initely presented to the Premiers, and,
If need be, a suggestion will be made
that they remain continuously together
until these two difficulties are met and
overcome.
The expectation also was advanced
that any doubts still remaining on the
question whether the league Of nations
would or would not go into the peace
treaty would be settled in some quite

miers VINO are the controlling influence
of the conference.
The results of the deliberations
of the Supreme Council to-day are
not likely to be stated in the Off
cial communicates, and probably will
take form in their effect on the con-
ference work, particularly with respect
to reparations, frontiers and the league
Of nations.
The War Council to-day again dealt
with Poland, which question is close to
settlement. 1t is understood that
the recommendations of the Cambon
committee for Polish corridor across
East Prussia to the Baltic will prevail.
despite the objections raised by Pre-
mier Lloyd George. The Polish divi-
sions at present in France will prob
ably proceed to the Baltic and may
land at Koenigsberg, instead of DAN
zig, in order to avoid clash with the
Germans over Danzig.
The league of nations commission
resumed its sessions at $3.50 o'clock
tonight, President Wilson presiding.
The commission is expected to sit until
midnight. 1t was not believed that
the large number of amendments would
be completed and the revision of the
covenant concluded without another
meeting.
Amendments Planned
The amendments have been divided
into three classes: First, those by
neutrals; second, those by an American
Senator; third, those framed by Presi-
Robert Cecil. The last named group
includes all points which the trainers
Of the instrument believe will clarity
it's meaning and satisfy objections in
al, quarters.
The text Of the speeches Of Senator's
Lodge and Knox and the main points
of the recent debate between Senator
Lodge and President Lowell of Har-
ward are being gone over IN shaping
these changes.
The o,scial statement issued after
the meeting Of the Supreme War Coun-
made no mention of the Hungarian
situation. The only reference to the
situation in Eastern Europe was the
announcement that American proposals
concerning the powers Of the Teschen
commission, which concerns Poland
and Czecho-Slovakia, were adopted.
The future status OF the German
submarine cables was agreed upon by
the council. The statement reads:
"The Supreme War Council met this
afternoon from a to o'clock. The
question of submarine cables captured
from the enemy was examined. The
future status of those cables was de-
cided on and the terms Of reference
regarding that status were referred
to the drafting committee.
"The American proposals concern
ing the powers Of the Teschen COM
mission were adopted"
A conference Of the premiers was
called for o'clock this afternoon to
arrange for the programme Of the Su-
preme Council session. The news from
Hungary and Poland was expected to
spur the heads Of the governments
to military decisions Of the first i'm
Dortancc.
The peace conference commission on
| CZecho-S Slovak affairs held a meeting
to-day, an official announcement says,
to consider further questions which
| have arisen because Of developments
in the former Austro- Hungarian EN-
pire.
Allies Need Protection
The Peace Conference has been ad-
( vised by Entente agents of the critical
situation in Hungary. Some street
fighting in Budapest has been reported,
and while the lives Of Entente nationals
are said still to be safe, it is urged
that they need the protection which
would be afforded by monitors proceed
ing up the Danube from Serbian ports.
Such monitors, according to advices
received to-day, arc already on the way
up the river
Premier Clemcnceau had long con-
ference with Stephen Pichon, the
Foreign Minister, yesterday, on the
hungarian situation, according to Mar
eel Hutin OF the echo de Paris" 1t
is understood that General Halcr's
Polish divisions will he shipped at once
to Danzig and landed, whether the
Germans like it or not. M. Hutin adds
that certain precautions have already
been taken in such an eventuality.
Two French divisions are at Buda-
pest, and several Serbian divisions are
at Belgrade ready to take the field.
and it is believed that, with the Ruman-
ians, they arc capable Of meeting the
situation.
Raymond Rccouty, writing in the "Fi-
CARO-" states, on the other hand, that
the divisions in question are Of reduced
strength, the Rumanians being abso-
lutely without equipment. Such forces
az are scattered over hundreds OF kilo-
metres from Banat to Odessa, he says,
are quite insufficient to cope with The
threat which everything shows In about

Like NapoIeon's Return
"rhc situation is ns serious as that
which arose when the Congress Of
Vienna learned Of Napoleon's return
from Elba. To-day, AZ hundred
years aRo, negotiators have provoked
and have been surprised by Destiny"
