Unless the peace congress which
held its first formal session on Satur-
day changes Its mind the world must
be satisfied hereafter with such Infor-
mation concerning its deliberations ns
is contained In' the official communique
Issued dally Possibly because of a
breach of confidence on the part of
some correspondent the supreme al-
lied council adopted a resolution that
'the delegates shall not talk outside the
'peace chamber of the doings of the
conference The hundreds of high-
priced journalists gathered in Paris
from all parts of the world can devote
their time to describing the majesty
tof the Arc de Trlomphe and the allure-
ment8 of the Paris boulevards The
American and British correspondents
formally nnd energetically protested
agalnstf tills' rigid-censorship TTuter
tho rule may he relaxed otherwise
the demaud for “open covenants of
peace opeuly arrived at” goes by tho
board
In the preliminary work of tho con-
ference the make-up nnd procedure of
the congress were settled It was de-
cided that the United States the Brit-
ish empire France Italy and Japan
should be represented by five delegates
apiece The British dominions and In-
dia besides are represented as follows :
Two delegates respectively for Aus-
tralia Canada South Africa nnd In-
dia Including the native states and
one delegate for New Zealand Brazil
has three delegates Belgium China

slovak republic Koumnnla nnd Serbia

- A great deal of time last week was
devoted to consideration of the various
plans for the league of nations the
organization of which was the first
matter taken up by the peace Rele-
gates after they began their formal
sessions In accordance with the de-
slre of President Wilson Many
schemes for the league were submit-
ted these dividing themselves gener-
ally Into two groups which differ as to
the means of making effective the de-
cisions of the league One holds that
the rulings of the society of nations
should be backed up by Its combined
physical forces the other that such
force will not be necessary Iu the ex-
amination of the plans It seemed cer-
tain that a compromise would not be
difficult to reach
Prodded by the expressed anxiety of
the senate the American delegates
carefully examined every scheme sub-
mitted to make sure that nothing In
them endangered the cherished Monroe
doctrine They appear to be satisfied
that this American Ideal Is not Imper-
iled and that on the contrary the
league would In effect extend the prin-
ciple of the Monroe doctrine to the
hole world The senate Is not so sure
of this and Senntor Borah wh(T
strongly opposed the formntlon of the
league Introduced a resolution which
If passed would serve notice that the ’
senate will not ratify a treaty the pro--visions
of which conflict with the Mon-1
roe doctrine and with the traditional
dniv of the United States to enforce
IiInTTiiter thuf principle:
I
The matter of extending aid to Po-
land was one of the serious tilings dis-
cussed Inst week especially serious
because It probably Involves the prob-
lem of what the allies shall do li’j tBel
case of Russia The American and
British delegates were said to have j
agreed that u bile none of their own j
troops should bo sent to help the 1
Poles the two Polish divisions recruit-1
ed In the United States should be sent J
from Franco through Germany to as-
sist the government set up by tho Po-
lish national committee These troops '
would co-operate In stemming the tide
of bolshevism that Is flowing west
from Russia making tho now Poland
n strong bulwark against that flood of
anarchy" The plan Is a concession to
tho Idens of the French who are con-
vinced that bolshevism cannot or
should not bo dealt with militarily In
Russia by tho allies It also Is likely
to compel General I’ilsudskl to come
to an agreement with tho Tollsli na-
tional committee ns represented In
Poland by Paderewski

The Spartacan revolution-ln Ger-
many — or at least In Berlin — has fizzled
DUt Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg
were captured and according to report
killed The other leaders are under ar-
rest or dispersed nnd some huudreds of
their followers are dead After a week
of terror the police were reinstated nnd
nrmed order was restored and busi-
ness was resumed In some other
cities the "Reds” are still In control

This fact about the German army
leads to the naming issued by the
Central News of Loudon that a situa-
tion exists In Europe under which war
may break out again nt any time nnd
that the British scheme of demobiliza-
tion will have to be radically changed
— which may also apply to American
demobilization An “unimpcacbablo
authority” Is quoted as saying that
Great Britain will have to keep nn
army of occupation on tho Rhine for
many months which accords with the
opinion of others concerning nil the
armies of occupation It may be this
