Paris, Feb. 3-The much discussed question whether the British domin- ions shall have separate representation as national unts in a society of na- tons is understood to have been set- tied favorably as far as Great Britain is concerned.

Senor Crespie, who said his propos- al for a single Allied financial front had been well received by Allied nlin- isters, decelared that his great point was that the Central Empires as a whole must be forced to compensate the Allies for the war damages they have suffered. Responsibility was collective, he said, and all the enemy states would have to pay in propor- ton to their wealth.
 "On the other hand, all the Allies have suffered immense losses and they must all benefit from the fndem- mites which the enemy is to pay. Each one should receive in propor- tion to the effort it has made. Thus, smaller states that have spent more than larger ones in comparison to their wealth ought to receive larger indemnities in proportion. Absolute fairness ought to be preserved in the division of indemnities.

 To permit development of a com prehensive and permanent solution, MT. Hines renewed Mir.

is the only coal within the beundaries of either Poland or Czecho- -Slovakia which will coke and it is regarded as indispensable to the manufacturing interests of each state.
 The Czechs' claims rests on suzer- ainty exercised over the country by the kings of Bohemia in the four teenth century and the fact that the coke and coal is more essential to them than to the Poles. They point out that the railroad running through the district is the only connecting link between two sections of Czecho-Slo- valkia.
 The Poles, on the other hand, hold that the section should be divided along ethnological lines. This system would give them control.

Strike Fever Spreads
 London Tubes AreIdIe
Present Week Promises to Be Critical Industrially
 For Metropolis. BUSES AND STREET
 CARS ARE RUNNING Jecond Week of Strike in Belfast Begins With In
 creased Uneasiness.

London, Feb. 3-The strike fever, which has become epi- demic in the United Kingdom, spread to London today and the present week promises to be critical industrially for the metropolis. A few strikes have occurred in the city during the past few weeks, such as that of the Thames-side ship repairers and that of the barbers.
 The seriousness of the situation was not brought directly home to Iondoners until this morning when they found the entrances to the prin- cipaI tube stations closed to them ow- ing to the midnight decision of the employees not to move trains today unless a half hour luncheon Snterval wore allowed them in their new eight hour day.
 The four (correct) tubes affected are the Central London tube, which carries a heavy traffic west and east and brings many of the city workers to their business; the Central tube artery, north and south; the city and south London, which connects with the chief railway stations and Picca- dilly; and the Brompton semi-circu- lar system, which carries thousands of travellers daily.
 The electric system of the London, Brighton and Southeast railway, which serves many of the important suburbs, such as Richmond, was also partly stopped, while other railways with similar services were threatened with stoppage- Therefore only two underground lines and the Hamp- stead railways were operating this morning in this district.
 The buses and the street cars were still. running this morning, but for some time these have been unable to cope with the ordinary traffic, be- cause of the shortage of busses and cars and of men to operate them
 The presence of large bodies of troops in Glasgow is believed to in- sure continuance of the present state of order there, but at Belfast the second week of the strike begins according to reports received here, with increased uneasiness.
 For eight days Belfast has been using candles for lighting and most of the public services been at stand still The curtailment of the fuel supply is causing considerable suffer ing and indefinite prolongation of these conditions Is considered impos- eible.
