COLOGNE. Jan. l0-One result OF the
renewed outbreak of violence in Ber-
lin is political compromise betwean
the Conservative Catholics and the Lib
eral Industrial party here In Cologne,
with the view OF making common cause
against the Socialists. influential MEM
bers OF the Catholic party here told ne
that this rapprochement has gone 50
far that wealthy liberal manufa cturers
in this province have rallied to the idea
OF esta blishing a separate Rhine-West-
phalian republic under the protection Of
the Allies.
The Mayors of several towns in &C.
cupied territory have given theic sup
port TO this scheme. The official organ
Of the Liberals. the Cologne Gazette,
however has not yet accepted the plan.

extract from a pamphlet by Bavarian

PARIS. Jan. 1O.-Change OF environ

simple habits OF President Wilson. He
lives the same routine life as in WASH
ington, despite the pressure OF Euro
pean customs, the only concession being
that he now rises at . O'Clock in the
morning instead OF I. His breakfast
is hearty and consists of hot Continental
coffee and rolls. He puts in the first
moments scanning the Paris news
papers, being adept in reading French,
although never trusting himself to
speak the language.
On pleasant days he motors fifteen
minutes away to st. Cloud. where he
goes first for an hour either with Mrs
Wilson or Admiral Grayson. Upon re-
turning to the Palais Murat no de-
votes the rest of the morning to init

France laughed at the utopianism Of
the league idea and contemplated
placing obstacles in the way Of Its
realization. However, it Is difficult to
reconcile this new attitude with the
stand heretofore taken as interpreted
by members of the American Com
mission.
The Endorsement by the Govern
mcnt Of the plan Of Leon Burgeois,
which now is expected, renders it
more likely that the peace confer
ence actually will adopt a working
scheme and have it made the basis
for the peace treaty, which Presi-
dent Wilson has oeen insisting upon.
1t is significant that the new atti-
tude of France has been developed

Outline of French Plan.
NJ. BourgcoiS's plan Itself, which
now appears to be the programme for
the French delegation, has for its
basis, first, national security by the
creation of a vigorous organism able
to provide sufficient assurances of
protection against aggression from
! the east; and second, the maintenance
of the present alliance within the
! league with the door open to all
others.
In other words, France finds ii i'm
diSpensahle for her future vitality
that the existing economic, industrial
! financial and maritime organs con

from these fundamentals. the Bour
geois plan. although not yet made
public. is known to differ very little
from the American ana British
projects.

1t Is apparent that the French Gov

in American circles. that France is a

the idea OF laying the foundation of

practical realization of the scheme by
demanding the drawing in detail of
the statutes of the league of nations.
Certainly. although officials are try
ing TO create the idea that the French

all along, il Is obvious that in such
action there is some radical departure

New Methods Needed.

In the words of Lowell. You cannot
unlock the futures portal with the pasts

Mr.. Hapgood declared that the crea
ton OF a league of nations now at YER
sailles will mean the greatest triumph
that liberalism has ever achieved. He
expressed the opinion that sentiment in
he United States already leans toward
that achievement. asserting that there
is little popular support to tn" attitude
of the Congressional leaders who OPP
pose the Presidents plan.
THE President is finding that his
prophecy was true he said. support
for a new international order, based on
conference, tolerance and cooperation,
will come less from the Governments
than from the populations"
President Lowell strongly defended
the Presidents course, stating that a
league OF nations is the only common
sense solution of the problems raised
by the war.
The meeting adopted a resolution ad-
dressed to President Wilson urging him
to insist upon the acceptance OF his plan
for the league OF nations at the peace
conference in order to accomplish Amer
ica's aims in the war.
