In the Kiau-Chow concession to Chi
ma. she desires to retain the German
railways. mines and other valuable
concessions in ShantunE province to

Paris. Jan. 29.-The conferences
among the peace congress delegates
are beginning to touch upon the
question of the freedom Of the seas.
which probably is the one question
upon which the European delegates
seek the most immediate enlighten-
ment as to President Wilson's views.
Some Of the foremost international
law experts attending the conference
seem to be OF the opinion that the
freedom Of the seas resolved itself
into the question OF what is contra
band, since the freedom OF the seas
really means nothing more than the
right of private property to move
upon the seas in time OF war. Ar
menian representatives in Paris. at
meeting. voted to forward TO the
peace conference and the parlia-
ments of the allied governments a
resolution protesting against the
nonrecognition Of Armenia as a CO.
belligerent and the refusal to admit
its delegates to the peace conference.
The resolution declares that in addi-
ton to refusing offers from Ger
many and Turkey. the Armenians
embraced the allied cause at
the first opportunity and fought
side by side with the allies
until the end. The Armenians, 1t Is
said, fought on the French, Syrian
