PARIS, April 15.-Prcmer Clemen-

tative Of the Committee for the Protec-
ton of Women Under International
Law, resolution signed by 100000
American women relating to crimes
against women committed by the Ger
mans and their allies during the war.
The resolution denounces the, German
attacks on humanity through women
kind as "infamous and sinister"
Super abundant proof exists, the
resolution says, of the crimes which
the armies of the Central powers per
petrated against women in all the
countries they invaded.
Demand is made that all officers. SOL
diers and civilians belonging to the
armies of the Central powers who per-
petrated any crimes against women or
girls in any Allied country should be
punished, if possible, especially in
patent and notorious cases. The AL
lied nations are asked to take measures
to deal adequately with the situation
and also to take steps to prevent such
deeds in the future

the Associated Press .-Newspaper
correspondents accredited to the peace
conference are more popular than
beautiful debutantes in their first
season.
Queens. counts, princes, lords, ladies
ambas sadors. ministers. premiers, pres
idcnts, would-be presidents, peace dele
gates and plain citizens who are unique
in being mere messieurs shower the
correspondents with invitations to teas,
tiffins, dinners and occasionally to
audiences which have no social dis
guise.
American cores spondents are in spe-
cial demand Everybody wants Amer
ica's ear. Three social secretaries and
a squad of motor dispatchers would be
required to avoid social errors and land
a correspondent promptly at all the
functions to which he is invited. And
he would have no time for anything
so prosaic as the plenary sessions of
the peace conference.
Everything from Belshazzar to ths
Bolsheviki is discussed at these social
functions. Correspondents are whisked
from New Guinea to Nova Zembla
without warning. Ptolemy and Pompey
we're rcsurrccted and discussed at such
length that one might suspect they
narrowly missed being selected as dele
gates to the Paris conference.
Ancient Greece and Rome no longer
seem ancient. Philip of Macedon sud-
denly became modern. Persian poets
sing of their country's proper boun-
daries with all the charm of Omar
Khayyam. The Old Testament is intro
duced as q modern bit of literature
designed to establish certain territorial
claims.
Countries and peoples are dscov-
cred at these conferences which Ameri-
can school geographers apparently
hadn't heard of; and even the geo
graphical specialists employed by the
various missions to the Paris confer
ence are mystifed.
It's rare occasion when delega-
tion descends to a period as modern
as that of Charlcmagne or Pepin the
Great in making claims for the right
of lf-determination.

and the territorial adjustments Of the
league of nations.
Tomorrow the Premier makes his
highly important speech in Parliament.
Because of the desire to keep the de
tails of the settlement secret until the
Germans reach Versailles, Lloyd George
will listen to the debate until he is
able to decide how much it is neces-
sary to reveal TO answer his critics
That his speech may prove disappoint
ing to many was admitted by those in
the best position to anticipate what he
would say. 1t will probably displease,
because it will be more moderate than
his election utterances.
The British and American peace del
egates have been cooperating much
more closely than many Paris reports
would Indicate The stories of sharp
conflicts between Lloyd George and
President Wilson have been greatly
exaggerated, according to all the in
formation the correspondent has been
able to obtain. Lloyd George feels
he shares President Wilson'S feeling
that as the armistice was made on the
fourteen points, peace. too, should be
based on them.
When the delegates agree it is un-
likely that the final treaty will contain
any radical departures.
Tories Are Worried
The Premier is in a strong political
position and his critics realize this
clearly. The Tories, who were in a
bclligerent frame of mind few days
ago, now seem to worry over the pos
sibility Of the Premier dissolving Par
lament on his own initiative. Linn
erick is more likely to worry Lloyd
George than Tory hostility.

LONDON, April 15-Lloyd George
has found London no more restful than
Paris. He was confronted to-day by
almost as many problems as he faced
in France. Steady streams Of minis

business, from the War Cabinet meet
ing, early in. the morning, until this
evening, when he saw the King
Winston Spencer Churchill was in
almost constant attendance. Presum-
ably his advice was sought by the Pre-
mier as to the military arrangements
in Ireland and India, and as to the
matter of the Russian expeitionary
force and local recruiting. which has
dropped TO only 100 men a day. Lord
Miner and Lord Curzon were consult

in Egypt and India.

Horne saw the Premier about local in

cil's request for a series of govern

topics OF dlscusslon Important as all

Claims for Relief

PARIS, April Is (By The Associated
Press The problem Of reparation
settlements still has troublous times
before it in connection with the ques-
ton Of the distribution of the indem-
nifty to be paid by Germany. Smaller
powers which suffered under German
invasion and devastation still are to
be heard relative to their shares of
the reparation fund, particularly Bel
gium, the claims of. which are entitled
to first consideration under various
pre-conference pledges.
The tentative scheme Of distribution
which Great Britain and France have
advanced apportions between 80 and
90 per cent, probably 80, of the total
sum realized to these big powers, leav-
ing perhaps 10 per cent to satisfy the
demands of Belgium, Italy, Serbia, Ru-
mania, Russia and others.
Expected Bigger Share
THIS is a smaller proportion than
The secondary powers expected, and
they almost are sure to be dissatisfied d
with it. 1t has been suggested among
the experts on the reparation commits
sion that kumania, Serbia and other
nations have received reparations
through the acquisition Of territory
but this reasoning hardly will appeal
to Belgium.

BERLIN, April 15 Via Copenhagcn)
The murder in Dresden OF War Min
ister Neuring of Saxony was received
here with expressions of shame and
horror as illustrating the dangerously
inflammable state of the public mind.
Former Ambassador Won Bernstorff,
discussing the matter, said to the Trib-
une correspondent:
"The incident shows how near to
anarchy we are and proves new
necessity for quick settlement of the
peace questions as a means OF calming
the public mind. Our craftsmanship
showed during the war woful short
comings, but even greater lack Of
craftsmanship is being shown in Paris
now, where the leaders appear to be
totally unaware of the condition OF
Germany.
"The American. British and Italian
commissions who came 20 Germany
convinced themselves that conditions
were truly represented by US and so
reported to the peace conference. Yet
the conferrees appeared to have forgot
ten in a few weeks what the COM
missions reported and proceeded with
impossible plans for the collection OF
big ndemnities. AS a matter of fact,
Germany is unable to pay anything
now and can pay only after commod-
tiles have been produced and sold
abroad.

Wculd Vote French Rule

RERNE, April 15.--If a referendum
was to be held to-day in Alsace
and Lorraine an immense majority Of
the people would vote in favor Of
joining France, declares Eduard Bern
stein, the old German Social Democrat
leader and member of the German
peace delegation, in an article in the
"Neues Weiner Journal" Of Vienna.
Herr Bernstein says he would like
to see republican Germany depart
from the policies of the abolished en-
pire, adding: LET US avoid unjust
charges that would for many years
paralyze our economic life But let
us make reparation as we promised
for the damage we have done in the
devastated countries. Let US refute
unjust accusations made against US,
but let US, above all things, make but
few protestations."

cording 20 the present understanding,
will be assigned to Russia for damage
20 invaded Russian territories, but
probably will be turned over to Great
Britain and France to apply on ad-
vances made TO the old Russian gov
ernment during the war.
Although the contributions payable
by Germany are characterized as repa-
rations, a very considerable part of The
first 000,000,0O0 will not be available
Tor reparatlon purposes, since It has
been assigned to the payment of the
expenses of the armies of occupation
and such food supplies as must be fur
nished Germany. Since the occupation
Of tho left bank of the Rhine will con-
tinue during the entire two years
covered by this first payment, the ex-
penses, particularly of the French
Occupational Army, will eat deeply
into tho $5,000,000, 900.
NO announcement as yet has been
made regarding the precise definition
OF the various "categories" of repa1a-
tons. In other words, there is no def
milton Of the classes Of damages for
which Germany is required to pay. 1t
can be stated, however, that the FIVE
"categories' adopted comprise repala-
tion for actual damage to life and
property; pensions for cripples and
the families of slain soldiers; com
pensation for enforced labor eXactad
Of inhabitants of occupied regions,
including work done by deported Bel
gians; remuneration for illegally ex-
acted labor by prisoners of war, and
payments for German acquisitions in
occupied territories. 1t is understood
that no offset has been allowed Ger
many for the maintenance of prison
ers of war in Germany during the war,
the associated governments holding
that the prisoners were supported
chiefly at their own expense through
food parcels, by which alone the pris-
oners were able to maintain existence
during captivity, and that the surplus
has been covered by work the pris-
oners performed for Germany
Although members of the commission
regard the reparations question as set
tied in the main, there are various de-
tails to be worked out, including a
scheme for German contributions Of
labor, raw materials and manufactured
articles for the restoration of devas-
tated districts. Discussions at meet
ings of the commission have been
marked by q shifting tendency from
the principle first advocated by the
French, Of leaving the exact sums to
be paid indefinite for future determi-
nation by an interAllied commission
to definite fiXation of all initial con-
trlbutions. The change of attitude on
the part Of the French undoubtedly was
inspired by pressure from Parliament,
which demanded definite knowledge Of
what was to be received from Germany
Want Advance Payment
Another financial question requiring
settlement between the Allies is that
Of repayment of advances made by
Great Britain and America to the as
sociated powers. A sub commission
was appointed to consider this ques-
ton, but the British and American
representatives thus far have not par
ticipated in its deliberations
This has been apparently in antici-
patton Of discussions which might deal
more with the negative aspect of de-
laying or mitigating payments than
actual consideration of repaymcnts.

the Italians refused. After this an In

best talent in history, composed Of
English and French scholars, and bonn
harding the British. American and
French press with pamphlets, maps
and documents, and simultaneously
opening press bureaus hero, whore in
formation was obtainable daily. Mean
time, delegations Of the disputants'
citizens wero brought hither, prima-
rily to SEQ Mr.. Wilson. ind incidentally
to talk with other Delegates and news
paper correspondents. The question Of
Fiume became crucial matter. This
seaport was nc. included in the Lon-
don pact. the grant to Italy of the
neighboring frontier therein drafted
just bordering the town
The town itself has slight Italian
majority, which desires incorporation
into the Kingdom Of Italy, also desir-
open port for free ingress and egress
TO Jugo-Slavia, Austria, Hungary and
Rumania. The Jugo-Slavs insist that
this is the only practical port avail
able for them and that 1t is rightly
theirs, because Of the preponderance
Of the Slav populations in the sur
rounding districts and the difficult
mountain bfrrers between the Inter
land and other Dalmatian ports.
Point to War Records
The Italians revert to the war rec
ords; saying that the Croatians fought
against them until the destruction Of
the Austrian empire became evident,
while tho Jugo- -Slavs say the Croatian
factor of their combination was COM
PEELED to fight. To this the Italians re-
s, denying this and pointing out
that the Croatians are Cath olics, who,
while not loving Austria, dislike the
Italians more.
The Italians have given evidence Of
Willingness to forego all or part of the
Dalmatian claims In exchange for
Fiume, which, like Trieste, they would
agree to make an open port for transit
TO and from the hinter]and countries
as far north as Czecho- Slovakia, and 1t
is believed probable that at to- days
conference, at which Orlando and Pres-
dent Wilson will endeavor to reach an
agreement, the Italian Premier will
mako grave concessions to Mr.. WI
sons principle of self-determinati IN,
in the way Of Occurring ltaly's naval
supremacy in the Adriatic. The Ital-
ians contend that they must be secured
against the possibility of future CO.
alition of the eastern European states,
creating a new Austria Hungary with
naval ambitions.
1t is understood that Clemenceau and
Balfour will accept any agreement
reached by Orlando and Mr. Wilson,
and the Italian Premier is known to re-
ellze the necessity Of compromise.
while the American President is be-
lieved to be in a mood toward the same
end after his trial balloon of last week,
which did not rally behind him the
American backing he sought.
