BALTIC STATES PLANNING

Associated Press).-The net result OF the
conference Of representatives of Esthonia,
Ltvia, Lithuania and Poland, which has
been in progress here for a week, and
which closed tonight, is the appointment
Of commission to work out a plan for a
defensive alliance against Soviet Russia.
The question of peace with the Bolsheviki
Is said not even to have been discussed.
Whether 1t will be considered later will
depend upon tn lead of the Allies to whom
the participants of the conference, with
tn epossble exception of Lithuania, look
for guidance.
Apparently the differences between
Lithuania and Poland are so irrecon-
cilable that the former will not consent to
be party to an yalliance including Po-
land. 1t is learned that Lithuania at the
outset of the conference proposed an ALI
ance OF Esthonia, Letyia and Lithuania
against Poland. The Esthonians replied
that they were not empowered to con-
sidor such proposal, while the Let's re-
jected it outright. After that Lithuania
did not participate in the conference, ex-

cans will not be pleased at what 1 say IN
this connection q know that they do not
like praise. They prefer stern truths or
even criticism. but, indeed, can only ad-
mire America and sympathize with her
ideals"
Doesn't Blame America for Delay.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Millcrand that
some persons attributed the length Of the
peace negotiations to the attitude Of the
American delegation, and he was asked
if this was his opinion.
That is not true" he said. Sometimes
the American point of view differed from
ours. but the same thing happened with
ether countries, for every country sup
ported different peace programme. We
had to get the English and the Italian
viewpoint as well as that Of American
idealisn.
Some persons believe that the present
delay In American ratification Of the peace
treaty is responsible for a revival OF Ger
man Imperialism. ] do not think that Is
the case, but IL It is, it would but serve
to prove once more what bad psychologists
Americans are.
However, in spite Of difficulties, I am
convinced that America will ratify the
treaty, which will oraw US closer together
and strengthen the bonds OF unity which
already are more than a century old"

Gus Speech.

Not All from the
Fair Sex.

LONDON, Wednesday-(by tho As
sociated Press).-The Prince of Wales was
the guest tonight at large and enthusi-
astic dinner of The Pilgrims. More than
800 persons were present The Prince
made a speech. partly serious partly
humorous With some modesty he de-
livered personal touches here and there,
and had clamorous reception.
The Prince reaffirmed his intention to
revisit America. particularly the Middle
West and Far West. saying that the best
proof that one had enjoyed a visit was
his earnest desire to repeat it. He re-
marked. IT am still receiving large
amount of mail from the United States.
and not all of it from the fair SEX
which provoked the great merriment.
Another spontaneous touch was greatly
cheered. Referring to the chairman's re-
mark that the Prince. after his tour, was
again domiciled as a citizen OF England,
Wales said: IT hope am domciled as
citizen of the British Empire
The Prince also referred to his status
as a freeman of the city of New York.
Wearing the broad blue ribbon of the
Garter and his war medals. the Prince
shook hands with all the guests as they
arrived.
'My right hand is in pretty bad con-
dition from handshaking; hope the Pil-
grirns won't mind If I use my left" he
remarked to the chairman, Lord Des-
borough, exhibiting his right hand, which
was red and swollen. 1t was noted, how
ever. that to the older men he gave his
right hand, while to the rank and file he
gave his left
The Prince spoke lengthily. with as
surance and ease and in strong voice,
which surprised his hearers. Beside Lord
Desborough, the speakers were the Earl
of Reading, Ambassador Davis and the
Lord High Chancellor. Rear Admiral
Harry S. Knapp, commander Of the Amer
lean naval forces in European waters,
lsat at the right of the Prince. both sn1ok-

an agreement on that subjectr' he was
asked.
Still Stuck ON Sand Bar.
mo. guess we are pretty firmly stuck
there for WHILE"
rs the six-to-one reservation still on
the sand bar?'
Yes but we have got few spars out"
said the Senator over his shoulder. as he
hurried away.
The author Of the six-to-one reservation
is Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin. He
started out as one of the mild reserva-
tion.sts'' last summer, but he has
gradually become one Of the most i'm
movable of the Republicans.
The reservation to Article X involves
three propositions
First-President Wilson insists that
nothing be done to impair what he calls the
moral obligation to protect the terri
torial integrity and political independence
of the league members, although he is
willing to copcede that there is no legal"
obligation.
Second-The middle ground Democratic
Senator's are willing to go little further
and stipuate in n reservation that the
United States shall assume no obligation,
moral or legal, to use its army or navy to
give such protection. leaving only eco
nomic pressure or boycott as the weapon
to be used.
Third-Senator Lodge and the Republi-
cans generally insist that there be no OBJ
legation whatsoever.
II will not pc sufficient for the middle
group alone to swing to the position of
Senator Lodge. Everybody except tho
fourteen 'irreconcilables" must go all the
way to furnish enough votes for ratfica-
ton. The outlook seems hopeless without
a complete Democratic revolt from the
White House leadership, which is some
thing that is often talked of in the news
papers but has not yet been seriously
considered by many Of the Democratic
Senators themselves.
There is good reason for the belief that
neither Senator Lodge nor Senator Hitch
cock expects an agreement on reserva-
ltion programme that will command the
necessary two-thirds vote Of the Senate,
but that they are making every show OF
effort in that direction in order to demon
|strate conclusively to President Wilson
and the country the real situation.

Some of His Troops.

PEKING. Friday, JAM 1G (by the Asso-

eral Semenoff. commander in chief of the
All-Russian armies. are reported to have
occurred at the Trans-Siberan Railway
stations of Baikal, Kaltukshaia and MISC
vaia, in the Lake Baikal region. The
Czechs, it is said. do not regard the Sc
menoff menace as serious, owing to the
rsrnallness of his forces.
The Semenoff troops, under command OF
General Skipitroff, have been dissolved
and General Skipitroff arrested by order
of Major General Jules Janin, commander
of the Czechs. This action was taken be-
