Poland Grave Subject

PARIS. Saturday, March 22.-When the council of great powers met today it was in an atmosphere of considerable apprehension over Poland. which is the chief subject of discussion. This is not on account of Poland itself, but be- cause of differences which have arisen affecting the fundamental question of nationality to which President Wilson has given his strong approval. and also his thirteenth point which called for an independent Polish state with ac cess to the sea.
 This last clause has introduced an issue on which there is a wide diverg- ence of views. A committee under the chairmanship of Jules Cambon. with Sir William Tyrrell as the British member, and Dr. Robert H. Lord as the American, has reported the plan giving Poland this access to the sea by means of a ''corridor' sixty miles wide, run ming across East Prussia. But the ef- feet of this concession is to place about 1.500. 900 Germans without the new Poland and to detach the eastern most part of Prussia from Germany.
 Premier Lloyd George has taken the view that this standardization of a large body of Germans would cause sucn dlscontent as would be likely tS prlng on another war, and it is under stood that President Wilson also is no entirely satisfied with the proposal. M CamDons committee, therefore. ha. been asked to revise the plan. ant thls revision is now under discussion The committee, nevertheless. is said f, aohere to It's original plan for wid
 corridor.

GREGORY PLANS PROTECTION FUR
 MONROE CREED
fRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

PARIS. March 23-Thomas w. Gregory. former attorney general of the United States, who is advising the peace conference commission on the league of nations, with reference to legal phases of proposed amendments to the covenant. takes the view that it is not necessary to introduce a spe- cific amendment affirming the Monroe doctrine He holds that the doctrine is sufficinetly protected by the instru- ment as it stands, but as a mat ter of expediency he sees no objection
 to introducing a general proviSo which
 would safeguard the doctrine without
 specifically mentioning it. as a specific
 mention would introduce a controversy
 over the specific wants of various states.
 Such proviso has been drawn but it is not yet known whether it's in corporation in the covenant will be urged. It affirms in substance that coercive measures of the united pow CTS, as provided by the covenant, shall not operate against nations of the western hemispheres, unless the United States and other western coun- tries shall approve. It is held this would give the United States and the | WtSltiH itpuDtlcS the llQdi WOTu on dD- plying collective force against nations on that hemisphere, and this. in effect reaffirms the Monroe doctrine.
 | Going beyond this general declara- i tion, in the view of MT. Gregory and i other legal experts. would introduce wide controversy on an interpretation ] of the meaning of the Monroe doctrine l It is expected that consideration ot 1 this and other amendments will bt
 continued several days before a fina decision is reached.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, March 23.-Leaders of the Egyptian nationalist movement, de- scribing their body as the Egyptian Association of Paris" has addressed to M. Clemenceau, as president of the peace conference a letter asking that the conference, in accordance with the doctrine of rights of peoples as pro- claimed by President Wilson. hear and adjudge the claim of the Egyptian peo- pie to national independence, apart from autonomy.
 The Egyptian letter. accompanied by a lengthy pamplet in which the whole of the history of Great Britain's rela- tions with Egypt is reviewed, is pre- scented in behalf of the Egyptian dele gation, headed by Said Basha Zaglout. vice president of the Egyptian legis- lative chamber, who formerly was min- ister of justice and was recently ar rested by the British authorities and deported to Malta.
 The delegates claim to have received from the Egyptian people. through a form of plebiscite, in the form of leaf lets distributed through the country, a mandate to come before the confer ence and demand independence and not autonomy. The memorandum says the leaflets giving the mandate were signed by all the notables of Municipal l councils the Fellahs and virtually all 1 the people of Egypt.

GERMANY DR|FT TING
 TOWARD bOLSHEVSM
 RAPIDLY, HE SAYS

PARIS, March 23.-(By The Associ- ated Press) Oswald Garrison Willard of New York, editor of the nation, has just returned to Paris from a weeks observation of conditions in Germany and made a report to the American peace commissioners and the British prime minister.
 "The drift toward bolshevism is rapid in Germany" said MT. Willard today "and it can be stayed only by prompt food relief and the lifting of the blockade, so that trade may begin again and the idle German factories may receive raw materials as fast as arrangements can be made to pay for them"
 Food alone, MT. Willard declared, would not save the situation, though many Germans thought so.
 The brutalities of the Noske troops have put down the uprising for the Ebert government" he continued, ''but | have purchased i have produced a profound reaction. did not find any responsible person who did not expect another general strike, with more fighting, this month.
 'The Ebert government owes its continued existence in part to the lack | the people to turn to. Politically, con- ditions are worse in Bavaria, where the food conditions are better. Every l thing is quiet in SaXony, though lack | of food is greatest there. In Wurttem- burg, hitherto. the least disturbed German state, there is most disquiet- ing peasant uneasiness, due to the l bolshevist doctrines.
 Ut is positively stated in Berlin that there will be few trains moving in six weeks, because of the total ex- haustion of the stock of lubricants. The people are worn down and help less and the masses are very bitter against the old regime and the offi- cers, who dare not show themselves in the streets of Munich, and who carry revolvers in Berlin for self protection.
 Indemnity Is Unpopular
 Many people are still ignorant of the atrocities of the German troops in France, Belgium and Rumania, but soldiers returning from these coun- tries are telling the truth and openly accusing their officers of wholesale thefts and deliberate cruelties."
 With reference to the German view of the possible peace conditions, MT Willard said:
 T have talked with several German delegates to the peace conference, who say that any German government signing a treaty calling for heavy in deminties and the annexation of terri tory other than Alsace- Lorraine bJ the allies, could not live twenty foul hours. They will submit any peac, terms to the Weimar assembly, anC possibly to the German people them selves.
 . 1 ap the allies, these men said, grows witt the delay in getting food. Owing to hitch in the question of payments fo food, no shipments of food into Ger many have yet begun. The food il Saxony will be exhausted next montl and it is officially stated that nom will be left in Munich after May l, af ter which all attempts at rationin; will cease"

BLAME FUR DELAY SEGREGATED AMONG
 THE COMMISSIONS
Council of Ten Doesn't Care to Shoulder Responsibili- ty - League Committee Resumes Today-To Ad- just Racial Question

PARIS, March 23,-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-After a week of strong pressure and heavy demands on their strength, the principals in the peace conference took advantage of the Sun day Hull for comparative rest. Pre- mier Lloyd George made a trip to Fontaineblau for fresh air and repose, while President Wilson and party mo- tored to the war zone, where they in spected the scenes of some of the most important battles.
 While all the commissions strove hard during the week to comply with the desire of the council of ten to have all their reports ready by March 20, some of them were prevented from ac- complishing their tasks by the devel- opment of unexpected issues and by the necessity of coordinating their work.
 The council of ten appears to be anxious that it should be known that it is not the delay in the completion of the work of the commission of the league of nations that is holding back the peace treaty. Other commissions handling subjects even more essential to the treaty itself are working simul- taneously and any one of them may be held responsible for the delay.
 Preparation Committee Agrees
 The reparations commission has finally agreed what Germany can and must pay, but contention difficult of settlement has arisen as to allot- ment of damages to the different al lied nations, and over the preferential treatment claimed by some countries The league of nations commission which will resume consideration O the covenant, article by article. to, morrow, still has to dispose of tn, amendments proposed by the Frencl regarding the maintenance of a fore to protect members of the league iron sudden attacks and by the Japanes for equality of treatment of the na tionals of all league members.
