BELGIUM MAY TRY
 GERMAN EMPEROR
Council of Four Decides on $5,00o,- OOO,OOO Preparation for War Dam ages in Two Years, 30 Years
 for the Balance.

Paris, April 9.--The council of four met today at the Paris White House" with President Wilson in attendance. The question of responsibility for the war and the disposition of the Saar Valley again were under consideration by the British, French and Italian premiers and the president.
 The responsibility of the German emperor for the war and the meana of bringing him to trial by one of the allied governments, probably Belgium, have been definitely determined upon by the Council of Four. This follows the definite decision on the terms of separations for war damages, where by $5,000,0 100000 must be paid within the next two years and an inter-allied commission assess the remaining damage for a period of thirty years beginning May i, 1921.
 Thus two of the great obstacles which stood in the path of the rapid attainment of peace have been re- moved within the last twenty-four hours, and the period of extreme ten sion over the inaction and the failure to secure tangible results is succeeded by revived confidence over the great advance made toward permanent settlement.
 How far .these results are due to the intimations conveyed by the sum- morning to France of the United States transport George Washington by President Wilson is only conjectu- ral But it is at least a coincidence that the main difficulties began to dis solve from the time that this decision became known.
 Adhere to 14 Points.
 The exact nature of these difficul- ties are not disclosed. Friends of the president maintain that they were largely of a minor character not in- volving large principles, tho the presidents adherence to his fourteen points" as the rigid limitations of the scope of action appears to have run all thru the deliberations during the tense period of the last few days.
 While the tension has been greatly reduced, it is not entirely removed as much depends on the continuation of progress with respect to the remain ing obstacles, notably the Saar valley, the Rhine frontier, the Adriatic is- sue and a number of lesser issues, which are still short of final agree ment

May Score Big Four's Secrecy.

Paris, April 1.-The plenary ses- sion of the Peace conference today for the consideration of the labor re- port is awaited with much interest because of the dissatisfaction exist ing among the smaller nations. Indi- cations are that there may be inter- pellations concerning the secrecy with which the Big Four is surrounding it. self and rumors that negotiations may open with the Germans without fully advising all the peace delegates of the terms of the treaty. Without said to be displeased at being kept in exception the smaller nations are the dark.
 Won't Publish Peace Treaty.
 The council of four is strongly op- posed to official publication of the peace treaty before it's submission to the Germans. It maintains that 1t is allowing positive decisions to be an- nounced and that consequently the public will be advised on all the main points before the treaty is signed.
 This piecemeal and incomplete pub lication is unsatisfactory to many of the delegates. who are urging that the people of the Allied countries should have the text of the peace treaty from their officials before the Germans announce it with their in- terpretations.
