WHAT.
A LEAGUE OF.
NATIONS MAY.
FINALLY MEAN

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The first
definite explanation of the American
delegations plan for a league of ma
tions is outlined in a copyrighted
article in the New York Sun today
by Laurence Hills, its correspondent
in Paris with President Wilson. The
article follows:
PARIS, Jan. 10.-By direction OF
the President the American Commits
sion finally got down to work today
in drawing the actual formula for
league of nations, to be presented as
the American plan to the inter-allied
conference which Is likely to begin
not late rthan Tuesday. The Presi-
dent will ask that the problem of
the league be taken up after the
question Of representation has been
settled -as the basis for the whole
proceeding. 81 :.
May Bring Split.
This may bring out the first differ
ences of opinion, although the indica-
tions now are that the British win
support the President and modifica-
tions noted recently in the French
viewpoint render the success Of the
Wilson plan more probable. The
various suggestions Of formulas for a
league are being combined now into
one plan under the supervision Of
James b. Synott, and may be pub
lished as soon as presented to the
conference.
The plan will be a compromise be-
tween the extremists of the Taft
school and the more moderate ideas.
1t Will not call for q World United
states with a president or head Of
any kind, but will provide for an
association of nations, without sur
rendering their judgment in any dis
pute that may arise and then require
a wait of year before beginning
hostilities.
II the parties to the dispute are
recalcitrant then each nation in the
league pledges itself to decide forth
with whether in its sovereign ca
pacity il will join the others in
coerche military measures.
Avoid Constitutional Amendment.
This plan removes the objections
raised against the supernatural prof.
ect. which would require the reiin-
quishment of sovereignty, and in the
case of the United States would de-
mand a constitutional amendment
making unnecessary the consent of
Congress for the employment Of the
armed forces of the country. 1t is
realized that such an amendment
would be impossible to obtain. and
therefore there would be an insuper-
able obstacle to an international pol
icy for the use of force by the ma
jority.
Opinion here now seems to regard
this solution as the most probable
outcome of the peace conference, al
though II Is admitted that many diff
ficulties connected with it must be
met still

Poor harassed civilization" is
as worried as an old lady trying
to cross the street. Problems and
troubles bewilder her, coming
both ways.
The war, so lightly started, has
built up tasks that will keep the
peoples of the world busy the rest
Of this century and longer. Lucky
they If the war only keeps them
busy, does not disorganize and
destroy many of them.
The bitterest cry comes from
the railroads. Leaving out diver
gent opinion as to Government or
private ownership, the question
Of successful railroad manage
ment, necessary to the nations
welfare, is complicated to the last
degree. ..
One Of the largest owners Of
railroad stocks said to the writer:
81 am in favor of continuing
Government control and manage
ment, and better still, Govern
ment ownership of railroads, for
one simple reason. II the Gov
ernment hands back the railroads
to the private owners, and leaves
those private owners to their own
devices, three-quarters of all the
railroads win be in the hands of
receivers inside of six months,
and the Government will have to
manage them anyhow through the
receivers"

them and other workers with the
threat of hard times if they did
not vote with the employers.

In a report to Mr.. Sisson on the
scope of the letters. Capt Emmanuel
Voska, L. S. A., head of the Prague
bureau of the committee on public
information said:
From the documents and letters II
will be. shown that Fra ncis Ferdinand
was working on building up strong
Austria. which would eventually
emancipate itself from the influence
of Berlin. This was blocking Beriln' s
plan for expansion toward the east,
and the Berlin government came to
an understanding with the Budapest
government to offset the plans OF
Francis Ferdinand.
"From one. of the letters it is evil
dent that the German emperors son
Il F.tel Frederick was selected to study
the Magyar language and to make
friends of the Magyar nobility.
although no positive proof was
found from the documents on hand as
to the conspiracy to- kill Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, it is sufficiently
evident that there was no conspiracy
in Serbia for that purpose. The arch
duke was rather friend of Serbia In
hatred of the Magyars, as he knew
of the conspiracy between the Berlin
