Premiere Opinions Worry Frnnce.
Paris, Feb. 1I.-Growing indica-
opinion between Premiers Millerand,
Lloyd George and Nittt caused con-
siderable -uneasiness in official cir
cles here today. Observers here
pointed out that parliamentary and
public utterances OF each OF the
premiers recently showed marked
difference of opinion as to the
allied attitude toward Germany and
Russia.
The interview with Matthias, Err
berger, German minister Of finance,
in which he declared at least one
of the allies seemed inclined to
support Germany in her attitude Of
ref1sal to surrender her war guilty
apparently was confirmed by Nitti's
parliamentary declaration that 1t
was now necessary to forget the
enemy's monstrous crimes and work
for sincere collaboration between
yictors and vanquished."
officials also said they resented
the fact that during the peace con-
ference France only followed Brit
ish wishes when she agreed to, the
clause providing punishment of the
war guilty to show allied solidarity.
There is an equally apparent di-
Sergence of opinion among the
premiers on the Russian question.
it was said. Nitti's declaration that
resumption of normal relations be-
tween Italy and Russia is most i'm
portant was taken to mean that
he will support Lloyd George in the
British premier's demand for re-
sumption OF trade with Russia.
Because of the conference of the
allied premiers, scheduled to start
here today, the premier's state
ments on 'the Russian situation
were subjected to close scrutiny.
The French have openly eN-
pressed their disapproval of the
British plan to resume trade with
the Russian co-operatives. declar-
ing such a step must result in
eventual political recognition of the
Soviets. To such a course, Premier
Millerand has said, France is un-
alterably opposed.

il is not encountered frequently

1t is to be regretted that every fan
cannot at some time be the umpire
in a ball game of some Importance. A
game in which there would be keen
rivalry. and the outcome of great
Importance to both teams, would be
the best to educate the fan in the mys-
teries and troubles of the arbitrator.
1t would also be good thing if every
umpire would occasionally attend an
important game as a spectator. The
experience would prove especially
beneficial if the umpire. as spectator.
