DARIS. April 16.--President Will
L son is evidently no longer in a
mood to insist upon his own inter
probation Of the fourteen points. Be
hind the change in his attitude thero
is an interesting as we'll as an i'm
portant story the full details of
which obviously are not divulged,
but from the facts that are known
certain reasonable deductions may be
made.
When the President summoned the
George Washington to hurry back to
Europe, simultaneously causing in
formation to be circulated that he was
not in accord with the other three
high councillors on the principal mat
ters at issue, he was iii and worn out
with the burden of work and he acted
in part, If not entirely, contrary to
the judgment of his conservative fell
low delegates.
For the time being the Presidents
radical supporters, both inside and
outside the Crillon Hotel, had their
way. They had been persistently en-
deavoring to persuade him that the
European masses looked to him to OBJ
tain so-called liberal peace, bringing
Germany into brotherhood of cooper
ating peoples, whereas it was obvious
that the great majority of these masses
were rejoicing in victory and that Mr..
Wilson'S great prestige was due not to
his generous inclinations toward the
Germans and the Bolsheviki but to
the fact that he was the head of the
American nation, which had made vic
tory possible and had brought them
much relief from distress and had made
promises Of more.

u. S. and Europe
Not at Variance

ut is not true that the United States
and Europe have been at variance" :"
After all it was quarrels over small
states which had made the great war.
He spoke of the difficulties in the Bal
kans and said:
zone Of the features of the present
situation, owing to the breaking up Of
the Central Empires, is that Central
Europe has been Balkanized into small
states. Care must be taken lest causes
OF future unrest be created by the
settlement made"
The question Of Russia was one of
the most complex problems ever dealt
With by any body of men, Mr.. Lloyd
George pointed or: One difficulty was
that there was no Russia. There is an
organization controlling Central
Russia, but there is nobody who can
say it is even de facto government
for the whole Of Russia.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-17
Filled With Peril
For Entire World

at is full Of perils-pcrils for this
country and for all lands~-peyls for
the people of the world" he declared.
He begged that the mon who wcro do
ing their best should be left in peace
or else men sent to do The work. The
delegates were dealing with many ma
tions, most Of them with problems of
their own, each with different point
of view, and it required all the tact,
patience and skill that could be COM
manded to prevent the varying in
terests developing into conflicting in
terests.
The Premier said he believed the
conference had surmounted these DIFF
tculties, but it was not an easy task.
There were questions one never heard
OF which almost imperilled the peace
OF Europe while the conference was
sitting, he added.
Questions that have never been heard
OF before the war had nearly produced
, conflict between two of the Allied
states, Mr. Lloyd George continued, and
there were number of such questions.
But, he added:
New-York tribune., 1919-04-17
Society Of Nations
Greatest Experiment

"Then," he added, there is that
great organization, great experiment,
but an experiment upon which the
whole peace of the world hangs-the
society of nations"
The time spent by the peace confer
ence in framing the league of nations
plan saved time instead Of wasting it.
Mr.. Lloyd George declared, as the
league would provide means Of ad-
justment of possible errors.
"And that is why the league of ma
tions, instead of wasting time. saved
time" he added.
The conference had to shorten it's
labors, continued the Premier. because.
while it was trying to build. in
many lands the foundation of society
was tumbling into the dust. No body
OF men worked harder or in better
harmony than the peace conferrees, he
asserted, and he doubted whether any
body Of men ever worked under greater
difficulties
Stones were gathering on the roof
and crashing through the windows. and
wild men were screaming through tho
keyhole while enormous issues de-
pended upon them which required calm
celebration" the Premier said, He
asked for the opportunity for such de-

Demands Parliament
Vote Its Confidence y

The Premier said he was going back
TO Paris if the House wanted him to
go. Whoever went, he declared. must
have the full confidence of the Parlia-
ment and carry out his pledges to the
utmost of his power and conviction.
Referring to the necessity Of return
ing to paths Of peace and of reducing
armaments, the Premier said that the
forces Of the country which had kept
Europe in arms for forty years were to
be reduced to any army which would
be only adequate enough to police her
CITIES and protect her commerce.
There were suggestions that there
might be recrudescence in Germany.
That was not a danger. Mr.. Ilovd
George asserted, because only with diff
feulty could Germany raise EIGHTY
thousand men to preserve order. The

Couldn't Desert
Loyal Russian Force

"Bolshevism." continued the Premier
chad threatened to impress by force
of arms its domination over those
populations which had revolted against
it, and it would have been an act thor
oughly unworthy of any great land to
say to thoee populations, we are ex-
cecdingly obliged to you; you have
served your purpose and we need you
no longer and have left them to the
Bolshevik troops.
at is our duty, since we asked them
to take this step, to promise them
support. We are not sending troops
because every Russian thought that
if Russia were to be redeemed she
must be redeemed by her own sons
and they asked that they be supplied
with the necessary arms"
The Premier said he did not con
slider that this was a departure from
the fundamenta policy Of Great
Britain of not interfering in the in
ternal affairs of any land. He con
tinued:
"Our policy is to arrest the flood
of the present forcible eruption Of
Bolshevism into Allied lands, and for
that reason we are organizing all the
forces in Allied countries bordering
on Russian territory from the BLACK
Sea to the Baltic. If the Bolshevik
attack any of our allies it is oul
business to defend them.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-17
Asks His Release
From No Pledges

The Premier said he had not come
TO the House of Commons to ask re-
lease for any pledge he had given.
II am here to say that every pledge
we have given is Incorporated in the
demands put forward by the Allies. We
stand by them because we believe they
are just. We want peace that is just,
not vindictive. We want a stern peace,
because me occasion demands it, but
IT must be designed not to crafty
vengeance but to vindicate justice.
Every clause and every term IN the
conditions must be justified. Above all,
we want to protect the future against
+ repetition of the horrors of this war"
In the course of his remarks on the
Russian situation Premiem Lloyd
George, referring to the rer&rt that
americans who had visited Russia had
brought back peace offers from that
government said:
'Gf President Wilson attached any
value to them he would have brought
them before the conference, and he
certainly did not"

LONDON, April 16.-Mgr Zavene,
the Armenian Patriarch at Constanti-
nople, in an interview with q "Morning
Post" correspondent, states that Ere
rum should be the capital Of the new
state of Armenia. He does not think
it necessary to ask the Entente for
an army of occupation to maintain
order there provis onally, there being
in Caucasus at the present time a
regular army of 10000 Armenians, plus
10000 volunteers, which is a sufficient
safeguard Of order, as the Armenians
return little by little to their country.

IL Cities Uphold Italy
In Territorial Claims

DONE, April 1e.-Representatives
Of twelve cities of Southern
Italy held meeting here yesterday
at which emphatic support of Italy's
territorial claims before tho peace
conference was expressed.
The congress sent a telegraph
message to Premier Orlando an
nouncing that the members Of the
gathering were unanimously deter
mined to fight for the granting Of
Italy's territorial demands.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-17
Expected Criticisms;
Glad 1t Is Withheld

Early in his address the Premier
said his first impulse when he re-
turned to England from France was to
await the much advertised criticisms
of him, but inquiries had shown that
these were not forthcoming. The rea-
son assigned was, he was told, that he
must not expect criticism until the
House was informed what the peace
delegates were doing.
The Premier said he should not have
thought that in such quarters facts
would be regarded as the slightest
basis for criticism, but he was fully
aware there was a great deal of i'm
patience in the world, and he proposed
to address himself to the real, sincere,
honest impatience which was felt in
all lands.
The Premier said the situation was
still full of perils for all countries" !"
and pleaded that chose who were try
ing to do their best be let alone"
After referring to the world wide ex-
tent of the war the Premier said that
new states had sprung into existence,
some of them independent, some semi
independent and some that might be
protectorates, and, although their
boundaries might not be defined, some
indication of them must be given.

danger, he said, was Of the world 60,
ing to pieces, adding:
"a real dangcr-the gaunt spectre Of
hunger-is stalking through the land"
Premier Lloyd George concluded by
pleading to all mot to soil this tri-
umph of right by indulging in the
angry passions of mankind, but to con-
secrate the sacrifices of millions to the
reder1 ption of the human race from
the scourge and agony Of war"
William Adamson, leader of the
Labor opposition In the House Of Com
mons, following Premier Lloyd George,
said, in regard to the latter's address:

Farley Faces Gravest
Problems in All History

No conference in history, said the
Premier, had been faced with prob
lens of such variety, complexity, mag
nitudo and gravity. The Congress of
Vienna, which was tho nearest up
proach to it, took eleven months for its
work. but that congress, Mr.. Lloyd
George pointed out, sank into insgnifi~
cance az compared with what had been
settled by tins conference
In giving list OF the problems. the
Premier concluded with the subject of
indemnities. His mention Of this
brought cheers from the members Of
the House who had sent him the telo-
gram urging that Germany be made TO
pay in full for the war. The Premier
took UP tho challenge, saying, in refer
ring to this problems:
THAT is not an easy one; not even
to be settled by telegram"
With almost every nation in the
world engaged in considering these
problems, the Premier said, the dele
gates were justified in taking some
time for their work, as blunder might
precipitate universal war, which
might be either near or distant.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-17
Would Bring Warning
Factions to Compromise


"This is our policy, but we want
peace in Russia. The world will not
be passive as long as Russia is torn
and rent by civil war"
ct ia our policy to make peace
among the warning nations not by rec
ognizng one party, but my inducing
them to come together with a view to
setting up some authority in Russia
which would be acceptable to tho whole
Russian people and that the Allies
could recognize az their government"
He did not despair, he said, Of a solu-
tion being found.
"Wo mus thavc patience" he warned.
because we are dealing with u people
mlsgoverned for centuries. There are
unmistakablc signs that Russia is
emerging, and when she is once more
sane and normal the Allies should
make peace with her.
In answering question propounded
by John r. Clyncs, labor leader,
whether approaches for peace had
come from Russia. the Premier said:
We have had no approaches of any
sort or kind. None has been put be-
fore tho conference. ! have only heard
reports that others have proposals
which they assume como from authen-
tic quarters"
The Premier paid tribute to George
Nicoll Barnes, the labor leader. and
those associated with him in the plan
for international arrangements for la
Dor.
Before the Premier began his speech
every seat and even such standing
room ns was available on the floor was
occupied by the members, while tho
galleries were crowded with men and
women eager to hear the address.
Many members OF the House of Lords
and numerous diplomats were present.

and good will toward each other we're
essential" He could not conceive of
worse crime, he declared, at time

MUNICIPAL HOG FARM
TO BE GIVEN TRY-OUT

Washington's long projected mu-
nicipal hog farm may become a reality
in the near future. The Commission
ers today practically reached a con-
clueion to purchase q carload of hogs
and try out the experiment.
Pronts from the handling Of garb-
age at the District plant at Cherry
Hill. Va, have been growing smaller
each month. It is believed that the
city's revenue from garbage will be
increased materially IL the material
were fed to hogs instead Of being con-
verted into by-products. Tho plan
under consideration contemplates the
feeding OF the garbage in its raw
state.
The hogs will be kept either at the
Home for the Aged and Infirm at Blue
Plains, or at tho workhouse farm at
OccoQuan, Va. No decision has been
reached as to whether the city shall
operate the proposed hog farm indefi-
nitely or lease it for period of years.
