PARIS. January 24.-Unmistakably
the peace conference is approaching
crisis, the first perhaps of many. but
no less a real crisis. This is not the
result of the deveI opment of irrecon-
disagreement. There has been none
and in my judgment there viii be
none. Nothing is more likely, viewed
from present conditions, than that
from start TO finish the conQuerors of
Germany will continue to act in CO.
operation and with unbroken har-
mony. Inevitable disagreements will
not become national or personal. 1t
is possible to dismiss in advance
rumor and reports of alterations of
ultimatums and of all similar circum-
stances. Britain, France and the
United States. the three great powers.
cannot be separated by any question
which may arise.
By contrast the crisis which ap-
proaches grows out of good rather
than ill feeling. In France. Italy and
England the coming of President Will
son was hailed by the mass of the
people. by the little people as con-
trasted with the politically or So
cially great, as the promise of new
era Mr.. Wilson was welcomed in no
small sense as a savior of society. as
the guarantor of a new world. There
was at most a difference only in de-
gree in Rome London and Paris.
Position Unique in History.
The consequence was to give Mr.
Wilson a position almost unique in
history. He had and 1 think he re-
tains the power welded by Bismarck
at the conference of Berlin-although
1t flows from far different sources
and no single man at the congress
of Vienna had comparable influence
1t was and in a measure it remains
the expectation Of great masses of
European publics that Mr.. Wilson is
to bring durable peace to the woHld
He has become a figure quite unlike
that of Lloyd George, Clemenceau.

British War Cabinet Discusses Con-

Regarding Hun Colonies.

PARIS, January 29.-The supreme
council of the peace conference had
before it for consideration on assem-
bling this morning the Polish question
and the instructions to be given the
allied mission to Poland recently au-
thorized and about to leave on its
eastward journey.
The program called for the appear
ance of Polish and Czechoslovak repre-
sentatives before the council to pre-
sent their views.
The French government, according
to the Journal, has proposed to the pow
ers that Finland be recognized as an
independent nation.
Holds Special Session.
Great Britain's war cabinet held
special meeting yesterday afternoon at
3 O'Clock to discuss the difficulty arising
between President Wilson's plan for the
disposal of German colonies and that of
the other conferees, according to the
Paris edition of the London Daily Mail
which adds:
cit is believed that some approach
was made toward Mr.. Wilson's view
point at the meeting of the supreme
council after Mr.. Wilson'S important
speech giving more details of his plan.
Treaties Offer Barrier.
In connection with the territorial
questions before it, the peace conlef-
ence is confronted by no less than
three secret treaties, says the Paris
edition of the London Daily Mail to-
day. ...,
| Great Britain France and Italy, dfs-
posing of the Adriatic coast, which
| conflicts violently with Jugoslav ana
| Zechoslovak interests, the MAIL con-
| tinues .'The second is the treaty be-
| tween Great Britain and Japan, un-
der which Japan gets the German
| islands In the north Pacific The th1ro
| is the treaty between Crest Britain
ana the King of the Hedjax. under
which Damascus forms part OF tne

dom.
OF the spheres of control in Syria ana
Palestine agreed upon between the
British and the French. Under TINS
agreement Palestine from the Sea OF
GaliIee to the Egyptian border is a
British protectorate administered Tor
the special benefit of the Jews. while
north of the Sea of Galilee to Asia
Minor comes under the French.
! 1.-The latter. however. are most
anxious to have Damascus included
within their sphere, while the Hedjaz
delegates are equally anxious to re-
tain Damascus. as it is already under
their administration.
Calls Speech Important.
LONDON. January 29.-Stating that
President Wilson made an important
speech at Tuesdays meeting of the
supreme council of the peace con-
gress during the discussion of the
future Of Germans colonies, the Paris
correspondent of the Mail adds:
president Wilson persists in his
desire to secure some form of inter-
national control, and the allies are
seeking a plan which, while giving
the practical power. desired by the
nations who want the German col
ouies for their own, will still provide
some shadowy form of International
ization for the purpose of satisfying
Mr.. Wilson's ideals.

PEACE CONFERENCE SUCCESS
PREDICTED BY MR.. SIMONDS
Masses of Europe Expect Millennium, But
Presidents Plans Still Unknown-Trip
Overseas, However. Already justified.

known as such to millions. but Mr..
Wilson is a symbol rather than a
man.
In this situation the temptations are
manifest and tremendous. Yet ! think
il would be the general consensus OF
opinion that the President mas acted
with admirable self-rcstraint. The first
awkward moment when it remained to
be disclosed whether ne came as caesar
or as a conferee went off satisfactorily.
Millions of people welcomed him with
an enthusiasm which gave him Obvious
power. but he made no effort to use
that power unfairly, unreasonably or SO
far at all.
Thus. in a sense. after the first period
the public which had welcomed him.
He was lost to view and-this is the
point-thereafter nothing has happened
Of all things which were most expected
aid are most desired. What the Presl-
dent thought, what he seeks, what his
views are on the main questions re-
mains unknown. not save by few, but
unknown to any single individual IN
Fra nee. On some, but by no means all
important, questions his views are sus-
pected, and that is all.
Now / do not think any one can exag-
gerate the longing of the people of the
nations who have fought this war for
peace, for a return to the old comforts
and conveniences of life, for an end not
merely to the horrors of fighting. but to
the only less real horrors of the existing
twilight zone between war and peace.
In France, in Britain. in Italy, there
are discomforts, hardships; there is
a measure of. suffering, and millions
of men still under arms desire to go
home, while in eastern Europe famine
exists and increases day by day.

PRESIDENT LIKELY
TO REPEAT TRIP
Trend of Affairs Point That
Way-WiH Tell Congress
Reasons Il He Does.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 29.-Much as Presi-
dent Wilson still hopes to avoid a
SECOND trip to Europe it begins to look
as if the trend of peace conference
affairs would cause him to feel inn
pelied to recross the Atlantic in the
early spring.
Recent statements purporting to an
nounce definitely that the President
had arranged to come back to Paris
after going to Washington in Febru-
ary. and even giving the date of his
sailing on his return trip. were found
ed, it may be said. on no definite in
formation. The fact is that the Presi-
dent, while still hoping it will turn
out that another trip to Europe will
be unnecessary, is waiting to see what
the remaining fifteen days of his stay
in France will bring forth before
finally deciding on his course.
Holds Himself Ready.
But the President. from the first,
has been holding himself ready to re-
turn if he thought it necessary. and
within the last day or SO he has told
officials in his confidence that he was
impressed with the feeling that ii
would be his duty to return and that
he was beginning to think he could
not escape it.
The President is said to have told
his confidants that if events pointed
to the need Of his return he feIt that
his course would be found fully
justified when he addressed Congress.
as he plans to do almost immediately
ION his return to the United States.
It has developed that he has aban-
doned the idea of returning by way
of England and stopping at oxford
to receive the degree which that uni
versity desires to confer upon him.
If his plans in this respect hold, there
fore. he will sail from Brest on the
steamer George Washington, now on
her way to France. some time be-
| tween February 10. and February Is,
going direct to the United States.
The steamer probably will take the
southern route, which she followed
on her way over, to avoid bad
! weather.
1t is realized here that President
| Wilson's arrival home with plans for
departing for Europe again would
bring up the question of an extra
session of the new Congress with
republican majorities in both houses.
The best available opinion here is
that if an extra session be thought
inevitable the President would call
| 1t before his return to France, prob
ably setting the date ahead to some
time in June. expecting to finish the
business of the peace conference in
| time to return to Washington and
| be in the White House when the new
Congress assembled.
The Presidents friends here say he
crit in5c G
| of an intended return to France with
facts that he will lay before Con-
gress in the addresses which he prob
ably will deliver.

Supreme Council Takes Up
Future of Hun Colonies,
Looking to General Policy

PARIS, January 2S (by the Asso-
ciated Press) ).-The future of the col
onies taken from Germany has as
sumed a place as One of the most in
teresting of the immediate bases of
the many-sided problems under con-
sideration by the supreme council OF
the peace conference. Hearings are
now being given by the supreme coun-
Gil to members of the conference and
to colonial experts upon the DISPOSE
titon of the colonies. The council is
at the same time proceeding with the
consideration of a general policy which
shall be adopted by the five great
powers in this matter.
At Variance With POINTS,
At present 1t appears that these
powers through the supreme council
intend to dispose of the subject, con-
6dent of the approval of its decisions
by the conference itself. The hear
ings have already progressed to the
stage where the existence Of views
greatly at variance with those set
forth in President Wilson's fourteen
points has been disclosed. This de-
yelopment has determined the Amer
lean DELEGATES to remind the other
powers of that fact and to urge the
adoption of the American plan at the
very outset in order to keep the riyal
claimants within the bounds or falr-
ness.
This plan looks to international con-
troll of the colonies, backward national-
ties and tribes by individual powers or
hy agents to be known as manda-
tories" of the league of nations These
agents are to derive all their powers
from, the league and to act entirely on
the lines of policy dictated by that
body.
Depends on a League.
The distribution of these guardian
ships is to be made by the league of
nations: so it again happens, as IN the
case of many of the projects of reform
broached at the conference. that it's
successful application is wholly de-
pendent upon the consummation OF the
league.
One argument against the leagues
control of the colonies advanced by the
British colonial officials was that the
"mandatories" might feel themselves
saddled with enormous financial re-
sponsibiiities in an effort to deveieB
