Paris, Feb. mo official statement
of the details of the Compromise
PLAN for the government of the for
mer German colonies by manufactures
has been made, but it is understood
that the use of the word colonies in
official statements does not limit the
scope of the plan to former German
territory. It may also apply to such ter
ritories as MesopOtamia, Armenia and
Palestine. Chinese and japanese
claims to Tsing-Tao, it is understood
will be left for adjustment to the
league of nations, and it is also be-
lieVed that the same order VIII prevail
as to Dalmatia and Albania, over
which Italy and Jugo-Slavia are at
odds.
The present program contemplates
the fastening of the league of nations
plan by the committee having it in
charge so that a report may be made
before President Wilson's departure.
The Secretariat has changed the name
of this body to 1.-The commission on

GROSS EXAGGERATIONS
That Is What Pershing Says of French
Reports of Grimes.

Washington. Feb. l. General
Pershing in an official telegram to
Secretary Baker today characterized
the sensational reports in French
newspapers of assaults and burglaries
having been committed in Paris by
American soldiers as gross exaggera-
tions"
The number of crimes committed by
American soldiers he said, was almost
negligible considering the large num-
Der of men in the vicinity. He rec
commended that full refutation of
the charges be put before the Ameri-
can public.
Since the conclusion of the armi-
stice the report added. Paris has Of
fered attraction to men mischievously
and criminally inclined and this has
resulted in minor disturbances but the
American military police organization
is excellent and disorders are kept at

Here's n Queer Angle.
A queer angle has developed in the
relations of the CZechs and Poles in
that their representatives are sitting

range a treaty with a common enemy,
yet there are outbursts of fighting be-
tween their own troops over the ques-
ton of readjustments of their own

followed by final settlement by the
league of nations, when the latter in

Speculation as to whether the Phil

authoritatively stated that neither

FOR NEWSPRINT HEARING
Federal Commission Will Hold 1t
Feb. IL, Is Word.

Washington, Feb. AT the re-
quest of the attorney general. the fed
eral trade commission has agreed to
reopen the newsprint paper price
agreement reached last spring and has
set February II for a preliminary
hearing. The commission stated to-
day the attorney general had brought
to it's attention that newspaper pub
fishers had presented a claim that
lowering costs of production entitled
them to a reduction of prices.
A petition of the American News

vision of present newsprint prices
states than an investigation made by
the Canadian paper control tribunal
brought out the fact that production
costs run from two to eight dollars
ton lower than those on which Ameri-
can present cost are based. These
lower costs, the petition asserts, pre-
vailed during the spring and summer
of 1918 and entities publishers to
readjustment of the prices paid during
the period.
