ATMOSPHERE TENS APPREHENSIVE POLAND BONE OF CONTENTION AND IMMEDIATE SUBJECT OF CONFERENCE DISCUSSION. VIEWS ARE WIDELY DIVERGENT Lloyd George Fears Denatiomxstion of 80 Many Germans Would Cause Another War. Paris. When the council of great power met It was in an atmosphere of considerable apprehension over Pol and. which Is the chief subject d - cusslon. This is not on account of Poland Itself but because of differences which have arisen affecting the funiln mental question of nationality, to which President Wilson has given his strong approval and also his thlr teenth "point" which called for an In. dependent Polish slate with access to the sea. ; - ' This last cause has introduced an Issue on finch there Is a wide dlverg. enceof views. A committee under the chairmanship of Jules Cambon. with Sir William Tyrell as the British mem. her and Dr. Robert . LorHd as the American. haB reported the plan giv ing Poland this access to the sea by means of a "corridor" 60 milr-s wide running across east Prussia. But the effect of this concession is to place about 1.SOO.00O Germans 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 largo body of Germans would cause such discontent as would be likely to bring on another war and It is under stood that . President' Wilson also is not entirely satisfied with the pro posal. OFFICES OF POSTAL SYSTEM ARE REMOVED BY BURLESON Washington. Differences between the management of the Postal Tele graph A Table Co... and Postmaster General Burleson culminated in an or der by the postmaster general sum marily relieving the chief officers, di rectors and owners of the Postal com pany from all duties In connection with government operation of their system. An announcement by the post'office department says thut the order re moving Messrs. Mackay. Cook and Deegan from the operation of the Postal, company's lines Under govern ment control was "made necessary by the fact that since the postofflce department refused to grant the com pensation asked for by them, these officials have refused or failed to fol low out the instructions of the depart ment in the management of the prop erties and failed to put Into operation promptly the wage schedule and the eight hour day; and In various ways endeavored to embarrass and discredit the government operation of the wires.

ISSUE RESTS ON 14 POINTS Suggestions Made That Germany Bow to Force for the Present and Make Preparations for ths Future. . London. There a're many indica tions of a concerted effort by German propaganda to suggest that Germany should refuse to Bign the preliminary peace terms. This appeared more than a fortnight ago when that ao ivninH,hail nmnnvonillat Pri.roaiAF Iloetsch. of Berlin, published an ar - tide in The Vienna Neue Freie Press suggesting that, unless the 14 points of Wilson Inspired the .treaty, Ger many hould adopt the attitude of the Russians at Brest-Lltovsk and refuse to sign.

The Deutsche Tabe Zeitung said ths government must Insist npon ab- solute guarantees that German ships would be returned as they face the well-known duplicity of the English and no reliance could be placed on the statement of Admiral Hope that these were required simply for feed ing Europe.

In the past three days, fol lowing the return of President Wilson, We have had what under different circumstance, mlrin oa-lK- .. ,,, , . . , . . - , the most serious cn.ls of the whole peace conference. That a crisis was avoided was due to a single fact, the unshakable decision of the British and French to preserve the solidarity of the Anglo-American-French rela- j tlons at any price. . I What happened Is simply told: j When the President reached Paris he ' found a program completely arranged ' by which before March 21 a prellmi-' nary peace was to be made with Ger- ! many, This preliminary peace was to include military, naval, economic and geographic terms. It was to be In a , sense preliminary, bnt in reality it was to be In substance the final peace ' treaty. i . In this treaty, the covenant of the I league of nations was not to appear: to this program the American com mission had practically agreed. There had been no difference of opinion, nn dohnto The Amerieun nnmmla. sioners felt that there was' not the ' 8 HortaW, now reports a surplus of smallest Intention to seek to defeat!800.

The single notion of the Paris con ference in preparing the preliminary peace draft was to put an end to the period of unsettlement, to give Ger many something approximating the terms of her enemies, to give Poland her western frontiers, to disarm Ger many, thus to permit the completion of British and French demobilisation """""" """ " " arm. by tiat time. The best evidence,; of the good faith of fthe European na-; tlons was the tacit agreement to the program by tbe American, commls-, sioners. . I But no sooner had the President I arrived than he almost abruptly ve-j toed the program for any preliminary j peace arrangements which did not In- nations. A public statement made in his name, decisively disposed of any question of his approval of a prelimi nary peace plan unless it should In clude the covenant of tbe league of nations. ' In reality, that puts an end to any hope of the proposed action, The ex-., traordlnary determination of the Pres- Ident to create his league of nations. to includo it in 'the peace treaty, to make good hie declaration in his New Tork speech, has In less than twenty four hours, with a dramatic sudden ness hardly to be described, trans formed the whole progress- of events in Paris. We have laid aside an Anglo-American plan for a Wilson program; we have reached this result with little more than a ripple on the surface; however great the subsurface activity tor a lew nours.
