UNITED FRONT ON
ALL PEACE ISSUES
NINETEEN SMALL POWERS APP
PROVE COURSE TAKEN BY
FIVE LARGE NATIONS.
JULES CAMB0N GIVEN CREDIT
French Delegate Presides Over Meet
ing of Representatives of Minor
Countries and Secures the
Desired Results.

Paris, Jan. 28.-The peace confer
once made distinct gain when the 10
small powers gave full adhesion to the
organization formulated by the five
great powers, thus assuring united
front of the great and small powers at
the outset of the work on the main
subjects before the members of the
commission.
This was largely due to the skillful
direction of Jules Cambon, French
delegate and former ambassador at
Washington, who was designated by
the council Of the great powers to
preside over he meeting of the small
powers.
This meeting convened, at the for
eign Office at the same time the coun-
Gil of the great powers met, the two
separate gatherings proceeding stimuli
taneously, one in the Office Of M.
Pichon, the foreign minister, and the
other in the Sale de la PaiX.
For a time there was some appre-
hension of the sequel to the different
viewpoints expressed at Saturdays
meeting, but the meeting of the small
powers was without incident or re-
neWal of the claims then set up for
increased representation on the va
rious committees. Belgium, Serbia,
Roumania and all the small powers
had their full delegations at the after
noon meeting.
Cambon Praises Belgium.
NJ Cambon, in opening the meeting,
took occasion to allude to the great
part Belgium had taken in the war.
He then paid tribute to the part
played by Serbia, Roumania, Greece
and others. This dissipated any lin
gering shadows of disagreement and
the meeting proceeded with entire
harmony to designate the membership
Of the small powers on the commits
sion.
In the meantime the council of the
great powers held two sessions, re-
sulting in the formation of two new
commissions, to deal with financial
subjects and the question Of private
and maritime laws.
While the official communicates give
no Indication of the nature of the
question of maritime law, it would
seem to be a term embracing Presi-
dent Wilson's second point, of free
dom of the seas.

Same Old Junker Spirit in Prussia

Berne, Jan. 28.-Fear that Prussia
may be able to put through form of
government for new Germany at the
coming national assembly at Weimar,

between the delegates from North and
South Germany. This possibility was
indicated in dispatches received here.
Latest reports from Berlin showed the
majority socialists will have enough
