US. Course in Doubt
Dn Buigor Treaty

PAR1S. July 21.-There is much
speculation in peace conference circles
AS 10 whether the American delegation
viii continue active participation IN
the framing Of the Bulgarian peace
treaty, since il is not positively known
that the United States viii sign this
treaty
Premier Nenizelos Of Greece has
raised the question whether the Ameri-
can delegation VIII sign and the clear
intimation that country which did
not intend to sign could scarcely insist
on partici pating in treaty negotiations.
This resulted in a message being sent
10 Washington from the American del
egation. asking whether the United
States ends affixing It's signature TO
the compact.
1t was generally understood before
President Wilson left France that the
President expectsd the United States
would sign both the Bulgarian and
Turkish treaties, but the opposition in
tne Senate TO the German treaty and
me possibility that the United States
raay make reservations concerning the
league Of nations has raised unccr-
tainty in the minds Of several delega-
tons as 20 Americas proper part IN
the Bulgarian and Turkish nero'ia-
tions
This uncertainty probably has been
heightened by rumors in Paris that the
United States Will not accept the Ar
menian or any other monudate and that
the members Of the Chinese delegation
ray that no compromise has YET been
framed which vii make il possible for
them 10 sign the German treAty. Il IL

PARIS, July 21-The last gap in the
barrier against Bolshevsm from tt ;
Baltic to the Black Sea has been closed
by the decision of the Supreme Coun-
Gil to give eastern Galicia to Poland.
Official notification of this action has
been handed to the Ukranian delega
tion in Paris.
The territory involved includes s.
100000 inhabitants and vas. mineral
resources, which will strengthen Pc
land and give her common frontier
with Rumania.
The disposition of eastern Galicia is
not only of the utmost Importance TO
Poland, but also TO the whole of west
ern Europe, for it mends the break "a
the fence through which there has al
ways been the danger of the forces Of
Lenine and Trotzky penetrating into
Hungary and thence to other countries.
1t also makes possible q military alli-
ance between Poland and Rumania as
we'll as the isolation of the Hungarian
Bolsheviki, whose armed forces re-
Gently have been reported to be disin-
tegrating rapidly.
One result of joining the frontiers
of Rumania and Poland undoubtedly
will be to increase the influence
and prestige o. french diplomacy IN
the work of uniting two small nations
facing Russia in q common defensive
policy. France always has been a spe-
cial friend of Rumania, which boasts
he- assimilation OF French culture,
whose armies have been trained by
French officers and whose foreign pol
icy has been guided greatly by the
French Foreign Office. France, more
over, has been fast assuming the
role of special protector Of Poland.
Many French observers believe the
Rhine frontier is far less important for
the safety of France than the 'front.' er
from Danzig to Bucharest. This east
ern frontier, they say, will in the fut-
will be this frontier which Germany,
when strong again, may first attempt to

answered to-day by the government in

1t will be some time, the statement

snip IN the league o. nations a most
important matter for the future Of

sufficient to counteract Japanese en-
croachments on China.
General Bliss drew up the statement
which the three American delegates
signed and sent to the President op-
posing the Japanese demands after
ward incorporated in the treaty Of
peace.
In regard to the secrecy maintained
by the council of three it is pointed
out that Henry White and General
Bliss were unaware whether the memo
randum reached MIR. Wilson before or
after the Shantung decision had been
taken, although undoubtedly the Presi-
dent knew informally what the atti-
tude of the three American delegates
was before their written opinion
reached him.
The memorandum was designated a
protest." and was said to be an ex-
preston of opinion intended for MIR.
Wilson's information before and not
after the settlement. 1t was a dis
sentlng opinion, even though the Amer
lean delegates, like General Smuts,
signed the treaty, while not in accord
with certain parts thereof.
French official circles are Just be-
ginning to realize the Importance the
raising of the Shantung issue in the
United States Senate may have for the
treaty as a whole. From many utter
ances of President Wilson while he
was in Europe, they had been led to
believe that the Senate could not mold
up the treaty and delay the conclusion
of peace when the President had an
opportunity to go before the American
people and present his case. Recent
developments IN the Senate therefore
have tended to shake confidence here
in Mr.. Wilson's ability to carry the
