i. s. TREATY STAND
CAUSE OF CONCERN
Unless America Plays Part
Assigned, World Program
May Be Changed.
COL. HOUSE SOON LEAVES
BY FREDERICK MOORE.
Cablcgram to The Sunday Star and the
New York Tribune. Copyright. 1919.

PARIS, May 10.-Although for the
moment the matters Immediately be-
fore the peace conference are attract
ing the greatest attention-namely
the settlement with Germany and
Italy. and after that the treaties with
Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Tur-
key-a question of gravest concern in
the inner circles of the conference is
whether President Wilson, having eff
fected the shaping of the treaty with
Germany according to his desires, will
still be able to obtain American ap-
proval of the pledges he has tenta-
lively given; for it is evident that
unless America is willing to play the
rart the President has outlined for
her much reshaping of national and
international programs throughout the
world will have to take place.
France May Reach Out.
At first the French Spokesmen re-
fused to accept Mr.. Wilson's ideas
regarding frontiers in any respect un-
less the British and American gov
ernments were pledged to the future
security of these frontiers, whereupon
the President did the best the Ameri-
say. he gave his promise to use his
influence with the Senate on his re-
turn to Washington. If this guaran-
tee is not ratified, IS many of the
delegates fear it will not be, the
French government, no matter. who
may then be premier, will proba IDLY
take measures to secure the from
tiers before Germany has time to re-
cover her military power.
The fact there will be no security
F@v Il ~. 1.-l,,
of Russia as a military or potentially
military power independent of Ger
many, and the fact that President
Wilson has shown no sign Of relent-
ing in his attitude favorable to the
bolsheviki are other factors which
afforded by the league of nations.
which the President persuaded them
to accept only on conditions which
many of the delegateS--not the French
Reports Disconcerting
The fact that Senator Lodge and
other prominent Americans, according
to cablA dispatches received here al
ready are complaining of article y in
the covenant is disconcerting to both
American and allied statesmen sup
porting the league. The delegates of
the allied powers III dueling with
PRESIDENT Wilson have, much to his
annoyance. at times insisted on shap-
ing the treaty and the covenant with
view to Americas refusal to sup
port the projects or, accepting the
letter of the covenant, permit it to go
the way of the Hague convention.
Fears that the league may be de-
vitalized by America herself are caus-
ing much concern in Paris, and seri-
Gus developments, to the French in
the first instance, may result from
further impairment by the American
Senate of the covenant and refusal to
sanction Mr.. Wilson's tentative guar
antee Of the French frontiers
The fear prevails everywhere in
Paris that the league may be still
born. but there is a determination
among many British as well as
American statesmen to make it sue
cessful.
Col. House May Leave.

Col. House May Leave.

Contrary to anticipation, Col
House may not remain as President
Wilson's representative for the ne
gotiation of the remaining peace
treaties, and who will act as his
representative if he departs, as an
ticipated, three weeks hence, is not
yet known, if, indeed, the President
has made decision.

SAYS ALLIES DELAYED
VICTORY TWO YEARS
Capt. Gordon Gordon Smith De.
clares Aiding Serbia Would
Have Ended War.

The allies could have ended the war
two. years sooner than they did if
they had needed Serbia's appeal for
aid, when Bulgaria mobilized it's
army. Capt. Gordon Gordon Smith of
the Serbian army told the British and
Canadian Patriotic Society at meet
ing in Perpetual Hall last night.
The allies, he said, kept assuring
Serbia that Bulgaria was preparing
to enter the war against the central
powers, which would enable Serbia to
hold her front without further as
siStance from the west. Even after
Bulgaria had begun to mobilize. the
captain declared, the allies informed
Serbia that the Bulgarians meant no
hostility toward the Serbian army.
Capt. Gordon-Gordon Smith then de-
scribed the heroic retreat of the Ser
bian army through a narrow noun
tain pass, hemmed in by the German,
Austrian and Bulgarian forces.

Former Policy Abandoned.

Up to the time Of the appointment
of Gen. Foch supreme commander OF
allied forces, said the speaker. the
English were convinced that the war
would be won in the west and that it
was not necessary to send relief to
the retreating Serbians.
With the Appointment of Foch. he
said, this policy was abandoned and
troops began to arrive on the east
ern front. In 1918. said the captain,
the war was brought to an end by
the fighting on the eastern front.
Won Hindenburg surrendered in the
west, he said, only because of the
collapse which had come in the east.
Capt GordonGordon Smith referred
to the natural resources of gold, sill
yer. copper and tin in Serbia, and
predicted a prosperous future for the
new and greater Serbia with an out
let to the sea.

SAYS
HE RETAINS FAITH

The RI. Rev. Frederick J. Kinsman,
who recently sent HIS resignation as
Bishop Of the Delaware Diocese TO the
Rt Rev Daniel Stuttle. presiding Bish-
op Of The Episcopal Church, has set at
rest rumors that he had abandoned the
Episcopal faith for that OF another de-
nomination. These rumors were rife
because the Bishop had criticised the
methods Of the denomination in the
administration Of the sacraments, or
ders, etc. The Bishop says:
There is nothing that I can add
concerning my decision and plans 10
what you have had in my letter Of
resignation. I have settled the cues
ton Of giving up the ministry OF the
Episcopal Church, but have not aban-
doned its communion I have made
the decision that directly affects nv
work and 7 am not now trying TO de-
termine~the other matter. which af
fects me personally. but not other peo-
pie except so far as they are annoved
by curiosity. l am weary Of wrestling
with problems, and shall take a long
breathing space before taking up
Others"
From this it IS inferred that the
Bishop Will reach no definite decision
as TO the future until after his resig-
nation as bishop has been acted upon
at the general convention in Detroit
in October.

Lewes evidently believes this is a

winter when the ice Is heavy, or in

condition, II Is pointed out, works TO
the disadvantage Of the ports OF Phlla-
delphia and Wilmington as well as
Lewes, as shipowners prefer unloading
at other ports rather than take the
risk entailed by the present shelterless
port.
The people OF Lewes are considerably
agtated over the failure to get such
action as has been asked for In the
past. and are determined now 10 make
efforts 10 not only extend the Break
water 10 the shore. but also look into
the transportation problem, believing
that the present transportation system
Is not working 10 the advantage OF the
