond shows
me best possible disposition on your
part, but unless you buy more than
one. somebody else has to put up
money to keep your boys hungry stom-
ach lined with bacon and fighting
food.
That illustrates In a simple way the
urgent necessity for liberality In buy
ing Fourth Liberty Bonds. What
you gave the government on the
first, second and third loans has been
used up long ago. Your boy is lover
there" risking his life and all that
he has every minute Of the day. Sure
ly Ii Is "up to you" to do absolutely
all you can to keep that boy fed and
clothed and cared for.
But one point was overlooked in fig
uring the proceeds of the hundred dol
lar war bond. 1t bought the boy an
outfit Of clothes and 10 days board,
but 1t didn't buy him a gun nor
trench knlfe-not even a revolver, or
a hand grenade. Worse than all that,
the hundred dollars didn't cover knife,
fork or spoon; nor did 1t give the boy
pick and shovel for intrenching
when the Boche fire gets too hot
Somebody else had to buy another
bond TO supply those things and give
your boy the ammunition he. needs for
offense and defense.
Look at few more figures:
When your boy goes over the top
there must be nice barrage laid
down to protect him. Each 75-milli-
meter shell that is fred costs $13.
Each 6-inch shell costs 800 The ~
inch high explosive shell loaded costs
about S270 The 16-inch shell loaded
with INT costs about $1,000, and
the smokeless powder to fire 1t costs
1925 more. The gun II is fred
from sets the government back $175,-
OO0 That is. not all the wear and
tear on big caliber guns Is terrible, so
that the life of the tube is very brief.
All these things point clearly to the
mistake people make when they say:
ooh, have bought several war bonds.
think / have done my share"
That is miles from the truth. You
have not done your share as long as
there Is a dollar Of your capital or In
come that you don't absolutely have to
have to keep life In your body. All
tie rest ought to be spent for Fourth
Liberty Bonds.
