BY FRED S. FERGUSON.

Paris, Feb. 12-Whether obstruc-
tionists will gain temporary victory
by blocking final adoption of the
League of Nations constitution, prior
to President Wilson's departure for
the United States, as well as further
stirring up Paris with a war scare
will be determined within the next sc
hours.
The League Of Nations committee is
scheduled to take final action on the
constitution, the draft of which was
being put in shape by sub commit
tee today. The sub committees work
will be hampered by the fact that
many of the amendments presented at
recent meetings are not yet enti,sly
agreed on.
IT the committee cannot reach an
agreement tomorrow su emission of
the draft to the general peace con-
gress this week will be impossible.
FRENCH DIsTRUsTFUL.
The amendments to the league con-
stitution are understood to have been
introduced largely by the French who
are said to be developing an actual
distrust of President Wilson who is
insinuated to be defending the Ger
mans and Bolsheviki. This feeling not
only has been demonstrated in the
French press but is alleged to have
developed in various committees. The
French attitude has resulted, it is un-
derstood, in insistence that the con-
stitution provide for establishment of
a great international army to be sta
toned in France, as we'll as further
restrictions on German and Russian
membership.
The war scare has melted the
French to propose occupation of
Essen and other military extern
sions to the original armistics
terms. Well informed military au-
thorities declare that Marshal
Foch is far overestimatine the
situation when he says the Ger
mans are able to put an army of
100000 in the field within two
months.
IMPOSSIBLE, SAYS BRIToN.
British officer who just returned
from Germany said that even if Ger
many were in a position to raise a
new army the food situation is such
that she would be unable to feed it
more than two weeks. In addition, it
is known that the German transport
system was practically in a state of
complete breakdown when the armis-
tice was signed. The rolling stock, au-
tomobiles and horses, turned over to
the allies since then, would render i'm

been abandoned, DR.. jerks said, and
despite assurances to the contrary not
a step toward restitution has been
taken by the Japanese government.
Instead, she has deliberately pushed
that policy forward the last year as
vigorously as ever, he said. People
will wonder if she is not following her
