TESCHEN TO BE

MINE BENEFITS ARE OPEN
BY stor Correspondent Of The sux


Paris, April 15.-The fate of Teschen
on the eastern border Of the country
of the Csecho-slovaks. was decided
finally to-day. 1t was determined to
resuscitate an independent state Of
Teschen, which always has had an
ethnographical and national entity
and to withdraw 1t from political con.
troll by. either Poland or Czecho-
Slovakia. s-''~- ~-s
This adjustment Of. the difficulties
which revealed themselves in the de-
bates regarding the future status OF
Teschen coal fields has given birth to
an unique arrangement whereby
neither Poland nor Czecho- -Slovakia
will be deprived of the benefits of, the
mines, yet neither will govern the ter
ritory.
Indications are that the status of
Teschen will be absolute indepe ndence
under the protection Of the League Of
Nations.

PARIS, April 15.-President Wilson
VIII remain in Paris until the peace
treaty has been signed by the Ger.
mans. Definite information to this
effect, which was Forthcoming to-day,
puts at rest many reports that the
President had made all his plans to
leave few days after the treaty was
presented 10 the Germans, leaving
Col. K. NJ. House in the Council Of
Four TO conduct the negotiations.
The Presidents decision will mean.
apparently, that at the very earliest
he cannot arrive in the United States
before June l.
The President is hopeful that the
other treaties can be arranged speed
lily. since negotiations with the repre-
sentatives Of Turkey, Bulgaria and
Austria are not likely to consume as
much time as those with the Ger
mans. He believes that he may yet
be able TO return to America with the
entire series Of treaties all signed and
ready to lay formally before the Sen.
ate at once.
With the treaty date fixed. the
Council Of Four to-day discussed
Helgoland and Schleswig. Meanwhile
Col. House, President Wilson and
Others are comforting still on the pro-
cedure Of the meeting with the Ger
mans. which will take place in the
Trianon. -.

GERMANS INVITED TO
PEACE CONFERENCE
Details on Procedure NoU
Being Worked Out.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, April 15.-Now that the Ger
mans have been called TO Versailles
on April % the indications are that
The proceedings may move with such
despatch that President Wilson can
remain for the signing Of the treaty,
, and thus be able to take back the COM
pleted document.
This was the view of the Presidents 9
intimates to-day when their attention
was called TO the reports in French
papers that his departure had been
, fixed for April IS. IL was declared that
no such intention had been formed,
and that the progress on the main
questions now gave promise that the
President not only would attend the
opening OF the congress at Versailles
but would remain long enough to see
its work carried through. though pro-
longed delay by the enemy delegates
would OF course prevent such action,
German Delegates Awaited.
on the arrival of the German delegates
Is being worked out. Preliminary TO
their arrival a plenary session OF the
Peace Conference is to be held at the
Foreign Office for determination of the
final course TO be pursued by the Allies
before entering into relations with the
German plenipotcntiaries.
Whether the treaty and covenant will
both be presented has not yet been de.
cided. but 1t is probable that the treaty
portion OF the document will not be
made public until after its delivery to
the Germans.
The procedure with the enemy pien,-
potentiaries is also receiving attention
One plan under consideration Is for the
Council of Four TO hold the first meet
ing with the Germans and deliver the
document. This would not be a public
session, and It's main purpose would be
TO arrange effective disposal OF the bust
ness without prolonged discussion.
An alternative plan Is for the entire
membership OF the Peace conference TO
proceed TO Versailles for "a formal ses-
sion, at which the treaty would he de-

PARIS, April 15.-With the date
now fixed for giving the treaty to the
Germans. great step toward final
peace has been taken, but 1t cannot
be said that conservative opinion here
is inclined 10 see the actual treaty
signed with Germany before the end
of May. Statements from French
sources that the Allies would compel
the Germans TO sign by May II, the
anniversary of the treaty of Frank.
fort. are moi supported in American
circles.
Everybody realizes here, including
President Wilson. that the Germans
are planning a great diplomatic bat
tie. directed by men trained in the
old school. although bearing the ban
ner of German liberalism. For weeks
the Germans, according TO advices re
ceived here. have employed their gen.
eral stan Of diplomatsts on a plan
of campaign. For example. they are
going TO counter move by actually
bringing in bill for damages against
the Allies. American agents in Ger
many have reported that they have
even seen these lists. which include
claims due 10 the alleged illegal
blockade.

STEEL PLANTS EXPECT
STRIKERS TO RETURN
Samuel Gompers in New York Speech
Predicts Ultimate Victory for
Workers in Industry

\HSSOci;lteu lTeSS summary
Billings. Sept. 29.--With both sides
determined to break the apparent
deadlock in the steel strike which de.
veloped at the close of the first week.
attention today is focused on strategic
points along the industrial battlefront,
particularly in the Pennsylvania sec.
tor. Employees Of labor are marshall
ing their forces for determined eff
fort to reopen many mills and to in.
crease the output of those which
weathered the initial walkout. Direc-
tors of the strike. on the other hand,
are making every effort to rally more
workers to their colors and to effect a
virtual paralysis of the industry.
Yesterday passed quietly in the steel
centers. In Allegheny county. mass
meetings called by union organizers
were held without disorder under SUI
perviSion of the sheriff.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation Of Labor, who
left New York last night for Wash.
ington. predicted victory for the
strikers and added that the struggle
probably would be discussed at the
industrial conference to be opened at
the national capital October &.
