PARIS, Jan. 10--By direction of the
President the American Commission
finally got down to work to-day in
drawing the actual formula for a
league OF nations. to be presented as
the American plan to the inter-
allied conference which is likely to
begin not later than Tuesday. The
President will ask that the problem
Of the league be taken up after the
question Of representation has been
settled as the basis for the whole
proceeding.
This may bring out the first differ
ences of opinion. although the indlca-
tons now are that the British will
support the President, and moditica-
tons noted recently in the French
viewpoint render the success of the
Wilson plan more probable. The va
rious suggestions of formulas for a
league are being combined now into
one plan under the supervision of
James b. Synott and may be pub
lished as soon as presented to the
conference.

TO BE no FOOD FAMINE

Although the marine workers strike
still kept its paralyzing grip last night
upon the traffic and commerce of New
York harbor there was a palpable
aba atement of the evils and inconven-
fences Of the first twenty-four hours.
While all ferry lines were moribund
except the municipal line to Staten
Island, the Bay Ridge line to Staten
Island. the Twcnty-third street line
TO Greenpoint and the Lackawanna
line TO Hobokcn from Barclay street,
while railroad freight deliveries were
at standstill because 12J tugs and
! 900 lighters we're tied up.> while
steamships, some Of them necessary
to the army overseas. waited vainly
for cargoing or unloading, while North
and East River tubes were choked
with human traffic while the whole
intricate commercial machinery of the
harbor moved feebly, nevertheless GER
tain hopeful adjustments had been
made. certain apprehensions removed.
No Danger of Famine.
In the first place it was demonstrated
that New York city is in no danger OF
fuel famine or food famine even II
the strike should endure for a week or
! two--though this prospect seemed in
conceivable to persons who felt sure
that the United States Government in
tends to step in and commander all
needed vessels and equipment and ru-
the harbor with the army and navy Il
strikers and employers remained in
| tractable.
In the first shock Of the strike many
persons forgot that Manhattan is nc
| .onger an island, no longer absolutely
by water; and assumed that there was
real peril OF slim rations and cold
stoves That, fortunately, is not To he
! feared. All food and fuel authorities
agreed Yesterday. after careful sur
vey OF the stores in hand, that New
! York can got along for several weeks
