Council OF the League came up the

drive for representation and could
not be denied. Thus Ton Feb. 13)
the plan Of a Council composed OF
five great powers and four small
powers was adopted with the fur
ther proposal that any small power.

when its interests are directly af-
fected," should "sit as a member"
Thus. small powers in the League
as organized are admitted to the
Council under two provisions-a
regular minority representation and
a special representation when their
interests are involved. This Coun-
ell, with the Assembly. made up OF

work of the League.
The question, much discussed in
America, Of representation of the
British Dominions in the League

The President had thus got his

own people (Eeb. 15) he had to meet
one other great and vital problem

the beginning.

two reasons for this policy:
First. they had stern and sweeping
terms to demand, including the per-
manent economic shackling and flu
ture military control of Germany.
and these could be imposed without
the threat of large armies afoot
ready to march at once to Berlin.
The French always wanted a mill
tary peace.
Second. the more extreme French
militarlsts, as Foch proposed in the
very first days of the conference and
afterward urged repeatedly, wanted
to use these vast armies-inCluding
the 100000 fresh young soldiers
from America--to march across
Germany and subdue Russia. He

Of the Americans to mitigate ex-
treme demands, TO get reasonable
settlements ts-settiements that would
stand after the war. and not lead
quickly to new wars Of revenge and
reprisal.
Consequently the President strug-
sled. at every turn. to get as quickly
as possible out OF the atmosphere
Of military force and away from
control Of the generals. He fought
the whole French programme for
the economic Gripping OF Germany,
for the permanent military control
of German industry. for the use Of
the allied armies against Russia.
The French proposed, in discussing
the monthly renewal of the armis-
tice, which was due to come about
the time Wilson was sailing for
America. TO expand the terms and
add new conditions which could be
imposed only by the threat TO use
the armies. Wilson-and Bliss--were
utterly against this. They argued
that an agreement had been made
with Germany on Nov. II and that
they could not, in honor. change II.
Both were also against the idea Of a
military peace.

UNDESIRABLE ALIENS
REFUSED CITIZENSHIP
District Of Columbia Judge with
holds Final Papers.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Refused
final citizenship papers by Justice
Bailey of the District of Columbia Su-
preme Court, seven aliens are pro-
testing at being the first examples OF
unsuccessful applicants for any other
reason than failure to pass the re-
quirsd examination
The men were shown to have used
their citizenship in other countries
as a means o1 avoiding service in the
United States armed forces during the
war. and it was proved that none of
them served in the countries OF their
origin. The judge held that men
who would serve neither their own
country. because of residence in this.
nor this country, because of citizen
ship in other countries, were not fit
to become citizens of the United
States.
Legislative comment on the action
of the Judge has been very favorable,
and some Senators have pointed out
the Importance of other jurists TAX
ing equal care and pains in granting
final citizenship papers. In this con-
nection quotations have been made
from report of the House of Rep
'ntatives Committee on Immigra-
tion and Naturalization which show
the importance of safeguarding citi-
zenship in the United States. Ac-
cording to the report, survey of 460
State institutions, with a total Of
210,S35 inmates, found 21,1 per
cent of this fifth of a million in
mates to be of foreign birth. and
44.O9 per cent either of foreign birth
or having at least one parent of for
eign birth. Institutional manage
ment thus dsvotes at least one-third
of total expenditures to the foreign
stock which has arrived in the Unit
ed States within this generation. II
the States on the average spend FL
per cent of their total revenues for
maintaining inadequates. about z per
cent of the total revenue is scent in
caring for degenerate and dependent
foreign human stock.
