TERMS OF FRANCE
FOR PEACE VITAL
Future Dependent Upon
! Adoption of Stable Policy,
y Without Compromise.

Special Correspondence Of The Star
PARIS. January 10.-With the hnai
opening of the peace conference pre-
liminaries Frances lowest terms for
peace become live questions. On these
needs she cannot compromise because,
with the sole exception of Belgium.
her need of stable peace is greater
and more vital than that of any other
of the powers. and because the dan
ger to her peace is ever present along
her frontiers.
This is why, as I have said before
France must stand with England ier
the seas; why France must not let
down her protection barriers, first be-
cause she needs their revenue and,
second, because she must have their
defense against economic aggression
on the part of others. and why France
must see TO il that Russia is saved
alive to save her own financial in
terests there and TO insure herself
against a new onslaught OF Germany
controlling Russia. All this means
that France is obliged TO judge every
proposition laid before the peace con-
ference in the light of the one thing
necessary to her own peace-In-
surance and guarantee against future
invasion.

Citizens Presence Innovation.

The presence of representatives of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
lions at these hearings. although un-
official so far as the War Labor Board
is concerned. is considerable of de-
parture from the usual proceedings.

for permission TO appear in rep
resentative capacity at the hearings
will be notified unoffcially today that
he may appear To what extent Mr.
Clayton may act in the conduct of
the hearing will be determined when
the time arrives. Mr.. Ciayton's activ-
tiles probably will be dependent en-
tirely upon the judgment of the Of

Officers of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and representa-

meet this afternoon to agree upon the

Most Burning Question"

A most burning question It the
peace conference will be the political
independence of the Polish people.
In the French revolution, under the
Emperor Napoleon and King Louis
Philippe and the second empire.
France kept this question alive while
the other powers kept silence before
the accomplished fact of the separa-
ton and subsection of the Polish
people under Russia, Austria and
Prussia. For France today there is
something more than the right of the
Polish people to their independence,
which has moved President Wilson.
Another question vital to the French
people is now involved.
Unless the twelve millions and more
of Poles become politically lndepend-
ent of Russia Austria and Germany.
will it be possible for any league :
nations or any peace settlement TO
prevent Germany building up again a
giant military power ready to invade
France once more?
In her war of 1870 against France,
Prussia modified hundreds of
thousands of her Polish subjects
whom she had militarized like the
Prussians themselves. After her
victory over France. Prussia tried for
years to make Polish subsection for
ever sure by forcing the sale of land
TO German immigrants into the
Polish provinces and making the
German element predominant. In
this war she has used to the utmost
limit all her Polish soldiers and all
the resources of her Polish provinces
to invade and conquer France.

Necessary to France.

It is necessary to France that Ger
many shall not again be able to draw
soldiers to invade France from a sub
-ject race of Poles, just as Germany
cannot be allowed to bring disorgan-
ICED Russians under her subsection.
and SO build up new military power
more monstrouS than before to invade
France.
This is not at all the old idea of a
buffer state between Germany and a
Russia who should still be allied with
France. The new Poland, with her
seaport on the Baltic. would have the
interest and necessity to keep the
peace and to watch out that her
neighbor. Germany. did the same
and also that the Russian Peoples
should organize in peaceful order and
production. II is only when all the
peoples whose best men Germany has
forced to war, under her or against
her, shall be able to work and re-
cover prosperous living that real
peace will come For that a free and
independent Poland is necessary-for
the Polish people themselves and that
Germany may not again invade
France.

THE Sky PILOT IN NO MANS
LAND. By Ralph Connor. author
of THE Sky Pilot" etc. New
YORK: George H. Doran Company.
At the outset here Ralph Connor
has fine running start toward a
prime romance and a first-class war
adventure OF this advantage he
makes good use. From one of his
admirably characteristic scenes of
Canadian backwoods activity he
moves with the times into the mobili-
zation Of Canada for the war. Mar
rowing the action to a group of
Canadians wherein the young sky
pilot has inconspicuous place, he
pictures in realistic fashion the
crossing, first to England and then

ing fronts are here dramatically
gathered up in a thousand hard de-
tails 0f camp and Ear. These details
circle around the growth of the sky
pilot from a youth of innumerable
indecisions and self-questionings into
d man of self-forgetfulness and
courage and beautiful friendliness to-
ward lonely and often frightened
boys at the front Capt Barry Dun
