Lord Robert Discusses League.

PARIS. Wednesday. January fby
the Associated Press). Robert Cecil
who has arrived here witf the first
section of the British peace delega-
ton, exprs ssed the opinion to the As
sociated Press that the definite or
ganization of Il league of nations Is
Indispensable as a first step toward
the conclusion of that enduring peace
and satisfactory settlement of inter-
national problems which have arisen
out of the war.
Lord Robert made it clear that his
statements were personal views and
not an attempt to give the views of
the British government.
In my opinion, q league OF nations
is necessary as the initial step in the
peace negotiations" said Lord Rob-
ert sit Is not only necessary to in
sure peace. but also for the proper
treatment of many international ques-
tions which must be considered by
the peace congress.

Bolshevism Attacked.

Following the morning session,
luncheon was served and the asso-
citation reconvened to listen to an ad-
dress against "bolshevism" by Mrs.
Basil Clark, who resided in Brussels
for number of years and who work
ed with Mr.. Hoover in the commits
sion for Belgian relief.
Balloting for the election of officers
proceeded between the hours of 1880
and $3.50. 1t is considered almost
certainty that Mrs. Wadsworth will
be reelected; that Miss Murray Led
yard of this city will replace Mrs
Robert Garrett of Baltimore as secre-
tary, and that Mrs. Garrett will fill
the office of treasurer made vacant
by Miss Anne Squire of this city.
This afternoons session is the last
scheduled. The convention was pre-
ceded by a meeting last night of the
executive committee, Mrs. Carroll
Bassett of New Jersey. chairman.

gradually abandoned by some depart

1t was impossible to obtain a direct
answer from Mr. Beeler upon the
question of what he considered a fair
haul for 5 cents. This question was
asked by a representative of some
Virginia suburbanites who are eager
for free transfers into the city.

clemenceau Stand on League.

The most interesting development
of the past week in this connection
is the fact that, while Premier Gle
menceau is frankly an advocate of
the balance of power. he is willing to
examine carefully and considerably
the plan for league of nations, even
going SO far as to select Leon Bour-
geois to handle the conferences on
this subject in behalf OF France. A
priority at least has been agreed to
in the matter of a league of nations.
All sides are willing that the league
shall be the first thing to be discussed
at the conferences. Whether the plan
evolved in the discussion will be satis-
factory to all nations 1t is difficult to
conjecture at the present time. The
important thing to keep in mind, how
ever. is that while the French premier
believes thoroughly in the system which
has hitherto prevailed in keeping the
balance of power, his belief is based
upon his conviction of the impractica-
bility of the new system rather than
an unwillingness to test it out, or n
risinclination to work out the details
of plan.

Mrs. Wadsworth told the delegates
The war has kept you from working
70 the extent you would have liked.
Now the war is won, let us conquer
suffragism.''
In her outline of suffrage happen
ings OF the past year, described as
High Lights on Suffragism," the
president said she believed her organi-
zat1on had never held more advan-
tageous position. even in the face of
apparently adverse figures and cir
eumstances. With the red peril men,
acing the country, declared Mrs.
Wadsworth, the association must hold
close together, and must help the men
in defeating the elements threatening
American political procedures which
are me-honored because. they are
time-proven. She urged the reorgani-
cation of the financial system of the
association as pressing necessity.

President Getting Ready.

President Wilson. promptly upon his
arrival here from Italy, entered into
the eXacting work of preparing for
mex. weeks meetings with zest and
enthusiasm. He had, physically, borne
most satisfactorily the trip to Italy,
which was in ali its aspects a tri
umphal journey.
President Wilson most unexpectedly
dropped in to see Col. House yester
day afternoon between and 6 o'clock
when the engagements of the latter
had become considerably congested.
All day long Col. House had been
busiiy comforting with Marshal Foch
and Stephen Pichon, French minister
of foreign affairs. and others. and
had arranged for the customary
meetings of the American commission
at s o'clock. Lord Robert Cecil ar
rived at $50 o'clock, and few min

announced, arrived. Clemenceau had

which varied from Si.l2 to S4.23 for
each s. stamp, according to the mouth
in which he purchase was made.
Although the local committee is ex-
tremely anxious to see Washington
in the honor position OF having at
tanned its quota it is highly pleased
at the showing indicated by the in
complete figures. In fact, the latter
represent n per capita ownership of
stamps to the amount of 1882. or ap-
proximately 95 per cent of the per
capita quota of $40 set for this city.
Daniel j. Callahan, who guided the
destinies OF the local war savings

year and who On December 81 last
resigned his post. is being urged by
the Secretary of the Treasury to re-
consider his decision and continue the
work in the same capacity. Mr.. Gala
han has, since his resignation, given
considerable personal attention TO the
affairs of the committee, awaiting
the appointment of his successor.

Lead rs in Conference.

Col. House disentangled this diplo-
matte congestion by comforting pri-
vately with Premier Ciemenceau, while
President Wilson entered the meeting
of the American mission, and Lord
Robert Cecil waited for his confer
ence. Finally Col. House invited Pre-
mier Clemenceau into the meeting of
the American mission with the Presi-
dent. and all discussed briefly the de-
tails of the approaching formal con-
ference, the methods to be pursued in
the organization of the meetings and
the representation on committees.
Afterward Lord Robert, who heads
the special section of the British mis-
sion created for the furtherance of
league of nations, had a long talk
with Col. House and Secretary Lam
sing and submitted number of ideas
for such q league. The whole subject
is at present in an academic stage. it
may be said. with Americas delegates
feeling their way most carefully in
arriving at formula to which they
can give their support / talked with
members of the American mission inn
mediately after the conference with
Lord Robert and received assurances.
that the United States had as yet
committed itself to no program of a
league of nations, but was canvassing
the entire ground.
This does not mean that the United
States is not making concrete and
definite suggestions for the formation
of a league. Secretary Lansing has
Henry White still another. 1t is ex-
peeted that President Wilson will
formulate the American position
finally after comforting with the Brit
ish, French and Italian representa-
tiyes.

View of Terms.
In the criticisms President Wilson
is only mildly assailed here and there,
since word has gone to the press
from official quarters that he is not
to be taken to task. The assertions
upon which stress are laid are that
the proposed peace lacks all elements
of justice and conforms in no way
to the Presidents fourteen points,
while indignation is expressed over
terms characterized as unbearable
and as spelling slavery for the Ger
man people. Some Of the protest
ants declare they are deeply moveed
and outraged by the provisions of the
treaty, while others express deep con-
tempt for what they call "brutal
peace of force" The expression, "a
verdict Of DEATH" is one frequently
used.

Berlin, May 10.-(By the Associat-
ed Press THE protests that came
from various quarters in Germany
over thc peace terms, as they were
reported before the official terms be-
came known, are as nothing in COM
parison with the wave of remon-
strance-angry, bitter, disappointed
in tone today--that is sweeping over
Germany now that the treaty has been
presented. States, municipalities, dis
tricts, organizations of various sorts,
business mems and women's clubs
and the political parties, through their
spokesmen, are viewing with each
other in finding words in which to ex-
press scUrn and condemnation for the
document.
United in Opinion.
For perhaps the first time in his
tory the German parties are united
in opinion, each of them assailing the
terms Germany is asked to sign, for
the body of the Independent Socialist
party does not appear to agree with
its organ, Die Freiheit, that Germany
should sign the peace on the terms
presented. The newspapers are ut
terly swamped with the protests, be-
ing able to print but fraction of
them. They are urged to this by The
Tageblatt, which says the unfriendly
attitude towards the treaty taken by
the Socialists Of other countries will
not be Of assistance, because they are
