WILSON REFUSES TO
< YIELD ON THRACE
Remains Opposed to All the
Other Allies Despite Plea
of VenizelOs.

PARIS, Aug. Although the Council
of Five Is holding daily sessions, the
peace conference really has come down
to a matter of private conversations
for the purpose OF Strengthening out the
various impasses which are arising.
These conversations, In which Under
Secretary Frank l.. Polk has begun to
participate in behalf OF the United
Staets. are covering now the Balkans.
Hungary, the Adriatic, Turkey and the
Chinese-Japanese situation.
The attitude OF the United States In
regard to the Balkans remains the topic
OF most immediate Importance in diplo-
matte circles. 1t was ascertained def
nitely to-day that President Wilson.
after being appraised of all the latest
developments in the Thracian matter. in
GLIDING the long personal plea of Premier
Venizelos of Greece, had refused abso-
lutely to yield to the other Allies here
on this question. His position. from all
indications, appears to be as firmly op-
posed to the Greek claims in the Balkans
as to the italian claims In the Adriatic.
The United States appears as Bull
garia's friend in the Peace Conference.
for II is understood that the Americans
favor the delivery to Bulgaria of the
southern Dobrudja and part of Mace
donia. It was intimated to-day in
American circles that some decision In
these matters could be looked for within
the next few days, but IT would involve
no yielding on the part of the United
States.
As the Italians stand with the Amer'-
cans in opposition to the claims of
Greece. the British would seem to hold
the key to the situation. and the signs
m loN
four would yield to President Wilson in
order to maintain the Anglo-Saxon
solidarity In adjusting Europe's affairs
But that the United States. In the
person Of President Wilson. should i'm
posi- Its will upon the tangled Balkaps
merely on the strength of the covenant
Of the League of Nations, which still is
subject to changes by the American SEN
ate. is causing much discussion in all
diplomatic circles here.
1t Is pointed out that the United States
assumes to act as arbiter in the Balkans
under the policy of the Pres dent: yet
II Is plain fiom the sentiment that has
developed in America that should a
Balkan confia grafton result from the set
Element here, as Venlzelos predicts, Eu-
rope could not count upon America to
supply any troops to aid in extinguish-
ing It.
The conversations which are going on
In regard to the Italian Adriatic dispute
are kept very secret. One thing clear is
that under the direction of President
Wilson the Italians are being made to
see that economic assistance from the
United States will not be forthcoming at
all unless they accept Wilson's terms, in
which no change has been made since
the Nitti Government came into power.
Owing to Italy's desperate economic
situation. as evidenced by the flying visit
here Il her Finance Minister. the Ameri-
cans q 'pear more confident than ever
that she WIFI be obliged soon to accept
the Wilson mandate.

TOXIC, July 20 (delayed) THE COLI
sion between Chinese and Japanese troops
in Manchuria. announced in an official
statement yesterday. is regarded as sig
nificant in showing the extent of anti
Japanese feeling throughout China over
the Shantung question. The situation
Is particularly tense In Manchuria. while
news also has been received Of a clash
between Chinese and Japanese civilians
pear Mocheng, IN Shantung Province, in
which casualties occurred.
In fact all information. reaching here
from China is to the effect that the anti
Japanese sentiment is continuing unin-
terruptedly. and the japanese, judging
from various expressions, apparently see
the necessity OF arranging the details
for the return of Shantung to China as
quickly as possible.
Before returning to the United States

found in Corea and China a universal
di.trust of japan and rapidly growing
hatred of Japan's military arrogance
and aggressiveness."
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA despatch to
the State Department to-day from the
American Consul at Hardin said tweIve
persons were killed In the clash between
Japanese and Chinese troops at Kuan-

Chinese soldiers were arrested and one
Of them shot by the japanese.
An official Japanese statement made
public here yesterday said sixteen jap
anese policemen were killed and seven

All-Russian Government win get moral

agreed with her.
Won Bernhard has little faith in
the future OF greater Poland, declar-
ing that the national character Of the
people is the chief factor against the
realization Of that goal. Notwith-
standing the heroic endurance of
France and the part she played In
winning victory, the General ex-
pressed the opinion that she would
not come back as a great Power.
He contended that the small birth
rate Of France made that impossible,
and comparing the conditions there
with those in Germany he declared
that the latter had an asset which
France did not possess, namely, a
much larger growing generation.

The Senator proceeded to recall briefly
the development OF the national policy
OF alootness from foreign entanglements
and referred to various incidents in the
country's history as milestones on the
road to full development OF that policy
He touched on all epochs OF the national
history from Washington's dealings with
France and Britain down to the Spanish
war and finally the participation of
America In the recent struggle. and then
said:
81 have referred TO our treaties in
augurating and pursuing our American
policy from the days of 1882 down to
the present time, but 1 have not. nor
shall l attempt to enumerate or discuss
these various treaties in detail.
81 think, however. that the people of
the United States who do not under
stand what has been the trend of our
former negotiations and who are now
being assured that this present proposed
treaty will create the dawn of a new in
ternational era of peace should under
stand once for all that this country has
twenty-five or more arbitration treaties
with all the great and small civilized
countries that under the terms of
these treaties we submit to arbitration

ton and the rights Of third parties"
Turning to history, the Senator
pointed out how the Holy Alliance over
threw the republican governments in
Italy and Spain on the pretence that
they constituted a menace to Europe s
peace, and insisted that under the pro-
posed league n like repressive policy
might easily be directed again at liberal
movements in the world. and that the

Washington, March 26-A new policy of training apprentices for the merchant marine by assignment to vessels in deep sea service was an- nounced today by the shipping board. Heretofore. training ships have been relied upon.
 The new policy will be inaugur- ated with the sailing from New Or leans to the freighter Waalhaven for a French port carrying nine appren- tices who underwent preliminary in struction on the training ship at Nor folk.
