Foch's Opinion.
Marshal Foch was called upon by
the interallied council to give an
opinion on the possibility Of trans
porting the Polish troops now in
France to their native land.
Speedy, detailed reports are ex-
pected from the members of the al
lied mission.
So far the peace commissioners
have not given formal recognition to
the new Polish government, but this
is expected to be forthcoming very
soon.
Poland on Jan. 26, when a national
assembly will be chosen, and it is un-
likely that the recognition of the in
fant republic will be before that.
Because of the spread of bolshe-
vism into Poland, the Polish ques-
tions can now be considered ss a by
product of the Russian problem.
Meet on Princes Island.
The decision of the conferees to send
a delegation to meet representatives of
the various Russian factions Gncluding
bolsheviks). on Princes Island. in the
sea of Marmora, on Feb. is, in the
event that hostilities have ceased in
Russia. was regarded as a striking VIC
tory for President Wilson.
Inc SoclanSts nailed the decision OF
the big five with delight. and it was an
apparent defeat for Stephen Pichon, the
French foreign minister, who had re-
turned negative reply to the British
proposal for Russian representation at
the peace conference on condition that
hostilities In Russia should cease.
Causes Disappointment.
The decision naturally came as a dis
appointment to the French conserva-
tives who had supported NJ. Pichon's
attitude.
It is regarded as certain that the full
conference on Saturday will ratify the
decisions of the supreme interallied
council.
The French advocates of armed in
tervention IN Russia found little SUD-
port from the first. despite the inten-
sive propaganda to send troops against
the bolsheviks. This resulted from the
fact that all the nations are war-weary
and are anxious to establish universal
peace and appease the wishes of the

LORD CECIL DOES NOT BELIEVE LEAGUE
OH NATIONS PRACTICAL AT THIS TIME

Iondon, Jan. 22.---Lord Robert Cecil,
who announced at Paris today that he
hah submitted to the peace congress
q draft of the British view on the sub
Ject of the league OF nations. believes
the world has not yet reached stage
at which an absolutely rigid system
for the preservation of international
peace can be set up, according to a
Renters dispatch from the French cap
itaL In discussing his idea OF the form
the league should take, Lord Robert
said he thinks an international tribunal
with absolutely binding powers is not
prncticable at present.
h'The creation of non-rigid interna-
tiorlal machinery by which a council, by
exerting influence toward conciliation
may work. will be the main strength
of Hxture peace makers" he said. "Such
a body must, however, possess at least

sufficient internationally guaranteed
power to be able to prevent surprise
declarations of war and to compel dis
putants to accept delay during which
forces of civilization may have time
to try to avert a calamity"
Lord Cecil said he favored the estab-
lishment of a permanent international
council of the league which would sit
at place agreed upon. Above this. he
said, there should be n superior coun-
Gil, consisting of premers or important
members OF various national govern
ments which might meet regularly and
during the next few years very fre-
quently
New states formed out OF the wreck
Of the Austro- Hungarian monarchy,
Lord Robert said, could be admitted to
the league without difficulty as soon
as settled governments were estab-
lished.
