ercise all of the powers conferred upon

Senator Gore, chairman of the sem
ate committee, announced that he

French Representative Is Given Credit
for Lining Up Minor Powers
On All Great Questions
Coming Up.

Paris, Jan. ga distinct gain was
made by the peace conference when
he 10 small powers gave full adher-
ence to the organization formulated
by the five great powers, thus assur-
ing united front of the great and
small powers at the outset of the work
on the main subjects before the mem
bers of the commission.
This was largely due to the skillful
direction of Jules Cambon, French
delegate and former ambassador at
Washington, who was designated by
the council of the great powers to
preside over the meeting of the small
powers.
This meeting convened, at the for
eign office at the same time the coun-
Gil of the great powers met, the two
separate gatherings proceeding stimuli
taneously, one in the Office of M.
Pichon, the foreign minister, and the
other in the Sale de la Paix.
For a time there was some appre-
hension of the sequel to the different
viewpoints expressed at Saturdays
meeting but the meeting of the small
powers was without incident or re-
newal of the claims then set up for
increased representation on the va
rious committees. Belgium, Serbia,
Roumania and all the small powers
had their full delegations at the after
noon meeting.
Cambon Praises Belgium.
NJ Cambon, in opening the meeting,
took occasion to allude to the great
part Belgium had taken in the war.
He then paid tribute to the part
played by Serbia, Roumania, Greece
and others. This dissipated any lin
gering shadows of disagreement and
the meeting proceeded with entire
harmony to designate the membership
of the small powers on the commits
sion.
In the meantime the council of the
great powers held two sessions, re-
sulting in the formation of two new
commissions, to deal with financial
subjects and the question of private
and maritime laws.
While the official communicates give
no indication of the nature of the
question of maritime law, it would
seem to be term embracing Presi-
dent Wilson's second point, of free
dom of the seas.
