BRITISH CLAIMS.

Great Britain's delegation believes
that society of nations is desirable
and attainable and that it must be
established by the present peace con-
ference. She advocates no continental
purposes other than those of q per-
manent and just peace under the prin-
ciple of self-determination and that
there shall be international freedom of
transit by railroads and waterways,
which is Great Britain's general def
milton OF freedom of commerce in
times of peace.
Great Britain will take mandatory
power over the German islands south
of the equator for Australia and over
German Southwest Africa for the
Union of South Africa. She will also
have the mandate over German East
Africa and some parts Of Arabia, and
she has particular claims in this re-
spect over Mcsopotamia.
Great Britain will enter pool with
ths other allies in the matter of in
IDENTITIES, especially reparation for air
raid damages and shipping losses.

FRENCH CLAIMS.

France wants, first Of all, Alsace-Lor-
raine Internationally, and the right to
discuss and ultimately to fix the French
frontiers In their relation to the Rhine,
which may require the creation Of buff
fer states. One Of these would be the
Palatinate and another Rhenish Prus-
sia. France desires also to annex the
basin of the Sarre river, which might
be called remuneration.
France will insist that so far as the
left bank of the Rhine farther to the
north is concerned, the conference
should forbid military works Of any
kind-barracks, bridgeheads, forts and
foruesses- that zone. The feeling
is that the people inhabiting that zone
should be free to decide for them
selves whether they wish to join
France, form an Independent state, or
return to Germany.
The French bill for reparation is not
complete, but it has been announced in
the chamber Of deputies that it will
be about 66,OOO,OOO,OO0 francs ($13.-
2OO,OOOOOO).
The French government does not
ask for protectorate In Syria in the
ordinary sense because 1t considers
that the population there Is too adj
vanced TO make protectorate neces-
sary, but France, on account of her
traditional interests In that country,
feels that she should be called upon to
exercise some sort Of guardianship or
guidance until Syria should be fully
able to govern herself.

Thirty alleged Socialist and !. w.

In San Francisco, Tusoon, e Paso,
San Antonio and Dallas.
Washington. Feb. 12.-Between 1000
and 5000 aliens will be deported from
the United States as rapidly as they
can be rounded up and put on ships,
it was stated at the bureau of immi-
grafton. Many of these are anar-
chists.
Commissioner of immigration Can't
netti said he had arrested large mum.
bers Of persons during the war and
held them in the various stations of
the bureau because of his inability
to deport them to countries at war,
or for lack of transportation. This has
resulted in an accumulation of undesir.
able aliens.
Room for 1000 on Island.
Ellis island accommodates 1000 peo-
pie and most of the space will be &C.
cupied by men and women ready for
deportation. ~
John Lord O'Brien, special assistant
attorney general, in charge of the en-
forcemeEt of the espionage and other
war acts, declared that where aliens
ordered deported resist and go to court
his department will represent the De-
partment of Labor. He explained that
the federal laws do not extend to most
OF the disorder caused by Americans
of Bolshevii tendencies. STATE authori-
ties have to deal with them. Under
the immigration act, he declared, it is
possible to rid the country of all alien
anarchists.
Roundup on for Months.
Commissioner Caminetti has been at
work for months taking into custody
people who rightfully belong in other
countries.
"One of the subjects that gave the
officials of the immigration bureau
great concern during the last two
years was that relating to the activity
of alien anarchists and persons of affil-
lated organizations which. while they
are not avowedly anarchistic, spread
the propaganda of destruction of prop
erty and the upsetting of the general
doctrines of government" said Mr..
Caminetti, in report to Secretary
Wilson on the problem af aliens in the
United States. Much evidence has
come into the hands Of the govern
ment agents as to the pernicious and
dangerous activities of this class of
persons"

Ukraine Accepts Invitation,

Paris, Feb. 12.-The Ukrainian So

it is willing to accept the invitation
of the Allies to the proposed confer

the Temps, but it considers the date
fixed, Feb. Is, too near at hand. The
government also expresses prefer
ence for holding the conference at
Paris instead of on the Princess
Islands. The anti-Bolshevist govern
ments of Russia are apparently firm in
declining to participate in the Princes
Islands conference.

Pichon said that the conference had
not considered what steps would be
taken.
The news from the Archangel sec
ton was not sufficiently definite as yet
to justify any conclusion. Undoubted-
~, he added. the bolsheviki had
stronger forces there now than they
had before; so it had been considered
safer to bring the allied troops closer
together. Pichon held that the armis-
tice authorized the entente govern
ments to stop hostilities between Po-
land and Germany.
