made under the Brussels agreement, it is
learned, cannot be determined before
April 18th, when the German Govern
ment expects tc have a report on the
surrender to the Government of German
owned foreign securities which is in pro-
gress. The Allied financial delegates
meanWhi e continue the discussion with
the German delegates at Senlis of the
value and the availability of particular
security so that when the German report
on surrendered securities is received, it
will be calculated to what extent they
can be used in financing food imports.
The export OF raw materials from Ger
many which will also play a role in the
payment Of food, is in progress across
the German frontier to adjacent neutrals,
but because of the disturbed conditions
the amount is rather disappointing. The
German delegates at Senlis persist in
their requests that Germany be given
foreign credit to be used in purchasing
food. There has been no change how
ever, in the disposition of the Allies to
insist on payment in cash, securities and
exports.
London, April 7th british Wireless
Service): The difficulty of putting the
text of the covenant Of the League OF
Nations in the peace treaty that Germany
is to sign il Germany is not a party to
the covenant, which she by her signature
would accept, says the Paris correspon-
dent of the Westminster Gazette, has
been cleared up. by a skilful piece of
craftsmanship the covenant as it will
appear in the treaty is so Worded tNat
while the existence and jurisdiction Of
the League will be recognized by Ger
many, that country will not be immedi-
ately received as a member. She will
however xpress her full accord in the
constitution of such a body and will agree
to abide by its decisions. Although there
is at present no question of Germany be-
ing one Of the original signatory powers
it is contemplated that as soon as it is
certain that that country will faithfully
carry out the obligations of the league,
it will come in. This is a line which will
be pursued in regard to other enemy
states. They will be invited to subscribe
to the principles of the League and in
that sense they will be probationary
members without a voice in the Councils.
States without a stable government are
equally ineligible for membership which
--suppos the ability of a signatory
power to fulfill the pledged conditions.
It is learned that numerous neutral
lowers who have been consulted are en-
thusiastic supporters of the idea and
there is no possible doubt as to their
inclusion at an early date. Their sug-

Conferences Will be Held
Between Factions and
the Entente.

London, Jan. 13.-It is reported
here that conferences soon will be
held in The south of Russia in which
will participate representatives Of the
various Entente powers, representa-
tives Of the Ukraine government, the
Don C~ossacks, the Orenburg Cossacks
and the provisional governments of
Armenia and Georgia. Their purpose
will he to reach an understanding as
to h creation Of a government in
south Russia, the Caucasus and the
Trans-Caucasus, with which the En-
tente powers can cooperate in re-
storing normal economic, social and
political conditions.
Although the Bolsheviki have many
followers throughout the Ukraine,
they never were predominant, even
in the shipbuilding cities Of the Black
sea. In the Don region and in the
Caucasus and TransCaucasus their
hold has beer even slighter. Cossacks
of all sorts have been enemies of the
Bolsheviki, as they are all landhold-
ers and unalterably opposed to- the
domination Of their districts by put
siders.
Many British naval and military
officers, as we'll Is civil officials have
left London for the Black sea district
since the signing Of the armistice and
commercial interests are also sending
representatives to look the situation
over preparatory to opening up the
extensive oil and grain districts.

the new government at Archangel
shut Bolshevik Russia of entirely
from its ports, and the u~nfriendliness
of the government in all these Sec
lions to the Moscow government I'M
der Lenine, is daily increasing the
strain on Soviet Russia. The new
governments in these various sections
which have refused to accept Boil
shevism are not as stable as the En-
tente powers might wish. While they
all express their desire to become a
part of Russia should federation be-
come possible under an acceptable
central government, the political diff
ferences in all the four sections lance
have been keen, and party quarrels
and the ambition of rival leaders have
frequently exceeded patriotism in h
struggle for power.
Only about 40,O00.0 900 inhabitants
now remain under Bolshevik control.
The total population of the Russian
empire as it existed before the revolu-
ton was estimated at 10000, 900.
The great majority of this population
is in the portion of Russia south OF
Bolshevik rule, which is far the rich
est and most populous portion OF the
former empire.
Consequently, developments in
South Russia are watched with great
eagerness by military and naval men
and diplomatists alike. A stable cen
trail government established at Kiev.
Odessa or Sebastapel and recognized
by the Entente powers would control
the great majority of Russia,s natural
resources, especially If it gained con-
Itrol Of the Volga and established COM
munication with the mineral deposits
of the Urals, and the grain fields OF
Siberia.
Such a government would naturally
be the key to Russia's political and
economic future. Northern Russia is
sterile in contrast with the south. 1ts
lands are poor. Moscow n Petro,

REPUBLICANS SHOW PEP
IN ORGANIZING HOUSE

| washington, March 15.-Organiza-
tion of the next house of representa-
tives without delay, so as TO plan in
advance for the important legislation
to be enacted during the summer, has
been perfected by the republicans.
Not only was the contest for the
Sponsorship between James h. Mann
OF Illinois. and Frederick II. Gillette
OF Massachusetts, decided in favor of
the latter, but committee ON com
mttteesl composed of one member
from each state with power to vote
according to the total number of re-
publican members in each state del
egation, was named before adjourn
ment to apportion the ehairmen and
membership, name a majority leader,
ana appoint q steering committee.
Naming OF chairmanships of all of
the committees was based entirely up
ON the ground of seniority and there
fore Of length of service and expert
ence. AS the republican majority OF
forty-six in the 66th congress Is dis
tributed generally from Maine to
California, and comprises such South
efn states as Virginia, Maryland,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri ana
Oklahoma as we'll, the domination OF
that party will be thoroughly nation
al. in contrast to the complete rule Of
the south during the past six years in
the committees of both house and
senate, several of the executive de
partments and the presidency.
II is apparent that the republicans
are anxious to get down to the bust
ness of legislating for the country,
after an absence from all national
power for six years, and that they in
tend to waste no time about ii. Or
dinarily, new house of representa-
tiyes requires two or three weeks TO
organize, but this one will start under
the wire without the delay of an
hour. The speaker will take the
chair, the floor leader will spring into
&C ion, and the wheels of all the com
m'ttees will Immediately begin work.
Since the present administration has
been in control of both house and
senate, the full list of appropriation
bills has never yet been enacted be-
fore the end of the short session. The
last was no exception.
