May Find Way Out of Difficulty With
 Dutch Officials

Paris, Feb. 14.-The notes to Ger many and Holland approved yester- day at the meeting of the supreme allied council in London. constitute an important step toward concilia- ton, the Matin believes.
 It says the note sent to Holland lecognlzes the possibility of Hol- 1and's refusal to surrender former emperor William on condition his residence is removed to territory outside Europe, the Dutch East In- dies, for instance,
 me note sent to Berlin, accord ing to the Matin, demands extra aitlon only of Germans charged with the commission of direct crimes, and admits the difficulties Germany would encounter in attempting to surrender those whose responsibilitv IS more distant and general. The Mote' however, is asserted to remark .nat any leniency shown in this res. pect cannot be looked upon as pre- cedent which Germany may use to .iansgress other clauses of the Yer sa:iies treaty. It is pointed out that snis IS an isolated case which shows the conciliatory attitude of the allies in the interest of Euro pean peace.

WOMEN ARE URGED
 TO 60 TO HEART OF BOTH THE PARTIES
Mrs. Catt, in Keynote Speech, Declares Women Must
 Affiliate

Chicago, Feb. 14-Elected perma nent convention chairman of the Congress of the League of Wo- man Voters, meeting in connection with the last annual gathering Of the American Woman Suffrage associa- tion, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt to- day outlined policies of the new or ganization and declared women should affiliate with political parties
 Mrs. Catt's keynote came at the conclusion of the first session of the new league at which organization work was begun.
 Today's meetings closed with the ratification celebration banquet to- workers addressed the two thousand delegates.
 ''There seems to be some misun. derstanding regarding the League of Women Voters," Mrs. Catt declared "There is evident opposition, largely political
 "Persons interested in enrolling members in their political parties are making rather cutting criticisms They think the league will keep the women out of politics. That must not be. For 60 years we have wait ed for political parties to give us the vote. No state has given it until the political parties had consented.
 "Are we going to continue to peti- tion them as we always have done If so, what was the use of getting the vote?
 "The only way to get things is from the inside of the political par ties. There are inner circles in the parties where you will not be want ed, but it is just there that you must go. There is danger, too, that you will be too timid, too conserva- tive. If you are going to trail along five years behind the parties, it would be better that you never took up politics. Be five years ahead"
 Mrs. Catt said she had been fight ing for suffrage 30 years. q have seen the first lap of the race" she said, "but can only look forward to the conclusion of the next. Young women must succeed me-"
 Only a start was made on consti- tuition of the league today. Affairs of the league, it was decided, would be in charge of 10 national directors elected for one-year term. Sev- en directors would represent di- visions of the. country and three would be elected at large.
 The board would elect chairman vice chairman and a secretary and also the treasurer of the league of women voters and would meet an nually in each of the seven districts A national manager also will be chosen "at sufficient salary to get the best available talent."f
 Following the morning session, at which a resolution praising Will H Hays. chairman of the republican na- tional committee for aid rendered the suffragt cause, was adopted Democratic adherents, especially del egates from southern states, com plained that the convention had been packed with republicans.
