POLES ORDER ELECTIONS IN
 GERMAN EASTERN PROVINCES

Berlin, Dec. IS (By the A. P.).-The socialist and hourgeoise newspapers here express indignation over the ac- tion of the Polish government in or- dering elections to the Polish parli2- ment in the districts of Allenstein, Posen, Oppeln, Beuthen, Kattowitz, Flatow and Danzig. The papers say that this implies annexation of great parts of German eastern provinces in defiance of international law and they accuse the Poles of nationalistic over zeal and greed for land. They declare that the Poles are attempting to bring about an accomplished fact before the peace conference can meet.
 The papers condemn the inactivity of the Berlin government. They also are indignant towards the Poles for alleging that the breach of relations with Germany was due partly to a German alliance with the Bolsheviki. They remind the Poles that German troops in theseast recently have been attacked repeatedly by the Bolsheviki and that Bolshevik Ambassador Joffe has been expelled from Germany.

Advocate SinkiIl
 German WaL ,ps'
American Peace D ates Are to Oppose D button of Surrendered Vessels.

Paris, Dec. 1s.-The American dele- gates to the peace congress have re- solved to advocate the sinking of the surrendered enemy warships and re- sist any proposition to distribute them on the basis of naval losses. This an- nouncement is made by tTFose in close touch with the American representa- tives who, it is added, feel that such position would result in avoiding contention and materially support President Wilson's declaration that the war was not based on aggression or the acquisition of property.
 England, through Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, previously had acquiesced in the American plan to destroy the captured or surrendered warships, and, it is declared, will con- tinue to support the United States, although it is expected that some of the lesser naval powers will demand that the prizes be distributed.
 American naval stations will be maintained for at least a year at Brest, Gibraltar and in the Azores to render aid to American merchant ships. The consent of France, England and Portugal already has been se- cured. The aero and radio stations at these points will be in readiness to respond to calls for 'aid by American shipping in distress, and facilities will be accorded for needed repairs and sup plies.
 Although the plans have not been | developed, it is believed in naval cir 1 cles that the shipping board desires the continuance of the manning of its ships with naval officers and crews until private capital is organized tc undertake the great task of operating thousands of merchant vessels | The other naval establishments il Europe have been ordered abandoned as rapidly as possible. and progress 1T this direction already has been con 1 Sidera hle

 FREEDOM OF THE SEAS"

Paris. Dec. 1S.-After four days Of exchanging views with leaders in France. President Wilson's closest ad- visers say he has seen no reason to change his belief that the foundation of a league of nations is inseparable from the actual peace treaty itself.

 King Victor Emmanuel, who is ex- pected to arrive on Thursday, already has been fully advised of the presi- dents plans through conferences with Count Di Cellere. Italian ambassador c the United States, but the president will take the opportunity to make personal explanations to the kind and also to make clear his friendliness to- ward Italy.
 The hope is expressed by those sur rounding the president that the ex- changes Of views will clear away any partial misunderstanding which may exist in regard Co Mir. Wilson's atti- tude and prepare the way for the as- srmhlaEe of the conference with com lexiGcs removed. so that 1t will be ready to deal with principles and any outstanding differences of opinion that remain.
 Tn an his conferences the president Las taken opportunity to impress his jew. it is said by those who are au- thorized to speak for him. that no one nation is entitled 10 assume the rols Of master, or dictate the manner CT the conditions of the representations of others.
 There is some indication that con- siderable headway is being made il this direction and that the member. of the American mission now are see. ing their way clearly All express th' conviction that delegations will entel the conference in a spirit of accom- mediation.
 Some undercurrents are interpreted as showing indications of regret be cause the acceptance of President Will sons points in a general way pre- vented some nations from achievin; their own objects which might hay, been gained if Germany's collapse hat been made even more complete. II reply. it has been made plain to thos with whom the president conferre, that the United States govsrnmen does not consider the war a victor, or arms alone, and that victory woul, be incomplete without an organiza ton of nations to guarantee worl, peace.
