Paris, March lit is highly inn
nrobable that there will be any
amendments offered to the constitu-
ton of the league of nations when
that instrument is considered by the
plenary session of the peace confer
ence after President Wilson returns.
The fact that it may be defeated in
the United States senate, however,
causes grave concern.
This statement can be made with
authority after canvassing the situa-
ton existing not only in the Amerl-
can delegation but in those OF Great
Britain, France. italy and other ma
tions. The draft of the covenant is a

the . ,rnt intention is to stand upon

Consideration IS being given TO express
siofs of g. rnion in America as trans
mitted here, but in none so far Of
fered has there been found any rea-
son to alter the outline now in hand.
No Hint of Changes by Wilson.
If President Wilson comes back to
Paris with changed ideas, these may
be worked out, but there has been no
word received from him to show that
such T. contingency is likely. Whlle

the final peace, certain members OF
the conference were engaged in plan
ming out a system to prevail when the
German delegates are called TO Parls.
From plans drawn up today, when
are of course subject to radical re-
vision, the German plenlpotentlarles
are to be acquainted with the nature
of the peace terms at an executive
session of the council of ten. The
meeting will be in camera. and VIII

lay the proposals before their gov

After receiving the final mandate
they will travel again to Paris, where
peace will be signed--if 1t Is signed
in full session, which will be con-
yerted into an actual peace congress
instead of being merely conference
of the allies. as it is now.
Food Question Nearer solution.
In the British delegation discus
sion is taking place as to what course
should be pursued in the event or
Germany's refusal to sign. when Is
sue is possibility although not an
expectation. What is regarded as a
satisfactory formula has been arrived
at should this situation arise, but just
what the plans will be are not re-
yealed.
France tonight receded from her
position with reference to food for
Germany, and after an all-day session
of the supreme economic council a
compromise has been reached where
nv the French claims upon money
Germany proposed to use for 1000
payments will be satisfied in such q
way as to enable her to withdraw heI
objections, which have been stated IN
these dispatches.
Germany will pay for her supplies
partly in cash, partly in notes ano
partly in materials. Frances inter

to any other purpose. Details of the
new plan are to be given to the Ger

Another point that stood out in thu

been made by Secretary Lansing ant
