CLAIM

PARIS. March 17.-Foreign Mn.
lister Pichon's claim that the leaguo
of nations will not be included In the
preliminary peace treaty was en-
phatically denied today in American
official circles.
President Wilson and the other
American commissioners are stand.
ing pat on its inclusion. IL was stat.
ed. Surprise was expressed that
Pichon should hold views to the con-
trary.
Pichon, who made his statement
yesterday In his weekly conversation
with correspondents. declared that al
tho fundamental principles OF the.
final peace are laid down in the prc-
liminary treaty. the league OF m.
tions probably win not be includpd.
He said that Wilson had not asked
that IL be included. The question u

much as neutral countries will ~

garding the league before final adop-
ton of the covenant. he believed tho

fore the league Is completed
The preliminary peace. according
to Pichon. will end the state OF war
but win not permit Germany to n
sumo fun relations with other cuun-
tries. The blockade viii not be ltfte0
completely before the final treaty.
He said the question of German
Austria has not been taken up, hut
that the allies may offer certain ad-
vantages to that country II It r.
mains independent. which will not b
allowed II 1t persists in uniting With
Germany.
The president. 1t Is known. intends
TO make a strong fight for inclusion
of the league. He feels that France
and Great Britain need the League
even more than America. Hence.
Pichon's statement astounded ana
somewhat piqued the Americana.
