ing Damascus, and Alexandria to

1t appears likely, continues the

The mandate for German East Africa
and that France will receive one for
the greater part of the Kamerun and
Iogoland. Southeast Africa, accord
ing TO this plan, will be joined to the
Union of South Africa
In the Pacific it seems likely, the
newspaper declares, that Japan will
keep the German islands north Of the
equator and Australia all the German
islands south of the equatorial line,
except German Samoa, which would be
administered by New Zealand.

1t is explained the lack Of shipping

back home is due partly to strikers,
and that the dissatisfaction Of the SOL

utcd TO the fact that the men have

League Debate
Is Arrang &c d
Republican Senator to Meet
Harvard President, Who
Will Defend Covenant
Latter Was Challenger
Question Is: s'Shall Sub
stance of Provisions Be
Ratified by the {. So

WASHINGTON. March S.A joint
debate on the league of nations Will be
held soon, probably next week at Bos-
ton, between Senator Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, Republican leader of the SEN
ate, and A. Lawrence Lowell, president
of Harvard University and chairman of
the executive committee of the League
to Enforce Peace, OF which former
President Taft is president.
Acceptance by, Senator Lodge of an
invitation from President Lowell for
the joint debate was announced to-
night from Senator Lodges Office. At
the same time correspondence between
the Harvard president and the Senator
was made public.
The time and place for the meeting
are to be arranged by the two speakers
soon after Senator Lodge returns to
Boston early next week.
President LOwcll's Challenge
President Lowells invitation to Mr..
Lodge, under date of March 6, follows:
at is of tht utmost Importance that
ence in Paris for a league of nations
should receive the fullest public dis
cussion. l therefore write to ask if
you will meet me in a public joint de-
bate on the question whether or not
the substance of the provisions of this
covenant should be ratified by the
United States. This letter is, Of
course, public"
In his reply sent to-day, Senator
Lodge wrote
~ have received your letter of
March g. I expect to be in Boston
next week and shall be very happy to
meet you then and arrange for a pub
lie discussion of the plan for the
league of nations. agreed upon by the
commission Of the peace conference,
which has lately been published in
this country"
Both Men Lead Movements
President Lowell has been one Of
the leaders in advocacy of the league
constitution. Senator Lodeg has been
equally prominent in adverse criticism
which eliminated in his presentation
to the Senate of hostile resolution
backed by a round robin signed by
thirty-seven Republican Senators and
Senators-elect declaring their opposi-
ton to the league constitution as now
framed
Senator Lodge had not planned to
discuss the league during the recess
of Congress.

america Is Expected
To Support British
Indemnity Proposal

PARIS, March 8.-The American
peace commissioners, in pursuance #
their effort to hasten the conclusion of
a preliminary treaty of peace, have
found themselves in position where
they must take sides on the conflicting
views of the British and the French
regarding the PREPARATION to be exacted
from Germany, upon which the whole
settlement hinges.
The British feel that in order to Sc
cure the great sum Of money to be de-
r,anded Of the Germans tho latter must
be enabled to receive at the earliest
possible moment food rnd raw ma
terials, and even credits, With which to
start business again, so that out If
the proceeds of that business they
. may pay their debts.
The French do not believe that the
German business interests should be
permitted TO get back into their pre-
war activity until the stricken business
interests Of France and Belgium have
at least caught up with them. They
fear that otherwise Germany will be
able TO regain possessio. of the worlds
markets In her old lines.

PARIS, March S.-The stand taken
by the German representatives. at Spa
regarding German merchant ships is
commented upon by the newspapers as
an attempt to blackmail the Allies

An official note issued to-day says
that statements appearing in the press
seem to give the impression that the
breaking off Of negotiations at Spa be-
tween the Allied and German missions
was due to the initiative of the French
delegation. 1t is declared that this is
untrue. The Allied delegates were
under the craftsmanship of Admiral
Hope, of the British navy, and it was
by agreement that they decided to re-
turn to Paris to report to their re-
spcctiSc governments.

people. and the Germans have made

Orlando Hints Peace
Terms Are Near; Plans
Quick Return to Paris

ROME, March Sin the Chamber
Of Deputies to-day Premier Orlando
intimated that he must return to
Paris, as the peace conference was en-
tering upon a defnitive phase. There
fore, he asked the Chamber to adjourn
until April 3.
Referring to the league of nations,
the Premier said that an ideal could
be obtained only when hard realities
were taken into account. They must
not be surprised if all professcd to
be adherents of President Wilson on
condition that President Wilson 8
principles were applied to others. For
tunately, there was perfect coinci-
dence between absolute justice and the
satisfaction of Italian aspirations.
This evoked cheers, and the Premier
concluded by expressing the conviction
that Italy was strong enough to sur
mount the last difficulties.

ish position. which appears likely to be
the one to be adopted.
The Supreme Economic Commission
is now trying to decide what shall be
the relations between the United States
and the Allies Ald the recent enemy
states after the war. In this connec
ton the American delegation is point
ing to the pledge given in the accept
ance of President Wilson's fourteen
points by the Allies when the arm stce
was concluded that there would be no
discrimination in tariffs or other trade
arrangements as between any aof the
nations. At the same time it is urged
that in the allotment of raw materials
preference should be given to Belgium
and France.
Another question under consideration
is the relations between the former en-
envy states and neutral states, and what
measure of control should be exercised
by the Entente in the matter.
