FRENCH ASK WILSON
TO SEE WARS SCARS
Fear Leniency Unless Deuas-
tofion Is Noted.
Special cable Despatch TO TIM srv

Copyright 1919; all rights reserved.
PARIS, Jan. 16.-President Wilson has
hurt the feelings OF many French men
and women by again postponing his visit
TO the devastated regions The French
take 1t as another indication that he IL
inclined to be too lenient with the Ger
mans.
French public opinion expected that
one of the first things the President
would do would be to visit such places
as Rheims, Arras. Lens and Scissors. or
at Leaf the bsttlefelds at Chateau Thierry
and the Argonne, where thousands OF
American lads gave up their lives for the
perpetuation of the principles he has SO
frequently enuncia.ed.
The French thought that by visiting
these places he could get an exact Idea
OF the terrible scars the German made
war left on the body OF France. They
believed that after he had seen these
things he couldn't fail to better under
stand the bitterness OF France against
an agreSsor who couldn't reach the
United States because OF the Atlantic
Ocean.
The French now believe that President
Wilson is postpontng this visit because
lie is afraid his sympa thies would be SO
aroused he couldn't pass some OF his
present policies, or, X his sympathies
were not aroused, he still couldn't hold
out so strongly against the French de-
sire to punish the Germans.
The reason for the postponement in
that the President fears that II he
leaves Fsris the wheels of the peace
conference. now turning more swiftly
than ever before. would slacken again
and that he would return TO hnd more
OF the delays that have 80 irritated him
N the past.

principles, repeating the wording Of
the first Of the fourteen points. They
are taking the view that President
Wilson is yielding already to old
world statesmen.
The project of sending commits
sion to Russia Immediately Is now
certain If the British and American
delegates have their way. THE SCN
is able to state that President Wilson
and Lloyd George reached an agree
ment I'm this matter at their last con-
ference here and that they are in COM
plete accord on the whole Russian
policy.
To ne Largely Civilian.
The commission plan was placed
before Col. House by Lord North
clfe. and Col. House Immediately OBJ
timed the Presidents approval. The
plan calls for what would virtually
he an interallied commission, author
lied by the Supreme War Council
and made up largely Of civilians.
The idea is for the commission to
make a quick trip to Russia and to
report on conditions there and upon
the possibility of admitting represen-
tatives Of the Soviet Government to
the peace conference. President W.T.
son is believed to stand with Lloyd
George in this plan. but it has not
been possible TO confirm this.

conference is held up by the Russia n
situation, and President Wilson Is
apparently taking the view that grant
Ing the request Of the Soivets might
improve the situation, or that, to grant
the request would not make mat
ters any worse. The whole question
Is provoking great discussion in the
French press.
The Socialists complain bitterly
against the treatment accorded Bel
GUM and Serbia In restricting them
to two delegates each. The Govern
ment organs. on the other hand. ask
II the small nations are to be allowed
to pass on the boundaries Of France
and on other questions vital to her,
with a voice equal to the larger
Powers. These newspapers point out
that theoretically each nation has but
one vote.
The outstanding development of
this phase unquestionably is the de-
cision to admit the British dominions
virtually as independent nations. The
Americans are hailing this as a great
step forward in world politics, as
these nations stand for liberalism
and have largely the same viewpoint
internationally as America and Eng
land. The British Tories were
against the plan. which on all sides
is recognized to-day as fraught with
immense consequences to the British
Empire, to America and the world.
