Paris Jan. l3.--In undertaking to
place on the program of business for
the inter-allied peace conference the
subject of plans for the protection of
Poland from the invasion of the Boil
sheViki, the supreme council finds it
self embarrassed Iy the conflicting
claims for recognition of the Polish
national committee in Paris. headed
by Il. V. Dmowski. on the one hand
and the present de facto government
at Warsaw under General Pilsudski on
the other.
The Warsaw government was the
creation of the people of Poland them
selves, while the Polish national com
mittee has been largely supported by
the Poles in America and has among
its members some of the most emf
nent Polish leaders.
NJ. Dmowski contends that the War
saw government is not representative
because it inherits powers from the
Germans and is exclusively socialistic
and popularistic. General Pilsudki
charges that the other party is reao-
tionary, anti-Semitic and unaccepta-
Bile to the people at large.
The French government has refused
to recognize the Warsaw government
until it reaches an agreement with
the national committee. In order to
avoid the impression that the en-
tente is endeavoing TO impose gov
eminent on Poland from the outside
it is believed that 1t may be necessary
to await the approaching elections on
January 20, to demonstrate which
party has behind it a majority of the
Polish people.
one factor which may hasten action
by the entente governments, it is
pointed out, is the impending danger
of an attack by the Poles on eastern
Germany in advance of the determi-
nation of title that that section of

FL Paso, Tex, Jan. 13.-An agent of
Francisco villa here denied tonight
that Villa had entered into any agree
ment with other Mexican leaders, es-
pecially Felix Diaz, for the attempt
ed overthrow of the Carranza govern
ment and its replacement with pro-
visional government headed by Fran
cisco Leon La Barra. pending the
election of a civilian president
This statement was issued to refute
rumors in circulation on the border
recently that a so-called coalition
movement was being formed by Gen.
Felipe Angeles with Felix Diaz, Man
uel Palace, Higinio Aguilar and other
Mexican leaders, acting in concert
against Carranza. Villa attempted to
organize such a movement last No
vember, when he issued a statement to
the Associated Press at Ojinaga, Chi
huahua calling on all rebel leaders
to join with him in overthrowing the
Carranza government. When this
failed Villa announced he would con-
tinue the fight alone, his agent said,
adding that Villa now had little conf
dence in other Mexican leaders.
Mexican government partisans here
say the sudden revival of interest in
Mexican political affairs is due large
ly to the efforts of foreign interests
having holdings in Mexico to attract
the attention of the Paris peace con-
gress to the Mexican situation and to
the efforts of Mexican political refu-
gees in the United States to the same
end.

Il cannot too earnestly or solemn

to the whole European situation and
to the solutions of peace. Bolshevism
is steadily advancing westward, is
poisoning Germany. 1t cannot be
stopped by force, hut it can be stop

whom ! am in conference agree that
concerted action in this matter is of
immediate and vital importance.
The money will not be spent for
food for Germany itself, because
Germany can buy it's food.b ut it win
be spent for financing the movement
of food to our real friends in Poland
and to the people of the liberated
units. of the Austro- Hungarian en-

this matter with all possible urgency
