LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Farls, Jan. pa series OF re-
solutions dealing with the crea-
tlon of a league of nations, in
qulres into responsibility for
the war and violations of in
ternational law and other top
les were in readiness for pre-
sentation to the peace confer
ence session today. The pre-
Iminary draft for the creation
or a league was given out Off
clally and adopted without
changes as follows:
The conference, having con-
s1dered the proposals for the
creation of league of nations,
resolved that:
1T is essential to the main
tenance of the world settle
ment which the associated ma
t1ons are now met to establish
that a league of nations be
created to promote international
obligations and to provide safe
guards against war. This
league should be created as an
integral part Of the general
treaty of peace and should be
open to every civilized nation
which can be relied on to pro-
mote its objects.
"The members of the league
should periodically meet in in
ternatiOnal conference and
should have a permanent organ
ization and secretaries to carry
on the business of the league
in the intervals between the con-
ferences.
'The conference therefore aD-
points q committee representa-
tive Of the associated govern
ments to work out the details
of the constitution and the func-
tions of the league. The draft
Of resolutions in regard to
breaches of the laws of war for
presentation to the peace con-
ference reads:
THAT a commission com
posed of two representatives
apiece from the five great pow
ers be appointed to inquire
and report upon the following:
First, the responsibility of
the authors of the war; sec
Ond, the facts as to breaches OF
the laws and customs of war
committed by the forces Of the
German empire and their allies
on land, on sea and in the air
during the present war; third,
the degree of responsibility for
these offenses attaching to par
ticular members of the enemy's
forces, including members of the
stats and other indivi-
however highly placed;
fourth, the constitution and pro-
cedure of a tribunal appropriate
to the trial of these offenses;
fifth, and other matters cognate
or ancillary to the above which
may arise in the course Of the
inquiry and which the COM
finds it useful and rele-
want to take into consideration"

London Expects World

LONDON, June 80. Relief, gratfica-

of the world are voiced in the edi

peace.
President Wilson'S telegram to
American says "The Chronicle, ;" "struck
the right note regarding the treaty"
Several newspapers mnglc thanks

be no relaxing of effort to make the
league of nations effective. "The Daily

ing Japan and the Far East. and de-
nounces elements con both sides Of the

of nations and remains technically at
war with Germany, but actually the
situation, either between China and
the other Allied nations or between
China and Germany. is little altered.
On the other hand, the position of
China among the great powers serves
to insure her against undue open ag-
grcssion. Before Germany can again
become a factor in Chinese affairs
China will be able, through other dele
gates, to adhere to the present treaty
or to negotiate another treaty inde-
pendently The latter course is un-
likely. and it is expected here that
China will soon adopt the first course.
PARIS, June 80 (By The Associated
Press). In spite Of their refusal to
sign the peace treaty Saturday, the
Chinese delegates are not regarded as
having withdrawn from the peace con-
ference and will continue to take part
in the proceedings. The delegation at
present is awaiting instructions from
Peking.
If the Chinese government is dis
posed to sign, it is said in conference
circles, it is still possible for its dele
gates to do so.

BREST, June 3O.-Two French civil
ians were killed and five American SOL
dlers and sailors were injured severely
and more than 100 wounded in riots
here last night. Two of the American
soldiers are expected to die.
The casualties occurred as the result
of an exchange of shots between Amer
ican military and naval police and
French sailors.
The trouble began, according to
available accounts, when an American
naval officer, who is said to have been
drinking heavily, tore down a French
flag and tramped on it. A crowd of
Frenchmen attacked the officer and.
il is said, kicked and beat him until he
was unconscious

were not aware Of the cause of the
fight went to the aid of the naval
officer. The fight then became more
general.

dlers and sailors attempted to rush the
Hotel Moderne, where American officers
were quartered. They burned the
sentry box and threw stones at Ameri-
cans in uniform wherever they found
them. The Americans, it is said, re-
taliated.
A company of marines with fixed
bayonets was hurried to the scene and
soon restored order. Admiral Henri
Salaun, the French naval commander
at Brest. ordered the marines to re-
turn to their barracks AS the marines
marched back to their quarters, it is
declared. they were pursued by mob

GENEVA, June 30 Switzerland
celebrated joyfully the signing Of the
peace treaty at Versailles.
When President Ador received the
news he ordered flags run up on the
Federal palace. The news spread
quickly to every town Even the out
lying villages were decorated with the
Swiss and the Allied flags. Nowhere
were German or Austrian cmblems to
be seen. Gcrman-owncd shops where
Allied flags were displayed were forced
by crowds TO lower them.
Alpine mountaincers ascended Mount
Blanc and the Matterhorn in readiness
TO receive the signal of the signing
from the valley. A toast in celebration
OF the event was drunk in champagne
and tho bottles we're left at the sum
NIT, marked with the date of tho peace
treaty. In the cities cafes and hotels
remained open all night. In the noun
tain hamlets bonfres blazed.
Soldiers on the four frontiers cx-
pressed delight, because TO them it
meant the approach of rehabilitation
after five years vigilance. At the ad-
vanccd points officers and soldiers
crossed the boundaries and shook hands
with patrols OF other natlonalities.

Prlvy Councillor and Professor DR.
Albrecht Penck, of the University of
Berlin. has contributed to the Journal
Of the German Geographical Society
(Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft fir Erd-
kunde) the inevitable defence from
prussian science of Prus ssian claims
against Poland. According to THE

conclusions arc lrrefutable because
they are based on work done under his
own direction in the Geographical In
stitute Of the University of Berlin
He finds that taking as purely Ger
man those regions where 95 per cent
of the population speak German there
is no such thing as a purely Polish
territory within what are now the
boundaries of the German realm, but
only scattered ISLANDS of Polish. You
can travel from Berlin TO konigsberg
without finding even village prepon-
