COUNCIL WILL NOW
 CONSIDER REFUSAL
 10 YIELD EX-kAISER
VIEW APPEARS TO BE THAT CHIEF ASPECT OF CASE IS LEGAL ONE POLISH MINISTER CALLS ATTENTION TO
 BOLSHEVIK ACTIVITIES.

Paris, Jan. 26-The reply to the refusal of the Dutch gov ernment to comply with the demand of the Allies for the surrender of former Emperor William of Germany was the first subject taken up at the initial meeting this morning Of the council of ambassadors, created to carry on the unfin- ished routine work of the su- preme council of the peace conference which disbanded last week.
 It was decided that the French legal experts available should go in- to ali the aspects of the case and prepare the reply, which probably will be submitted for approval of the council at the beginning of next week.
 The discussion in the council did not disclose the trend of opinion among the members further than that it appeared to be the view that the legal phase of the question had become the chief one.
 The council was presided over by Premier Milletand. Hugh c. Wal lace the American ambassadors was present with the other members of the body.
 After disposing for the day of the extradition question the council de- cided to give the representatives of the Jugo Slavs four days additional time to reply regarding the proposed compromise or the Adriatic question, including the disposition of Plume. This carries the question along until Wednesday.
 The council received a letter from Stanislas Patek, the Polish Minister to the possibility of a strong ag- gressive movement by the Bolshevilzi against Polish territory and rec ommending that plan be adopted for defensive measures. The letter asked that the question be called to the attention of Marshal Foch. The council will give the letter further consideration.
 The council also had before it a note from the German p1enipotentiar- ies raising certain points regarding the makeup of the boundary commiS- sions provided for by the treaty of Versailles. The questions were raised by the Germans because of the non ratification of the Treaty by the United States and the consequent lack Of the American members on the commissions as provided for by the peace document. The absence of Americans also raised a question as to the presidency of the commissions to control the p1ebescite in the Tes- chan territory, on the Czecho-Slovak- Polish frontier, It was pointed out that the French member would act, pending the qualification of the Amer lean member through the ratification of the pact, should such action be taken by the United States govern ment-

SAYS vEHICULAR TRAFFIC IS CAUSE
 OF MANY DELAYS
Both Trolleys and Jitneys Unable to Cope With
 Snowfilled Streets.

Traffic in Bridgeport today moved by fits and starts, both trol1eys and jitneys seeming almost unable to cope with the snow filled streets and bit terly cold weather. Trolley service during the early morning hours was badly disrupted and although no seri- ous delay occurred at any particular point, Manager Goodwin of the Con- necticut Co.,, stated that delay was prevalent throughout the system.
 The fault. however, he stated, was not with the trolley company. but rather with vehicu1ar traffic which was using the rails instead of the sides of the streets. Delay in vehicular traffic naturally caused delay on the trolley schedule and it was not long before the entire system was affected.
 Snow blows operated by the trolley company have removed the snow from the trolley tracks throughout the city and piled 1t to one side. It is so deep in most places that jiIneys and other vehicles have to drive in the tracks.
 Manager Goodwin also stated that in his opinion there were less jitneys on the streets this morning than usual, probably because of the intense cold, and this absence threw an added load on the Connecticut Co.
 Captain Charles Wheeler of the Traffic department said that all of his available men were out on tho street endeavoring to keep traffic going at the busy points in the city. Captain Wheeler also blamed the snow filled streets for traffic conditions, pointing out that with vehicles and trollegs using the same paths confusion and delay were bound to occur.

Tn. Bitterness of the c.mu.io,

When the presidential campaign was begun not quite four months ago it gave promise of being a clean and dignifed contest Yet it quickly degen- erated into that was far from dignified and it kept descending until it became the dirtest one the country has suffered in a generation
 Argument way personal vituperation villification and is ending in downright organized lying So much bitterness has been engendered that 1t is not likely to pass away with the close of the campaign, but will probably find outbreaks con gress to the obstruction of legislation which will be required to restore the country to a normal basis
 In the present mental state of the leaders of democracy the Republicans who be in control of the administration ana congress will not have that earnest cooperation of the Democrats bringing the country back to peace footing. At every turn they may expect to be opposed by the remnant of Wilson ism, which, small may after March 4 will be obstructive force.
 The experience of the country in the last three months and especially in the last six weeks suggests that our presidential campaigns frequent and points again to the desirabity of a change under which we should have single presidential term of longer period, say six, eight ten years
 We cannot. though, this year attribute any busi- depression the uncertainty which attends the result of the presidential campaigns when business must wait upon the probability of changes of policy There has any uncertainty as to the re- suit of the present campaign. If business has come to hesitation it has been to await not knowledge of what to but the improved conditions which would follow the adoption of new policies
