One important point concerning pay
ment by Germany is reported to have
been settled by the peace conference.
1t was decided that while Germany
must make full reparation for unjusti-
fable damage done, she and her asso-
heavy indemnities to reimburse the vic
torious nations for their war expenses.
Nor will Germany be compelled to re-
linquish the indemnity she took from
France in 1871. Belgium's reparation
claims will have first consideration,
and perhaps those of Serbia will come
next.

The Polish commission of the SUI
preme council, made up of representa-
tives of America, Great Britain,
France and Italy, prepared to depart
for Warsaw. 1t would seem that this
commission has big job before it, for
while the Poles themselves are work
ing fairly harmoniously under the
leadership of Paderewslxi, they are be-
set by enemies on three sides and are
engaged In continual warfare. The
Russian bolshevlki and the Ukrainians
are unremitting in their attacks, and
now the Czechs are assaillng the Poles
along their southern border. The for
mer have captured a number of towns
which they claim are properly within
the boundaries of Czecho-S -Slovalxia, and
they also have seized the mining re-
gions of Karvin, upon which the Polish
state relies largely for its mineral sup.
plies.
This fighting, of course, is In direct
disobedience of the recent order of the
great powers that all hostilities must
cease everywhere, but the Polish rep
resentatives in Paris say their country
cannot stop fighting when it Is under
constant military attack.

Diplomatically, Russian matters
were at standstill, awaiting replies
to the invitation to a conference of all
factions on the PRINCES islands in the
Sea of Marmora. The bolsheviki or
gans rather resented that plan, for
they asserted the bolsheviki were
gaining victories in the field that en-
titled them to more recognition. The
representatives in Paris Of the other
factions continued in their attitude of
passive opposition to the conference,
and General Miller, head Of the north
Russia government in the absence of
President TschaikovsEy, stated that it
is not only inadvisable to hold any par
ley with the bolshevilxi, but it would be
physically impossible for the represen-
tatives of north Russia to reach the
Princes islands by February Is with
out passing through bolshevik terri
tory, which he considered impossible.
The Omsk government insisted that
the campaign against the bolsheviki
must be pushed vigorously.
The claims of the bolshevih to vic.
tory in the field were not without
foundation. In the Archangel region
they have forced the American and al
lied troops to withdraw quite a dis
tance from their advanced positions
and they have driven General Dutofl
out of the important city of Orenburl
on the Ural river. On the other hand

A good deal of excitement and some
resentment were stirred up in Amer
ica by the announcement Of a British
embargo on many imports, effective
March 1. Among the commodities
named are numerous American prod
ucts, and those who seek to arouse
antagonism between the United States
and Great Britain were quick to accuse
the British of starting a trade war.
More reasonable persons recognize
that the embargo is an emergency
measure to help England in the re-
habilitation of her industries and that
it is undoubtedly only temporary. At the
same time, American business men
were aroused by it to the necessity Of
looking after our own place in world
trade.

Germany's lost colonies occupied
much OF the time and attention Of the
peace delegates last week. and the
result of their deliberations apparently
was that those colonies, and probably
some OF the territories that are to be
Topped Off the Turkish empire, are to
be lnternationalized by being intrusted
TO governments designated as ''manda-
tories" by the league Of nations. These
mandntories presumably will have
certain liberty of action in executing
their control OF the colonies, and the
league. II is supposed, win enforce, by
safeguards. q system very similar in
effect to the British colonial admins
tration.
This disposition Of the former Ger
man possessions, II II is finally ac-
cepted by the peace conference, will
prove another triumph for President
Wilson, for while he has yielded some
what in compromise, II is mainly his
idea. The British imperial cabinet ac-
cepted his theory, despite the strenu.
Gus objections of the representatives
of the British dominions, and the ad-
hesion of France also was announced.
Japan was not very well pleased, and
neither was Italy.
In another way this decision, If
made. vindicates Mr.. Wilson's ideas.
for IL is admitted that the creation and
maintenance Of the league of nations
Is necessary to carry out the colonial
plan, and the president asserts that,
inasmuch as the league was unani-
mously agreed to. 1t is necessary to
turn the colonies over to the league un-
der the protectorate Of the nations best
fitted to hold them.

On the eve of the assembling of the
German national convention in Wei
mar, the Ebert government seemed
firmly seated in the place of power,
though there was a possibility of COM
binations that would dominate it. The
Spartacans were in a hopeless minor
ity, however, and there was every rea-
son to believe the revolution" would
run the course laid out for it by the
old-time leaders, who never have relin-
quished control actually. That the
change of form of government has not
wrought a miraculous change of the
German heart or the German intention
to rule is the opinion of General Gou-
raud, the French commander, as it Is
Of many less well informed persons.
This view is borne out by the increas-
ingly insolent attitude of the con-
quered Huns, and by their naive sur
prise and indignation when they rea.
lized that they might not be admitted
to membership in the league of nations
Immediately and on an equality with
the nations that saved civilization
from their criminal assault.
A French expert has summarized the
policies of the present German govern
ment as follows:
Interior-1. Complete unity. 2. Redi-
vision of the nation for administrative
purposes into a number Of departments
approximately Of equal size without
taking account of the present divi-
sions.
Exterior The annexation of Ger
man Austria. 2. Opposition to the for.
nation of a strong Poland.
The annexation of German Austria
may be balked by the formation of the
proposed Danube confederation of all
the states along the Danube, including
German Austria and Bulgaria, for it
is figured that If Germany is permitted
to annex the part of Austria she covets
she would be stronger than ever In ter

The question Of the German colonies
developed the most serious diplomatic
contest the conference has engaged in,
and at the time of writing the end of
the fight was not In sight. Those colo
nies were Germauy's greatest asset,
and some OF the allied nations had
counted on them to make up in part
their immense financial expenditures
In the war. Secret agreements had
been entered into giving Australia and
New Zealand the German possessions
south Of the equator and giving Japan
the Caroline and Marshall islands. De-
spite the action Of the British imperial
war cabinet in London, the British del
egates to the conference were dis
posed to stand by these agreements.
The representatives of Australia and
New Zealand were especially insistent
on their claims, and were supported by
the japanese, who expected in return
the support Of Great Britain for posi-
tions in the Shantung peninsula and
Manchuria. The South African repre-
sentatlves, also, were displeased, be-
lieving the plan would encourage the
reOellious elements there that are still
ngitating for an independent South Az
rich.
Assuming that the internationaliza-
ton plan is adopted, it is likely the
control of the lands in question would
be about as follows: German West AT.

French Congo; German Southwest AT.

decided that the spread Of lawlessness
in Turkey made it necessary that allied

military representatives were directed
to prepare a report on the most equit-
able distribution Of this military bur-
den among the allies. The occupation
of Turkey will continue until the peace
