Paris, Jan. Is. tBy the Associated
Press. 1.-The question O., whether the
peace conference is to be secret of wholly
open to the eyes and ears of the world.
the settlement of which has been long
awaited, was brought to a focus to-day
when it was announced that an agree
ment had been made to confine the infor
nation given to the public to a daily
official communique and nat o gentle
mems agreement prevailed among the
delegates not to discuss, or in any way
give information of the meetings in the
foreign office.
NO written official announcement of this
purpose was issued, but word was passed
out to this effect. and it was followed by
an explosion which quite drowned out
the doings of the peace commissioners
The understanding is that the Amer
lcan and British delegates opposed this
decision, but that the French Italians
and Japanese, voting together, prevailed
Inc British newspaper correspondents
Immediately joined in a memorial of pro-
test. which they put before Premier
Lloyd George. The American news
paper correspondents united in what is
virtually round robin to President Will
son, in which they protested In measured
terms against the decision, and reminded
the President of that one of his IA points
which specifies open covenants of peace
openly arrived at"
The memorial was before the Presi-
dent tonight. and there Is every rea-
son to believe that such storm has
been raised will force the question
before the meeting again before the
actual sessions Of the peace conference
Degin Saturday morning
The question of whether the meetings
are to be open or closed has been
for several days. 1t is
associated with conditions which have
surrounded the lack of method in maxi

on in conference for the last month. The
American newspaper correspondents. of
whom there are about 100 here to report
the peace proceedings. have been received

AMENDMENT BEFORE
Vt. LEG|SL AZURE
Clement Presents 1t To-day
Resolution of Ratification
May Be introduced

Montpelier. Jan. 15.-It became known
about the Capitol late this afternoon
that Governor p. w. Clement will appear
in the House of Representatives to-mor-
row morning and deliver a message in
presenting to the House the communca-
tion from Secretary Lansing regarding
the Sheppard amendment for national
prohibition. This promises to be one of
the most interesting events in the entire
session of 1919.
Much speculation has taken place dur
ing the last few days among the MEM
bers of both houses as to when the Gov
ernor would appear. for it was known
that the stage was set for his appearance,
the official papers being already in his
hands. 1t was feared by many that the
matter might be held up until the busi-
ness of the session became heavy when
it could not be handled so readily as at
the present time. when the legislators
have not yet been called upon to act
upon any very important matters.
In coming forward at this time Gov
ernor Clement has eased a somewhat
strained situation which was beginning
to make itself felt about the Capitol.
1t is expected that the Governor will
have something of importance to say in
will be remembered that in referring in
his inaugural address to certain federal
amendment soon to come before the
legislators he said:
While this matter rests entirely with
you and not with me, 1 do not aeem II
improper at this time to remind you of
the danger which lies in a too COM
PLEASANT surrender of the rights and DOW
faf in
people.
"At the proper time / will make fur
ther suggestions on this subject, but at
this. time I will only express the hope
that your work upon this most serious
question may be we'll and carefully per-
formed"
Speculation is rife, also. in regard to
what will happen to the Sheppard
amendment. Some claim to know lust
how the cards will be played and what
the outcome will be, but most of the
wiser ones are silent
RESOLUTION TO-DAY. PERHAPS
Out of the many guesses, there comes
some fairly definite probabilities, how
ever. 1t is expected that a resolution
FOR ratification will be introduced in the
House Tomorrow morning. 1t will un-
doubtedly meet with opposition. Whether
the opposition will be strong enough to
keep the resolution from going to a vote
is an open question. II it is voted upon.
there seems to be fairly good grounds
for believing that it will be adopted and
vermont may yet become one of the SO
States whose ratification helped to make
the amendment a law.
On the other hand it is probable that
