WILL GIVE WILSON
4 CONCISE IDEA
ABOUT INDEMNITYES
A Survey Is Being Planned and VIII
Probably Be Conducted By More
Than 200 Army Officers.

Paris, Jan. l5.--President Wilson will
have before him an independent estimate
Of the actual physical damage suffered
by France and Belgium during the war
when the peace congress reaches the
stage of discussing indemnities. A sur.
yey IS being planned and will probably
be conducted by more than 200 army Off
GERS chosen especially for the work.
Some observers believe the bill Of ac-
tual damages will be so great that the
entente nations probably will be more
concerned with the ability of the German
people to pay it than with the possibility
of exacting further damages in the ma
ture Of punitive indemnities and war
costs.
President Wilson's attitude toward the
question of what indemnities are to be
exacted from Germany has been made
plain on several occasions. He believes
that damages should be restricted to
restitution, reparation and restoration
and should not be extended to financial
punishment of the German people

TO-MAKE EFFECTIVE THE DECISIONS
OF THE PROPOSED LEAGUE OF NATIONS
LEAGUE or NATIONS
WOULD NOT INTERFERE
WITH MONROE DOCTRINE
Lord Robert Cecil Also Thinks That the
League Would Provide for Limita-
tion and Decrease of the
Present Armaments.

Paris, Tuesday, Jan. l4.--Lord Robert
Cecil, who discussed with American Jour
nalists tonight his views as to the work
OF league of nations, expressed the
opinion that the league OF nations Ger
tainly would provide for the limitation
and decrease of present armaments" He
also said the league would do away with
all treaties inconsistent with its tenets,
including compacts providing for a bal
ance of power.
Asked what effect the formation Of a
league of nations would have upon the
Monroe doctrine, Lord Robert asserted
he could see no conflict with the doe
trine. Asked what would happen if Mex
leo or South American country did
something that caused trouble with the
league, he replied:
Then, / think, an arrangement could
be made by which America could act in
behalf Of the league"
Regarding the admission of the central
powers and their allies to the league
Lord Robert said they should be admit.
ted, 'if they showed an inclination to do
the right thing" Speaking Of Germany,
he said:
"We must await events. II she turns
over a new leaf and tries to repair the
damage she has done, there is no reason
why she should not join. The league is
for the good of humanity, and not for
any select group. 1t will benefit her if
she comes in"
Austria, because of her internal con.
ditions, is not yet ready for the league,
Lord Robert said He declared, however,

"She was not to blame for the war and
is progressive
Lord Robert said the league might in
some cases take over administrative con.
troll of certain territories of great inter.
interest. He said that Palestine
and Constantinople might be in this
class. He stated that he accepted Presi-
dent Wilson's view that the league must
be constituted by the present peace con 4

otherwise it will become an impos- /
