S.Feverish haste is 1 i narking the proceedings of the peace delegates in the few days re- 1 mining before the return of Presi- dent Wilson to the 'United States. The most difficult problems relate to the new boundaries to be created and which have aroused the aspirations of many nations. especially the little ones, for the territory of their neigh- hors. The president has definitely post- paned his trip to Belgium, although the Belgians greatly desire that he fiersonally inspect their ruined country and industries and be convinced 4 of the justice of their claim for I reparation. The French also would have been glad if the president not .1 only have been able to go to Belgium.

but if be could have con- tinued his visits to deveetated i France. The feeling in thie matter has been voiced by Captain Andre Tardieu in his declaration that the 1. German blockade should be eontin' ued indefinitely. 'Wilson Needed in Parts. More important demand.

Mediation Does Much. r. A great deal has been done to settle the territorial disputes by mediation and in endeavoring to have look divPutee submitted to the society of nations when it is organized. A notable success in this direction has been in the conflict between Italy and Jugo-Slavia over territory in the eastern Adriatic. As these difficulties are overcome.

however others appear in the shape of demande of some elements for the imposition of harsher terms on Germany than are contained in the present armistice agreement, not only for the present, but also for the distant tenure. Some of these pro, posals are that Germany should, be 1 kept blockaded indefinitely, oven after the signing of the final peace treaty, In order to permit France and Belgium to rehabilitate their injured industries an as to be able to compete with Germany In the world'a markets.

WASIIINGTON, Feb. 8.The ion of publicity Seattle is getting out of the strike is indicated in the editorial columns of leading newspapers. Thus the New 'York World this has an editorial headed "Seattle's Labor Troubles," which begins with this sentence "Seattle has proved Itself worthy of Its reputation as a congenial resort for turbulent agitators." After detailing the history of the strike the editorial says: "But for the courage and decision of Ittayor Hanson in meeting the situation the strikers would have assumed the functions of city government and taken over the policing and lighting of Seattle." Derma Cause of Labor. The editorial ends with this paragraph: "In effect. organized labor in Seattle has attempted to command the United States goverment to obey its orders.

It was a rash undertaking, especially when accompanied by threats of violence and seizure of the city government. But to the cause of labor throughout the country even more harmful will be the eagerness of Seattle's central labor body in up. holding the strikers in their deliberate repudiation of wage agreements to which they were solemnly committed." The Washington Post treats the subject editorially under the head. "Adeent of Bolshevism." After describing the situation and approving the sending of troops to Seattle and Tacoma. the Post says: "If there is a movement to be made in the United States to Russianize this country it should be met with force at the very outset.

Nothing is to be gained by temporizing with bolshevism." The New York Sun'a editorial treatment of the subject begins with this declaration: "In the situation created by the general strike in Seattle there is one element of comfort and hope. It is the prompt recognition by state and municipal authorities of their responsibility to maintain public order." Denunciation by Koeppel'. Theodore M. Knappen, economist. in a signed article in the New York Tribune.

tells the story of the Seattle strike, emphasizing the fact that international unions are not aupporting it. "The men are striking," he writes, "not only against employers and the government, but against their own organizations." In the course of his article he says: 'rho Seattle district has been the labor trouble breeder since the beginning of the war. There are probably more syndicalists, I. mi. boishaviki and direct-action socialists in the Pacific northwest than in any other part of the country.

and it is therefore a most favorable place for such a revolutionary movement as a general strike. This strike is regarded as Only the culmination of a continuous agitation pointing toward revolution that has been going on there for years." Rich Folk Dine and Wine--High Prices Cause Misery.

(By wirelesa)Great progress has been made by the committee which is drafting the constitution of the league of flattens under President Wilson's chairmanship. Twelve of the 22 articles have been approved. The two most important articles have been compromised. These relate to the abolition of conscription and the reduction of armaments. 'Under the provisions as agreed upon both subjects will be covered by regulations made by the league of nations.

As embodied in the constitution the principle of a reduction of armament and the abolition of conscription will be approved by a league empowered to study the question with a view to solving the problem raised by the French and Italian objection that it is impossible to them. Adhere to Big Navy Program. I learn tonight that the United States takes the position that it must adhere to a big navy program until it is determined whether the nations of the world will reduce armaments and abolish conscription. If the dominions and all nations comply the United States will also conform. If the league fails to do things, or some nations decline to reduce armaments and abolish conscription, the United States will-have naval force capable of carrying out the purposes of the league.

From the same authoritative source I learn that the United States intends to take nothing for granted, and will wait for the league to make regulations for armaments and conscription, and all nations to comply with the method of modifying its naval policy. This is intended to serve notice that the United States will play the game of peace or war as circumstances tata Want American Guard on Turk. In the realization that President' Wilson has definitely fixed the time of his departure for America the plenipotentiaries of the other governments are bringing forward in a more deftnite way their suggestions that the United States assume a share of direct responsibility in connection, with governmental supervision over the enemy territory which will be placed within the jurisdiction of the leagtte of nations. American officials here give the impression that nothing formal along this line has been suggested to them, but nevertheless it is known that the matter has become somewhat of a'vital issue. The British are particularly anxious to have the United States government become the mandatory of the league for Constantinople, Syria and Armenia.

This responsibility, so far as Constantinople is concerned, will embrace the administration of the Dardanelles and the Bosporus. President Wilson is credited with willingness to accept the leagues mandate for his government if this course meets with the approval of the American congress and people. So far as Paris knows nothing has yet developed in the united States to show the popular attitude toward the subject of accepting such a mandate except that there are mormsIndlcations of hostility to the government embarking on a venture that may involve it in the politics of Europe and Asia. Whether it be true or not that if congress and the people fail to approve, the president will seek to escape the new and important duties urged upon the United States, there is no doubt that generally those connected with the American peace mission share the supposed sentiment of opposition. On the whole, it may be said, there is a very distinct and emphatic feeling among the American representatives that the American government should remain aloof from active participation in the political affairs of this part of the world.

Mandate for Western Hemisphere. Out of the informal discussion of American responsibility for the gov-, ernment of enemy territory has grown' a suggestion, too vague to give ground for any statement that it will or will not have tangible results. This is that the United States be relieved of serving as a mandatory of the league of nations over former enemy territory of Europe, Asia, Africa and the South seas, but be regarded as permanent and sole mandatory for the western hemisphere. should a contingency arise in which the league of nations regarded it as necessary to have its authority exercised over any government or tern. torial area in North, Central or South America.

The suggestion seems to appeal to Americans here. To carry it out would be a recognitionperhaps indircet-41' the Monroe doctrine. which would he extremely pleasing to the Washington government, for there lies always been an indisposition on the part of foreign powers to acknowledge this fundamental principle as a definite, fixed thing. Some decisions as to the share of American responsibility under the mandatory principle adopted by the pcsce conference may have to be reached before the presidenCti departure for America For Oils renson the situation is extremely intereoting and bast been made partleillarly so by a reneu al of pressure on the president and other niemhcrs of the American delegation to mtept the proposal that the United States beeome the mantlaxory for Censtantlimple. if not fur the other Turkish territories.

By PERCY HAMMOND, Special Cable to The Spokesman-Bellew and Tribune. PARIS, Feb. 3.Parente, are uneasy at home. we are told, for fear that their soldier boys in Paris may stumble, if rot fall, among the city's scarlet enares. Ilere they are.

you suspect, poor innocents exposed to all the hazards of this metropolis of wine and women, pitifully Imperiled by the crimson lip and siren smile. Sex has no tin helmet. you fear, and more than trench is required to save a youthful he man from cakes. ale and a good time. So, though they have sheathed the vengeful blade and rest in the calm repoee of the armistice, our boys In France are endangered as to their morals.

I stir around among the so-called fleshpots of Paris bent upon an academic inveatigation of what simmers therein, and I find no particular cause for perturbation. If your Henry or your Cuthbert is addicted to stepping about in his home town. be it Denver or Minneapolis or Kansas City, he will step about in Paris. If be flirts with Maude or Pearl in Los Angeles, he will trifle with Colette or Gabby in Montmartre. Secure Against Temptations.

On the other hand, if your Ralph or your Raymond le averse to beer and the brass rail; if he is bored by the propinquity of wild women and jazz time. preferring the fireside. he is reasonably secure against the traditional temptations of both banks of the Seine. The conduct of the Chicago soldier in Paris is similar to the conduct of the Chicago soldier in Chicago. He is as good in the Abbey or the Savoy as be is in Freiberg's.

The trouble with us American gni. diers is that. we think we have to take a tin horn with every drink. There I. little reticence about an American In his cups.

He is candid and unafraid. But since in Paris he is put Out at 930 o'clock, he is almost as safe as he would be le New York or New Orleans or San Francisco. Prohibition Would Be Calamity. We have decided in America. with the Koran.

that here is a devil in every berry of the grape, that every hop has a cloven hour and that a goblet containing a modest claret is a chalice of hell, full of beaded palming. That deeirliOn is undoubtedly eorrect. Like Or. Johneon, we find abstinence easier than temperance. Alcohol, to many of us, is a drug to make us forget, not a sprightly fillip to make UN remember.

Therefore, it ought to be forbidden. But in my two months' gadding about France. where the grape is believed to be as harmlees as a Jerseys udder. who ant a prohibitioniet, have seen this: No drunken French officer; no drunken French civilian. One drunken French soldier.

And I have seen tens of of them. Prohibition of Icohol as an American habit is a benefaction. but in France it would be a calamity. Pornmery. in France, is as much or a household word as Borden or liorlick Is in the United States.

It is also a remote symbol of such misunderstand-inns as may be acid to exist between the boys of FO.erney and Rheims and the boys of Oil City. Pa- and LaPorte, Ind. At tiny rate, the morals of your gallant offspring are as safe in Paris as they would be in Jack's, in New York. or in the Pompeian room ill Chicago. SEATTLE.

If the strike continues. lahor may feel led to avoid public suffering by reopening more and more active 'ties, under its own management.
