Agreement Has Been Made to
COnfine Information to
Daily Communique.
NEWSPAPER MEN PROTEST
Mild Cyclone is Under WAY
and Possibility is That Matter
Will Come Up Again Before
Saturday.

Paris, Jan. 16.-The question of
whether the peace conference is to
be secret or wholly open to the eyes
and ears of the world, the settlement
OF which has been long awaited was
brought to focus yesterday when IL
been made to confine the information
given to the public to a daily official
communique and that a gentlemans g
agreement prevailed among the dele
gates not to discuss or in any way
give information Of the meetings in
the foreign Office.
No written official announcement
OF this purpose was issued, but word
was passed out to this effect, and it
was followed by an explosion Of pro-
tests which quite drowned out the
doings OF the peace commissioners.
The understanding is that tn
American and British delegates on
posed this decision. but that the
French, Italian and Japanese, voting
together, prevailed.
The British newspaper CORES
pondents Immediately Joined in a
memorial of protest, which they put
before Premier Lloyd George. The
American newspaper correspondents
united in what is virtually a round
robin to President Wilson, in which
they protested in measured term
against the decision, and reminded
the President that one of his /
points which specifies "open cove
nants OF peace openly arrived at"
The memorial was before the
President last night. and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that such
storm has been raised as will force
the question before the meeting
again before the actual session CT
the peace conference begins Satuu
day
The question OF whether the meet
tngs are to be open or closed has
heen smculdering here for several
days. 1t is associated with condi-
tons which have surrounded the
lack OF method in making publ
what has actually been going on in
conference for the past month. The
American newspaper correspondents.
Of whom there are about 100 here
to report the peace proceedings. have
been received in daily audience by
the American commissioners unde
the stipulated conditions that what
was developed was. solely for their
guidance and not to be reported as
bearing the stamp of authority O
coming from the mission.
The President himself has rarely
seen ally OF the American CORES
pondents and the newspaper mel
who have expressed themselves, at
meetings OF the organization they
have formed. as considering them
selves trustees obligated to inform
public opinion at home OF the moves
which are being made here in Paris
have been chafing at what they have
characterized as being kept out OF
touch with the fountainheads OF Of
hcfal information. having been con-
fined to information disseminated by
an official publicity agent.
Meanwhile the French newspa-
pers and the British newspapers
having Paris editions have been ap-
pearing each day with inside infor-
nation Of the conferences and in
some cases have actually quoted
American officials in a manner from
which the American correspondents
were requested. to refrain.

TOURNEY SUCCESSFUL
Shouldn't Neglect Puts,
Is Jack Croke's Aduice

Jack Croke, the Exmoor profess
sional, contributes his ideas on put
ting to his golf magazine as follows:
THE attitude of the average
golfer toward the practice of putting
is. Venture to say, one of the worst
and most irrational features of the
whole scheme of golf learning. Take
any afternoon during the season and
you will see several players at the
some time practicing all conceivable
distances with their drivers, bras
sizes and irons, but totally ignoring
the putter. They seldom consider
their putting when it comes to prac-
tice. / cannot understand why other
departments of the game should re-
ceive hours of attention during the
season while putting is compare
lively neglected.
