Secrets of the Peace Conference

was settled at few sittings. On
January Is it was decided to con-
suit the press representatives them
selves, who very naturally wanted
to be admitted everywhere. But on
the 18th it was decided that they
should be admitted only to the full
meetings of the conference,
and on the same day an eloquent
document, forcibly summarizing the
various arguments, appealed to the
common sense of the press to resign
itself to the decision. On the other
hand, the members of the delegation
were invited not to convey personal
information to the press. The daily
communique of the secretariat was
to be the only valid statement.
Dropped the Conferences
''The dice were thrown. The con-
ference was to carry on it's difficult
task amidst the Indifference or the
hostility of the press. Mr.. Balfour.
M. Pichon and myself endeavored to
mitigate the impression caused by
this decision by receiving on fixed
days the representative of the
press. But in March, discussion
having become more intense and diff
ferences having become evident on
important questions, we were re-
quested by the Supreme Council to
abandon these receptions.
'1n April the question cropped up
whether the conditions of peace
should be made public before or at
the time of their being handed to the

~ century of existence the gray
walls of Auburn prison have
been set at naught by wom-
en-. Only one man, it is said, has
ever got away and escaped recap
ture, but it was left for Irene Miley,
a frail wisp of humanity, and
Mary Smith, sturdy Amazon,
to be the first representatives Of
their sex to get beyond the steel
gates. The fact that their freedom
was of short duration does not de-
tract from. the remarkable nature
of their feat in escaping.
Irene Miley and Mary Smith,
morbid, Respondent and hopeless,
established a precedent when, on the
night of May z, they emerged from
the bleak prison into the warm,
fresh air of Central New York.
Their brief breath of freedom was
brought to an abrupt close in SYRIA
cuse on Saturday night, when, tired
and hungry, they fell into the arms
of Syracuse policeman.

criticized decision to drop Mr.. Will
