He. said he had returned home with
his wife Sunday night about II o'clock

between these positions in the most
amazing fashion. In lamentine the
untimely demise OF the fourteen points
and denounsing the Saar Valley settle
ment he speaks the language Of Mr.. j.
Maynard Keynes and "Ths New Re-
public" On the other hand, he is pro-
Polish to the last degree and feels that
the conference did not assign enough
territory to tho y state.
The author tdkes over the anti
Semitism as we'll as the nationalist
aspirations Of hia Polish friends He
makes the very warranted assertion
that the reports u pogroms in Poland
were devoid Of foundation; and hs
roundly berates the Jews Tor their
reluctance to come under Polish rule
and for their insistence upon the IN
sertion Of clauses protecting their
rights into the tr4aty. II he had been
a little fairer,.a little less prejudiced,
he might have reflected that tho heart

Polish governments (was a rather strong
indictment Of that government.
DR.. Dillon Is at his best in reflect
ing the atmosphere Of Paris during
the conference and In giving intimate
pictures of the chief figures who par
ticipated in the negotiations. His
description Of "1'he City Of the Con-
ference" with its contrasts Of luxury
and poverty. is really a piece Of very
fine writing. He also draws an in
teresting parallel between the peace
conference aud the Congress .f
Vienna and between Czar Alexander
| and President Wilson, whom he
visualizes as benevolent autocrats,
each determined to remake the world
in accordance with his own brand of
moral principles.

cipal Allied powers. To illustrate hia

rather puzzling, because they do not
appear TO be based upon any settled
moral or political philosophy. Toward
the close Of the book he quotes attacks
upon the conference by Nikolai Len.ns,

vative French journals, without distin-
gushing between the motives which In
