Captured German Colonies Are to
Be Placed Under Interna-
tiOnal Control.
WILSON'S PLAN IS ADOPTED
British Dominions Protest in Vain
Manufactures of League of Ma
tons Will Rule the Territories
Little Progress With
Russian Problem.
BY EDWARD w. PlcKARD.

Germany's lost colonies occupied
much of the time and attention of the
peace delegates last week, and the
result of their deliberations apparently
was that those colonies. and probably
some of the territories that are to be
Topped off the Turkish empire, are to
be internationaized by being intrusted
to governments designated as ''manda-
tories" by the league of nations. These
manufactures presumably Will have a
certain liberty of action in executing
their control of the colonies, and the
league, it is supposed, will enforce, by
safeguards, a system very similar in
effect to the British colonial admins
tration.
This disposition of the former Ger
man possessions, if it is finally ac
cepted by the peace conference, will
prove another triumph for President
Wilson, for while he has yielded some
what in compromise, ii is mainly his
idea. The British imperial cabinet nc
cepted his theory, despite the strenu-
Gus objections of the representatives
of the British domnions, and the adj
hesion of France also was announced.
Japan was not very we'll pleased, and
neither was Italy.
In another way this decision, If
made, yindicates Mr.. Wilson'S ideas,
for it is admitted that the creation and
maintenance of the league of nations
is necessary to carry out the colonial
plan, and the president asserts that.
inasmuch as the league was unani-
mously agreed to. ii is necessary to
turn the colonies over 10 the league un-
der the protectorate of the nations best
fitted to hold them.

Knoxville and Race Rioting.

Knoxville, Tennesse, where race
