LUxEMBURG ,

From the New York World.
 At the present time, when old land- marks are being scanned in Europe and new ones being planned, 1t is not astonishing to learn that the Senate of Belgium has declared in favor of restoration of the Duchy of Luxemburg to Belgium It is claims like this that show the necessity for the array of professors, diplomatists, ethnologists. etc, that will accompany the chief delegations to the Versailles confer ence.
 To pass upon Belgium's claim to Luxemburg would alone require the turning over of many tonnes of history from the time of the Romans to tho Hapsburgs and Napoleon, rightly to de- eide the future of the little duchy which occupies space in history quite disproportionate to the real space in territory in occupies in Europe If there were an international body cor responding to our American title and guarantee companies the question as to Luxemburg might be referred to it. In the absence of such body we must wait until the professors of history and ethnology present their respective briefs to the Versailles conference as the court of last resort. Then per haps the people of Luxemburg them selves might be consulted.
