OK examining into the merits of the
opinions expressed ny the students in
their petition. but to consider condi.
tions existing i'm the student body and
to discover the cause OF these condi.
tiops.
The trustees have no idea OF per.
mitting the students to dictate who

been duly elected, the trustees have
full confidence in him. and at this
time there is no disposition on the

interests will be safeguarded."

THE conference of the commits sion
have invariably been held at times
when they could not interfere with
the consultation OF those who have
undertaken to formulate the general
conclusions OF the conference with re-
gard to the many other complicated
problems OF peace. So that the men,
bers OF the commission congratulate
themselves on the fact no part of their
conferences have ever interposed any

many is having marked effect on the
attitude OF the population n the occu-
pied area. Whereas, late as last Jan

MONROE DOCTRINE
AND PREPARATIONS
PERSISTENT EFFORTS. MOSTLY
BY AMERICAN DELEGATION
SPEED UP THE WORK.
EFFECT IMPORTANT RESULTS
Certain Amendments Have Been
Agreed Upon That Are Designed to
Meet Criticism at Home.

Paris.-Persistent efforts, principal
ly by the American delegates. but sec
onded for the most part by the British
and Italians. to speed up the work
OF the various councils and commits
sions preparing the details Of the peace
treaty. resulted in better progress dur
ing the closing days OF the past week.
That most important results will be
attained during the present week is
predicted by those who are in a posi-
tion to speak, including the disposi-
tion OF the Monroe doctrine and repa-
rations. the two subjects which have
been the main obstacles to the COM
pletion Of the treaty.
The most stubbornly conte sted sub
ject was that of reparations, and it
is suggested that the delay in this
case cannot be charged up to the
Americans. but rather to the pre-elec-
tion promises Of Premier Lloyd George
and Premier Clemenceau to make the
Germans pay the whole cost OF the
war, which have led to some embar-
rassment, because OF the patent ina
bility OF the enemy to pay more than
a fraction OF the enormous indemnity
that will be required for that purpose.
However, real progress has been
made in bringing about an agreement
on the total amount OF indemnity and
the terms of payment. on a basis of
painstaking studies Of the exact state
OF German industries and resources
at the present time and prospects for
the future made by the financial com.
missions OF the conference.
Although President Wilson has stat.
ed that the league OF nations cove
nant did not delay the progress of the
treaty. because the work OF the other
commissions was equally essential to
It's completion. the subject has been
the subject OF much anxiety and
close study during the past week. The
desire of the American delegates to
safeguard the Monroe doctrine and
70 insert other amendm ents 10 meet
home criticism has temporarily pre.
vented the report OF the revised cove.
nant from being submitted to- a pIen.

DIFFICULT OF ExAGGERAT|ON
Germany Not Now at Our Feet Un-

Paris.-Announcement OF the out
break Of a bolshevist revolution in
Hungary has produced something ap-
preaching panic in the Paris peace con.
ference. The fact itself has surpris.
ed those who have been warned re-
peatdly for the last four months of
facts as contrasted with theories of
the eastern European situation, nor
does the Hungarian incident complete
the list of anxieties. Paris knows that
the bolshevists have conquered Hun
gary II knows also that the Ru.
manian situation is becoming critical
and 1t has almost geenral testimony
from those returning from Poland that
Poland is completely undermined by
bolshevists.
1t would DO difficult to exaggerate
the gravity OF the situation in Europe
as result of four months without de-
cision following the victory of last No.
vember. Then. Germany was ct our
feet, prepared to accept our sentence,
incapable Of resisting It.
Today 1t is the testimony of many
who know Germany that Germany
will sign no treaty Of peace such as
we may sometime formulate. that she
will invite us to occupy her territory,
believing that our armies Of occupa.
ton will be corrupted by bolshevism,
while her property will be protected
from dometic disorder.
AS it stands now. the Paris confer
ence has reached deadlock wholly
comparable with the deadlock which
existed in. the congress OF Vienna that
when Napoleon returned from Elba
Conceivably the news OF ADVANCING
bolshevism will act upon the Paris
conference as the bad news OF the
