SOLEMN WARNING.
ISSUED To WORLD
Military Commanders on All Fronts
and Representatives of Great Ma
tions at Peace Conference Reach
Momentous Decisions-His-
tory in Making.

Paris, Jan. PA series of inter-
national events of the highest order
took form today at meetings of the
council of the great powers and the
military commanders on all the
fronts. These may be summed up
as follows: t
First. The issuance OF: a solemn
warning to the world that the pos
session Of territory gained by force
will seriously prejudice the claims of
those who use such means and set up
sovereignty by coercion. This de-
claration was framed by President
Wilson. ~, f....-..
Second. The appointment of a
commission Of the highest military
authority, including the British min
ister Of war, Marshal Foch, General
Diaz and Gen. Tasker H. Bliss to
80
carry forward early rehabilitation
and established proportionate allied
and associated forces on the West
ern front, : 49,.
Third. Discussion Of territorial
claims on conquered German colonies
with hearings of interests to Aus
tralia, New Zealand and Southern
Africa on German East Africa and
the German island groups Of the
Pacific. .i. .......
Fourth. Approval of the council
of the. striking of a medal for all
troops taking part in the war.
Fifth, Authorization to M. Pin
chon, the French foreign secretary,
70 draft instructions for the joint
mission which is about to proceed
to Poland. ../" .
The foregoing embrace some of
the most difficult questions before the
peace conference and with the pro-
jected action for tomorrow on the
league of nations, indemnities, pun
ishments, labor and international
highways goes far towards clearing
the state of most of the large SUBJ
jects before the conference.
1t is understood the British con-
template 81 important, proposal by
which such problems as the German
colonies, Mesopotamia and Palestine
will be submitted to the league of
nations in order to avoid a waste of
time and territorial demands incom-
patible with the principles of the
league.
David Lloyd George, the British
premier, will make the opening pre-
sentation Of a plan for league of
nations in brief speech, dealing
largely with principles and leaving
the details for the commission.

MEMORABLE DAY
:. IN conference
Wilson and Clemenceau
Dispel Clouds at Peace
Conference.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
IDEA TO BE ADOPTED
Resolution Favoring Proposal as
Part of Treaty Unanimously "A
dopted Following Speeches by
American President, British
Premier and Others.

| Paris, Jan. 26.-The peace con-,
ference on Saturday weathered it's
first storm and under the inspirations
of a speech by President Wilson and
skillful guidance by M. Clemenceau,
the. chairman, unanimously adopted
resolutions declaring for a league of
nations. The conference also went
on record in favor of incorporating
the league as an integral part of the
general treaty of peace and admitting
to the league "every civilized nation
which can be relied on to promote
it's objects" ," -: - ~. I.. Il
Belgium, Servia, Roumania, Portu-
gal, Brazil, Siam, China, and Gee.
cho-Slovakia protested against the
various committees being largely re-
stricted to the great powers and ask
ed for proportional representation
privileges, particularly ON bodies
dealing with the league of nations,
labor and reparation for war DANA
ges. "
Although this was a cloud no big
ger than a mans hand, it threatened
at one time, to grow into a general
alignment of the small powers "a
gainst the five great powers. This
however, was averted by M. Clemen-
ceau's good tempered and skillful di-
rection. ref
The session had the same impress
sive dignity as the opening session
with picturesque setting of Arabs
and Indians in their turbans and
tunics, as we'll as distinguished ar
ray of prime ministers and other
world figures. President Wilson for
the first time was accompanied by the
entire American delegation, Colonel
House having recovered sufficiently
from his illness to be present. -
Although it had been expected that
Premier Lloyd George would open
the discussion of the league of ma
tions, President Wilson had this hon
OR. The president was followed by
Mr.. Lloyd George in a brief address
and the resolution favoring the lea
que was adopted without dissent af-
ter the proposal had been seconded
by Premier Orlando for Italy, Paul
Hymans for Belgium and Mr.. ,Lu for
China.
When the other resolutions were
brought up and the protests of the
representatives. of the small powers
were made. M. Clemenceau made a
plea for harmony and on his assur-
ance that the supreme council would
give attention to the viewpoint Of
the small nations all the proposed
amendments were withdrawn and the
resolutions were adopted unanimous
ly. .-
