Foundation for Settlement Has
Been Firmly Laid.
MUCH WORK N A MONTH
Menace of MiIitarism Has Been
Removed From World.
Hun Must Make ReparatiOn for
All Material Damages.

Paris. Feb. 1S.-The peace confer
ence is expected fisuratively to mark
time until President Wilson returns
from his brief furlo in the United
States
While the foundation for the peace
settlement has been firmly laid, the
conferees realize that the structure
cannot be completed without the
guidance of the spokesman of a people
totally disinterested in European af-
fairs. Work on the details of the
various problems will continue during
the presidents absence but it is un-
derstood that no momentous decisions
will be made until he again takes his
seat at the peace table, probably the
middle OF next month.
Opened Month Ago Today.
The peace conference formally
opened just a. month ago today. In
that month events moved faster than
even the most sanguine delegate be-
lieved possible, Yet there are count
less problems. large and small, of
which the conference has barely
scratched the surface. In the solution
Of these. the conferees will be con-
fronted by constantly overlapping and
conflicting claims, necessitating the
presence of an international umpire.
d for which office President Wilson is
admitted by the conferees themselves
and the European peoples as well, to
have qualified.
The constitution of the league of
nations. recognized as the ground
work of the entire peace settlement,
has been completed.
Draft Tentative Affair.
But the draft is at best a tentative
affair When it comes up for debate
in the general peace congress, it Is
believed practically certain that some
mendmeuts will be made Mean

Menace of Miiitarism Cons.
The menace of militarism apparent
ly has been removed. so far AZ the
enemy countries are concerned The
new armistice terms accepted Sunday
by Germany are understood to render
her absolutely impotent in a military
way, while her allies have been help
less since they first signed their res
pective armistices. Militarism as APP
piled to the associated powers is still
practically an unSOlved problem. The
league of nations draft provides limi-
tations of ornaments to the lowest
point consistent with national safety,
but leaves the Interpretation of this
largely in the hands of the executive
council of the league.
This particular point Is sure to be
debated at great length, particularly
by the French, who are deS1rOuS OF
obtaining military security against any
repetition of the German coup of 1914.
Freedom of the Seas.
Freedom of the seas" which was
one of President wilson's fourteen
points and which for a time seemed
to conflict with British ideas. was dis
posed Of in the league of nations draft.
The principle was originally designed
for protection of neutral rights in war
time. The league organization is such
that in case of war neutrality will be
practically impossible.
In matter Of indennities, an agree
ment has virtually been reached that
Germany shall not be compelled to
pay the war costs of the associated
powers but that she shall make full
reparation for material damages A
special committee is now working on
the problem of liew much Germany
should pay, how much she can pay
and how she shall pay it. The closely
allied question of responsibility for the
war and punishment for violation of
| international rules of warfare is also
being handled by a special committee.
This body has determined to investi-
/ gate the personal culpa bility of indi-
| viduals. mo matter how high placed
