PARIS, Feb. 6:-Positive steps for
~reconciling differences between the
greater and lesser nations at the
peace conference which were begun
yesterday are being continued today.
In addition to winning -four additional
places on the commission of the So
ciety of nations, it seems probable
that the lesser powers also will be
granted adequate representation in
the executive body of the society rs
well as the Legislative section. Tie
small powers are insisting on being
given a greater voice in the society
and plans under consideration are
being revised to meet the situation.
When the commission OF the socie-
ty of nations meets tonight represent
tatives of Poland, Roumania, Greece
CZecho Slovokia will be present
together with those of China, Brazil.
Belgium, Portugal. Serbia and the
five great powers. President Wilson
expects to be present every night this
week as the work for forming the
plan of the society of nations is re-
garded by him as of extreme import
3nce.

tories under Ottoman rule, asking to
be put under the protection Of the
United States or at least thct America

More significant still is the pressure
brought to bear 10 bring about a de-
cision whereby America hould be en-
trusted with the duty of looking after
Constantinople, the Bosphorous, and
the Dardanelles, which it is believed
will be internationalized by the peace
conference. Even the great European
powers are urging America to accept
that responsibility as she Is the only
country which has ne direct interest
in the near East aud cannot arousc
any jealousy and secure the confl-
denco of all people involved.

League Considers Resolution.

The executive committee of the
New Jersey State League of Munich
palities yesterday received the reso-
luton introduced by Mayor Frank
Dorsey hat the league favor legisla-
ton to have the state take over the
two important bridges which form a
part of W. of the state highway sys-
TENS in this county. 1t was accorded
a splendid reception and the only OBJ
jector was the mayor of Nutley. who
vas unacQuainted with the bill intro
duced by Senator Thomas Brown, and
the matter was placed in the hands
Of the legal committee. who will re-
port back on the bill at the meeting
OF the executive committee lei week.
AS the wording Of the resolution
insufficiently covered the Albany
street bridge at New Brunswick the
mayor, in reading il, called attention
10 that structure also.
There were eleven members of out
of fifteen present and all but one
favored the resolution and he did not
for the reasons given above. Mayor
Caulkins. of Plainneld, said h a he
thought it would be best to have the
matter referred to the legal advisory
committee. Mayor Gillen of Newark
and Mayor Seger of Passaic both
spoke in favor of the resolution and
the measure which it is designed for.
Inc mayor eApGCtb tnG uUdtililouc
approval of the state league repre-
sentatives when the matter finally
comes before the entire league.
One of the other matters which
came to the attention of the commit
tee yesterday was the vehicular tun-
mel under the Hudson river which is
to be constructed jointly by New York
and New Jersey. The league favors
a bond issue rather than a direct tax
on of the state TO pay the
cost of construction as they feel that
the direct tax. which calls for the
complete payment In five years.. IS
creating a hardship on citizens of the
state, whereas a bond issue covering
a CREATE number of years is lessen
ing the burden of the taxpayers.
The committee favors a free traf-
fc tunnel and not a toll tunnel as has
been suggested. as they feel that 1t Is
unfair to ask citizens of the state to
pay the tax and the toll too. II is
understood that New York state will
raise their share of the cost without
direct taxation, and il Is felt that II
would be a hardship to ask New Jer-
seyites TO pay the tax and toll while
the New Workers only paid the toll.
The committee also considered the
bill now pending in the state legis-
Iature. which would change the be-
ginning OF the fiscal year for schools
from July l to January /. TO CORE
spond with the fiscal yea OF the state.

OF FINANCIAL WORLD NEW PHILADELPHIA STOCK
MORE FRACTIONS CLIPPED
OFF THE LOCAL STOCKS
Same Drbbng Liquidation in the Leading Investment Shares
Ne,U Lou for Pennsy and Union Traction

Continued weakness of the invest
ment shares and the painfully thin mar =
ket for many of the inactive stocks were
the overshadowing developments of to-
day 8 local market. A number of new
low records were made by prominent
stocks which heretofore have enjoyed
what could be called n stable market.
The persistence of dribbling liquida
tlon of many of these standard issues is
beginning to get on the nerves Of the
street. More so because the selling In
many instances is unwarranted by con e
ditions.
Keccssions were generally confined
within fractional limits, but in most
cases this meant the establishment of
new low records for the year, The sell :
ing pressure centered practically around
the same stocks, namely Pennsylvania
Railroad, Lehigh Navigation. United
Gas Improvement.
AT the same time fresh weakness de =
veloped in Union Traction, which fell
to new low record at 345s. Unques
tionably some of the selling was influ l.
enced by the recent fantastic reports
concerning the proposed financing or
adjustment Of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Co. Shareholders of the Union
Traction Co. should be fully convinced
by this time they cannot be assessed
without their consent. ANY further
payment on capital account must be
voluntary on their part, notwithstand
