League to Start

By FRED s. FERGUSON.


BY United Press
PARIS, March 4.-The league OF
nations. according TO the opinion
prevailing in official circles here to-
day. will start functioning soon aft
er the general peace settlement is
effected, certainly not later than
early fall.
The great majority of the peace
delegates apparently are agreed that
the present covenant represents the
composite world view, as nearly as
possible and that il will be adopted
practically as il stands. While there
is still intense interest in the atti-
tude of Washington. attacks on the
league constitution-such as those OF
Sen. Lodge and Sen. Knox-have not
created the impression that was ex-
pressed among the foreign conferees.
The latter feel the American oppo-
sition has touched only on plans that
we're thoroughly threshed out and
agreed 10 in discussion by the league
committee.
Details May be Changed.
While the basic principles Of the
outlined at present, there seems to
be no doubt that many of the de-
tails will undergo some changes
when the constitution comes up for
open debate before the general peace
conference. Numerous suggestions
have already been received from

FOR CRIMES IN WAR
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, April 24-The Temps pub
fishes in detail the report of the COM
mission on responsibility for the war.
This report was presented some time
ago, but the council of four has since
taken action differing from the or
iginal draft.
The report as published, contains
four chapters. The first reviews the
history Of the origin of the war and
formally concludes that Germany and
Austria Hungary were responsible.
The second presents 80 indictments
for violations of the laws and customs
of war, as formulated in international
conventions and concludes with the
statement that the central empires.
Turkey and Bulgaria conducted the
war by "barbarous and illegitimate
methods"
The third chapter declares that all
persons belonging to enemy coun
tries, however high their station, may
be objects of judicial prosecution.
the Fourth demands the constitution
of high tribunal to Judge crimes
committed during the war, without
however, excluding competent tribun.
ais of the different nations from act
ing in cases not coming under the
jurisdiction Of national courts.

proval of Stand to Premier.
PLAN SEPARATE PEACE
(By Associated Preaal

PARIS. April 24.-King Victor Em-
manuel has telegraphed to Premier
Orlando. commencing his action and
insisting that there be no recession
from the position Italy has taken.
Premier Lloyd George called on Pre-
mfer Orlando before the council met
this morning. The two statesmen had
a long conference, the British premier
endeavoring to obtain q change In
the Italian position and induce Italy's
representatives to remain. There was
no indication, however, of the success
Of this effort.
1t was announced at Italian head
quarters that Premier Orlando and
General Armando Diaz OF the Italian
delegation, would leave Paris this aft
ernoon, Baron Sonnino. the foreign
minister and the others following to-
morrow.
Parliament to Meet
At Italian headquarters the an
nouncement also was made that the
parliament OF Italy would meet upon
Premier Orlando's return, probably in
day or two.
Preliminary instructions have al.
ready been telegraphed to Rome.
1t was stated in Italian quarters to-
day that should the break become def.
mite, Italy would take steps to ap-
proach Germany with a view to
making separate peace.
Replies to Wilson.
The French foreign Office today
confirmed the report that Premier
Orlando's letter of yesterday to Pre-
miers Clemenceau and Lloyd George
instead OF announcing the complete
rupture, asked whether in view Of the
circumstances. the two premiers con-
sidered further Italian participation
in the conference usual.
The British and French premiers,
it is stated, will make q joint answer.
Victorio Orlando, the Italian pre-
mier. isued lengthy statement today,
replying to President Wilson In which
| the premier states in so many words
that he is compelled to withdraw from
the peace conference after President
Wilson's action which is regarded as
a departure from diplomatic customs,
and leaves the Italians no other
course.
No Break with Allies.
After Premier Lloyd Georges visit
to Premier Orlando, 1t was stated that
| the Italian premier had postponed his
departure from Poris until 8 o'clock
this evening.
| Orlando said: "We do not break
with our allies, but hand over our in
terests to their hands, trusting they
will Loyalty fulfill their mission"
The other members of the Italian
delegation may remain In Paris few
days longer.
The Echo de Paris today expressed
the belief that because of President
Wilson's direct appeal to the Italian
people," Great Britain and France will
be brought to make known the view
point Of their representative in the
Italian dispute. The same newspaper
gives it's opinion that the dispute will
not lead to a delay in the opening OF
the negotiations at Versailles.
! Premier Clemenceau, Premier Lloyd
George and President Wilson met at
| the usual hour this forenoon but no
outline of the topic under discussion
was made public although the Chino
Japanese question, reparation and pos
sibly the Italian crisis may have been
considered. -,

EARLHAM SEEKS
FUNDS TO MEET
LOSS BY War
Campaign to Raise Emerg,,
ency Sum of $4,000 viii
Start In Earnest Soon.

To meet the present financial needs
of Earlham college, a campaign to
raise an emergency fund of 100000
is being carried on by Stacey Nc
Cracken, financial secretary OF the
college In Indiana and Western Year
ly Meetings. The fund is to relievs
the debt of the college incurred dur
ing the last few years and particular.
ly during the present year, and to
make improvements in the buildings.
The deficit in the treasury has been
greatly increased by war conditions.
At the beginning Of this year the
attendance dropped almost SO per cent
of the normal number, thus making
the expense OF running the institution
practically as great as before. but
causing a large decrease in the In
come. The college now pays 204 per
cent more for its food supplies than
IN 1915 and the charges for board have
been only slightly Increased. There
are several improvements to be made
on the buildings. The state inspector
has recommended that new floors be
laid in Lindley Hall, the chapel re-
modelled and the rooms Of Bundy
Hall repainted.
But One Solicitor
At present, Secretary McCracken Is
the only representative of the college
who is in the field securing subscrip-
tions for the fund. The campaign
was delayed in starting because of the
influenza situation. McCracken has
succeeded in raising about $4,000 OF
the desired amount alone. However.
officials say, an organized effort will
have to be put forward with the aid
Of some volunteers who fully appre'
ciate the maintenance of the institu.
ton. The task of visiting the 23O
local meetings of the two Yearly
Meetings has proved too large task
for one man in so short time and
the total amount of the fund must
necessarily be subscribed by June l.
The intensive campaign will be carried
on from May 10 to May "a, inclusive
and letters have already been sent out
requesting the aid Of several men In
raising the fund.
To insure the competency Of the
solicitors, representatives will be
given one days instructions before
, starting out to the various territories
to work. The expense of the solicitors
during the campaign will be borne by
the college.
