ITALIAN PREMIER DID NOT
ATTEND The MEETING TO-DAY

being asked is whether he can in this
comparatively short time bring the ma
tions together in an agreement for So
ciety of nations. Many of the presidents
closest advisers think he can do so.
With discussions now past the point
where it seems to be agreed there shall
be no super. sovereignty, nor a common
police force, and that the question OF
whether a nation shall contribute force
in carrying out the decisions of the
league, will be left to each nation in
dividually in each instance, the general
plan most talked about embodies an
enlargement of the principles contained
in the treaties negotiated by William
Jennings Bryan. These provide for a de-
lay of year before declaring war and
investigations by special commission OF
all disputes, and that no declaration Of
war shall be made thereafter without
giving certain notice.
Such plan, current dicussion in Paris
brings out, is intended by those who IA
vor it virtually to establish a concert Of
power among the principal nations for
a preservation of world peace. By this
plan it is apparently purposed to inter
nationalize the guardianship of smaller
nations, with the idea that there shall
be no domination over them by one ma
tion.
President Wilson. himself, has a rea-
sonably complete plan for the forma-
tion of the league of nations. 1t may also
be stated that he highly regards many
features of the plan presented by Gen.
eral SHUTS, and is working in close har.
mony with NJ. Bourgeois and Lord Cecil
Roberts.

Night.

Paris, Jan. 90 Thy the Associated
Press As the supreme council of the
peace congress resumed sittings to-day,
marked progress was being made in com
pairing various plans for the formation Of
a league of nations and harmonizing
them into a concrete proposition Much
headway in this direction was made last
night at the conference attended by
President Wilson, Lord Robert Cecil, the
British representative charged with
working out of plan for league of
nations; Leon Bourgeois, the French pro-
ponent of a plan for such an organiza
tion, and General Jan Christian SHUTS,
who has formulated plan for league.
Preliminary conversations over the
structure of the league of nations are
still being discussed in meetings of the
supreme council, and are not technically
before the peace congress as a whole
but the fact that the congress has ad-
vanced this question to the foremost
place is taken to indicate that a def

LIEUT.. FRANCIS B. HoYT.
Barre Young Man Died in Hospital in
Bristol, England

Lieut. Francis r. Hoyt, only son OF Mr..
and Mrs. George Hoyt of this city, died
in a hospital in Bristol, England, Dec. y,
the cause of his death being pneumonia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt, who have just re-
turned from New York City, state that
every effort is being made to secure the
details concerning his sickness and death,
as well as to have the remains returned
TO this country and to Barre for burial.
Francis Russell H0yt was born in Con-
cord, n. H., Oct. 20, 1898, and came to
Barre with his parents when he was two
years old. He gained his early education
in the Barre schools, showing much pro-
ficiency and going from the first Is the
third grade in his first year. He later
attended Spaulding high school and was
graduated in the class of 1911. He then
entered the jefferson Medical college in
Philadelphia, taking the four years
course and graduating successfully in
1918. He entered st. Agnes hospital,
Philadelphia, as resident physician fer
one year; and the next year he was in
tern in the Metropolitan hospital, b, |.
n. L.. for nine months and in the mn
nicipal hospital in Philadelphia three
months.
DR.. Hoyt enlisted June 20, 1917, in the
medical reserve corps of the U. S. A., re-
ceiving the commission Of first heuten
ant. He received his official call to re-
port for service at Hoboken, n. j., Aug
20, 1917, where he was first examining
physician for several months, afterwards
being appointed ships surgeon for troop
transportation. He made IL trips across
the ocean and visited in Paris and in sew
eral cities in England.
During the influence epideraic he and
the entire crew became i'll, and his sick
ness left him in poor physical condition
and much in need of rest. But he re-
fused to stop work and started on his re-
cent trip, feeling i'll. He was obliged, on
arrival in England, to go to hospital fer
treatment and soon developed pneumonia.
Lieutenant Hoyt leaves his parents
and his wife, who was Miss Marie Hedie-
er of Philadelphia, to whom he was mar
ried April 10, 1918, at St. Joseph's Cath
olic church by Rev. William Humphrey
of New York City. The bride was
graduate nurse of St. Agnes hospital,
where she and DR.. Hoyt met She will
remain for the present at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt in this city. Lieuten
ant Hoyt had large number of friends
in Barre who were sorry indeed to hear
the report Of his death.

PRINCE JOHNS DEATH
VAS MOST SUDDEN
King George and Queen Mary Did Not
Have Time to Reach His Bedside
He Had Always Been Frail.

London Jan. 90 tvia MontrealD The
death Of Prince John, youngest son Of
King George, came so quickly and mex-
pectedly Saturday night that there was
no time for the nurses who were with
him to summon the king and Queen Mary
to his bedside before he expired
In recent years the delicate health of
Prince John made it necessary that he
always have an attendant. Consequently
he was never seen on public occasions
with the other members of the royal
family, but lived in comparative privacy
at Frogmore house, Windsor, or at Sand
ringham palace
The London newspapers point out sym
pathetically how the king and queen
have sought increasingly during the war
time to bury the tragedy Of their young
est sons delicate health in the silence Of
their hearts, never limiting to the nation
the nature of the personal anxieties
weighing upon them. Public sympathy
was expressed for the royal couple yes
terday in all the churches.
