DISPOSAL or COLONIES
Question Occupies Attention Of Peaes

ported Opposed to Return Of
Hun Possessions. as

Paris, Jan. 28-There was q full
attendance of the members when the
supreme council of the peace confer
ence was called to order.
A number of technical advisers On
colonial matters, including three
Americans, accompanied the various
delegations as they entered the for
eign Office for the session.
Question Of Colonies.
One of the questions which it waa
expected the supreme council wouN
take up was the fate of the German
colonies. France and Great Britain
it is declared, are agreed on at least
one feature of the solution of the
problem which is that under no CON
sideration shall the colonies revert t.
Germany. The reasons advanced fol
such a decision are various, but prom
inent among them is that it would
render it impossible for Germany t.
establish submarine bases in hel
colonial possessions. The American
attitude is as yet unrevealed.
A prominent official declared today
that should the Franco-British view
point prevail, the German Kamerun
will be taken over by the French, IN
accordance. with an agreement reached
by Great Britain and France. Belgium
lays claim to that part of the Congo
which she conquered by force Of arms
the Belgian troops having captured
Tabora and the territory lying beyond
the western slopes of Lake Victoria
Nyanza. The Belgians also desire
strip of territory along the left banb
of the Congo, the delimitation,. Of
course, to be settled amicably with
Portugal, territorial compensation be-
ing given the latter.
Terms May be Ready In March.
The Council Of Ten, as the French
now call the ministers of the five
great powers, has before it for consid.
Grafton among other things the ques-
lions of territorial adjustments, the
abolition of CONSUMPTION and the eco,
nomic reconstruction of Germany.
These questions, in accordance with
the settled method of procedure. win
commissions. ',r@,.
There appears every prospect tnea
the peace conference will make rapid
progress from now on with the work
of fixing the peace terms for Ger
many. A high French diplomatic au,
thority is quoted as estimating that
the conference will have the peace
terms ready for submission for ratih.
cation by the various national govern,
ments between the middle and the
end of March. If this is accomplished.
the German delegates will be sum-
moned to Paris early in April for the
conclusion of the peace.

workmen's compensation bureau, it
has been announced here.
Charles A. Sterns of Bismarck, the
injured workman, was given voucher
for $37.33, two-thirds of the weekly
salary for the time he was unable to
work. He received all of it and did
not need to employ lawyer to collect
it. The bureau also paid the doctor
bill.
This is the first opportunity the
compensation bureau has had to prove
it's superiority over the private insur-
ance plan. Commissioner L. J. Wehe
compared the two. He said:
"Had Mr.. Sterns been insured by
private company it is entirely pos
sible that he would have received no
compensation at all. Experience
shows that: he would have had to
hire lawyer to collect his claim had
he been granted a right to it. Last
year $4,000 was awarded injured
workmen in this state, Of which over
$4,000 went as attorneys fees.
There is absolutely no comparison
between the two methods Of insurance.
For instance, when Mr.. Sterns was
disabled, he filled out an accident
blank and sent it to this bureau. This
was supplemented by a report from
the physician. When he returned to
work his employer forwarded us the
required notice.
All that was left for the bureau to
1 do was to compute the compensation
allowance due him and to audit the
physicians bill. The law guarantees
