LEAGUE OF NATIONS TO Ex'
cLUDE OTHER QUESTIONS.

The programme commonly agreed
upon calls for primary considera-
ton of the forming OF a League or
Nations and the Congress Will work
on this to the exclusion OF all other
subjects.
Those European statesmen who
now appear friendly 10 the purpose OF
putting the League OF Nations ques-
ton to the fore have repeatedly ex-
pressed the view that the formation
OF the league and the making OF
peace are joint problems, which can
not be dissociated.
The efforts thus seem TO bc to
blend all energies to the laying OF
the foundations Of the league, so that
the conference may proceed TO the
actual making Of the peace treaty in
the early spring, even, indeed. If 1t
be only a preliminary one which will
dispose of the pressing question of
rehabilitation and tho return of the
warning countries "a nearly as pos
sible TO the economic conditions OF
peace.

1T Is doubtful, however, u this ref

that the purpose OF the review pre-
visions in the Constitutions OF most Of

plain. the action OF the Legislature in

"F1orida's Constitution provides
that any action OF the Legislature is
subject TO review.
But that State had gone dry by
vote OF the people before the question
OF ratification OF the Constitutional

Legislature, and when the Legislature

ratified the action OF the Legislature.

MONROE DOCTRINE
SAFE WITH LEAGUE,
SAYS LORD CECIL
America Might Act on Behalf
Of Body in Western
Hemisphere.

PARIS. TuYdoy, Jan. II Lord
Robert Cecil. who discussed with
American journalists tonight his
views as 10 the work OF n league OF
nations, had little to say relative TO
the limitation OF armaments. He ex-
pressed the opinion, however. that the
league OF nations certainly would
provide for the limitation and de-
crease OF present armamcnts" He
said that the league II formed. would
do away with all treaties inconsis-
tent with It's tencts, including COM
pacts providing for a balance Of
power.
Asked what effect the formation OF
league OF nations would have upon
the Monroe Doctrine. Lord Robert as
serted he could see no conflict with
the doctrine. Hypothetical questions
were raised as 10 what would happen
In case Mexico or "a South American
country did something that caused
trouble with the league, and Lord
Robert replied:
Then / think an arrangement
could be made by which America
could act in behalf OF the league"
Regarding tho admission OF the
Central Powers and their allies to
the league. Lord Robert said they
should be admitted III they showed
an inclination to do the right thing"
Speaking Of Germany he said:
I'VE must await events. II she
turns over a new leaf and tries TO
repair the damage she has done there
is no reason why she should not join.
The league is for the good Of hu-
manity and not for any select group.
It will benefit her II she comes in"
Austria, because OF her internal con-
dition, Is not yet ready for the League,
Lord Robert said. Dealing with an
other specific instance, he declared Il
would be an injustice TO exclude Bo-
hemia, saying: she was not TO blame
for the war and Is progressive"
Lord Robert said that the League
might In some cases take over ad-
ministrative control OF certain terri
tories Of great international interest
He said that Palestine and CONSTANT

In discussing tho probable efficacy
OF the plan 10 force obedience to de-
creos by the League, Lord Robert de-
Clared.
"If We had had conference on tho

not allowed them TO fight for set

TWO LEAGUE OF NATIONS
FACTIONS IN PARIS DRAW
TOWARD COMMON GROUND
Advocates and Opponents of Inter
national Police Force APP
proach COMPROMISE.

PARIS. Jan. is ASSOCIATED Press).
With the resumption to-day of the
meetings preliminary to the Peace
Conference 1t is apparent that the
movement to create a league OF ma
tions Is being carried on by two
forces having the same object bu;
differing as to the means for making
effective the decisions of the pro-
posed world society. One OF these
represents the contention that the
decisions OF the league must be
backed by its combined physical
view that its findings can be enforced
without the aid of u common world
police force.
Diplomatists. watching the move
ment OF the two ideas as they come
into bearing before the conference,
seem impressed with the view that
both are moving toward common
ground which, for example, might
provide that the nations could re-
serve for each individual case their
decision whether they would utilize
armed force or avail themselves OF
other means.
There Is reason 10 believe that such
an arrangement would meet with the
support Of some OF the European
statesmen. and there is nothing to
Indicate that it would be rejected by
tho American representatives.
This is the feature OF the situation
as II exists to-day.
The plans are being rapidly put into
shape in informal conferences and
are working toward a position where
the Peace Conference in full session
can discuss them thoroughly and
then probably name a committee or
commission from among its member
ship TO produce the framework In
writing, with the assistance of tho
technical advisers
The work before to-day's session
OF the Supreme Council comprised
completion OF the allotment Of rep
resentation OF the various nations
and a further delving into the ques-
tlon OF whether Russia should have
delegates in the larger body. In a
large sense the work to-day may be
compared to that of a Credentials
Committee proceeding the sitting ot
an American National Convention
The preliminary sessions will con-
tinue work on the question continu-
ously, with the expectation OF hav-
ing It entirely disposed of by Sat
urday, when the first formal sitting
OF the Peace Congress will be held.

DEAD ESTIMATED AT 200 AND
WOUNDED AT 1000.

Losses inflicted on each side in the
fghting In Berlin during the past
week are as yet estimated only rough
ly. But It Is believed that they will
greatly exceed 200 dead and 1000
wounded. The overwhelming ma
jority Of these are Bolshevists.
Property losses amount TO tens OF
millions OF marks. in addition TO the
damage TO newspaper plants and Gov
ernment buildings. Merchants loses
through looting are very high, ono
youth being captured with $1,000
marks worth Of jewels which he had
stolen. In some streets near the
police headquarters nearly every store
was systematically looted.
Bolshcvist troops holding the Silesia
station had so much butter that they
used it to grease their guns and
boots.

by local troops show that the Spar
tacan uprising was inspired from Mos

leader: George Ledebour. head OF the

element, and the immediate sup

the recent uprising would succeed
that they had prepared a proclama-
tion. dated Jan. s. In which the
Ebert Schcidomann Government was
declared deposed and formal an
| nouncement made that the Govern
ment had been taken over by the
revolutionists.
II was already known that DR..
Liebknecht and the then Police Chief
Eichhorn had told Lieut.. Fischer, the
! city commsndant. on the day named
| that IL had been decided TO over
throw the Government. The doeu-
mentary evidence 10 this effect is now
! adduced by the Norwacrts in the
form OF the proclamation referred TO,
The proclamation which. including
the signatures, was typewriter, was

The Ministry OF War on Jan. by a

BERLIN. Tuesday, Jan. II (Asso-
ciatcd Press) Berlin's long week OF
Bolshevism is 1nally ended. Here
and there scattered desperadoes.
mostly youths. still firc occasionally
from some use-top. and during the
nights attempts are made by small
bands OF the followers Of Dr. Karl
Liebknecht to revive the reign OF ter
ror. They are Insignificant. however,
compared with what has passed.
A few Spartacans tried to recapture
the Charlottenburg police headquar-
ters the night after they were taken
by the government troops.
DR. Karl Licbknechts sister was ar
rested to-day and several hundred
rebels are locked up awaiting trial,
which, lnasmuch as martial law was
not proclaimed. must bc left TO the
regular courts.
A Gordon of troops has been thrown
around the suburb ~ Moabit, one OF
the most important industrial see
tions in Greater Berlin, for the pur-
pose of carrying out the work OF
disarming civilians and such Sparta
can fighters as are still at liberty.
The military measure, which Is
being carried out in the most dras-
tic manner, came as u surprise. the
troops being thrown in and occupy
ing tho big industrial plants Of the
section which nre known 10 be
Spartacan strongholds. Pedestrians
are being halted and tho houses en-
tered by searching parties. The tcle-
phone service has been stopped for
the purpose OF making tho siege OF
Moabit as alright as possible.
This section Of Berlin is notorious
for its riotous tendencies and is gem
orally looked upon az n gathering
place for all the criminal elements.
The employee OF the Schwartz
kopff works, one of the most radical
bodies among the Berlin Proletarians
voted to-day 10 resume work on
Wednesday morning. Similar action
also put an end to the strike Of rpil
way employees at noon to-day. 't.
