LONDON, June 3, The chaperone iS rcappcaring in London, after more than four years of absence because Of the war. American women, the society leaders say, are responsible, becaus" they want to see London, and inde pendent and self reliant as they are they do not want to see it without the assurance they will be well chaperon- ed.
 Tho chapcrone, once a well estab- liShed institution in England, lost her calling when women went in for war work. Many a young girl who had over vcntured from home without the guild ing hand of a chaperone took to driv- ing an ambulance. while others wcr" installed in the "WaacS" the "Raffs' or some one of the many other wo~ mems organizations which had to do with prosecution of the war. These vigorous young women had no use fo.' chaperoncS.
 The American women who want chaperones also are warworkers, Red Cross, Young Women's Christian As sociation aids and others who are hero. They, too, are self reliant and indc- pendent but when they doff their uni. forms and go out to see London or spend a part of their very little lei7- ure time in the gaieties of the city. they feel they ought to subscribe to the convention.

PARIS, Feb. 13.-At the first meet
ing of the Permanent International
Socialist Parliament in Berne. the
question considered was the appointing
of an international commission to in
vestlgate the Bolshevik situation, in
accordance with the decision of the
international Congress, which has just
concluded its sittings.
A commission of eleven members
was selected. 1t is composed of To-
maso, for Argentine; lie Ferma, for
Finland; Buchinger, for Hungary;
Jean Longuet and Paul Faure. for
France; Ramsay Macdonald, for Great
Britain; kautsky or Hergering, for
Germany; Fritz Adler or Bauer, the
Austrian Foreign Minister, for Ger
man-Austria. In addition there will
be the Italian delegates, yet undesig-
mated, and Roden Buxton and Bechyne.
respectively, the English and Bohemian
secretaries.
Will Interview Lenine
Wireless communication will be es-
tabllshed with the Bolsheviki and
Lenlnes permission requested for this
commission to proceed to Russia. At
the same time Lenine's views will be
ascertained regarding the inclusion of
Russian delegates on the commission
About twenty nations have appointed
two delegates each to sit on the Berne
Permanent Socialist Commission, (which
tor the moment has resolved itself into
u committee to draft a report on the
proceedings Of the congress. The
permanent body also will work out
territorial problems on the lines indi-
Gated by the congress.
Some difference of opinion still ex-
lists among the members as to whether
the permanent Socialist body should
enlarge its functions into real In
ternational Parliament or be content
with a simple executive activity.
Arthur Henderson has been charged
congress and lay them before Lloyd

Special Cable Serrice
PARIS, Feb. 13.-Italians in Paris
predict an unhappy effect of the Ameri
can proposal to prohibit immigration
for four years, saying that unless it is
modified the good will between Italv
and America will be seriously lessened.
Sllvano Fasulo, vice-mayor of Naples
and a member of the Labor Mission
which has just returned from the
united States, suggests that America
admit ablebodied Allies who have seen
actual service in the trenches. In the
case of Italy such men bear special
decoration, easily distinguishable.
Fasulo believes that not more than
$4,000 such Italians wish to 90 to
America. He is comforting with the
Americans in Paris, pointing out that
there is a shortage of coal and raw
material which has brought about a
deplorable condition in Italy and it
would be cruel to add thereto a ban
which Italians would consider an af-
front.
