ALLIES HAVE NEW
PLAN FOR RUSSIANS
Tardieu Says Prinkipo Pafiey
Is 0ff-White and Col.
House Confer.
FRENCH FAVOR ARMED AID

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 2s.-There is no
longer any question of going on with
the Prinkipo conference, Andre Tar
dieu, one of the French delegates to
the peace conference, informed for
eign newspaper correspondents today.
He said the bolsheviki had failed to
comply with the conditions laid down
by the entente as to a suspension OF
hostilities, and that the allies have in
view new methods of restoring order
in Russia and are examining available
means TO carry out this purpose.
White and House Confer.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOwRER.
Cableeram to The Evening star apo
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1914
PARIS, February 2s.-William Ale
len White held long conference with
Col. Edward NJ. House last evening
regarding the Russian situation.
There has been little change since
last week, but fresh decision is now
thought imminent. The French goN-
ernment is still strongly reluctant to
issue new invitation to the Russian
factions to meet somewhere and talk
things over 1t believes that the true
course is to support the anti-bolshe-
visit factions with munitions. supplies
and a corps of volunteer officers ana
technical men.
The American and British delegA-
tions are equally firm in their deter
mination to hold some sort of abSo-
lutely public conversation with the
bolsheviki, whers the views of every
one can be thoroughly thrashed out
It is asserted that British and
American public opinion will not sup
port any other procedure save, per-.
haps. a laissez faire policy. which all
the allied governments agree would
be the worst possible solution.
United States Delegates View.
The American delegates believe that
the Germans desire is, possibly. to
prevent an understanding between the
Russians and the allies, so that they
themselves can obtain sort of moral
and economic hold over Russia after
peace is signed.
This, say the Americans, is still an
other reason for adhering to tho
Prinkipo idea s..s.,,sS

Statements by Committee Members

Several members of the committee
said after the conference that Presi-
dent Wilson when pressed about the
Irish question had made a statement
to the same general effect as the one
row denied. The subject came up On
the floor of the Senate today when
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska.
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, was attacking report
of the conference published by the
New York Sun.
In denying the Suns report, Nh
Hitchcock said the President was
questioned about ireland. but that the
question was not a serious one and
was not answered.
Senator Williams of Mississippi, who
also attended the dinner. interrupted
to correct the Nebraska senator, how
ever, and said the President had said
the league of nations had nothing to
do with the Irish or immigration ques-
ton.
Does the senator mean to infer that
the league has nothing to do with it
and that the matter is one which must
necessarily be settled between Ireland
and Great Britain" asked Senator
Borah of Idaho.
The senator can draw his own con-
clusions,' replied Senator Hitchcock.

sion. Speaking in the Senate, the re-
publican floor leader declared his con-
victian that instead of safeguarding
the peace of the world, the league as
Row planned would engender misun-
derstandings and strife.
Crowds Greet Senator.

Intolerance Toward Amendment.

There will be intolerance toward
amendment when once the treaty is
signed by the .plenipotentiaries So
the discussion in Congress can only,
help President Wilson in, giving an
opportunity to explain doubts and
antiquities not only this week, but
when he gets back to France and de-
tails of the league are worked out.

Situation Unchanged.

In the sense that Congress must patri-
oticaliy accept the recommendation of
the executive in such a case as a moral
obligation, the situation is no different
than it has been heretofore whenever
