IRY the Asaocia ted Pressa

Eerlin. Feb. 1S.-"The so-called
league Of .nations'' is the headline
placed by the Zeitung Am Mittag over
its report from Paris giving the out
lines OF the proposed constitution OF
the new world society.
The newspaper declares that the
proposed league Is simply a compact
alliance Of five great nations which re-
serve the right to admit or exclude
other nations. 81
The reservation in the disarmament
clause. that disarmaments take into
consideration the "geoeraphica situa-
ton OF nation. plainly means, the
Zeitung Am Mittag asserts, that
4 france shall be exempted from its
provisions.
The Paris dispatches covering the
league OF nations covenant reached
Berlin too late for comment by the

council having decided that a. the
time allowed for acceptance Of the

has expired something else must be
done.
Winston Spencer Church1ll. Of Great

ton be renewed and that some Of the

acceptable to most Of the different
Russian factions be omitted.
II the supreme council accepts this
position as seems possible. it prob
ably will not insist that the con-
ference be held at Principe island. 1t
is possible that instead Of . general
meeting Of the representatives Of the
Russian factions, directing negotia-
tions may be initiated or commissions
will be appointed to get in touch with
the opposing elements.
II 10 scarcely expected that special
commissions of the peace conference,
which are studying questions con-
fided to them, will be able to submit
reports to the full conference this
week. but IL IL hoped some Of these re-
ports will be ready for revision by the
supreme council, which is still acting
as q medium between the commissions
and the conferences.
