Bolsheuisn1 May Loom

Which Conuenes Today
Questions of Great Moment, Ireland the Great

Session in History of England.

London, Feb. 3.-The Thirty-first
Parliament of the United Kingdom.
in many ways the most unusual in
the history of British politics, opens
tomorrow.
This will be a Parliament in which
one constituent part of the Kingdom
lreland-will be totally unrepresented
except by a handful of Ulster Union
lists, with seYenty-three vacant seats
representing rebellious Ireland.
Another anomaly is that Nthe first
woman ever elected to n seat in the
austere British governing body. the
Countess MaTkiewieZ, will not attend
because she is a Sim Feiner.
Labor in Strong Seats.
The old Nationalist party, once
glorihed by the names of Redmond
and John Dillon, has been almost
Liberals, like Pharoah's hosts after
the Red Sea did its work, and labor
is occupying strong seats.
Law Leads CoaIItionists.
Even old-time British politicians are
unable to make predictions as to what
sort of creature this new Parliament
will prove to be. Lloyd Georges over
whelming victory in the December
elections has given him such a top
heavy majority that already the Lib

rasses Representatives.

Paris, Feb. S.-President Wilson
spoke from the tribune of the
Chamber of Deputies today to all
men of France who represent her
interest at the Peace Conference.
It was the first time since his ar
rival in Europe that Mr.. Wilson de-
parted from the form of courtesy
address which it has been his Gus
tom to give in the CAPITALS of the
different nations he has visited.
The departure was only mOmen-
tary. He touched very lightly upon
the necessity for a speedy and amic-
able settlement of differences re-
tiatiOns.
Deep Meaning Scented.
\ world Of meaning may have
been contained in his mention OF the
fact that sacrifices Will be neces-
sary for establishment. of a league
of nations. In some quarters here
the question was raised tonight as
to whether he means sacrifices OF
some degree Cf national sovereignty
on the part of countries forming
the league.
In the past. the view of the Amer
lean commission has been that the
formation of a Society of Nations
will not mean abTogatiOn Of any of
the powers of Congress.
On the other hand. it has been
suggested that the Peace Confer
enCe may be attempting to mould
a society of nations of ultimate
stability such as has been hereto
fore impossible.
The appearance Of the President,
accompanied by Mrs Wilson, in the
French chamber of deputies was an
Imposing spectacle. Beside the Pres
ident sat Premier Clemenceau. The
galleries were packed by thousands
Of spectators.

Presence OF ETenadier guards in
their radiant uniforms and glitter
ing cuirassiers gave the scene a dis
tinctly military aspect The warmth
Of the greeting extended to the Pres
ident was an Indication that France
has not tired of her "close up" view
of him in the last six weeks and that
the French people appreciate the tre-
msrsdous responsibilities vested in
him at the Peace Conference.

Mr. Wilson's adoption of the term

Government Prepared to

Amsterdam, Feb. 3.-The German
government is preparing to Illustrate
with blood and iron, if need be. the
SpartiCan plot to break up the ma
tional constituent assembly at Weimar
Thursday. All Sparticans within that
city are being disarmed. Strong gov
ernment forces are held in readiness
for any emergency. The newspaper
offices especially are well guarded.
There is a disposition on the part
of some of the hitherto loyal troop,
to sympathize with the Spartacans.
The Eleventh and Fifteenth Army
Corps, for instance, refused to help
in giving military protection to the
assembly.
Compromise between the Spartacans
and the Berlin government prevented
bloodshed in Bremen. where govern
ment troops had trained naval guns
on strategic points.
The Bremen government declared it
self willing to resign and to prevail
on the workrnen to surrender their
arms if the government withdraws its
troops.
