ALLIES PREPARE TO
EFFECT PEACE PACT
PRESIDENT WILSON MAY CALL
LEAGUE MEETING AS WAS
ORIGINALLY PLANNED.
Notice Of First Meeting OF Council 70
be Given Soon Following RatifI-
cation Exchanges. = Premier
CIemenceau May Preside.

Paris.-Informal notice of the first
meeting Of the council Of the league
of nations will probably be given day
or two after the exchange of ratifica-
tions of the treaty of Versailles. Am
bassador Wallace cabled the state de-
partment ia Washington to this effect
after Monday mornings meeting Of
the supreme council. which had the
question under consideration.
II is still an open question whether
the formal call for the meeting shall
be issued by President Wilson as orig
inally provided for, or whether In
view Of the fact that the United
States has not ratified the treaty the
call shall be issued by Premier Glenn
enceau. the president of the peace con-
ference.
Under the terms of the peace treaty
Germany was to furnish by December
81 q statement regarding u number of
different questions dealt with by the
treaty. As the exchange of ratifica-
lions Is not yet definitely in sight.
however, the council considered the
possibility of extending the time for
this statement.
The conditions under which Ger
many Is to turn over the light cruisers
demanded as part of the reparation for
the destruction of the Scapa Flow
fleet also were discussed by the coun-
ell.
The difficulty arising from the fact
that the United States has not rati-
fled the treaty ana President Wilson
consequently will not be able to issue
an official convocation will be sur
mounted, according to the councils
plan, by President Wilson issuing an
unofficial call.
1t Is considered here impossible that
the first meeting Of the council will
be held In Washington, as originally
provided. The impression here is
that the members of the council will
be asked to come to Paris.

PLANNED TO ENTER WAR ON
SIDE OF CENTRAL POWERS IN
1918, 1T rs ALLEGED
Was Restrained Only by Naval At
tache at Madrid. IL Is Asserted.
Had knowledge of Spain's
Friendship for Huns

Washlngton.-The remarkable dis
closure that Spain was about TO en-
ter the war against the United States
and the allies In the spring of 1918,
and was prevented only by the efforts
of the American naval attache and
his associates i'm Madrid, was made
Saturday i'm letter from Rear Ad-
miral Benton c. Decker. who Is now
In charge of the Seventh Naval dis
tricts with headquarters at Key West,
Florida.
Admiral Decker was the United
States naval attache at Madrid at the
time of the great German offensive in
1918 and his letter contained declin-
alton of the navy cross awarded him.
At the same time it revealed the great
post-armistice sensation.
In connection with the disclosure
of Admiral Decker, 1t was revealed off
cially that when the submarine cam
paign off the Spanish coast in the At
lantic, the Bay of Biscay and the Med
iterranean was ut its height. the al
lied governments. including the United
States, dispatched note to Madrid
calling attention to the apparent ease
with which tepradatiOns were COM
mitted on, allied shipping. Soon after
the transmission Of this note Spain ad-
dressed communication to Germany,
emphasizing the fact that she was a
neutral, and she followed this up by
interning some of the German under
water craft.
These events apparently confirm the
opinion of Admiral Decker that the at
titude of Spain, at least Of the Span
ish court, was Of extreme danger to the
cause Of the allies, and likewise one
which took little account of the sup.
posed position of neutrality which the
nation had declared.
American officer that he had positive
knowledge that the Spanish foreign Of
fee, in March, 1918, was in favor OF
having Spain cast her luck with Ger
many. England, however, 1t was
learned, suspected the Spanish foreign
office from the very beginning of the
war. One of the most sensational
episodes at the outset of the war wa.
the seizure Of the steamship Kroon
land at Gibraltar. This vessel car
ried large cargo Of copper. and al
though this was to have been landed
at Spanish port, 1t was seized by tn,
British authorities on the theory tina
the ultimate destination of the meta
was to be Germany.
Had Spain entered the war on tn,
side Of Germany during the crucia
days Of 1918, 1t Is doubtful whether tn,
allies would have been victorious, and
at all events, whether the struggle
would now be over.

ger Service.

WashingtOn.-The controversy be-
tween the shipping board and British
officials over possession of seven Ger
man liners used to bring back Ameri-
can troops and now held idle in New
York harbor ended abruptly on Decem-
Der rs with the announcement that
President Wilson had ordered the ves-
sells turned over to Great Britain. The
transfer will be made without delay
and the ships assigned to passenger
service on British lines.
No explanation of the order was
made, beyond the statement that the
state department had found there was
no warrant for holding the ships now
that the object for which they were
assigned by the interallied shipping
commission to American use-the re-
turn Of the American army-was &C
cOmplished. The eighth ship Of the
group, the Imperator, has already
been turned over to the British and
is being operated by the Cunard line.
The unexpected action of the ship
ping board last September in refusing
to deliver the ImperatOr to the British
was understood to be connected with
efforts to induce the return to the
Standard Oil company of twelve tank
steamers formerly under the German
flag. but now held in British custody
in the Firth Of Forth by order Of the
supreme council.
The state department took the po-
stitch, however, that these were sep.
arate questions, and must be dealt with
separately, the United States carrying
ont its obligation to turn the German
ships over to the British.
