HUN COLONIES
 TO BE M0THERED BY b|G NATIONS
Mandatories Will Be Named For Each-Nation Most Capable Of Acting To Be Chosen-League Of Ma tions To Act In Capacity Of Trustee.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-(By the Associated Press)-The accord reached by the council of the great powers concerning the disposal of the German colonies and occupied regions in Turkey, in Asia, is much more definite than is generally supposed, and, besides ac- ceptance in principle, of the American plan of the mandatories, it embraces the following main features:
 The allied and associated powers are agreed that the German colonies shall not be returned to Germany, owing, first, to the mismanagement, cruelty and the use of these colonies as sub- marine bases.
 The conquered regions of Armenia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Palestine and Arabia shal be detached from the Turkish empire.
 Provision is made whereby the we'll being and development of backward colonial regions are regarded as the sacred trust of civilization, over which the league of nations exercises super Viory care. The administration or tutelage of these regions is entrusted to the more advanced nations, who will act as mandatorieS in behalf of the league of nations.
 These mandatorieS are not uniform, but vary according to the degree of development of the colonial region and it's approach to the stage of self gov ernment. The mandate in Palestine, Syria and other portions of Turkey, where well developed civilization ex- ists. would be comparatively light, and would probably permit of the pro- visional recognition of the independ- ence of these communities.
 On the other hand, colonies like those in central Africa would require mandatory with large powers of ad- ministration. as responsible for the suppression of the slave trade, the liquor traffic, ammunition and arms traffic and the prevention of military authority on the part of the natives except for native police purposes. Other colonies and localities. such a: 1 those in German southwest Africa anc l some of the south Pacific islands, hav' 1 such sparse and scattered populations and are so separated from other com munities, that the laws of themanda 1 tory country would probably prevail in these regions.
 1 The foregoing general outline indi | cates, on broad lines. the terms, where 1 by it is declared conflicting view were finally reconciled and 8 common agreement was reached, acceptable l.
 all the great and colonial powers.

Enemy Using Gas Ger mans Suspected Of Being Involved-Foch To Take Sum mary Action If Treachery Is Discovered Forty Mile Retirement Worries.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The situa- tion in the Archangel district is re- garded by military officers in northern Russia as extremely critical.
 Advices to the war department to- day made no reference to an appeal for endorsements, but is was said that inasmuch as this was a matter for determination by the supreme war council at Paris, a more complete re- port had been sent to that body, pos sibly with request for additional sup port. Reports that the bolsheviki forces were using gas shells was taken here by some officers to mean that this equipment had been supplied through German sources, notWith- standing the terms of the armistice and if this was established as a fact it was intimated that drastic action against the Germans would be taken by Marshal Foch.
 Available figures obtained by war department officials show that the British force in the region of the north is approximately 5000; American 4,500; French, 1,5o0; loyal Russians under British officers 1,2o0 and 1000 other soldiers of one of the small allied coun- tries The exact disposition of these forces is not known officially in Wash ington, no report on this having been made in some weeks. Army officials said. that the body of troops now re- treating before well armed and re- inforced bolsheviki, was small. being little more than an advanced post. Reports of a forty y-mile retirement however, led experts to believe that a larger body was engaged than had been supposed. General March, chief of staff, expressed the opinion a week ago that the number of troops in the advance south from Archangel was sufficient to keep the situation in hand Use of gas and high explosives by the bolsheviki was looked upon by 1 army men as the most disquieting fea- ture of the military reports, as they
 affected Americans. Taresevo, iron | which it was reported the Americans | had been forced to retire, is a smal
 town, about 13o miles directly soutf l of Archangel. It does not appear or war department maps.
