sian factions at the conference to be
held on the Princess islands
Word has come from the Ukraine
that the government of the former
part OF Russia will participate in the
conference, and it is reported that the
indecision of the government of gen.
eral Demikine has given way to a de-
sire to join the conference. The gov
ernment Of the Crimea has alreadyrac-
cepted the invitation as has the boil
shevik government.
It Is beginning to appear that a
sufficient number Of other factions
be in evidence to meet the bolsheviki
and the entente and American repres-
entatives to assure the success of the
conference plan. The success of the
conference Is believed to depend upon
the willingness Of the Moscow soviet
TO give certain guarantees. such as the
cessation OF histilities and the with
drawal of the bolshevik forces from the
provinces which they have invaded. 1t
Is by no means certain that the soviet
government viii agree to any such
guarantees.
Shotter Asmistiee Periods.
The allies have decided to force Ger
many to her knees.
There will be no more toleration of
her defiance Of the armistice terms
and, following General Foch's warn.
ing that Germany could in two months
put 100000 troops in the field, a
proposal to change the allied armis-
rtice policy and greatly shorten the
arnlistice periods was put before the
supreme war council.
This proposal calls for the limiting
OF the arm6tice periods Of about ten
days. at the end of which time new
terms would be imposed on Germany.
simultaneously, it was announced
unohicially that Great Britain and
France have sent notes to Matthias
Erzberger. president Of the German
armistice commission. dealing with
the failure Of Germany to deliver loco
motives and agricultural machinery
as agreed. He says the tone Of the
notes virtually constitutes threat to
Germany. 1t is reported a similar
note Is expected from the United
States.

The French government formally
presented to the league OF nations COM
mission last night an article creating
an International military force. The
introduction Of this article for inclu-
sion in the society Of nations plan
closely follows the disclosure by Pre-
mier Clemenceau in his recent inter
view with the Associated Press Of his
conviction that the league Of nations
must be supported "by the determin-
alton Of each nation entering into the
agreement to be willing to renounce
its traditional aloofness to other peo-
pies and be willing to employ it's ma
tional strength outside it's own coun-
try in time Of peace as well as in time
Of war"
The contention Of Leon Beourgois,
who presented the article, is that the
international force must be OF suffi-
cient forces to prevent Germany or
any other country from breaking the
peace, or II the peace were broken to
