PICKARD. v'" Seenilhgly convinced 1 that. by; some means not yet revealed." the Opposition of a large part of the Amerfcan senate can be overcome, the peace delegates in Paris went ahead last week with the work of welding the treaty and the league of nations plan. - President Wlhson declared tbere was no inten tion vof handling the two matters; sep-f arately, and in this he was supported by others of thejeaders. It was admit ted thai the league, plan would have to be amended in, various particulars, and that the American delegates, had made up their . minds, to accept a cer tain limited number of changes. Per haps it wus believed these alterations, which probably will not he at all radi cal, would satisfy, the. objecting sena tors. .Their attitude and language do not tend to justify that belief. Some of the correspondents In .Paris fear . that f insistence on" joining the covenant of the league with. the peace treaty will delay the "latter, Others equally well informed, assert that the difficulties will be speedily removed, intimating that the principles Qf the league, in so far as they have' been generally accepted, will be Incorporat ed in the treaty and that differences of opinion regarding specific parts of the' covenant will be recognized and discussion of them left to a later date. Tims, they think, President Wilson and, the supporters" of his plan will be satisfied and the opposition in Ameri ca arid elsewhere placated. ' " ' The specific changes demanded by the opposing senators have not been inadej public except In a1 scattering way, but a courier Is on his way to Paris bearing a lengthy statement for the' French land British press prepared b Senator Poindexter.

When the council of great powers met it was; in an atmospho of considerable apprehension over Pr and. which is the chief subject nt r-H, cussion. This is not on account of Poland itself but because of differences; which have arisen affecting the funda mental" "question of nationa ity, to which President Wilson has given h"s strong approval and also his thir teenth "point" which called for an in dependent Polish state with access to '.he sea. 4 This last cause has introduced ao issue on fhich there is a wide diverg encepf yiews.Q A committee under the chairmanship -of Jules Cambon, wit Sir WilliamTyrell as the British irem ber and Dr.1 -Robert : LorHd as th American, has reported the plan giv ing Poland this access to the sea by means of a "corridor" 60 miles .wide running across east Prussia. But tlie effect of this concession is to place i about " L5OO.000 Oermans within the new Poland and to detach the eastern most part , of Prussia from Germany. ' Premier Lloyd George has taken the view that this denationalization of a large body of Germans would cause such discontent as would be likely to bring6n another :war and it is under stood that 'President Wilson also is hot' entirely' satisfied with the pro posal. 1 - ;"':" .- ; OFFICES OF POSTAL SYSTEM ARE REMOVED BY BURLESON Washington. -Differences between the management of 4 tlie Postal TK rraph & Cable Co., and Postmaster Seneral Burleson culminated In an or Jer by the postmaster; general sum narily relieving the chief officers, di rectors and owners of tbe PoBtal com pany from all duties in connection witlt government operation of their system. -An? announcement by the postoffice department says that the order re moving Messrs.;" Mackay.
