WILSON To OFFER PLAN
OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Paris, Jan. 21.-(By the Associated
Press The supreme council Of the
great powers hopes to formulate a con-
crete proposal on Russia at tomorrow {
meeting
This was the definite official an
nouncement of the communidue issued
tonight after the council had been con-
sidering the Russian situation contin-
uously for the last two days.
1t can be added that. while this con-
crete proposal was not finally decided
and reduced to writing, its main features
were agreed on in principle. The mem
bers came from the session, however,
feeling that there was no sovereign rem
edy insuring certain cure for the diff
cult and dangerous situation. and that
it would be desirable to embody several
lines of action in the proposal.
The first effect Of this proposal will
be that neither Sergius Sazonoff, the
Russian minister of foreign affairs be
fore the revolution, nor any soviet agents
will come to Paris as exponents of Rus
sian affairs, but that some form of in
quiry or investigation Of political condi-
tions IN Russia will be made without con
sidering tie presence in Paris Of the ad-
herents of either side of the question at
ISSUE
This determination is largely the re-
suit of a strong sentiment in some quar-
ters against having any direct dealings
with the bolsheyiki.
Russian ENJOYS Turned Down.
Early indications were that Premier
LLOYD Georges proposal to NJ. Pichon
the French foreign minister, would again
take the form in having soviet agents
come here and three names of prominent
leaders were mentioned as possible ennis
saries. But this is now said to be def
nitely superseded by plan of inquiry or
investigation. without involving the pres
erce Of soviet agents.
The Danish minister to Russia. Harold
Scavenius, made statement before the
executive session of the council, today.
on conditions in Russia, which also had
a strong influence in determining that
soviet representatives should not come
to Paris. He was the last Of the minis
ters to leave Petrograd. and today he
emphasized the futility of trying to con
duct any intercourse with the soviet

are concerned, the war ended the day the
armisticc was signed and that the awards
no longer were in effect.
In this connection the Worthingtoh

extent OF unemployment. and
that action must be taken Immediately IL
serious labor troubles are to be avoided.
He stated that two things must be done
by congress: First. that legislation pro-

a comparatively small number of the

Determined fight against the disease
is necessary TO keep it from making
greater inroads on the citizenship of
the State is the opinion of Miss
Blackburn, who told the conference
Saturday Of the plans which the state
tuberculosis Association has made Tor
next year along that line: To carry
out these plans will require a fund OF
at least S65, 1000, she said. The society
is depending upon the sale Of the
Christmas Seals to raise that fund.
Miss Blackburn says that every five
hours a life passes from tuberculosis.
For each life that passes four persons
infected with the disease are left oe-
hind. The disease is found among all
classes Of people. 1t is invading the
homes Of the rich and the poor alike.
1.-The sad part OF it, said Miss
Blackburn lis that so many are dying
from a disease which is preyentable
and which science has found is cur
able, if treated in time. The mem
ace of the disease is that so many peo-
pie have it for SO long a time before
they find it out and when they dlscov-
er that they have it, they are in the
last stages-too late for treatment to
save them.
Miss Blackburn said that the South
Carolina tuberculosis Association
hoped next year to put on an inten-
sive educational campaign. 1t wants
first to show the people Of the State
the menace Of the disease. It wants
to show them that it is preventable.
It wants to show them that it is cur
