PARIS, July 11.-Deplorable con-
ditions in this war-weary world of
3urs are causing the greatest concern
among the allied peace makers. The
situation has been brought sharply
to the fore by the necessity of send
ing armed forces to preserve order
and compel observance of the peace
terms in enemy territory. For the
Bulgaria and Hungary are at
dagger points, requiring drastic
tretament. But elsewhere the fires
of unrest are beginning to burn
fiercely, and something Smust be
done by the great powers to check
the flames.
That the world may understand
efforts to bring ORDER out of chaos
formal review of the situation may
be issued in behalf of the American
peace commission among whose
members the opinion prevails that
the people should be told the truth.
Whether it is advisable to publish
frank exposition of the prevailing
menace, to the stablishment of real
Deace will be determined before Sec
retary Lansing sails for America.
The apprehension permeating the
American delegation is shared by the
representatives of other powers. 1t
appears it has been the general ex-
pectation that when the Germans ac-
Icepted the peace conditions the world
Immediately would be restored to
normal. Quite the contrary is the
case, and the state of affairs is much
worse than is understood.
Allied troops are needed in Bull
garia and Hungary, not to mention
Turkey, the occupied regions of Ger
| many, and bad spots here and there
| in Eastern Europe and Western
Asia, but how to provide these troops
is problem that all the peace max
| ing statesmen now in Paris are
racking their brains to solve. They
have been made to realize the grav-
| ity fthe questions by the eondi-
tions in Bulgaria and Hungary, where
| greatly augmented allied armed
tforces are needed Immediately. Bu1
fgaria's peace delegation has been ap
pointed and is due to arrive in Paris
on July 25. The country, however

disposition is being manifested T.
