LLOYD GEORGE WILL
VISIT OCCUPIED ZONE
TO LOOK INTO MILITARY
PREPARATIONS.
German Propagadists Are Ex-
tremely Active-Big Four
Postpones Meeting.
(By John Edwin Nevin.

tDy JOl1ll tI4bNii 'AtNNi'i'J
Paris, May 16.--Q. N. S.)-The
deepest interest is displayed here in
Premier Lloyd Georges visit to the
occupied area of Germany today. Cs-
tensibly the British prime minister
went into Germany to bid farewell to
the Welsh troops returning to their
homes. But his trip has larger and
more important bearing. While he
is in the zone of occupation Lloyd
George will obtain for the big four
complete data from Marshal Foch,
Gcn. Plumer, commanding the Brit
ish army of occupation, and Lieut.
Gen. Liggett, commanding the Ameri-
can army of occupation, regarding
their military preparations to enforce
the blockade and push on to Ger
many in case Germany eventually re-
fuses to sign the terms.
Because Of Lloyd Georges absence
the big four did not meet today.
President Wilson received number
of small delegates; the Italian and
Jugo- Slav leaders held conferences
on the Adriatic problems. committees
worked on the Austrian treaty, which
is nearing completion, and subcom-

man counter proposals handed to the
allies two days ago.
The latest advices from Germany
declare that the former Junkers are
now dominating in discussions of the
peace treaty. While the social dem
ocrats are advocating sending In
structions to these delegates 10 with
draw and refuse to sign it is still the
majority opinion here that the Ger
mans, following sharp protestationso
will eventually accept the peace
treaty as the allies handed it to them.
Some peace leaders, however, pelieve
the Germans will refuse to sign and
that the allies will be forced 10 adopt
coercive measures.
All delegates to the peace confer
ence realize that German propagan-
dists are again extremely active.
There is no question here that the
pronunciamento against the treaty
issued by the congress or women at
Zurich, in which women of all coun-
tries participated, was part or the
German propaganda scheme.
The result of this agitation is tnat
the allied and associated powers are
taking steps to tighten tnerr ring.

dent Taft and Col. House to help
represent the United States in the
league.
At the capitol. Senators bent on
amending the covenant in its present
form, which Senator Knox, repub-
lican. of Pennsylvania, described as
"suicidal." declared thai II the presi-
dent is to exercise the executive ap-
pointiye power in designating whom
the American representatives in the
league are to be, the senate should
determine what functions those rep
resentatives are to have when it was
called upon to confirm their appoint
ment.
1t was also suggested by the same
senator's that each American repre-
sentative should be appointed for
specific term of years, instead of for
an indefinite period, and should be
more subject to the senate than the
customary American diplomatic rep
resentative Is.
Another point raised was, would the
'appointment of Col. House and other
close adherents of the president be
acceptable to the senate. and would
not the president and the republican
majority in the senate be unable 10
agree upon both the personnel ana
the status of American representa-
tion in the league?
When the attention of democratic
senators was called to this possible
phase of the situation they once more
recalled with renewed emphasis the
possibilities Of the presidents veto
power IL pitted against the repuh-
lican senatorial majority of two,
veto power which was regarded as
more than likely to determine the re-
suit Of the repeated friction already
anticipated between the White House
and the Sixty-sixth, republican, con-
trolled. congress after the latter gets
down to business.

mapping out a tentative legislative
program to be submitted to tomorrow

majority In the lower chamber.
Among the things agreed upon by the
steering committee was that the pro-
cedure to be followed by the republican

chairman of one of the house elections
committees will, under the plan, make
formal request after the house meets
on Monday that Berger "step aside"
Under the rules Berger would then be
required to permit his seat to remain

voted on that report. The sergeant

would fight any move to prevent him

Protests against the isolation Of Italy
