automatically, Russian matters
were at a 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 T~schaikovsky, stated that it
is not only inadvisable to hold any par
ley with the bolsheviki, but it would be
physically impossible for the represen-
tatives of north Russia to reach the
Princes islands by February 10 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 bolsheviki 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
lance from their advanced positions,
and they have driven General Dutoff
out of the important city of Orenburg
on the Ural river. On the other hand,
they lost Saranpol, province of To-
bolsk, to the Siberians and are report
ed to have been overthrow in Tash-
kent, capital of Russian Turkestan. In

slav. There is little to choose between
the contenders there.

; 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 a big job before it, for
while the Poles themselves are work
ing fairly tremendously under the
leadership of Paderewski, they are be-
set by enemies on'three sides and are
engaged in continual warfare. The
Russian bolsheviki and the Ukrainians
are unremitting in their attacks, and
now the Czechs are assailing the Poles
along their southern border. The for
mer have captured a number of towns
which they claim are properly within
the boundaries of CzechosSlovakia, and
they also have seized the mining re-
gions of Karvin, upon which the Polish
state relies largely for it's mineral sup
plies.
This fighting, of course, is in direct
d~isobedience 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.

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
MES were Germany'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-
tons in the Shantung peninsula and
Manchuria. The South African repre-
sentatives, also, were displeased, be-
lieving the plan would encourage the
rebellious elements there that are still
agitating for an independent South At
RIGA.
Assuming that the internationallza-
ton plan is adopted. it is likely the
control of the lands in question would
be about as follows: German West At
RIGA to France; the Kamerun to
French Congo; German Southwest AT.
RIGA to the South African Union /;
German East Africa mainly to Great
Britain. a small part going to Belgian
Congo; the Carolines and Marshall
island to Japan; New Guinea to Aus
tralia Samoa to New Zealand. Japan
expresses willingness to give Kiao-
Chau back to China, under conditions
that have not yet developed. These
are in the main the claims that were
made by the allied natiorT but Presi-
dent Wilson and his American col
leagues made 1t clear they would not
agree to the plan by which absolute

Captured German Colonies Are to
Be Placed Under Interna-
tional Control.
WILSON'S PLAN IS ADOPTED
British Dominions Protest In Vain
Manufactures of League Of Ma
tions Will Rule the Territories
Little Progress With
Russian Problem.
BY EDWARD W. PIcKARD.

. Germany's lost colonies occupied
much of the time and attention of the
peace delegates last week, and h
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 internationalized by being intrusted
to governments designated as "manda-
tories by the league of nations. These
manufactures presumably will have a
certain liberty of action in executing
their control Of the colonies, and the
league, 1t is supposed, will enforce, by
safeguards, l. system very similar in
effect to the British colonial admins
tration.
This disposition of the former Ger
man possessions, if 1t is finally 'ac-
copied by the peace conference, will
prove another triumph for President
Wilson, for while he has yielded some
what in compromise, it is mainly his
idea. The British imperial cabinet ac-
copied his theory, despite the strenu-
GUS objections of the representatives
of the British Gominions, and the adj
hesion of France also vas announced.
Japan was not very well pleased, and
neither was Italy.
In another way this decision, if
made, vindicates Mr.. Wilson's ideas,
for it 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, it is necessary to
turn the colonies over to the league I'M
der the protectorate of the nations best
fitted to hold them.
