navy appropriation bill and the gen.
eral deficiency measure made "a hard
task much harder"
1T embarrasses us much, very much"
declared the secretary.
Failure of the deficiency bill. the sec

to the department. as it would have

Mr.. Daniels said he had not had op-

on the navy of the failure of the two
bills, but that among others. one i'm

transferring of 1000 naval reservists

Weimar is hourly becoming more

At the same time apprehension ran

bitterly criticised the covenant when
its success was unsettled and endan-

approval. 3.
All fears were removed. however.
by the message of Americas chief
executive, and the conference Is now
able to go ahead with it's main Job
of fixing the terms for Germany un-
troubled by fears for the fate of the
league of nations idea.
1t Is understood that the delegn-
tions now believe that preliminary
peace terms will he handed to the
Germans at Versailles not later than
March 20.
This means that the council Of ten
and all of the various commissions
will have to work at top pressure.
The president Is due to arrive the
latter part of next week, and while
he is en- route no final decisions will
be taken by the council regarding the
more important features OF the peace
terms. Therefore it is certain that
the president will have to put in a
very crowded week Immediately after
his arrival. going over the work that
was done in his absence and co -oper-
ating in the final draft of the terms
IL the Germans are to be called in
by the 20th.
The council of ten did not meet
yesterday, chiefly because the dele
gates wanted to await the arrival OF
Premier Lloyd George. This has
caused some delay in taking up the
limitations to be imposed upon Ger
many's land. sea and air forces.
The council is now ready to take
up the claims of King Nicholas, OF
Montenegro, who Is fighting the idea
OF having his country Incorporated
within Jugo- Slavia. He Is really
fighting to retain his throne, but Is
reported to have lost great deal OF
sympathy among the entente states
men during the war. The hearing
was accorded him out of diplomatic
politeness.
The Belgian affairs commission
has declared in favor of abrogating
