PARIS, March 4.-The French do not
deem the security afforded by the League
of Nations as sufficient even after very
thorough disarming of Germany and
even II the Allies are able to lay down
in detail the organization OF the future
armies east Of the Rhine.
In any great European conflict France
is sure to receive the first big blow. and
it is only thanks to German possession
OF both banks of the Rhine that sine has
been enabled to launch what was prac-
tlcally a surprise attack in overwheln-
ing numbers
Strategically therefore the Rhine Is
the only frontier which really guaran-
tees France against fresh invasion. Po-
litically, however, that frontier would
have very many drawbacks. France
has no desire to create on the left bank
another Alsace-Lorraine, but she wants
to deprive those regions of their military
value to Germany and particularly to
Prussia.
The surest way OF doing this would
be to favor the development OF republic
neutral, both IN political and military
matters and close the door against Ger
man invasion over the Rhine. Many
writer's have pointed out how useful II
would be to assist in the birth OF a
Rhenish w estphalian State.

tor OF the Chinese aerial service. Air

manufacturers.

That will be In direct opposition to thu

to argue nationally what military pre-
cautions are necessary until the full

precisely on that point that the Britis
press Is inclined to question the wisdor

"Once Germany has been made

PEACE COMMISSIONS
NEAR END OF LABORS
Decision Reached to Change
Dutch-Beigian Boundary.

PARIs. March 4-Most Of the commits
sions of the Peace Conference are near
ing the end OF their work. Four made
great progress to-day, the most i'm
portant development being a decision
regarding a revision of the treaty of
1888 relative to the boundaries between
Belgium and Holland. The waterways
and ports commission also Is finishing
the draft OF a report which excludes
completely all American waterways.
So general has been the progress made
that II was said to-day all reports might
be expected to be ready for considera-
ton by President Wilson on March IA.
In which case he will review them in
four days. 30 that a plenary meeting OF
the Peace Conference may be held be-
fore March 81.
New economic and financial commits
sons will soon be added TO the Peace
Conference organization. The commits
sions each will comprise ten members
from the great Powers and five members
from the minor Powers combined.
The economic commission will take up
thessubjects of customs regulation, the
disposition OF private contracts between
citizens of Entente countries and those
OF the Central Powers. the status OF
the fate of the commercial treaties made
before the war
The task OF the financial commission
will be to decide how the enemy coun-
tries shall pay their duties, how the
public debts shall be apportioned among
the enemy countries whose boundaries
change as the result Of the peace treaty
and what disposition shall be made OF
the papar money now in circulation.

PARIS, March 1.-THE work of the ter
ritorial commissions of the Peace Con-
ference, which have been graphing for
several weeks with the diverse and ex-
ceedingly complex nationality prob
lens of the Balkans Is drawing near
completion. Many more or less i'm
solved already. SO that when President
Wilson arrives he will have placed be-
fore him what Is virtually a new map Of
central and eastern Europe.
In the absence of definite official re-
ports the exact findings Of these COM
missions cannot be stated, but the fol-
Lowing summary. derived from varied
and competent sources, gives an idea of
the frontiers as traced by the commits
sions, subject OF course to revision by

that in compensation offered to the

the Austrians and Magyars the disputed
region will go to Poland, with certain
economic privileges in the mining re-
gions reserved for the Czecho- Slovaks.
