premier of the country in which .
the conference is held. President
Wilson and the American dele
gates have agreed to his appoint

sent of all the delegates.
Paris, JAM. 11.-President Wilson,
while awaiting for the opening Of
conversations with the premiers of
the Allied nations has been devoting
himself to study Of the food situation,
the acute question of rehabilitation
and the extent to which he will sup
port the claims Italy is expected will
make at the peace congress. American
Russia and Poland and other coun-
tries and the Bolshevist movement
are problems also considered.
1t is understood that Mr.. Wilson
has informed Premier Orlando of
Italy as to his attitude, relative to
Italian aspirations east of the Adri-
attic. 1t may be said that the presi-
dents decisions as to this question
can be described as only a part en-
not expected to approve Italian DOM

probably support Italy's demand that
her eastern coast be made safe from
military threats. Jugo-Slav claims
have also received earnest. cOnsldera-

Paris, Friday. Jan. lot is un-
derstood on the best authority that
negotiations have been under way for
some time between the Allies looking
to possible representation of all the
different parties of Russia at the
peace congress. It is understood that
the admissions of these delegates
would be on the condition that a truce
between them be declared and ac-
copied during the period covered by
peace negotiations.
This proposition which is supposed
to emanate from the British govern

a Copenhagen dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph company.
Several dispatches from the Associ-
ated Press correspondents in Berlin,
filed on Friday up to 3 o'clock in the
afternoon and received here this
morning, contained no mention of the
reported death of DR.. Liebknecht. The
dispatches, in fact, do not refer to
happenings in Berlin but deal with
events in the provinces or with press
COMMENT Nothing definite is known
here as to what Fridays developments
in Berlin really are.
Amsterdam advices, dated Thurs
day, contain reports of further ac-.
tivity by the Spartacans in the Rhine
towns. They apparently control Dus-
seldorf. where several prominent per-
ons were arrested while many others
only escaped arrest by crossing the
Rhine. The Muenster Anzeiger re-
ports that the Spartacans stormed the
prison in Muenster and set free 10
criminals.

anything to say definitely Of large

The growing confidence of the gov

the reports that the government has

authorities, Representative Fess, Ohio,
told the House today.
Fess and Senator Harding, OF Ohio,
have introduced measures embodying
the recommendations Tess made today.
"The last epidemic caused 100000
deaths and q total economic loss Of
nearly i,O0O,OOO,O 900, according 20 flg-
ures compiled by the American Medical
Association" Fess said.
"The all important thing now Is TO
find a cure for the disease. This will
require expensive research, and I pro-
pose that the money shall be expended
under the direction Of the Public Health
Service.
There Is a general belief in the medi-
cal world that the second and third
years will show frlghtful after effects
unless specific remedies can be found
but the appalling loss Of 10000 lives,
1--WE times our loss in the war, with as
surance that the plague will appear
again, is enough TO arouse us to imme-
diate action.
ut is generally believed that success
will follow the efforts Of the medical
world in its fight against the epidemic
Just as in the cases Of yellow fever,
typhus, diphtheria and other maladies."
Fess read to the House a letter from
Otto p. Geir, secretary Of the American
Medical Association, which stated that
mortality was 40 per cent. above the
normal death rate In the years after the
previous influenza epidemics. Medical
authorities, Geir admitted, are still baf-
fed over the origin and cause Of the
disease and states that the possibility
Of the discovery OF any real antitoxin
for influenza is wholly dependent upon
the discovery Of the actual germ caus-
ing the disease
