LEAGUE NOT TO BIND
NATIONS TO RULES
Allies Agree Treaty Must Pro-
Uide for World Pact.
Special Desp1,eh 10 The SUI

WAsHiSGToS Jan. Sin view Of
latest information from the American
peace delegation. which officials here
are not at liberty to discuss as freely
as they would like. IL develops that the
much discussed question OF the relation
ship which the league OF nations pro-
posal will bear to the peace treaty has
been decided In President Wilson's mind
and possibly In the minds OF the En-
tente leaders as well.
The programme calls for the commit
meIt OF the four leading nations to the
principle OF joint and cooperative action
70 prevent future wars but does not
seek to bind these nations 10 any par.
, .!cular constitution or set Of rules at
this time. ard refrains from affecting
the sovereign rights OF each separate
State to determine It's own action IN the
face OF any emergency which might
arise
The basic idea. as explained hy off,
cials here has been TO provide for the
groundwork OF league ot nations with
the confident hope that the detailed plan
~ the league would result In time from
the normal growth OF this Fundamental
, principle that all free peoples desire
20 arrive at practical means OF main
tanning peace among themselves regard
less OF the obstacles which are regarded
Two vital points apparently are being
insisted upon by President WilSn with
tho support of the British. French and
Italian Preniers. One Is that the foun-
datson for the league must be provided
for IN the treaty itself and the other
Ia that eorrr guarantees must ne had
against the fundamental idea hcng per-
United 10 simply remain an abstract Idea
after the peace treaty with tina enemy
is fat accompli. The Presidents
plan now Is said to contain these
features OF particular Importance
in their relationship TO sentiment In the
United States Senate.
II does not commit the United States
to any definite policy except the general
policy that a means OF preventing war
by combined action OF free nations should
he found and sanctioned along lines TO
bo determined after exhaustive study
and mature consideration OF this admit
tedly stupend1us problem.
II does not affect the constitutional
rights Of tre Congress OF the United
States To declare war ana control the
operations Of the land and naval forces
OF the country.
IL does not seek 20 present 4 detailed
plan Of operation at this time, but leaves
all this 20 future consideration, which
will be separate and distinct from the
/ peace treaty l'salf.
The difficulties still unso,ved concern
! not the principle OF the league Of ma
| tions. but chiefly the means 70 be pro-
vdcd for guarantee against the funda-
mental Idea being abandoned and the
general plan OF getting the so-called
league on a sufficiently definite bssis 10

PARIS, Jan. S.-As the time for the
meeting Of the peace conference AZ
proaches the feeling is growing in many
circles that France is seriously handi-
capped by the dllapidated condition Of
her press. Many OF the ablest French
writer's on European questions are s,ill
mobilized or prevented by official duties
from enjoying the full freedom OF ac-
ton.
Paris newspapers are still subject to
restrictions. their paper supply being
reduced to enough for four pages for
daily papers and two pages for papers
appearing three times weekly, instead
of eight or ten pages daily as before
the war.
Tie censorship Is 70 some extent re-
Taxed. but st!ll impedes the flow Of In
formation that alone could enable the
public fully TO understand the issues Of
what must be In all essentials a peoples
peace. Indeed, Information on some I'M
portant topics Is often confined TO critics
which read carefully the Swiss, British
and even Italian newspapers
Consequently the demand is growing
strong that moment when Paris will
be for all intents and purposes the
capital Of the world the French press
may be IN n position 10 play a part
worthy Of France.

TIE HAGUE, Jan. s.--A traveller from
Berlin tells me that Dr. Karl Liebkrecht
and his Spartacan followers are endeav-
oring TO create economic chaos. This Is
one reason unemployment is 20 rife In
Berlin.
This traveller, who had business In
the Poteiarl Gas Works, said he had
visited that establishment three weeks
ago. He attended the works five days
ago when THOUSANDS OF Spartacans ar
rived. and despite the Government
troops with armed motor cars the Spar
tacan mob entered the works. stopped
the machinery and required the en-
pioyees. numbering $50. to cease work.
One hundred and nifty refused, as they
wished to earn a living. Thereupon
trouble ensued between the Spartacans
and these workers. resulting IN fifteen
wounded. After that the works closed.
The same proceeding Is being adopted
all over Berlin. Government troops are
wholly untrustworthy and always either
desert 10 the Spartacans or run away,
leaving the motor cars behind them.
