give the greatest encouragement to
the rebel element in South Africa
which it ever received during Brit

The dominion representatives gener-

Compromise in Sight.
Paris, Jan. 29.-The supreme coun-
ell met at IL o'clock this morning
with a full attendance and discussed
the questions of the German colo

The German colonial question is
ripe for decision, as great progress
was made yesterday concerning it.

be adopted which will fully preserve
President Wilson's plan for inter-

various mandatories certain liberty
of action in executing their control
of the colonies.
Hear Polish Claims.

"The president of the United

devoted to hearing reports of dele
gates who had made general state

Polish claims. In the afternoon the
Czecho-Slovak delegates gave their
views on the question of the indus
trial basin in Silesia situated be-
tween Bohemia and Poland"

The other communique says:
"Since Monday, last, Mr.. Barns
British minister without portfolio,
has been conferring with prominent
British trade unionists and repre-
sentatives of India and the domin-
ions on the draft of a scheme for
the international regulation of con-
ditions of employment. The scheme
has been closely examined, and the
experience of all present at the con-
ference has been freely placed at
Mr.. Barns disposal. Many val
liable suggestions have been made
and it is felt that full light has been
given to the views of organized
British trade unionists.
The conference concluded at
noon, January 20, and the draft
scheme agreed upon will be sub
mitted to the international COM
mission on labor regulation, which
was appointed on Saturday last at
