British Plan Defeated.

Tonight's session of the commission
lasted from $3.50 until after IL o'clock,
the chief point discussed being the
constitution of the executive body of
the society of nations. Wishing to
meet the opposition of small coun-
tries which have resented their having
been excluded from the executive
body, England proposed to give FIVE
representatives, altogether, to the f1Ve
great powers, and two representatives
for smal1r countries, making the mem
bership seven in all.
y Premier Orlando of Italy approved
the British suggestion, saying that
he considered it would give fair rep
resentation to all countries. But Leon
Bourgeois. speaking for France. OPP
posed the plan, pointing out that the
nineteen small belligerents were en-
titled to larger representation. lie
found support for his assertion. Eng
land also suggested a formula which
would permit her dominions to be
represented on the executive body.

League Not Endangered.

The fact that there has been much
discussion at the sessions of the COM
mission has led to the belief in some
quarters that the success of the plan
vas endangered. 1t may be stated
however. that in the opinion of the
men who are behind this project
that such is not the case. Published
reports that certain fundamental
principles dear to the American dele
CATION have been sacrificed are de-
ciared to be untrue; it being explained
that some of the features described
as discarded never were included in
the original American or British
plans.
It is true. however, that the features
instanced were parts of other plans
which had been urged by patriotic as
sociations and had been supposed to
have met with official acceptance.

Work Pushed Today.

the special commission TO make even
more rapid progress at the meeting
called for tonight, some very effective
preparatory work was done today by
ect. Lord Robert Cecil and Gen.
SHUTS. representing Great Britain,
both the fathers of projects for the
creation of a society of nations. met
in the rooms of Col E. NJ. House with
Premier Orlando of Italy and DR.. We'll
Iington Hoo the Chinese delegate.
The group spent some time in going
over the whole field and devising
plans for meeting any attempts that
might be made to impair. in their
opinion the value of the original
project.
1t is known that some amendments
are certain to be offered. but the lead
to be confident that they will be able
10 hold their ground against any al
terations that may be really objec-
tionable to them.
The fact that Premier Lloyd George
expects to be absent from Paris for
about a fortnight is construed as an
the scheme for society of nations
to be advanced to the point where
il would be ready for adoption by
the peace conference itself before
the departure of President Wilson
for the United States.
II this impression is correct it is
said that President Wilson may con-
ten himself with taking back to
America the plan as it is expected to
be agreed upon by the special COM
miss on.

fairness Toward Western Soldiers.

CHEYENNE. Wyo.. May 20. -
Charges Of discrimination in favor of
eastern over western soldiers and Of
unfairness in the dealings of the War
Department with western men are
contained in letter mailed by
Gov. Robert D. Carey of Wyoming to
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
The letter alleges that western men
in the 77th Division were compelled
to parade in New York city against
their will, and that New York men
were then singled out and immedi-
ately discharged from the service,
while the western men were held in
camp for two weeks.
The governor also wrote to Repre-

Arrangements With Canada.

Under authority Of an act of Con-
gress. passed in 1875. the bureau has
perfected arrangements with the Ca
madam government whereby Ameri-
cans who were disabled while serving
with the Canadian forces may receive
medical treatment in this country and
Canadians who received disability dis
charges from the United States Army
may be treated in Canada.
Previous to the entry of the United
States into the war $4,000 Americans
had enlisted in the Canadian army, of
whom about 5000 have received dis
ability discharges and returned to
their homes. The number Of Cana
dams who served with the American
Army and have since returned home
10 much smaller.
The Canadian government will re-
imburse this government for all
money expended in caring for soldiers
who served under the Dominion flag.
