Warsaw, Monday. Feb. 1O.--(By A..
PD-During his address in the Polish as
sembly today, General Joseph Pilsudsk.
former military dictator OF Poland, re-
ferred to the close bonds between this
country and the Allies His words were
cheered
Just before the afternoon adjourn
ment Prince Radziwill, senior member of
the assembly. read a Telegram anounc-
ing that Brest-Litovsli had been occupied
by Polish troops.
The Assembly opened yesterday with
a speech by General Pilsudski, who re-
quested the oldest delegate to preside
as temporary chairman and two of the
youngest TO act as temporary secre-
taries.
The Assembly adopted a proclamation
assuming control Of Poland by virtue of
the election of the delegates by the peo-
pie and saying the representatives are
the national representatives of Poland.
The assembly was adjourned until Feb
bruary II, when a constitution will be
adopted.
Poland's form of government assumed
ly will be Republican. 1t is expected
that Ignace Jan Paderewski will not
meet opposition for the office of presi-
dent and that General Pilsudski will act
as military head of the new government.
The arrival of a big 1nterallied mis-
sion Is looked forward to with interest.
1t is anticipated that the first ten days
or two weeks work of the mission will
be devoted to studying Polish questions
rather than to making decisions. One
of the first things II must decide Is ad-
justment of the Czech questions.

In addition to Marshal Foch, Marshal
Petain and Field Marshal Haig, General
Pershing and General Diaz will be pres
ent at today's session of the Supreme
War Council to deal with the terms for
the renewal of the armistlce.
A statement issued by the official
bureau explains that the supreme eco
nomic council Is not to be confused with
the economic commission of the Peace
Conference. The supreme economic coun-
Gil will decide economic questions during
the armistice The economic commits
sion will advise the Peace Conference
on economic questions In connection with
the peace terms.
The new terms for the armistice with
Germany were still under discussion last
night at a protracted session held at
the home of Marshal Foch. The whole
subject has been referred to a special
armistice committee, composed of mill
tary and civilian members from each
of the great Powers. The American
members are General Bliss and Normal
Davis of the United States treasury.
The latter is associated in the commit
tee with Albert Strauss, vice chairman
of the Federal Reserve Board.
The presence Of the latter Indicates
that financial terms form an important
part of the discussion. Mr. Strauss
and Thomas w. Lamont are expected TO
be appointed members Of the newly Gre
ated Supreme Economic Council but nc
de ignations have been made as yet for
this body, nor has the American MEM
bership on tbhe permanent armlstice
tribunal been announced.

REPORT ON LABOR
PUSHED BY GOMPERS

Paris. Feb. 12.-(By A. P.)-while
President Wilson and the Allied premiers
are engrossed in perfecting the plan for
society of nations and arranging the
new terms TO be imposed upon Ger
many for renewal OF the armistiCe, ex-
piring next Monday. other subjects OF
the greatest importance await consid-
Grafton. 1t is expected that the confer
ence will spend little time discussing
them, however and will pass most OF
them on to the society of nations, when
the latter has been created.
Foremost on this secondary program
are the recommendations of the COM
mission on international labor legisa-
tion. Samuel Gompers, the chairman,
has been pushing the work. 1t Is ex-
pected he will have a report ready for
the conference as soon as It is ready TO
receive II.
There have been difficulties in recon
CLING the diverse views of British and
American labor interests. as each Is
radical in some respects and yet con-
seryative in others. II Is said the diff
lculty in getting together has risen from
the fact that there is no coincidence be-
tween their plans. The British are radI-
Gals where Americans are captious. while
the Americans throw conservatism TO
the winds when considering matters on
which the British are careful.
Meetings are going on today as they
have been almost continuously during
the last few days between men who
come to Paris at the call OF the Allied
leaders TO deal with great financial prob
lens.
The revival OF the spirit Of the old
Paris economic conference. which
planned boycotts and after-the-war dis
ordinations Is sometimes in evidence.
It made its appearance in the desire OF
one country to impose discriminatory
duties on enemy commerce. duriro ~
consideration OF the plan TO make all
International waterways open for all
nations on even terms. This was re-
garded as a violation of one of the
fourteen points" However, the general
acceptance of the principle of interna-
tional control over such waterways has
paved the way for ultimate agreement in
the commission upon n report which will
probably be received with approval by
the Peace Conference or its legatee, the
society OF nations.
