MONROE DOCTRINE
AND PREPARATIONS
PERSISTENT EFFORTS, MOSTLY
BY AMERICAN DELEGATION
SPEED UP THE WORK.
EFFECT IMPORTANT RESULTS
Certain Amendments Have Been
! Agreed Upon That Are Designed to
Meet Criticism at Home.

Paris.-Persistent efforts, principal
" by the American delegates. but Sec
onded for the most part by the British
and Italians, to speed up the work
of the various councils. and commits
sions preparing the details Of the peace
treaty, resulted in better progress dur
ing the closing days Of the past week.
That most important results will be
attained during the present week Is
predicted by those who are in a posi-
tion to speak, including the disposi.
ton of the Monroe doctrine and repa-
rations, the two subjects which have
been the main obstacles to the COM
pletion OF the treaty.
The most stubbornly conte 'ted sub
ject was that OF reparations, and it
is suggested that the delay in this
case cannot be charged up to the
Americans, but rather to the pre-elec-
ton promises of Premier Lloyd George
and Premier Clemenceau to make the
Germans pay the whole cost OF the
war, which have led to some embar.
rassment. because of the, patent ina
bility OF the enemy to- pay more than
q fraction of the enormous indemnity
that will be required for that purpose.
However. real progress has been
made in bringing about an agreement
