Germany to Subscribe
To League, but viii
Not Become Member

LONDON, April 7.--"The difficulty Of
putting the text OF the covenant OF the
league of nations in the peace treaty
that Germany is to sign, If Germany y
is not a party to the covenant, which
she by her signature accepts" says the
Paris espondent of "The Wcstmi n
ster Gazette" "has been cleared up. BY
skilfm piece of draughtsmanship the
covenant. as it will appear in the
treaty, is so worded that while the ex-
istence and jurisdiction of the league
will be recognized BY Germany, that
country will not be Immediately re-
ceved as member. She will, however,
express her full accord in the constitu-
ton of such a body and will agree to
abide by its decisions.
ALTHOUGH there is at present no
question of Germany being one of the
original signatory powers. it is con-
templated that so soon as it is certain
that that country will faithfully carry
out the obligations of the league, it
will come in. This is line which will

Lloyd George III,
-. The Council OF -Four
Makes SIO,U Progress

PARIS, April (By The Associated
Press).-The council of four was to
y have met at II o'clock this morning
at the White House where President
Wilson is still confined to bed, but
able to consult with his colleagues in
emergencies. 1t developed, however,
that Premier Lloyd George has been
affected in similar mannr as the
President. which has confined him
also to his bed A morning session of
the council was, therefore, impossible
1t was then determined to have the
council meet at Mr.. Lloyd Georges
residence, so as to be near him and
have the session begin at $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon, with Premier Clemen-
Ceau. Premier Orlando, Colonel House
and all the council reports present.
At the conclusion of the council it
was stated that on agreement had been
reached on reparations or other sub
jects, and that the discussion on repa-
rations would be resumed tomorrow,
with President Wilson possibly pre-
sent
Accepts Reparation System
The council heard the report of the
reparation committee and accepted q
proposition which provides for the
formulation of the categores of dam
ages which Germany will be required
to pay and the method Of estimating
= them, but will leave to a commission
sitting after the peace treaty is signed
the determination of the full bill and
! the amount which can be collected
from Germany. AS it is not expected
that Germany will be able to pay the
, claims in full, tho assets which are
realized from her will be prorated
among her creditors proportonately to
the size of the claims and without
preference.
The council will fix definitely the
amount of the initial payment and in
struct the commission as to the mini
mum amount to be collected. 1t is now
: estimated that this amount will run
ap to about $4,000, 100000, of which
Germany will be required to pay $5,-
. 600 100000 down in cash or securities,
with another instalment payable with

LONDON. April THE Ukrainans

If plebiscite to decide the ownership
of territory in dispute between the
two republics is arranged under CON
troll Of the Entente, according to
statement made by NJ. Holubovitch,
Premier of West Ukraine quoted in
a Vienna dispatch to "The Mail"
M. Holubovitch, who was interviewed
by the correspondent at Stanislau,
claimed for Ukraine all the TERRITORY
between the River San and the Rus
sian frontier and said the Ukrainians
would fight for it to the last, He de-
clared, however, that because of his
anxiety for peace, he would consent
to vote of the people if the Poles
would withdraw across the Russian
border and abide by the result of the
plebiscIue.
He added that Bessarabia had sent
delegates to Rumania, and he was hope
full that peaceful arrangement could
be reached
The struggle between Poland and
the Ukraine has been in progress since
the signing of the armistice. The
stake comprises possession of that see
ton of Galicia of which Lemberg is
the centre and which is inhabited by
both Ukrainians and Poles. Galicia
once composed part of the old king
dom Of Poland, prior to its partitfSh
in 1892.
On the other hand, the presence of
a large Ukrainian population in the
province has prompted the Ukrainian
natlonaists. headed by Houbov;cn,
Petlura, Venichenko and Lisogub, to
demand the inclusion of the Lemberg
