Treatment by League Gives
Greater Independence to
Advanced Races.
SUPERVISION VERY LIGHT
IN PALESTINE AND SYRIA
Large Powers Required Over Such
Places as Central Africa
Council Agrees.

PARIS, February l.-The accord
reached by the council of the great
powers concerning the disposal OF the
German colonies and occupied regions
in Turkey in Asia is much more deh-
mite than is generally supposed, and,
besides acceptance in principle of the
American plan of mandatories, it en-
braces the following main features:
The allied and associated powers are
agreed that the German colonies shall
not be returned to Germany, owing,
first. to mismanagement, cruelty and
the use of these colonies as submarine
bases.
Regions to Be Detached.
The conquered regions of Armenia,
SYRIA. Mesopotamia. Palestine and
Arabia shall be detached from the
Turkish empire.
Provision is made whereby the we'll
being and development of backward
colonial regions are regarded as the
sacred trust of civilization. over which
the league of nations exercises super
visory care. The administrator OF
tutelage of these regions is intrusted
to the more advanced nations, VINO
will act as mandatories in behalf OF
the league of nations.
These mandatories are not uniform,
but vary according to the degree OF
development of the colonial region
and its approach to the stage of self
government. The mandates in Pales-
tine, Syria and other portions of
Turkey. where well developed civil
ization exists, would be comparative
1y light and would probably permte
: of the provisional recognition Of the
Independence of these communities.
On the other hand, colonies like
those in Central Africa would requirs
. mandatory with large powers of Cd
ministration as responsible for the
suppression of the slave trade. the
liquor traffic, ammunition apd arms
traffic and the prevention Of military
authority on the part of the natives
except for native police purposes.
Scattered Populations.
Other colonies and localities, such
as those in GermanTSouthwest Africa
and some of the Ssuth Pacific islands
have such sparse and scattered popu-
lations and are so separated from
other COMMUNITIES that the laws OF
the mandatory country would prob
ably prevail in these regions.
The mandatories will report at
stated intervals to the league of ma
tions concerning the manner in which
a colony is being administered.
The foregoing general outline in
dicates on broad lines the terms
whereby, it is declared, conflicting
views were finally reconciIed and a
common agreement was reached ac-
ceptable to all the great and colonial
powers.
The peace conference committee is
understood to have agreed that the
present migration laws of Australia
should obtain in New Guinea One oil
the main claims of Australia for the
outright annexation of this terri
tory was that under International
zation she would be unable to MAIN
tain her present laws, which provide
for exclusion in certain cases. The
conferees decided, it is stated, that
Australia would have the right TO
say what immigration was desirable.

ARMY LISTS SHOW
10000 AS MISSING
Many Yanks Unaccounted
For Expected to Go On
Roll of Honor.
DEATHS ABOVE ESTIMATES

OHIc1al taDieS OF the MAJOR Dattie
casualties of the American forces in
France, made public yesterday by Gen.
March, chief of staff, show that. ap-
10000 men remain wholly
for nearly three months
after the ending of hostilities.
The deaths, missing and known
prisoners are tabulated up to January
10 for each of the thirty combatant
divisions of Gen. Pershing's army. The
total is 56,5s2. of whom 17,434 are
classified as missing or captured. An
appended statement shows that only
twenty-nine American military pris-
oners were believed to be stin in Ger
many on January 8, and that 4,s00
prisoners had been checked up as re-
turned and 11s died in captivity.
Some portion of the great body of
missing men may be located as the
return of the Army thins out the
American force in France. Indications
are, however. that the majority of the
10000 finally will be added to the roll
of honor shown in the tables of those
killed or died of wounds, now record
ed as 39,15s men.
Marines Not Included. Z
To that figure also must be added
1,551 men of the Marine Brigade. fig
ures for which, not carried in the
tables were obtained from official
sources. This brings the grand ag-
gregate of deaths from battle up to
40,709 on returns estimated officially
to be s5 per cent complete. AS fg-
ures on missing and prisoners of the
marines are lacking, the number of
unaccounted for which finally will be
added to the roll of the dead cannot
be accurately estimated.
The Army tables, however. give a
total of 1869 men missing in action
and 2.7S5 known prisoners making up
the 17,437 missing or captured An
statement shows that the
Army rolls record 4,91S American
military prisoners accounted for. Ad-
there are many possibilities
of error but the statement says it is
anticipated that the indicated unac-
counted for list sof es51S will be
brought s.down to less than 10000"
The tables do not furnish any data
as to the wounded or deaths other
than those resulting directly from
battle. A new estimate Of the CON-
plete figures on American casualties
is therefore not possible. 1t is sig
niffeant, however. that up to last
night the War Department had pub
lished the names of 43,ss2 men killed
or died OF wounds, as against 39,15S
shown in the s5 per cent tables The
difference is made up by additional
since the tables were closed.
On November 81 Gen. Pershing esti-
mated that his total killed and died
of wounds would be 4o,455. Presum-
ably publication of the lists of these
known deaths and exclusive of the
for is nearly completed,
having exceeded the estimate by more
than 5000. This was due in part to
deaths from wounds and to
the listing as dead of men formerly
reported missing.
The names of 149,4lS wounded had
pared with November estimated
total of 1885. OF those missing in
action, 1855 have been published
against the estimated 1920 total. and
prisoners shown in yesterdays tables.

PARIS, February Leon Bourgeois,
the French delegate on the Society
of Nations, today presented to Presi-
dent Wilson. Premier Clemenceau,
Prmir Lloyd George and Premier
Orlando the text of the proposal for
the formation of the league as agreed
upon by the international organiza-
tion, embracing the American. of
which William Howard Taft is presi-
dent: the British, of which Viscount
Grey is president; the Italian. French
and other associations.
NJ. Clemenceau had previously asked
NJ, Bourgeois to secure an agreement
on the '6etails among the advocates
of the project in all countries, iand
the plan presented today was in
response to this request
1t provides for compulsory arbitra-
ton in all disputes without excep-
ton; the limitation of armaments
and series of penalties against ma
tions provoking war. and detailed
provision is made for the organiza-
tion of a society of nations, to which
all countries giving guarantees OF
loyal intentions are admitted
Text of the Provisions.
The text of the provisions follows:
"Firstly-To submit all disputes
arising between themselves to meth
DDS of peaceful settlement
"Secondly-To prevent or suppress
Jointly by the use of all means at tEeir
disposal any attempt by any state to
disturb the peace of the world by
acts of war.
"Thirdly-To establish an interna-
tional court of justice charged with
the duty of deciding all justiciable
disputes and to insure the executian
of it's decisions by all appropriate
international sanctions - diplomatic,
juridic, economic, and, if necessary,
military"

Have Right to Appeal.

Under the mandatory arrange EN- ent
the natives have the right to appeal
to the league of nations Meanwhile
their rights-and that is one diff
ference between mandate and i'm
perialism-will be safeguarded and
secured. Fundamentally, the man
date is the same in each case, but
differs in details. according TO the
condition of the colony.
The way has now been paved for
an approach to the league of nations
With the colonies disposed of. one
of the greatest obstacles to agree
ment has been removed. 1t is clearly
apparent that the members of the
big five intend to conduct negotia-
tionS in the spirit of compromise
They can do nothing else and reach
settlement within a reasonable time.
Mr.. Wilson has found it necessary
to modify his views. So have Glenn
enceau, Lloyd George and Orlando.
the Am erican President and the Brit
ish premier for a question like the
freedom of the seas to cause a hitch
in reaching general agreement on
the league of nations scheme. Lloyd
George settled his labor difficulties
during the war by compromising
with the unions, but he attained his
object-materials for victory. And
he has not changed his tactics.

to rioting.
The ship repairers on the Thames
side. who have been out during the
week without strike pay. now have
been promised fifteen shillings a man
weekly by their unions. Therefore the
possibility of shortness of funds
ending the strike has disappeared.
Look to Rest Of Ireland.
The Belfast strike committee, hay-
ing virtually tied up the city. is turn
ing its attention to attempts to extend
the strike to the rest of Ireland, while
the example of Glasgow is being fol-
lowed by the shipyard workers on the
northeast coast and along the Bristol
channel. They are demanding a forty
hour week.
The meeting of the representatives
of twenty-four trades unions which
was originally called to meet at Lon
don to discuss the working of a forty
seven-hour week now will be occupied in
debating whether a demand for a forty
hour week shall be made.
The administration of Belfast from
Artisans Hall by self-constituted
rulers continues, the organization of
a police force of 800 special con-
stables by the strike committee hav-
ing been effected. This force is CO.

MARKETING IN ITALY
Housewives There Must Hunt
Through Town for Food.
Job Requires Seven Hours Of Each
Day and Supplies Are Very
Scanty.

Rome.-Seven hours Of each day Of
the Italian housekeeper must be de-
voted to buying food. The problems
Of the ordinary American ~housekeep-
err pale into insigniicance even with
their troublesome servants when COM
pared to the Italian. Domestic serv-
ants strikes in Italy are chronic.
The recent upheaval in Italian eco
nomics when the government ordered
prices of foodstuffs and clothing re-
duced 80 per cent has begun Its re-
action, and the factor affected most
is the housekeeper. She must start
to market at sever o'clock In the morn

store to another. To obtain a piece
Of meat usually takes two hours. To
obtain bread about an hour, eggs
two hours, vegetables, n hour and a
half and canned goods about an hour.
The housekeeper's day starts by
| placing herself at the back Of a long
line of waiting customers. The line
| sometimes extends for a half block,
guarded by armed carabineers. When
the buyer is permitted to enter the
store she finds inside a scramble for
all sorts of commodities. Guards are
stationed there to prevent any mis-
chief. If she obtains what she wants
she is lucky.
She treads e. the streets a whole
morning, searching for the things for
lunch and then In the afternoon must
start on the hunt again for food. II
| she is looking for butter she is usually
thankful to go away with a can OF

1t often happens that her family
must miss a meal, but that is usually

cry hand.
