BOLSHEV|ST GHOST
 HAUNTS PARIS FETE
 TO BRITISH PRINCE
Europe's Diplomats, Gath cred at Dazzling Re ceptiOn, Suddenly Find Their Eyes Open to Peri lOus Situation.

lOuO CAtuuSAOAts It would be difficult to imagine more brilliant CT animated assembly than uncomfortably thronged the pa latial suites of the British embassy last night to greet the Prince of Wales boyish figure in well-worn khaki, ever smiling, but evidently very i'll at ease at the attentions paid him by lowing men and csurtsying women as he passed with Lord Der by through the rooms.
 Gems flashed dazzlingly on the heads, necks and corsagss of the wo- men and on the chests and stomachs of the interminabls array eff decorat- cd men, who have in these days reached stage of bejsweiment com pletely sclipsing the fair sex. One could easily assemble at the Paris Opera House, a "diamond horseshoe" composed exclusively of men, wear ing their binding diamond stars and crosses that would run the original article at the Metropolitan very close in point of glitter, however much 1t might be lacking in beauty.
 Foch in Seedy Uniform
 In a side room far from the mad dening crowd one saw Marshall Foch, devoid of any decoration whatever, attired in a distinctly seedy uniform, talking with quite unexpected anima- tion to a French general. The diff ference between his Spinx-like atti- tude in public and this voluble, gesti- culating individual, his tongue never stopping, his hands going like wind mills was arresting. Judging by his gestures and his facile expression one might speculate that he was de- nouncing some fool suggestion made perhaps at the supreme war council. Whatever it was, he finally dismiss ed it with a contemptous wave of the hand and derisive curl of the lip as he rose and walked away to join the throng.
 Many of the women were gowned, or rather ungowned, to an extent showing that they are in the process of solving the problem set for the Parisienne represented in one of the papers yesterday standing disconso- lately before her mirror musing:
 eve cut my dress, I've cut my corsage, and I've cut my hair, what else can I cut to be in model"
 Styles Are Amazing
 They seem to be cutting the two former still more drastically, leaving the impression that one was not at the embassy but at one of the decol- lete Paris revues. How their clothes gwen td mefe mi i q aaaiiGtArX n, not
 But amid all this superficial ap- pearance of gayety the real dominant note on all hands was one of grave and serious concern over the entire peace situation. The measures taken yesterday to accelerate the proceed ings of the conference are directly traceable to alarming news from Germany. The conference jogs along at it's own sweet will until suddenly some explosive event startles it into quickening it's pace.
 The phantom of Bolshevism is real ized all at once as assuming tangible shape, and not so far away as Rus sia either. That was the trend of talk among these diplomatists and politicians from all countries gath cred at the British embassy last night-a gathering that perhaps may precede the Waterloo of all ordered government in Europe. While the conference has been debating wheth- CT Germany's infamy did not destroy her title to relief in food and work, anarchy has been sowing the seeds from which authors hope to reap a harvest of universal ruin.
 All Eyes Opened.
 Now, at last, the eyes of everybody are opened to the immense danger that has been encouraged by this purblind policy, and also incidentally to the fatuous imbecility of attribut- ing to ro-Germanism the sincere warnings of those who foresaw what is happening. The report of the Bri. tish military commission on food anc labor conditions in Germany should nerve Premier Lloyd George to tell his Tory majority in parliament al least the truth about the situation however disappointing it may be tc their hopes of starving Germany ant at the same time extracting colos sal indemnity from her.
 The same disenchantment is i'm peratively necessary in France ant that actual possibilities be substitut ed for dreams. There was some thing of sardonic irony in the spec tacle of all these diplomats and poll ticians last night displaying profuse ly generous tributes to their states manship conferred upon them b. their grateful countries, while the re
