''DID cLEMENcEAU REJECT
NATIONS LEAGUE?" PARIS
NEWSPAPERS ARE ASKING

PARIS. Dec. 13.-Paris newspapers
disagreed today in their interpreta-
tion Of Premier Clemenceau's speech,
some contending he had definitely re-
pudiated the league Of nations. while
others explained that he had advo-
Gated retention of the balance Of
power" only until the value OF the
league as q substitute Is proven.
"Clemenceau does not reject the
formula of the league Of nations, but
before its value IL proven he will not
depend upon IL to preserve our ma
tional patrimony," said the Echo de
Paris. The Wilsonian idea is some
what diseoncerting to us. because IL
is too loosely adjusted to our imme-
dlate needs"
''Clemenceau repudisted President
Wilson's conceptions OF peace princi-
pies and bantered his noble candor." !"
the Humanite said. Tomorrow we
must begin again to arm, build fort
resses and make alliances against
others. To the league Of nations the
premier did not give even Q polite
salute. Our only guarantee tomor-

PRESIDENT WILSON WILL
SPEND NEW YEAR DAY IN
PARIS, THEN GO TO ROME

PARIS, Dec. 31.-President Wilson
will spend New Year Day here, leav-
ing tomorrow night for Italy for q
protracted visit at Rome. It was
said today that he would visit Pope
Benedict and probably the. Methodist
College.
The Italian government will be
host TO President Wilson and his
party. At present Rome is the only
Italian city In the itinerary, but It IL
possible Genoa, where Columbus was
born, may be included.
The President plans to return to
Paris about January 10. the date
fixed for conveninE the interallies
conference. The organization of the
American peace mission will be COM
pleted at that time
II appeared certain today that
President Wilson would remain in
Europe fully q month after his re.
turn from Italy, which means he
would depart for America on or about

live and not in the task OF the

that you hang the lads musket
or sword up above the mantel-
piece, but never hang the yard

creditabIe in the yardstick. It Is
altogether honorable. but he Is
using 1t for his own sake. But
when he takes the musket or the
sword he is giving everything and
Is getting nothing. 1t is honor
able not as an instrument but as
a symbol OF self-sacrifice.
"a friend OF mine said very
truly: when peace is conducted

no war When business is done

then business will be as histrionic
as war. ] believe that from gen.
Grafton to generation steps OF
that sort are gaining more and
more and men are beginning to

ENGLISH PRESS PRAISES
PEACE VIEWS PRESIDENT
OUTLINED AT MANCHESTER

LONDON, Dec. 31.-EngIand's press
today heartily welcomed President
Wilson's speech at Manchester. The
tenor of editorial tone was that the
problems of the peace conference. in
eluding freedom Of the seas, will be
settled easily IL approached In the
spirit the President manifests.
The Daily News was most cordial
IN its comment. declaring:
IF that Is the note at the peace
conference, we need not have mis-
giyings as to the outcome. There can
Be no accommodation between the old
balance OF power order of things,
which Clemenceau is reluctant to
forsalxe, and the universal concert Of
power to which Wilson summons the
world. The vital test Is whether the
peace conference is q gathering of
Victors to divide the spoils or q gath
ering OF statesmen pledged to subor-
dinate every sectional and national in
terest to the interests Of humanity"
The Times calls Lloyd Georges ques-
tion to Clemenceau regarding Frances
need Of the British navy the decisive
test, and emphasizing Wilson's acqui-
escence in It, predicts that "the ques-
tion OF freedom OF the seas will yield
70 treatment by the same spirit that
animated the Presidents visit"
The proposal to perpetuate the
peace conference and make II the ma
ehinery Of the league of nations,
coming from the President himself. IL
regarded as most vital by the Chron-
icle:
unless 1t perpetuates itself 1t can
not escape the fate of former peace
congresses" this newspaper declares.
