President's 5 Conferences
Become Chief Business
of Peacernaking After
Decision of Colonies.
Serbian Claims Against
Rumania Heard; Re-
gent Coming on Grav-
er Tilt With Italy.

Paris, Ian. 3I.-(By the Associ-
ated Press)-WhiIe the supreme
council of the great powers was oc-
cupied, today, with some of the less
er controyersies-thos in the Blak-
ans and Poland-the chief business
was in private conference, as Sc
quei to the decision on the German
colonies.
Having accepted the American
plan for supervision of the colonies
by the league of nations, it has now
become necessary to give body and
substance TO league of nations, in
order that It may perform the i'm
Portant tasks which are committed
to its care. This is regarded as the
chief business Immediately ahead,
and President Wilson is giving it
his main attention.
The president called to the Paris
White House, last night, and enter
tanned Colonel Edward M. House
and the other members of the league
OF nations commission, and, tonight,
he went to American headquarters
for another discussion on this sub
jact with Lord Robert Cecil, the
British representative; Colonel
House, Secretary of State Lansing
and others. 1t is the presidents per-
senai desire with regard to the col
onies, with the league of nations
Supervising the maadatories. that
the details to be presented will
prove acceptable and workable.
There is every expectation that the
presidents plan will be carried out
acceptaby to him.
May Name Serb Case Commission.
Two premiers Of Rumania and Serbia
NJ Bratiano and NJ. Pachitch, wer,
heard by the council, today on The
boundary issue, the last question lyin:
between them. 1t developed that another
secret treaty was signed In August
1916. az a condition of Rumania's entry
into the war, under which Rumania wa:
holding all the territory within designat
cd river boundaries.
NJ. Pachtch. on behalf Of the Serbs
Croats and SloyeneS. declared that tn,
Rumanian treaty was not made withou
the knowledge of Serbia. which wa.
largely concerned in it. He invoked the
principle of nationality, which Presiden
Wilson has enunciated, in support of thu
claim Of the Serbians To tho regiont
where. he asserted, the Serbs largely
exceeded the Rumanians.
Altho the hearing showed a sharf
difference in views, there il reason Il
believe that mutual concessions will leat
TO an agreemnt between Serbia IN,
Rumania. or. if not, that a commission
will be appointed to deal with he sub
jert.
The hearing given to the Serbs. to
day. is expected to be followed By the
early presentation Of the .Iugo- Sla'
claims to the eastern Adriatic, whicl
involve delicate questions and render
probable a formidable issue with Ital!
over the Adriatic coast.
In anticipation Of this question Prince
Regent Alexander Of Serbia will arrive
here. tomorrow. for the special pnrpost
Of personally laying Serbia's case be
fore President Wilson. Meantime re-
ports from the region in controvcrsl

him ut the door, rifle in hand, and
thanking her and promising quick
return of the borrowed articles, he set
out upon his way.
From the winding trail which arose
in successive uprisings from the val
ley into the foothills, the boss and his
follower looked down to catch sight Of
n galloping horse and rider far below,
yet not beyond rifle shot. An oath
burst from the lips of Fream.

was seen still pursuing his way and

London, March 13.-The imperial
manners Of former Kaiser Wilhelm, an
example of his royal jokes and the
stolid servility with which his officers
endured them in pre-war times was

Johannes Fischart in the German

In July, 1901, relates Fischart, the
emperor was on board the cruiser
Nymphe to watch the yacht races of
the Kiel regatta. In one OF the inter-
walls he went into the captains deck
cabin to sign some state papers.

his signature to documents placed be-
fore him one after the other by Adj
