Capital Divided.

Official Washington, which includes
those members of congress who are still
here, is more or less divided. as to the
responsibility for the delay, opponents
of the league declaring that Mr.. Viii
son has thrust this forward too promi-
nently. Friends of the president point
out that at no time in Paris has
France or Italy failed to have an OPP
portunity to discuss their respective
claims and they add hat If minutes
were produced Of all the sittings of
the council of 10, it would be found
that questions directly involved in the
makings of a peace treaty, such as
reparation, the Rhine frontier, the Ger
man colonies, the Syrian question, the
Polish boundaries and Adriatic claims
have taken up as much time and con-
versation as the league of nations, II
not a great deal more. Not a little
time has been spent ~endeavoring to
reconcile the views of France and the
United States on the subject of food
for central Europe, where Bolshevism
has broken loose n not a little time
has been taken in trying to convince
Italy that she must raise the block
AIDE of the Adriatic and permit food to
go into Jugo-Slavia and the other parts
of what was formerly the Austrian
Hungarian empire.
The failure of the council of 10 to

sides of the water to place the respon
sibility for delay wherever they please,
But the most interesting of all the for

as clearly today as If it had been said
a month, two months or three months

from an editorial just cabled from the

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Decision
10 embrace in a single peace treaty
with Germany, Austria and Bulgaria,
a settlement of all questions, tells in
a nutshell just what has been delaying
the making Of peace since President
wilson's return to Europe.
There were those who believed the
presidents discovery that the league
was not included in the preliminary
pact with Germany, during his absence
was at the bottom of the trouble. 9th
ers said it was Premier Lloyd Georges
refusal 70 sanction the Polish settle
ment, still others pointed to the Ital-
ian threat to withdraw from the con-
ference unless she were granted Fiume.
now comes convincing evidence hat
italy objected to the signing of a peace
treaty with Germany alone unless the
AuflatlC question were definitely set

over was not ready to agree to the
naturalization" of the German prov
lnces on the left bank Of the Rhine
with provisions that the French troops
should continue to occupy the territory

proposal to neutralize the territory by
torbidding the troops of either France
or Germany to occupy the provinces but
allowing the territory to remain in the
hands of Germany was reported to have
been looked on with favor by the French
delegation, but yesterday comes a cable
message from The New York Sun cor
respondent in Paris, to the effect that
the Rhine frontier has not yet been
agreed upon. Italy was not ready to
sanction the award of Frances claims
until her own were satisfied.

The only solution appeared 10 be to
revert to the plan of a single peace
treaty embracing all countries instead
OF a pact with each of the enemy bel
llgerents which might have left France
satisfied but Italy unsatisfied. But a

nearly two months so complex are the
questions. 1t would not be surprising

the questions were still unsettled and

The president himself has by urging
that fact that peace could be made
mere quickly If all powers agreed on
a few fundamentals and left territorial
problems to the league to work out
with expert boundary commissioners
and with a better opportunity for in
V~estigators to discover the fallacy Of
the different claims that are urged
On military and chronological or ecnom-
ic grounds. While therefore, the peace
conference will be trying to reach
agreement on the various questions to
be embraced in a single peace treaty
with all the enemy governments, the
work on the league of nations cove
nant will proceed along parallel lines.
Conceivaby the covenant will be re-
viewed or rewritten by the time all
the provisions of the single peace treaty
can be agreed upon.
Italy has won a victory in her effort
to secure a recognition of her case at

France were being settled. Italy claims
that if the secret treaties are to be

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

The first of the year is almost
here, time when everyone desires,
at least, to settle all old accounts,
and start the New Year with a clean
slate. The cost of white paper has
increased to such an extent that
THE NEWS will be compelled to
discontinue all subscriptions in
arrears. If any of our readers have
fallen back, and desire to continue
taking THE NEWS. they should
call and pay up their subscriptions
at once. We expect to give you a
better newspaper in 1920 than we
have given you in 1919. If you
want to keep posted on what is go
ing on in this section, you should
be a regular subscriber to THE
BOURBON NEWS.
Quite recently THE NEWS sub
mitted a proposition to the Chatfield
& Woods Company, Of Cincinnati,
one of the largest paper houses in
the country, for supply of news
print paper at what we thought a
first-class price. In reply we receiv-
ed the following, which we do not
think is violating any business con-
1edence in publishing for the con-
sideration of our readers:
Cincinnati, O., Dec. %.
Dear Strive regret very much
that we are not in a position to ac-
cept your order for newsprint paper
at eight cents per pound, f. o. b. Gin
cinnati, owing to the fact that we
have not a sheet of this size and
weight in stock. We will probably
receive a shipment of this size and
weight sometime next month and
would be glad to fill your order up
on arrival of same, at the price pre-
vailing at that time. We are sorry
that the present conditions will not
permit us to name you a definite
price on newsprint paper to-day. "
From the tone of this letter,
which but reflects the situation all
over the country, our readers can see
what the newspaper men are up
against, and may realize what a
hard row they are hoeing at present.
There is no relief in sight, and all
the publishers can do is to sit still
in the boat and not try to tip it
over. MEANWHILE all those who are
religiously inclined are hoping and
praying for relief from an intolera-
BILE situation.
