threat Of revealing secrets it is quite
conceivable that this may refer to the
correspondence passing between the al
lies and the United States at the time
the IA points were interpreted by the
American government in the parleys at
Versailles, before it was agreed to &C
cept Germany's proposal for an armi-

expressed by the allies would no doubt
clarity the situation and disclose wheth-
er some of the foreign delegations have
simply been inconsistent or whether

flying new demands.
But whatever the reason may be for

the allies and the United States 60 back
100 years to 1914 to give back to France
territory she then owned on the Rhine,
is becoming evident here that Pres
ident Wilson is impatient to get peace
signed, but does not feel that he can
lend his signature to a peace treaty
that includes anything which may here
after be described as imperialistic and
which he himself has so described in his
various speeches.
The presidents idea seems to be
that the outbreak of Bolshevism in
Hungary is symptomatic of what may

Reasons for Fears.
The French are not SO much disturbed
by the threats of Bolshevism, because
they believe it should be fought by
force, that peace should be imposed
upon Germany at the point of the bayo-
net If necessary. The big question
is, will Germany do as did Russia when
the Berlin militarists said the same
| thing at Brest- Litovsk? Will Germany
invite the allied armies to do as they
| please and herself adopt passive re-
~sistance?
| These are the ~interrogations expressed
in terms of the deepest anxiety in off

realization that II the premiers do not
agree on terms with Germany which
shall> square with their professions OF
democracy and unselfishness during the
war, then the chances for successful
| operation of the league of nations will
also diminish.
Paris is on trial just now in settling
the terms which shall be imposed on

unless France recedes from her present

spondent.

WASHINGTON, April Hints and
rumors Of possible disclosures, an ulti-
mstum and threatened withdrawal of
the American peace delegation to Amer
lea, with Premier Lloyd George and
President Wilson absolutely opposed to
the French demand for annexation of
territory-all this from Paris and state
ments from Berlin that unless the IA
points are followed in the peace, Ger
many will refuse to sign the pact-has
given ground for anxiety here.
There Is now no concealment that the
parting of ways has been reached at
Paris. Either the allies will come to
an agreement this week or cleavage Will
occur which viii a more time to
reconcile thar differences now pending,
ADMITTEDLY the delegation representing
france is this week the obstacle TO
agreement, while last week it was Italy
both are proposing claims which Great
britain and United States deem it to
De at variance with the IA points on
which Germany was granted an arml-
stice. ~
President Wilson Is arguing for an
adherence to those points not because
OF any feeling for Germany, but because
OF an apprehension that Bolshevism viii
ensue unless the peace of Paris differs
from the peace" of Brest-Litoysk
Might did not make right then, he con
tends, and it will not do so now.
On the side Of France, It is argued
here that the American delegates do
not appreciate or understand the diff
culties or plight of France and that the
coal mines on the left bank of the
Rhine are desired as a part payment
Of the indemnity. TO this the United
states Is understood to have answered
that the coal mines can be admins
tered by the French for their own adj
vantage but political possession OF the
territory Is not necessary; that to put
so many hundreds of thousands of Ger
man inhabitants permanently under
French rule would only cause the Rhen-
ish provinces to become a seat of un-
rest in Europe, and the United States
can not be expected to keep an army
indefinitely in Europe to maintain
peace,
