WILSON RECAINS POPULARITY IN FRANCE
Paris Papers Again Him World Leader
Presidents Idealsm Overcome; Now Demand
League as salvati on OF the World.
By WILLIAM PHILLIP sIMMs.

BY WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS.
Paris, March 1J--"Because OF
the attacks to which he has been
subjected by certain Americans
whose political interests are ex-
aggerated nationalism, President
Wilson came back to us dearer to
our hearts than ever"
This sentiment from the pen of
Auricede Wallet, editor of the
Paris Midi, tells in nutshell the
opinion Of the average French
man.
Thus, President Wilson enters
the third phase of the peculiar
status of his relations with the
French people, whose Latin tenn
perament has given full sway to
their emotions in the past three
months. When the president ar
rived in December everybody
lauded his sense of justice but
many feared his scheme for the
league of nations was too utopian.
However, he was considered the

ed to be practical but many feared
that same sense of justice they
had praised might lead him to be
over-lenient with Germany. His
popularity decreased Today the
French admit the necessity of
feeding Germany out of sheer
self protection, while they demand
formation of the league as the
only means for salvation Of the
world.
Wilson's principles have won
out to such degree that the
French press defends him from

BY CARL. D. GROAT.

Paris. March 15-President Wilson
today was expected to urge inclusion
of the league of nations in the preli-
minary peace treaty with Germany. Il
was understood he believes that such
course not only is possible but ad-
visable.
The presidents attitude In this re-
gard was to be made known, it was
understood, either at an informal
meeting this noon or at the session OF
the supreme war council. called for 3
o'clock this afternoon. At the noon
meeting he was to be officially ac-
quainted with progress made in the
peace work during his absence.
Despite the activities of the various
committees while he was away, his
return has given new impetus to every
department OF the peace conference
owing to the fact that settlement OF
many questions was contingent on his
judgment and leaders were more hope
full than ever today that the prelimi-
nary treaty would be ready for sub
mission to the Germans beginning
March 20 and %.
TO SOUND OPINIONS.
Under this rule there will be an
tions committee of which Wilson is
chairman and various nationalities, in
Guiding neutrals, will be sounded for
suggestions and ideas.
1t is pointed out that he does not
expect the complete structure of the
league to be created at once but 1t Is
understood he favors adoption of the
present constitution with minimum Of
amendments as foundation.
The meeting of the supreme council,
this afternoon was called for the pur-'
pose of discussing military terms Of
the treaty, preparatory to drawing up
the complete pact next week.
The president did not have an idle
moment from the time he arrived here
yesterday noon until he retired. Pre-
! mier> Lloyd Gearge was waiting at the
Wilson's new residence in the Place
des Etats Nnis. Their conference last
ed until o'clock.
CONSULT ClEMENCEAU.
Both spent As minutes at lunch and
then hurried to the Hotel Grillon
where they conferred with Premier
Clemenceau until 5 80. Then the presi-
dent, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson,
called on President and Madam Poin-
care, after which they returned to their
residence for dinner.
Great crowds gathered outside the
Crillon before Wilson's arrival. They
cheered him when he entered then
waited patiently until he emerged
nearly three hours later with Premier
Clemenceau when he was given an
other ovation. Lloyd George, who ap-
peared later, also was cheered.

REVENUE CO|NPOURS
INTO FEDERAL TILL;
s2,OOO,000,O0O TODAY
Reports Reveal Unusually Large
Number of Taxpayers Disre-
gard Installment Privileges /;
Many Tangles Are Presented.

Washington, March 15.-Approxi-
mately s2,OO0,OOO,O0O in federal income
taxes will be in the hands of revenue
collectors tonight, treasury officials ex-
pect.
If only one-fourth of the estimated
tax, assessed by the new revenue laws
were paid in, the payments to midnight
would exceed $1,600, 900, 700.
But reports from every collector dis
close an unusually large number of
taxpayers are disposing of their feder-
al taxes without taking advantage Of
installment privileges.
NOT ALL IN TILL.
Although a s2,O0O,OO0,OOO payment is
believed certain, it does not mean the
Golfers. There were more than $780,
100000 in treasury certificates of in
debtedness issue with the privilege of
redemption in tax payments. Many and
perhaps all of these will be turned back
to the treasury, according to officials.
Reports received early today indi-
cate that collectors were doing a bar
gain-day business. Nearly every col
lector some time during the past week
has advised the bureau of revenue that
he has been forced to expand his office
force. They were unable to handle the
late payments promptly, advices state.
PULLING PROBLEMS.
To add to the difficulties of 11th-
hour payments, the number of puzzles
arising out of the present law appar-
emily have increased as the time limits
draw near. 1t was officially predicted
here that the number of specific cases
coming before the. bureau for decision
would be at least per cent larger
than under the old law.
These, of course, aid in slowing up
collections and will cause congestion in
every revenue office until the strike
of IL tonight, it was said.

Washington, March 15.-Senator
kenyon's statement on the league of
nations was received here today with
undisguised satisfaction by those fight
ing the proposed constitution.
Kenyon's statement, declaring for
amendment of the constitution before il

nearly week in his home state, Iowa,
talking to his constituents. Further
than that, Kenyon declined to sign the

tors. He announced before leaving
Washington that he had not made up
his mind on the proposal and would do
so only after he had gone directly to
his people and got their views.

said Kenyon that ambiguous clauses be
made plain in such document which

This was taken here to mean that

the league pact's language be cleared

Fort Dodge, Iowa, March 15.-Sena-

has issued his first formal statement
on the league of nations.
While Senator Kenyon favors the
league, he insists there should be
amendments =, the proposed constitu-

The question of taking the league now
offered or losing it forever has not
arisen, and in Kenyon's opinion, never
will.
Referring to the activities of Sena-
tors. Knox, Borah, Thomas, Reed and
Cummins, Kenyon said:
"Those senators are just as patriotic
as those who denounce them, and far
more able. They are actuated only by
patriotic motives.
CLARITY NECESSARY.
Get the peace treaty first and then
discuss the league" said Kenyon.
people have the right to demand that
ambiguous clauses are made made
plain in such document which af-
fects the whole world"
Kenyon urged that the voting power
of the United States be increased in
the body of the peace conferences.
President Wilson should be praised
for what he has done in helping for
mulate the league plans,' added Ken
yon. Il have no patience with those
who are trying to embarrass him,
either for political or other reasons"
Kenyon said, however, that Presi-
dent Wilson should encourage discus
sion and suggestions on the league.
