London. Dec. ,2o.-Premier Lloyd
George was ready at the opening of
parliament today to announce the de-
tails Of the governments Irish home
rule bill. This measure, which will.

Jews In Poland, has returned to Paris

the American peace delegation. Major
General Edgar Jadwin, U. s.. A, the

there.
The Morgenthau report, It is fore
cast, will deplore the raising of the
racial issue, emphasize the view that
the separation of the Jews and the Poles
within Poland is impossible and lay
stress upon the necessity of the recon
ciliation Of the discordant elements by
mutual concessions in the interest of the
new Poland.
