PRESIDENTS WEIL SATISFIED The Revised Covenant is Practically Finished and is in Hands of Committee for Final Drafting. President Wilson, who has virtually been silent since his return to Paris, believes the time is opportune for a statement which will ullay apprehension over the delay and show the revision of the covenunt of the league of nations had proceeded at night hessiors. without any interruption to the other :.iuin questions. President Wilson issued the following statement: "In view of the very surprising impression which seems to exist in some quarters that it is the discussions of the committee on the' league of na tion that are delaying the final formulation of peace. I am very glad to take the opportunity of reporting that the conclusion of this commission were the first to be laid before the plenary conference. "During the last few davs the commission has been engaged in an efTort to take advantage of the criticisms which the publication of the covenant has fortunately drawn out. A committee of the commission has also had the advantage of a conference with representatives of the neutral states who are evidencing a very deep interest and a practically unanimous desire to align themsolves with the league. "The revised covenant is now practically finished. It is in the hands of a committee Tor the final process of drafting und will almost Immediately be presented a second time to the public. "The conference of the commission have invariably been held at times when they could not interfere with the consultation of those who have undertaken to formulate the general conclusions of the conference with regard to the many other complicated problems of peace. So that the mem bers of the commission congratulate themselves on the fact no part of their conferences hnve ever Interposed any form of delay." SPIRIT OF OLD GERMANY SHOWN IN MARKED MANNER Berlin.?General Hoffman, real victor at Tannenberg, and General von Lettow-Verbeck are forming a new volunteer corps as a division of guards to preserve order at home, and protect the frontiers of the empire. Before the Bismarck statue in Keonigplatz, the national union of German officers, with the imperial colors at the head of which was a band of officers playing the kaiser hymn, formally made an oath of allegiance in the form of a resolution regarding the frontiers of the empire founded by the "Iron Chancellor." Just as the procession was passing the British embassv. General Ludendorff turned the corner from Vaterden Linden. Some one recognized him and in an Instant he was surrounded and there were wild cheers. Ludendorff was obviously perturbed by the demonstration. which in the present mood of suspician against him entertained by many can do him no good service. BERLIN GOVERNMENT PROTEST ANENT LUDENDORFF INCIDENT Berlin.?The government has protested to armv officer* uMinot demonstration they gave for General LudendorfT on the ground that it has given opponents an opportunity to assert that everything Is the same in Germany as under the former emperor. If LudendorfT asked for a tribunal to hear his case, the government, It is announced, would grant his request and would see that it was composed of impartial persons. AUSTRALIA FIRMLY OPPOSED TO JAPANESE AMENDMENT Paris.?William M.

EFFECT IMPORTANT RESULTS Certain Amendments Have Been Agreed Upon That Are Designed to Meet Criticism at Home. j Paris.?Persistent efforts, principally by the American delegates, but sec; onded tor the most part by the British I and Italians, to speed up the work of the various councils and commisj sions preparing the details of the peace ! treaty, resulted in belter progress durj ing the closing days of the past week, : That most important results will be ! attained during the present week is predicted by those who are in a position to speak, including the disposition of the Monroe doctrine and reparations. the two subjects which have , been the main obstacles to the completion of the treaty. The most stubbornly contorted subject was that of reparations, and it is suggested that the delay in this case cannot be charged up to the Americans, but rather to the pre-e'ec; tion promises of Premier L.loyd George and Premier Clemenceau to make the j j Germans pay the whole cost of the i war, which have led to some embar| rnssmcnt, because of the patent ina-j bility of the enemy to pay more than 1 u fraction of the enormous indemnity ! I that will be required for that purpose.' However, real progress has been ' made in bringing about an agreement j on the total amount of indemnity and the terms of payment, on a basis of painstaking studies of the exact state of German industries and resources1 ' at the present time and prospects for the future made by the financial cora1 missions of the conference. Although President Wilson has stated that the league of nations covenant did not delay the progress of the ' treaty, because the work of the other commissions was equally essential to , ita completion, the subject has been ; the subject of much anxiety and close study during the past week.

DIFFICULT OF EXAGGERATION Germany Not Now at Our Feet Unable to Resist Payment of Any Sentence Allies Might Impose. I Paris.?Announcement of the outbreak of a bolshevist revolution in Hungury has produced something approaching panic in the Paris peace conference. The fact itself has surprised those who have been warned re-' peatdly for the last four months of facts as contrasted with theories of the eastern European situation, nor does the Hungarian incident complete the list of anxieties. Paris knows that the bolshevists have conquered Hungary. It knows also that the Rumanian situation is becoming critical, and it has almost geenral teatiniony from those returning from Poland that Poland is Cbmpletely undermined by bolshevists. , It would be difficult to exaggerate' the gravity of the situation in Europe as a result of four months without de- ( cision following the victory of last November. Then, Germany was ct our feet, prepared to accept our sentence, incapable of resisting it. Today it is the testimony of many who know Germany that Germany will sign no treaty of peace such as wa mav iBAmotlmo 41? * -%? .. _ ^ ? iui iiiuiaio, Uldl Hn6 will invite us to ocoupy her territory, believing that our armies of occupation will be corrupted by bolshevism, while her property will be protected from dometic disorder. As it stand3 now., the Paris conference has reached a deadlock wholly comparable with the deadlock which existed in tho congress of Vienna that when Napoleon returned from Elbu. Conceivably the news of advancing bolshevism will act upon the Paris conference as the bad news of the landing of tho great emperor.

Jews and persons who lesembled Jews were stopped on the street, it was said, and even vynagogues were raided on the grounds that Maximalists were being hidden there from the police.

Neither was it indirated whether shipments may be made prior to the complete establishment o? peace and during the armistice now in effect. Some doubt is expressed here as to whether or not commercial rela tions may be resumed with Germany until the treaty of peace has been perfected. It Is said that this is the first innminrement of arrangements under which any article of merchandise fr--m Germany may be sent to the 1'nited States. TIME AND PLACE OF MEETINGS OF CONFERENCE KEPT SECRET Paris.?Increased precautions have been tal:en to safeguard President Wilson and the premiers with whom ho Is In dally conference. So carefully hnve the plans been mode that even the chief of the American secret service squad is uninformed as to when the meeting.-; will take place.

Coblenz?The slowness of the peace conference in Paris in reaching a de cision on the terms of peace with Germany is having a marked efTect on tha attitude of the population n thejnccnpied area.

This meeting w-U not hp for the purpose of examining into the merits of the opinions expressed by the students in their pet'tion. but to consider conditions existing in the student body and to discover the cause of these conditions. "The- trustees have no idea of parmitting the students to dictate who shall be president. Dr. Curroll has been duN elected, the trustees have full con ft donee in him. and at this time there is no disposition on the part of the board to dispense with his services. "The trustees can not allow the presidency of the university to lose its prestige locally or with the outside educational world. This prestige will surely he lost if student rule were allowed to go beyond its proper bounds. Conditions in the student hody leading to demoralization can not be tolerated.

The audience gave the speaker the closest attentiort and liberal applause. Senator Smith is popular here and al! were glad to hear him. * The farmers of this community generally are holding their cotton and there is considerable sentiment In favor of reduction.
