BRITISH LHRSELT HFFEGTIO Reject* Theory of Super-Sovereignty of an International Police Force; Early Return to Normal State. Paritt.—The plans for a league of na tions have been red need to very defi nite form. The general indications are that the atatesmen of the principal nations are steadily drawing together on a structure which will have the eupport of all. It is understood that the general plan which is now most approved in substance by all the parties concerned rejects the theory of the super-sov ereignty of an international police force. It also contemplates the work ing out, as the development of the league prog nesses, of the most delcate. quelation of all—disarmament—whjch particularly affects the British navy. The same principle, it is proposed ehall apply to the other nations asso- ; oiated in the war against Germany. ' . Such a plan will delegate to various commissions and committees detailed problems which shall be reported | with recommendations to the league itself. The probability of such a plait being adopted justifies previous fore casts that the principal accomplish ments' of the peace conference as it now sits in Paris will be agreement on broad general principles, leaving the details to be appked in accord therewith- and the making of a pre liminary peace which .will return the world at the earliest moment popwdble to its normal status.

The allied gen eralissimo admitted that the Argortne- Meuse front, where the Americans begun their offensive on “September 26, was a “sector hard to tatetde.” The marshal said he "had told General Per shing: , "Your men have the devil’s own punch.

The report waft tfrawn up by Ferdinand Lamaude, dean of the Paris law faculty, and Dr. /. G. de Lapradelle. professor of rights of nations in the same faculty. The object of the inquiry was to Investigate from a purely judicial point if the crimes committed by the German government and array in volved the penal responsbility of the former German emperor, what tri bunal should Judge him and whether hts extradition could be demanded. The two French jurists prove tha/b the extradition of the former German rol-er cannot be refused, as he is rot a political refugee.

The American newspaper correspondents united in what is virtually a round robin ta President Wilson, in which they pro tested in measured terms against the decision,' and reminded the President that one of his 14 points which speci fies “open covenants of peace openly arrived at.” FEDERATION OF LABOR IN .
