Geneva, Switzerland, Jan, 2s,--
Losses sustained by Serbia during
the war are estimated by Milos
Savcic, member OF the central COM
mittee for Serbian reconstruction
here, to aggregate l0,000,000,000
francs. This is exclusive of the war
expenses incurred by Serbia and of
the war loans which Serbia received
from the allies.
Mr.. Savcic asserts that the present
value of the Serbian property would
be double what it was at the time
of its destruction, or 20,000,000000
francs.

was everywhere watehful and at
tentiYe.
And If we do not make il vital,
what shall we dof We shall disap-
point the expectations of the peo-
pies, This is what their thought
eenters upon.
Il had the very delightful expert
ence of visiting several nations since
/ came to this side Of the water, and
every time the voice Of the body of
the people reached me through any
representative, at the front of the
plea stood the hope of the league
Of nations.
Gentlemen, the select classes Of
mankind are no longer the govern
ors of mankind. The fortunes of
mankind are now in the hands Of
the plain people of the whole world.
Satisfy them and you have justified
their confidence not only, but have
established peace. Fail to satisfy
them and no arrangements that you
can make will either set up or steady
the peace of the world.
Obey Peoples Mandates.
''You can imagine, dare say, the
sentiments and the purpose with
which the Representatives of the
United States support this great
project for a league Of nations. We
regard it as the keynote of the
whole fabric. which expressed our
purpose and ideals in this war and
which the associated nations have
accepted as the basis of settlement.
IF we return to the United States
without having made every effort in
our power to realize this program
we should return to meet the merited
scorn of our fellow citizens. For
they are a body that constitute a
great democracy. They expect their
leaders to speak; their representa-
tives to be their servants.
We have no choice but to obey
their mandates. But it is with the
greatest enthusiasm and pleasure
that we accept that mandate. And
because this is the keynote of the
whole fabric we have pledged our
every purpose to it, as we have to
every item Of the fabric. We would
not dare abate a single item of the
program which constitutes our in
structions; we would not dare to
compromise upon any matter as the
champion of this thing-this peace
of the world, this attitude of justice,
this principle that we are the masters
of no peoples, but are here to see
that every people in the world shall
choose its own masters and govern
its own destinies, not as we wish,
but as they wish.
1--WE are here to see, in short, that
the very foundations of this war
are swept away. Those foundations
were the private choice of small
coterie of civil rulers and military
stats. Those foundations were the
aggression of great powers upon the
small. Those foundations were the
holding together of empires of un-
willing subjects by the duress Of
arms. Those foundations were the
power of small bodies Of men to
WELD their will and use mankind as
pawns in game.
"And nothing less than the enan-
cipation of the world from these
things will accomplish peace.

lives of the United States are there

Of choosing a way Of expediency,

more urgent for the moment
II do not know if we shall sue
coed in our enterprise, but IL is al

The Italian premier, Vittorio Or
lando, followed Mr.. Lloyd George.
He declared that no people were
reader to accept the league OF ma
tfons in its entirety than the Italian
Louis Bourgeoise, the veteran
French supporter of the league of
nations, spoke next, pledging the
French to do everything that can
help to put US on the road which
has been pointed out by President
Wilson"
The Chinese and Polish delegates
declared that they supported the
plan.

mier Hughes of Australia, IF we

ed"

NJ. Clemenceau.
The Chinese delegates added their
support to the resolution saying that
China associated herself in the lofty
ideals expressed. The Polish dele
gates and Camille Huysmans, head
Of the Belgian delegation, added
their strong approval.
rs there any objection to the res
olution?" asked M. Clemenceau.
There was no response and he de-
clared the resolution unanimously
adopted.
M. Clemenceau then announced
the composite committee, and the
order of the names as announced
makes President Wilson chairman.
Louis Klotz of the French dele
CATION proposed financial section
to the league of nations, but the pro-
posal finally went over.
Smaller Powers Protest.
The first signs of division in the
conference was when it proceeded to
consider the four resolutions framed
by the council of the great powers,
providing for committees on labor,
responsibility for the war, reparation
for damages and ports, railways
and waterways.
Camille Huysmans, in behalf Of
Belgium, asked for two members on
the committees of labor, PREPARATION
and the league of nations, and one
each on the others. Serbia made a
similar request.
Brazil was more emphatic, declar-
ing against "a cut and dried pro-
gram" and saying that the confer
ence should be master of its own
decisions.
M. Venizelos said that Greece was
entitled to membership on the COM
mittees of reparation and ports. M.
Bratiano, for Roumania, and DR..
Benes, China, Siam and Poland, also
asked for places on the committees.
Clemenceau Answers Objections.
M. Clemenceau finally, in a good
tempered speech, said that the coun-
Gil had not imposed its decisions,

U. S. Must Support
Wilson Peace Plan,
Says Senator Lewis

New York, Jan. Ex-senator
James Hamilton Lewis, Of Illinois,
speaking today before the Lawyers
club in support of the proposal for
a league Of nations, declared that
the American government could not
abandon -iAgle one of President
Wilson's IA principles without lay
ing itself open to the charge of
perhdy.
Germany, Senator Lewis said,
would have the first right to refuse
to abide by the terms of the armis-
tice, the allies would be justified in
withdrawing from the peace table
and all small nations or aspiring
peoples fighting with the United
States on the basis of the presi-
dents proposals would be excused
before the world in turning from

minded men who have had to do
with the beginning of this great
business.
Il hope, Mr.. Chairman, when it is
known, as | feel confident it will
be known, that we have adopted the
principle of the league of nations
and mean to work eat that principle
in effective action, we shall by that
single thing have lifted. great
part of the load of anxiety from the
hearts of men everywhere,
Americans in Crusade.
I'VE stand in peculiar cause. AS
/ go about the streets here | see
everywhere the American uniform.
Those men came into the war after
we had uttered our purpose. They
came as crusaders, not merely to win
war, but to win a cause. And |
am responsible to them, for it falls
to me to formulate the purpose for
which | asked them to fight and /,
like them, must be a crusader for
these things, whatever it costs and
whatever it may be necessary TO do
in honor to accomplish the object
for which they fought.
Il have been glad to find from
day to day that there is no ques-
ton of our standing alone in this
matter, for there are champions of
this cause upon every hand, l am
merely avowing this in order that
you may understand why, perhaps,
If fell to us, who are disengaged
from the politics of this great con-
tinent and of the orient, to suggest
that this was the keyote of the arch
and why it occurred to the generous
mind of your president to call upon
nue. to open this debate. 1t is not
because we alone represent this
idea, but because it is our privilege
to associate ourselves with you in
representing it.
II have only tried in what I have
said to give you the fountains OF
the enthusiasm which is within us
for this thing, for these fountains
spring, it seems to me, from all the
ancient wrongs and sympathies of
mankind, and the very pulse Of the.
world seems to beat to the fullest
in this enterprise"
Lloyd George Seconds.
At the conclusion of the reading
OF translation of President Will
sons speech, Premier Lloyd George
said, in part:
Il should not have interviewed at
ali, but it was necessary for me to
state how emphatically the people
of the British empire are behind this
proposal and if the leaders of the
British empire have not been able
to devote as much time during the
last five years as they would have
liked to this question, the reason is
that they were. entirely occupied
