lando. President Wilson has not
changed his original view regarding
the dispute between the Italians and
Jugoslays. In other words. he will
keep strictly to the application OF
the principles laid down in his four
teen points, excluding all merely
strategic reasons.
This steadfastness on Mr.. Wilson's
part is the more interesting as II
presageS the attitude he may take re-
garding the French demands for the
inclusion of the Sarre basin. in Lor-
raile, and the naturalization of the
left bank of the Rhine.
1t has been the hope of the Italian
liberals that some compromise would
be reached on the subject of Flume.

The proper formula for the solution
of this dilemma has as yet TO be dis

be justified in asking MIR. Wilson to
produce this formula himself.

NEW ARMY or RUSSIA
NOW MORE IN EVIDENCE


1RkUTSK, Siberia, via Picking.
China, February 6-Russia's new
army is becoming more evident We
have seen men drilling in many cities
and today We passed companies of
recruits marching on the frozen river
near the railroad singing Justify.
Men like these are part of the forces
that are winning victories in western
Siberia. All are young fellows from
nineteen to twenty-one, and there
are almost no old soldiers among
them. They lack arms and equip
ment. and for that reason their value
is somewhat problematicai.
Numerous Russian soldiers are now
coming back from the prison camps
in Germany The bolsheviki tried 20
enlist these returning men, who are
nearly all privates. Few officers at
tempt to pass the bolsheviki lines,
fearing death. Many of the old Of
ficers, therefore, are joining Gen.
Denikine's army, in south Russia
Irkutsk is quiet and orderly. The
heavily guarded public buildings bear
abundant marks of bolshevik shoot
ing.

RARIS, February S.-As the days of
President Wilson's visit to European
soil draw TO close. the status of the
negotiation for the worlds peace can
not be expressed in definite terms. be-
cause the atmosphere is still one of
expectation rather than of perform
ance. Nevertheless. the spirit which
has thus far been fundamental is re-
Earded by every delegation. without
exception, as certain to bring about an
absolute agreement among the asso
ciated powers.
Mr.. Wilson will take back to Ameri-
ca a draft for the league of nations
which will have the approval of the
principal powers. In so far as he in
sisted that the league be discussed
first. Mr.. Wilson won his point AS
for the league itself, the early oppo-
sition treated more of form than the
idea, and 1t is now recognized that the
one strong feature of the league is
that it is an inStrumeutuality about to
be created upon which all agree rather
than the lukewarm Hague conventions
for which the individual nations made
specific reservations.

Would Create a Commission.

ssTherefore, I recommend that Con-
press create a commission on inlmi-
Grafton composed of the secretaries
of Labor, Commerce and Agriculture,
or three other commissioners empow-
cred absolutely to regulate immigra-
ton. For example, the country needs
half a million women for domestic
service and similar employment. The
commission offcially would make the
need known, and then after the supply
nj the need has been completed pre-
cautions would be taken preventing
further immigration creating an UNI
desirable surplus of such labor
similar arrangements in number
of other classes or imm igrants de-
sired would be made, the S: eau,ship
fication pI evening them from cen
viewing to our shores more than the
prescri he'd number. In times of indus
trial depression immigration could be
wholly suspended"
Mr. Howe was asked whether he
thought that the freeing of long sub
ject peoples and their establishment
of self-goyerning nations would be
likely to prevent the flow OF cmigrants
or even to attract emigration by the
development of industry under con-
ditions of peace and good order. He
was inclined to regard emig grafton as
strictly an economic problem NOT
greatly Influenced by patriotism or
politics. AS fast as the new freedom
tends to give acceptable living condi-
lions IL will check the desire to emf
CRATE, but beyond this IL is unlikely
to prevent the people from seeking
letter fortunes Ia 3skef lands.
