Formal Sessions of the Peace
Congress Begun, League OF
Nations Up First.
MANY PLANS ARE PRESENTED
Americans Carefully Safeguarding the
Monroe Doctrine-Poland to Get
HeIp-Armstice Terms Made
More Drastic-United
States For National
Prohibition.
Bv EDWARD w. PICKARD.

Unless the peace congress, which
held it's first formal session on Satur-
day, changes it's mind, the world must
be satisfied hereafter with such infor-
nation concerning it's deliberations as
is contained in the official cOmmunlque
issued daily. Possibly because of
breach of confidence on the part OF
some correspondent, the supreme al
lied council adopted a resolution that
the delegates shall not talk outside the
peace chamber of the doings of the
conference. The hundreds of high
priced journalists gathered in Paris
from all parts of the world can devote
their time to describing the majesty
of the Arc de TriOmphe and the allure
ments of the Paris bOulevards. The
American and British correspondents
formally and energetically protested
against this rigid censorship. Later
the rule may be relaxed, otherwise
the demand for ''open covenants OF
peace openly arrived at" goes by the
board.
In the preliminary work of the con-
ference the makeup and procedure OF
the congress were settled. 1t was de-
cided that the United States, the Brit
ish empire, France, Italy and Japan
should be represented by five delegates
apiece The British dominions and In
dia besides are represented as follows:
Two delegates respectively for Aus
tralia, Canada, South Africa and In
dia, including the native states. AMI
one delegate for New Zealand. Brazil
has three delegates. Belgium, China.
Greece, Poland, Portugal, the Czecho-
Slovak republic, ROumania and Serbia
have two delegates apiece; Siam, Mon
tenegrO, Cuba, Guatemala. Haiti, Hon
duras, Liberia, Nicaragua and Panama
one delegate apiece. The delegates
will vote as units.

but their chance for ultimate succesS
seems to have gone glimmering. For
one thing, Hindenburg still has under
his command al efficient army of more
than million men, and most of these
troops he is holding true to the Ebert
government.
This fact about the German army
leads to the warning issued by the
Central News Of London. that Il Situa-
ton exists in Europe under which war
may break out again at any time and
that the British scheme Of dem0biliZa-
ton will have to be radically changed
which may also apply TO American
decentralization. An "unimpeachabIe
authority" is quoted as saying that
Great Britain will have to keep an
army of occupation on the Rhine for
many months, which accords with the
opinion Of other concerning all the
armies Of occupation. 1t may be this
note Of alarm was caused by the dis
cOvery that the Germans were tryln>
to eVade some of the terms of the
armistice and by the more drastic
conditions imposed by Marshal FOch
in granting an extension of the arm-
stice II was reported the marshal even
threatened to march directly on Berlin
if the Huns didn't fulfill their pledges.
It was stated unofiicially that the new
terms included the following:
First-Retrbution upon the Ger
mans for the murder and ill-treatm
of allied prisoners.
Second-The machinery and goods
stolen by Germany from France and
Belgium to be at once given up.
Third-German gold, amounting to

Fourth-Germar- TO give over her
