DEVELOPMENTS IN RUSSIA
ithuania and White Russia Show Disposition to Settle Their Differ cnccs In Pcaceabie Manner.

Basic, March 11.-A Libau dispatch says that a wireless message from Moscow states that the commissary for foreign relations of Litlluania and White Russia has sent a, note to the American, French, British and Ital- ian governments asking when plenl- potentiaries should go to Prinkipo is- lands. It is said the commiSsary's note stated there was a disposition to set tie all questions relative to the situa- tion in that part of Russia in pcaceable manner.
 This is a development of the invita- tion sent to Russian factions by the peace conference to be held at Prln- kipo islands in the Sea of Marm ora. As a condition precedent to the con- ference it was stipulated that a truce between the Russian factions should be arranged. This has not been done and recent dispatches have indicated that the plan for the conference at Prinkipo had been abandoned but that a meeting might be held at some other place which would be attended by individual Russian factions

PAV|NG THE WAY
FOR PEACE FARLEY
MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS ARE
TAKING SHAPE WITH RETURN
OF WILSON TO PARIS.
Question Of 4 League Of Nations 10
Regarded ~ the Foundation Upon
Which Must BE Erected the Main
Structure Of Permanent Peace.

Parls.-Many important questions
c. ,cerning the arrangement Of the pro-
gram for the peace conference, which
have been in process Of solution, prob
ably will soon be adjusted as result
Of President Wilson'S return to Paris.
The president now has personal
knowledge of the views Of some Of the
premiers on these subjects and he has
supplemented 1t by his observations
during his trip to Italy.
The president during his trip to Eng
land and Italy kept in close touch with
members of the American peace dele
cation in Paris, and it is evident from
the expressions of officials that the
settlement of various matters will pro-
gress more rapidly from now on.
The impending informal meetings be-
tween President Wilson and the en-
tente premiers will deal with subjects
of fundamental Importance. 1t will be
for these officials to arrange the pro-
gram which will govern the peace con-
gress itself, subject to approval when
all the delegates formally gather.
1t has been agreed that the first
matter to be considered at the meeting
of President Wilson and the premiers
will be the representation to be accord
ed the powers seeking participation in
the peace congress.
Then must come the question Of a
league Of nations, which is regarded as
the foundation upon which must be
erected the whole structure of perm
anent peace treaty and the adjustment
Of boundaries to meet conditions after
the war. The next subject to engage
attention, as next in importance, is the
naturalization of international water
ways having especially in mind the
Dardanelles and perhaps the Scheldt
and the Danube litoral.
Probably next among the foremost
subjects to receive attention will be
"use of the high SEAS" 1t may be sig
naficant that this phrase now is being
adopted instead Of the older freedom
Of the SEAS" but it is not yet possible to
ascertain in what the distinction Is to
consist.
