BALANCE OF POWER
IS CLOSELY DIVIDED
Old And New World Powers
Are Represented Just
About Equally.
By Ed L. Keen

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, Jan. l6. - The peace settle
ment will be dictated by representa-
tives of the new world, final apportion-
ment Of delegates indicated today.
The "balance of powern seems to
be closely divided between the new
and old world elements, but there is
every reason TO believe the progressive
altruism Of the young democracies will
triumph over the conservative egotism
of the older nations in the FINAL clash.
Of the twenty eight countries Off
cially admitted to the conferences I'd
date nine represent the new world and
eleven the old world with the remain
ing eight inclined to lean toward the
younger powers. AS voting will be by
delegations, the new world vote con
sists of the United States, Canada, Bra
zil, Cuba Haiti, Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua and Panama. The old world
representatives are Great Britain,
France, Italy, Serbia, Belgium, Greece,
Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Czecho-
Slovalia and Montenegro. Liberia, be-
ing under American protection, probab-
ably will line up with the new world
representatives 1t is regarded as Ger
tain that they also will attract the
votes of the British dominions.
The remaining vote consists of ia
pan, China, India and Siam, which are
neither new world nor old world, but
are expected to play an important role
by swinging the balance one way or tho
othcr on questions wnee tho vote is
close,

Army BILL CALLS FOR
COMPLETE REBUILDING
Main Temporary Feature Is
Provision For Army Of
100000 Men.

Washington, Jan. 16.-A bill calling
for complete rebuilding of the Amer
lean army organization along the
s'lines found most useful during the
war" " was laid before the house mill
tary committee by Secretary of War
Baker, The bill would make the gen
eral staff, headed by chief of staff,
supreme in the army.
The main temporary feature is the
provision of an army of 100000 men
until a permanent figure can be set
tied on.
Baker made it plain he would not
recommend universal military training
and that states would be aided in re-
organizing their national guard if they
would bear their share of the burden
of expense. The proposals encountered
an extremely hostile committee, many
of whom are in favor of cutting gener-
al staff influence instead of increasing
it.
Representative Mckenzie, Illinois,
asked why an army Of 100000 men was
recommended.
fGt's forecast of our military sit
uation," Baker said. "We have no
means of knowing what the military
obligations of the states will be in
the future We believe an army of
100000 will meet these obligations. y
Several members brought up obpec-
tions to an army of 100000 declaring
it would never be reduced if once
authorized. Baker said the size could
easily be cut by future congresses.
Chairman Dent reminded Baker that
it would probably be impossible to put
through any permanent reorganization
at this session, advocating continuing
as at present with small appropria-
ton.
Baker insisted the bill be taken be-
fore congress now, repeating congress
should change it.
"Unless it is passed, Wen have IN
