Judging from the countless prepara-

veloping arms. neck and bust, and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines Of health and beauty,

Will Allow Time.

II is not expected that immediate
binding action will be taken but that
an interval will elapse wherein neutrals,
through their regular diplomatic chan
nels or special consulting commissions,
will have an opportunity of being heard,
perhaps suggesting revisions and
changes.
In other words, full chance will be
given to submit the plan to public
opinion before final vote or adherence
Of all nations, though it goes without
saying that If the peoples of Great Brit
ain. France, Italy, Japan and America
approve of the action of their represent
atives it will form the basis for a league
to which most other nations will be
found willing to express adherence and
seek membership.
1t may that Mr.. Wilson will find it
wise to make a transcontinental tour
TO crystalline American opinion behind
the plan as published, explaining the
working features or a~sCertaining the
extent to which public sentiment would
like notifications.
For instance, the British have been
urging that America as the exponent
of the league Of nations ought to be
ready to undertake her full share Of
the responsibilities Of preserving a world
peace. Accordingly it is suggested that

eastern Africa over which the United
States will exercise a p~rotectorate.
1t is ever urged by many prominent
European delegates. who believe Con-
stantinople should he lnternationalized,
that America should undertake the SUI
pervision of such a task. A large doubt
exists in the minds Of the American
delegates to how far the American neo-
pie will be willing to go unless abso-
lutely convinced that it is necessary
to preserve the peace of the world.

Only Informal.

Nothing formal or even official at
all concerning this subject has been
said, but simply the most informal kind
of exchange of views, nevertheless it
indicates how anxious European coun-
tries are that America, which did not
suffer heavily because of its first two
years of neutrality, should assume at
least a portion of the debt. While too
early to form any idea what the Amer
lean delegation would say if a proposal
of such a nature was formally made,
nevertheless early conversations would
indicate the idea is not in favor. 1t is
especially deemed unwise to have any
discussion on the subject at this time,
though there is nothing yet to show
whether the allied statesmen who are
behind the project are willing to let
II drop.
Whatever hopes or enthusiasm may
be derived hereafter from the plan of
the league of nations, it becomes obvi-
u daily hat the first practical test
as to whether the big powers can make
any league effective is their solution
of the Russian situation. The problem
is made acute by the fact that there
are many factions inside Russia clam
oring for representation at the peace
conference, and also the circumstance
resulting from the economic and po-
litiCal chaos, All available informa-
ton Of an official character emphasizes

not as an act of %Coudoning BolsheUist
terrorism, but to get some central au-
thority with which to deal effectively,
means naturally deep antagonism Of
the nti-Bolshevist factions which are
struggling to overthrow the soviet.
TIL leaders of the armies fighting
the soviets are appealing for arms and
ammunition, not allied forces, as~neces-
sary, but this policy is beset with many
dangers, too, because of the ease with
which the cry of Intervention can be
raised as means of ~antagonizing people
against the allies.
The official word here is that the
peace conference is rapidly approaching
an agreement on its policy. II seems
most likely that an appeal will be made
to all the factions to bring about an
international agreement. Delegates
representing respective factions may he

Although no formal proposal has been
made, nevertheless several feelerS have
been put out in the direction of Presl-
dent Wilson by French officials looking
to American assent to the idea Of di-
Viding the cost of this war equally
among the United States, Great Britain
and France and a proportiOnate share
to Italy and the rest. In other words,
irrespective of the damage done by
Germany, which will be embodied in a
large indemnity, an effort is being
made TO distribute the cost of the war
preparations among the allies.
1t has been suggested to Mr.. VIII
son that America ought to pay her
share, including the cost during the
period from the opening of the Eure-
pean war itself and prior to our own
participation. This means in effect that
America would be obliged to cancel
much Of the war debt which the allies
owe her. because much of the money
was spent in war preparations in the
form Of credits by the American gov
eminent for purchase in the United
States of food and materials.
The president is said to have made
it quite informally understood that he
believed the main business of the
principals just now was to make peace
with the enemy, and "A commission
might properly be selected by all the
nations after peace is settled, which
would inquire into the cost of the war
and decide how the cost should be
borne.
