EARLY PEACE IS
URGED CONFERENCE
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Feb. 17-Premier Borden's
speech here last night, in which he
criticized the delay in consummating
peace while the troops are anxious to
return to their homes has made an
undoubted impression here.
The same view is said to be taken
by some Americans, while the British
are not Indifferent to the demands OF
their territorial contingents, which
are supported by the labor element of
England.
Stephen Pichon, in discussing OBJ
stacles to an immediate peace during
a talk with newspaper correspondents
today, said there were many reasons
why the treaty could not be signed at
once, even though the league OF ma
tions project was out of the way.
Many issues that will form the basis
of peace he said, were being careful
ly studied. Among them is the dis
position of many of the fragments
into which the former Austrian en-
pire has been divided and another is
the treatment to be accorded Bull
garia.
The French people, he added, want
peace but they realized at the same
time, the danger of precipitate and un-
satisfactory solutions. He agreed
with Premier Borden that there
should be no unnecessary delay, but
did not share his opinion that time
had been wasted at the conference. A
full discussion of all questions must
be permitted SO that settlements
which might be decided upon would
be unanimous. M. Pichon said that
there was no obstacle to recognition
being extended the new German gov
ernment, but added that the Germans
must be made to realize they have
been beaten, fact, he said, of which
great numbers of them do not seem to
be aware The new boundaries Of

SUFFRAGE SUPPORTED
(By Associated Press,

PARIS. Feb 17-Attention of the
delegates to the peace conference will
focus on Russia today, the supreme
council having decided that 40 the
time allowed for acceptance of the In
vitation to the Prinkipo conference
has expired, something else must be
done.
Winston Spencer Churchill Of Great
Britain. has proposed that the invita-
tion be renewed and that some of the
conditions that made the first invita-
tion unacceptable to most of the DIFF
ferent Russian factions be omitted II
the supreme council accepts this posi-
ton as seems possible. 1t probably
will not insist that the conference be-
held at Prinkipo island. It Is Dos
sible that instead OF. general metlng
of the representatives of Russian fac
tions, direct negotiations may be
initiated, or commissions will be ap-
pointed to get into touch with the OPP
posing elements there.
1t is scarcely expected that special
commissions OF the peace conference.
which are studying questions confided
to them will be able to submit reports
to the full conference this week but 1t
is hoped that some of these reports
will be ready for revision by the SUI
preme council, which is still acting AZ

and the conference.
Suffrage Wins Success.
