TRYING TO SHAPE
COVENANT TO WIN
OVER DIRECTORS
Some of Suggested Amendments, Including Those
Safeguarding Monroe Doctrine, Can Safely
Be Made, 1t Is Conceded at Paris.

Paris, March 16.-(Ry the Associated
Press ).-Efforts are being directed to-
day to shaping the league of nations COW
cnant SO as to insure it's acceptance by
the supreme council and win the approval
of those Americans who are demanding
its amendment.
Colonel House conferred with Lord
Robert Cecil. Leon Bourgeois and the
American delegates and reported to
President Wilson. 1t is conceded that
some of the suggested amendments can
safely be adopted: for instance. those
safeguarding the Monroe doctrine and
fixing conditions which will permit ad-
herence Of the late enemy powers.
One Of the five powers had hesitated to
accept a distinct expression of the right
of secession from the league. The Ameri-
cans are proceeding on the supposition
that the covenant may be included in the
peace treaty.
Foreign Minister Pichon said today he
felt it was practically impossible to in
clude the covenant, in the first treaty.
The views of neutral countries, which
had been invited, and amendments could
not now be disposed of. he added, before
the probable early signing Of the prelm-
inariCs.
The issue. the minister suggested
might be met by declaration in the
treaty Of the principles underlying the
league. leaving the details in abeyalce.
The war would be ended when the pre-
liminaries were signed, he pointed out.
bit the Germans would not regain their
pre- war status with liberty of movement
until the signing of the final treaty, pend

only partially.
Regarding Posen. NJ. Pichon said if
the Germans had persisted in their rejec
ton of terms of the allied commission
ers, the entente would have to inter
vene. Poland could not be left in its

SIGN ORFICHT,
ALLIES WILL SAY
To HUN ENJOYS
German Delegates Must
Accept Terms or War
Will Continue.

Paris. March 16.-(By the Associated
Press The present determination in
peace conference circles is that after the
allied and associated powers have
reached complete understanding re-
gsrding the conditions to be imposed on
Germany, the German delegates will be
called to Versailles, but they will not be
allowed to discuss the conditions, the in
tention of allied and associated powers
being to dictate peace.
Either the German delegates must
accept the terms and sign, or state Of
war will continue. The general opinion
here is that, in view Of the internal sit
uation in Germany, the delegates Of that
country will accept rather than expose
the country to grarer risk and more
drastic measures.

Troops Begin to Move to
Strategic Points on
Trans-Siberian.

Vladiyostok, Friday, March 14.-(By
the Associated Press. American troops
have begun to move to strategic points
on the trans Siberian railway west OF
Vladivostok to aid John +. Stevens and
his staff of American railway men In the
technical operation of the railway. The
first contingent is already at Harbin,
while the second will entrain within a
few days for Chita, the farthest point
west to which the. Americans would be
sent.
1t is proposed to place additional de-
tachments at Nerkhni Udinsk, a Man
churian station, and Nikolsk. On the
Ussuri branch American troops already
are stationed at Spasske and khabar-
ovsk.
Czecho- Slovak troops are guarding the
line from Irkutsk to Tcheliabinsk. Jap
anese troops are in Siberia and also
are guarding the Chinese Eastern rail
way as far as lrkutsk.
No announcement has yet been made
of the zones which the various allies
will police. 1t is said to be a question
for the inter-allied committee in Siberia
among the allied representatives that
the Chinese should police at least half Of
the Chinese Eastern. While there have
been some rumors of secret opposition
to the allied plan. all appearances are
that the nations are working in complete
harmony.
Mr. Stevens plan for operating the
trans Siberian road contemplates a divi-
sion of the line into four sections under
the supervision of general Inspector.
The sections in turn will be bdivided
into districts, each district comprising
several divisions under corresponding
sub-inspectors and superintendents.
Until the allied technical appointees
are familiar with American methods,
only Americans will be employed as in
spectors. the others acting as assistants.
Mr.. Stevens proposes at the earliest
possible moment to inaugurate an ex-
press service to Omsk. The schedule
was prepared some time ago.
Colonel George II. Emerson of st.
Paul. Minnesota, former general mana
ger of the Great Northern railway, who
will be the first assistant to Mr.. Stevens
as general inspector, already is on his
way to Harbin. organizing the first
corps of operatives to take over the
Chinese Eastern railway.
