NEW CRISIS CALLS
WILSON To PARIS
Developments at the Peace Table
Change Wilson's Plans.
P0sTPONEs TRIP TO NORTH
Believed Trouble Is Serious-Some
Say Peace Ship Without a Helms
man Is Just Driftng-Bal-
four Gives CleW.

Washington, March 3.-President
Wilson's decision to go Immediately to
Paris upon his arrival in France, post
pOning his visit to the devastated
areas of France and Belgium until af-
ter he goes to Paris, made at the ur-
gent request of Colonel House, is re-
garded here as being significant of the
arrival of crisis in the peace confer
ence.
The White House is silent on the
subject. 1t was said at the executive
office that President Wilson's COM
munication with Colonel House had
been direct and that other officials
were uniformed on the subject. No
precise explanation was Forthcoming
as to what had happened that was Of
such vital Importance as to cause the
president to defer his lOng-cOntem-
plated visit to the devastated areas.
Ship of Peace Drifting.
man prominent in public life, but
who is not partisan to the admins
tratiOn or to the league of nations
plan. said that the suggestion had
come to him that the league of ma
lions ship was without helmsman
with President Wilson away, and that
crisis had probably arisen which
made the presidents speedy return to
Paris urgent-in other words, he said,
those who were trying to evolve a
league Of nations were without lead
er and the ship was drifting.
Regardless of the nature of the mat
terS that are so urgent as to move Col
onel House to urge the president to
change his plans and go direct to
Paris, it is regarded as certain that
crisis in the work of the peace con-
ference has arrived.
Bafour Gives CIew.
The statement of the British secre-
tary for foreign affairs. Mr.. Balfour,
is regarded as significant. Mr.. Bal
four is quoted as saying that what is
going on in America, referring to dis
cussion Of the proposed league of ma,
tons, is more important for the sue
cess Of a general peace than what was
being done in Paris.
Opponents of the league of nations
plan say so far as American indOrse
ment is concerned, President Wilson
will be able to carry back little salts
faction to Paris. His return here
has been the signal for attacks on the
plan that have not been limited to
members of the ODDOSitiOr party and
with its leaders most vehement ir
their denunciatiOn of the plan they
say the president may be forced to ex

Chinese Seclusion.

So successfully has China succeed

within her borders where Christian
