FRANCE GETS THE COAL
rWo BIG OBSTACLES HAVE BEEN
AGREED UPON BY COUNCIL
WILL HAVE SUPERVISION OVER
VALLEY OF SAAR FOR IN
DUSTRY PURPOSES.

Paris, April 1O.-The council of four
has reported an agreement on the Saar
valley. The agreement leaves SOW
ereignty over the valley unchanged
but accords to France free of duty
sufficient coal for the Lorraine iron
Industry and to replace the produc-
ton of the mines destroyed In the
Lens mining district, with the privi-
iege to the Germans of restoring the
Lens mines.
Paris.-Tbe text of the reparation
clause as finally approved by the
council of four specified that enemy
countries must admit responsibility
for all loss and damage to allied and
associated nations and their citizens
due to unjustifiable aggression. The
responsibility of the German emperor
for the war and the means for bring
ing him to trial by one of the allied
governments, probably Belgium, have
been definitely determined upon by
the council of four.
This follows the definite decision
on the terms of reparation for war
be paid within the next two yeaEs
and an inter-allied commission assess
the remaining damage for n period of
thirty years beginning May l, 1921.
Thus, two of the great obstacles
which stood in the path of the rapid
attainment of peace have been re-
moved within the last twenty-four
hours.
Germany is to pay the entire cost of
the commission and staff during the
thirty years of operations. The first
payment is to be credited against Ger
many's obligation to pay for the main
tenanee of the allied troops in the oc-
cupied regions, and the second pri-
ority. is for the payment of food relief
furnished to Germany.
Ignace Jan Paderewski, the Polish
premier, was summoned before the
council of four today to present the
claims of Poland. The premier will
urge that Danzlg must be given to
Poland and that Poland must have
the coal fields of Teschen, Silesia,
Belgium, on which the war fell first
and heaviest, is reported to have taken
view much similar to that of the
United States. while Japan and Italy
were partially in accord with the
American view. II was owing to these
divergent viewpoints that the council
devised a new plan, whereby one of
the allied nations, probably Belgium,
would initiate prosecution against the
former emperor and others responsible
for the breach of treaties, the inva-
sion of territory and the destruction
directed against this country and lead
ing to a more general spread of the
war. The exact nature of the agree
ment Is not disclosed, but the fore
going is believed to cover the main
lines.

manding a peace treaty correspond
ing with President Wilson's fourteen
points and declaring that "a peace or

tions of state, which increassn daily
owing to the postponement of peace,

tions Commission has completed its
consideration of the league covenant.
No sections were inc.dded granting
the japanese and French demands, but
Japan and France announced that
they would reserve the right to bring
up the desired amendments before the
plenary session of the peace confer
ence.
Parls.-The indications are that Da-
vid Lloyd George, the British prime
minister, will not leave for London
until it Is determined on what date
the German delegates will be asked to
come to Versailles. An American del
egate, asked for the nearest estimate
as to this date, put it between April
26 and May l.
Paris.-The peace conference has
reached an agreement on all ques-
tions concerning peace with Germany,
reparations, indemnities and the from
tiers of the Rhine and Poland. The
German delegates will be summoned
to Versailles within two or three
weeks. The British premier, his secre-
tory is quoted as saying, thinks that
if the allies agree as well at present
as during the war the achievements
of. the peace conference will be last
ing and numerous dangers, including
Bolshevism, will be abolished
The Paris dispatch contains the
first report that the important ques-
tions of the Rhine and Polish from
tiers had been settled by the pesce
conference. Agreement on reparations
and indemnitles was announced earlier
in the week.
The Rhine question includes the
future not only of the river itself, but
also of the German territory west of
of the Rhine from Lorraine north to
the border of Holland. 1t also af-
fects the eastern bank of the Rhine
and its use for military purposes.
The Polish frontiers affect all the
countries bordering on the new Po-
Land and the proposal to give Poland

Paris. - Geneva, Switzerland, has
been chosen as the seat of the League
of Nations, according to announcement
here
Paris--The League of Nations com
mission adopted a new section to the
covenant, specifically providing that
the Monroe doctrine is not TO be af-
fected by the provisions of the cove
nant. The Monroe doctrine amend
ment was prepared by Col. Edward NJ.
House. Provision that the League of
Nations shall exercise general super
vision of the Saar, valley for a period
of fifteen years was contained In the
settlement of the Saar problem affect
ed by the council of four.
France Is given economic control of
the coal fields of the Saar valley up
to an amount to recompense her for
the losses sustained from German oc-
cupation of the coal fields of northern
France.
Indications are that there -,may he
interpretations concerning the secrecy
with which the big four is surrounding
itself, and rumors are heard that ne
gotiations may open with the Germans
without fully advising all the peace
delegations of the terms of the treaty.
The council of four is strongly opposed
to official publication of the peace
treaty before its submission to the
Germans 1t maintains that it is al
lowing positive decisions to be an
nounced, and that consequently the
public will be advised on all the main
points before the treaty is signed.

Paris, April 11.-At the meeting of
the commission on a League of Ma
tions, ten sections of the covenant
were considered and passed. The Jap
anese amendment was not reached,
and the actual text of the section ex-
empting the Monroe doctrine from the
provisions of the covenant of the
League of Nations is not yet available.
American commissioners stated, how
ever, that the doctrine was definitely
named in the provision guaranteeing
that it will not be affected by the
terms in the covenant. The adoption
of the section exemptlng the Monroe
doctrine was the only real exemption
made during the meeting. President
Wilson offered the amendment and
made plea for it, saying that he be
lieved the doctrine was protected un-
der the terms of the covenant as they
stood, but because of the demands for
specific exemption, he felt it impera-
tive that the amendment should be
added. There was some adverse argu-
ment, but the amendment was adopted
without prolonged opposition.
