ence OF principle. Colonel House
never really seemed to see the great
stark lines OF the conflict or realize
at the time what, by these sinuous
moves, the 'old order" was trying to
accomplish. He never intended for
moment to be disloyal to the Presi-
dent; thought he was serving the
cause OF speedy peace: sent the
President long cablegrams as TO what
was going on at Paris. But the real
effect of his action here. as later in
the conference, was to smudge over
and confuse everything, and in ac-
ton to serve exactly the contrary
purpose from the one the President
had in view. This judgment is based
not alone upon the writer's own con-
clusions growing out of intimate per-
sonnl contact at Paris with both
men, but upon a careful survey OF
the entire record Of tho Peace Con-
| ference.
1t was the dispatches from Colonel
House which gave the President the
first inkling of the course Of affairs
at Paris-and no doubt sharpened
the challenge in his great speech of

the German settlements made ahead
OF the Austrian. Here arc the com

(t'eb. 22):
m. Pichon agreed that Mr.. Bal
four had very correctly interpreted
NJ. Clemenceau's views. NJ. Clcmen-
ceau held that the whole OF the pre-
liminary peace terms should be
pressed forward with as little delay
as possible in order TO take full ad-
vantage of the present situation in
Germany. In this opinion M. Glenn
enceau was supported by Marshal
Foch and his military advisers.

to see that the conference intended

President Not Kept Informed.
The Presidents information about
the progress of events during his alb
sence was fragmentary. but 1t was
speedily completed upon his return
on the 14th of March. The Council
had scheduled a meeting on the 18th
to consider the now complete (but
unaccepted) military terms. Will
son. refusing to be rushed into dec.-
sions, asked for a postponement and
began a careful study OF the comph-
Gated draft Of those terms. We have
that draft now among his documents
with his own significant and vital
notations on the margin. One OF tie

there were no real differences OF

Lord Miner was arguing against
Marshal Foch regarding the plan for

He had stood--at that time-strong-
ly with Wilson.
What had converted him so sud-
denly?
The complete answer is probably:
Lloyd George.
Lloyd George had gone home. like
Wilson. to report to the country:
there had been n great and heated
Cabinet meeting. Conditions in
Russia, which were most unsatis-
factory. had been presented
Churchill was there demanding a
new and vigorous Russian policy,
and no doubt attacking this nom
sense" of League of Nations
There had also been aired another
thing-the bitter discomfort OF the
Dominion Prem!ers over not getting
the colonies what they wanted--for
Premier Hughes OF Australia had
been making irritating speeches in
London. Every one. also, was be-
ginning to be impatient at the de-
! lay-the peace must be hurried.
II Lloyd George Had Stood BY.
This can be said truly: IL Lloyd
George had Loyalty and steadfastly
stood by the plan agreed to by the
Council, OF Ten on Feb. IL to make a
preliminary military and naval
peace, 1t would have gone through.
What about the Americans? OF
Lansing little need be said. He was
against the League as drafted. he
was against including it in the
treaty. He had no glimmer OF the
