COUNCIL CLOSES UP DETAILS
The Big Four Unexpectedly Called Into
Conference At Paris = Lloyd
George Going Home.

Paris, April 14.-Quite Unexpectedly
a meeting Of the council of four was
held at o'clock last evening with
President Wilson in attendance. The
call for the meeting resulted from Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges determination to
return to London tomorrow.
The British premier will remain in
his home country for a week and be-
cause of his lengthy absence from
Paris he and his colleagues decided to
request a final meeting today for the
purpose of closing certain phases of
the discussion, which the premier con-
sidered best for him to attend to per-
sOnally, instead of leaving the task to
Arthur L. Balfour, his substitute in
the council.
During the early hours of the day
the President remained at home, but
later went driving with Mrs. Wilson.
The bright sunshine after rain in the
forenoon had filled the streets with
Parisians, to whom the sight of the
Presidents car has become familiar.
Little. trace of the Presidents re-
cent illness remains, but the large
amount of work of the past week IA
tigued him so much that he declared
he would do absolutely no work today.
The only callers were the former
American ambassador and Mrs. Sharp,
who came to say goodbye, as they are
leaving for the United States Monday
The session which began at o'clock
ran well into the dinner hour and
broke up after o'clock The discus
sion covered the general situation,
among other questions, the date when
it would be possible to conclude the
draft treaty and summon the German
delegates to Versailles.
No statement was given out, but it
was announced this evening that Pres
ident Wilson will issue statement to-
morrow, presumably referring to the
accomplishments of the council Of
four, and of the general situation to
date.
The Italian and Jugo-Slav questions
will come before the council tomorrow,
Arthur J. Balfour sitting in place Of
Mr.. Lloyd George.
Premier CIemenceau told a deputa-
ton of the Radical Socialist group,
which called upon him today, that the
question of reparation by Germany had
been settled among the Allies a few
hours previously on basis that would
satisfy the desires of the deputation as
these had been presented to him, and
that the same could be said for the ne
gotiations concerning the Saare valley.
Although no authoritative an
nouncement has been made of the
terms of the settlement of the Sarre
valley question by the council of four,
some of the French newspapers claim
that France is to have the right of
operation of the mines in perpetuity.

Paris, April 14-An official sum-
mary of the revised covenant of the
League of Nations, issued Saturday
night, makes specific mention of the
Monroe Doctrine with respect to its
bearing on the future activities of the
League. It says:
''The covenant does not affect the
validity of international engagements,
such as treaties of arbitration or re-
gional understanding like the Monroe
Doctrine, for securing the mainten-
ance of peace"

include all belligerent and neutral
states in a document annexed to the
covenant, and "in the future any self

WILSON MAY BRING
A SIGNED TREATY
German Delegates Expected by
Allies to Accept the Peace
Terms Promptly.
ARE WORKING OUT THE DETAILS
PIenary Session of Peace Conference
to Be Held Before Arrival of
Hun Mission.

Paris, April 16.-NoW that the Ger
mans have been called to ersaiIles
on April 25, the indications are that
the proceedings may move with such
dispatch that President Wilson can re-
marin for the signing of the treaty ard
thus be able to take back the com
pIeted document.
This was the view of the Presidents
intimates today, when their attention
was called to the reports in French
papers that his departure had been
fixed for April %. 1t was declared
that no such intention had been
formed, and that the progress on the
main questions gave promise that the
President would not only attend the
opening of the congress at Versailles,
but would remain long enough to see
its work carried through, though pro-
Ionged delay by the enemy delegates
would prevent such action
No Reply to invitation.
No reply had been received tonight
from the German government to the
formal invitation extended today to
send representatives to Versailles for
the meeting of the Peace Congress

cation will arrive about April "a

Details Being Worked Out.
Precise details of what is to be done
On the arrival of the German delegates
is being worked out. Preliminary to
their arrival, plenary session of the
Peace Conference is to be held at the
foreign office for determination Of the
final course to be pursued by the AL
lies before entering into relations with
the German plenipotentiaries
Whether the treaty and covenant
both will be presented has not been de-
cided, but it is probable that the treaty
portion of the document will not be
made public until after it's delivery to
the Germans.
The treaty will be divided into two
parts, according to the latest informa-
ton in the French press. The first
part will concern Germany and will
inSaude a clause by which she will
pledge herself to comply with all
agreements to be concluded with her
former allies The second part will
not concern Germany directly and will
be signed only by the Austrian, Bull
garian and Turkish delegates.

Final Details.

Paris, April 1.-THE Belgian dele
cation to the Peace Conference today
informed the correspondent that Bel
GUM had not been officially request
ed by the council Of four to bring the
former German emperor to trial and
that the Belgian government would
feel obliged to decline to take the step,
even if there were any request for
such action
The Belgian delegates hold that any
action should be taken by a commits
sion representing all the associated
powers. The official Belgian view, 1t
was said, is that the former emperor
cannot be arraigned for declaring war
or violating the neutrality of ,elgium,
or for any act preceding or cs.Lcident
with the declaration of war
No Competent Tribunal
After pointing out that there is no
tribunal competent to hear such
charges against the former emperor,
and no provision of international law
covering such cases, the delegates said
that Belgium expects that persons
guilty of acts punishable under the
criminal codes of any of the beIliger-
ent powers should be placed on trial,
as the fact that theft, murder and
other crimes were committed during
war does not relieve the criminals of
responsibility.
An agreement was reached today by
the associated powers to send food to
Russia under. neutral control, but the
French representative made several
reservations which will be considered

that the objections will be overcome

pressed rapidly.

The great enemy of youthfulness is
the drying-up process, and this is why
we should not only keep as much as
possible with the young, but should
enter into their joys, their plays. with
zest and enthusiasm. We should romp
and play with them, interest ourselves
in the things that delight them, IN
stead of pushing children away from
us and restraining them all the time,
regarding them as a nuisance and a
bore
