RESPECT INSPIRED
BY COUNCIL OF TEN
Controlling Body at Peace
ParIey Comprises Biggest
Minds of Allied World.
DEALS WITH ALL CREEDS
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

PARIS, March 1.-THE word "coun-
cil' has played an important part in
the history of the nations of Europe.
Through the ages there invariably has
been some council whose deliberations
and decisions affected millions of peo-
pie, and oftentimes, it must be said,
adversely. In the earliest days of the
which was ruthless in dealing with
the interests of the people. In Russia,
in France, even in England, history
books are filled with references to
bodies of men whose DEGREES have
had far-reaching effect in shaping
the currents of life Somehow or other
the word council" has an ominous
meaning in the mind of the average
European. 1t suggests, first of all, Sc
crecy; it suggests interfering with
the fates of others who are only to
know of arbitrary decisions reached,
and, furthermore. it foreshadows grave
punishments for those who dare dis
obey its dictates.
Somehow it seemed fitting, in the
European mind, that in the delibera-
tions leading to the signing of peace
with Germany there should be
council. And there is a council-one
of ten. But rather than inspire ill con-
fidence in its works. or distrust in its
it's earnestness in perpetuating the
best interests of the people, this coun-
Gil of ten in Paris has inspired re-
spect. created belief in its integrity
and already has shown an honest de-
sire to perpetuate-nots selfish inter-
ests of governmental cliQues-but
lofty ideals of all people, no matter of
what nationality. race or creed.

Council Members Impress.

There is something impressive about
the demeanor of the members of the
big ten. They may greet the IN
conner with effusions or tney may
proceed with such cold businesslike
silence that perfervid oratory seems
lame and thrilling national claims De-
come unconvincing.
AS one delegate from one OF the
smaller powers put 1t:
'T really had an excellent speech
courage by irrefutable. figures. had
looked forward to this moment as the
crowning one Of my life. I intended
to sway those men as they had not
been swayed by any other. President
Wilson seemingly went to sleep. put
gan to translate my words into En-,
elisf: Premier Clemenceau slouched
down into his chair and stared
straight at the pad before his eyes.
apparently disinterested in the events
about him. Secretary Lansing drew
pictures. Premier Lloyd George wrote
notes Could even the, f1oodtide OF
earnest oratory make headway
against such buttressing dam OF ap-
parent Indifference. I went before the
council Of ten in high spirits. l came
away feeling that was the veriest
of pygmies. a wee little gnome who
somehow or another had trespassed.
I afterward learned I had won my
case. So one sees appearances are not
always correct"
The plant of this delegate from one
of the smaller European powers is
similar to that uttered by all others.
"All Ye Who Enter Here Leave Hope
Behind" might be true sign erected
over the doors of the council room at
Quai d'Orsay. At least it would inter-
pret the real feelings of statesmen
Of smaller powers when they appear
before the council of ten. But as this
particular statesman indicated. ap-
pearances sometimes are deceiving.
All Tongues Brought Into Action.
The council of ten has heard ma
tiona1 poets present the claims of
certain peoples in verse. this verse
running by the hour. All the tongues
Of the world have been spoken in
the advancement Of particular ideas.
As a usual thing these statesmen
who compose the council are very
polite and exceedingly patient. But
oftentimes they weary of perfervid
oratory and constant reiteration of
given facts. Premier clemenceau
oftentimes is forced to call halt
| with, "Voyans. mon cher" On one
occasion a delegate from one of the
smaller powers spoke three hours at
| lightning speed. When he had COM
pleted he announced that a colleague
would like to present additional facts.
This second person started swiftly.
and, true as an arrow, set out along
| the same path tha- had been covered
by his predecessor. After a time
Premier Clemenceau intervened.
'vous avez encore plus a dire?'
| Before the council of ten became
| the council of ten and was known in
the peace conference parlance as the
| 'big hve." it was even more dignified,
even more trying to those appearing
before it than now. But notwith-
standing the ordeal which after 81
| is psychological. delegates who have
been able to get the ear of the body
of statesmen who are directing af-
fairs of the conference all feel that
they have been given what in Amer
ican parlance would be termed
square deal" Old European ideas
of the word "councir' at least are
| fading.

get for all aspiring ones. And Paris
is filled with aspirations these days.
When a particular group with
particular grievance or claim. the
settlement of which is necessary in
the drafting of the peace pact, is
summoned to appear before the coun-
Gil of ten for a hearing, there is a
flutter and much hustle in the ranks
of summoned ones. They may have
waited in Paris for week or ten
weeks before the desired hearing
comes Consequently when the peace
conference courier approaches the
domicile of those who are to appear
there is real excitement. Delegates
put on their best clothes and not a
few wear a butonniere. They meander
forth to the Quai d'Crsay, Col. Houses 8
room in the Hotel Crillon. the Ameri-
can headquarters. where sessions
sometimes are held. the home of Pres
ident Wilson. where informal con-
ferences frequently take place, with
their burdensome bundles of docu-
ments and tongues drilled to most
persuasive arguments.
Not delegate from any small ma
ton in Paris but has not admitted
his rejoicing at the opportunity to
present his claims before the big ten.
Neither is there a delegate who has
not admitted his heart sank into his
shoes as he entered the council room
and faced President Wilson, Premiers
Lloyd George and Clemenceau and
their cohorts.

Just Folks
By EDGAR A. GUEST
FATHER AND SON.

Be more than his dad;
Be e chum to the lad;
Be a part of his life
Every hour of the day:
Find time to talk with him
Take time to walk with him.
Share in his studies
And share in his play;
Take him to places.
To ball games and races.
Teach him the things
That you want him to know;
Don't live apart from him,
Don't keep your heart from him,
Be his best comrade,
He's needing you so.
Never neglect him,
Though young, still respect him,
Hear his opinions
With patience and pride;
Show him his error,
But be not terror.
Grim -visaged and fearful,
When he's at your side.
Know what his thoughts are,
Know what his sports are,
Know all his playmates,
It's easy to learn to
Be such a father
That when troubles gather
you'll be the first one
For counsel, he'll turn to-
You can inspire him.
With courage, and fire him
Hot with ambition
For deeds that are good;
He'll not betray you
Nor ill repay you,
II you have taught him
The things that you should.
Father and son
Must in all things be one
Partners in trouble
And comrades in joy.
More than a dad
Was the best pal you had;
Be such a chum
AS you knew, to your boy.

Council an tsOminous Body"

The council of ten in the peace con-
ference, composed as it is of the big
gest minds in the allied world. rep
resentative of those nations who have
most to say in the settlement of world
affairs and who are to be intrusted
with fulfllment and perpetuation of
the principles set forth, nevertheless
is an ominous body. It's very person.
mel. headed by President Wilson, Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Premier Glenn
enceau, is designed to stir respect in
the hearts and minds of all. 1t is upon
the decisions of such men as these
that the future history of the entire
world will be predicated largely. These
names are household words in every
land throughout the globe. Even in
the distant islands Of the Pacific the
natives have heard of this man Will
son or the Tiger of France or the
doughty little .Welshman whose en-
ergy and brains furnished the back
bone of England's war endeavor.
Their spoken word has for the past
three years been listened to eagerly
by all people and statesmen. their
written word has been read by the
common people everywhere. Their sa-
gacity is admitted. their far-sighted-
ness in handling grave national or
international questions conceded. That
the cof1dence generally placed in
them.
Having 50 long held such high place
in the deliberations of world affairs
and so long been idealized by the
common people Of Europe. not to
speak of the great respect, if not awe,
in which they have been held by the
statesmen of the smaller powers, it
is not surprising in the least that
this council Of ten. dominated as it ia
by these three great spirits, should
prove little ominous. little chilli
ing to those who have to appear be-
fore 1T to plead their cause and fight
for their particular ideals and ma
tional desires in the resettlemept of
world affairs. Such is the case.

Each With a Hobby.

Paris is flooded by representatives

each with a particular national or
personal hobby to present before the
peace conference. Czechosloyakia
wants this; Jugoslavia desires that;
the territorial claims of Greece
must be adequately and forcer
fully presented that strictly ma
tionalistic aspirations are re-
spected in the final adjustment.
The Arabs propose this thing as the
panecea for the ills of the near east;
the Persians consider That another
course of procedure should be fol-
lowed. The Zionists from Palestine
present their case by word of mouth
ana printed parchment; the repre-
sentatives of the multitudinous gov
ernments and factions of Russia each
have given thing to offer to make
certain the solidification of the czar's
once great united realm. The Cubans
tnink that a certain plank should be
incorporated in the final peace treaty

commercial advancement; Uruguay
desires hearing on another oues-

means much to that particular ma
