London. Dec. 30. Tho shadow of
t!wi secret treaties still lies ucross Europe.
Tho Issue still lies between them and
international justlco and open diplo
macy. England sympathizes with American
Jdeals, but is tied to France and Italy
by many obligations nnd agreements.
, The difficulty of England's position Is
illustrated by the sharp Issue that 1ms
risen between Italy and the Jugo-Slavs.
The difference between England and
France Is Indicated by tho press treat
ment of this situation. The British
press tolls frankly tho story of Italy's
occupation of territory claimed by tho
Slavs and condemns It bitterly. Even
tho conservative Spectator joins In tho
condemnation.
The Europo Nouvello of Paris
tried to tell tho story last week, but
the censor deleted tho wholo column.
That blank space Is highly lllumina
"" ting regarding the goneral Rttltude of
' France. Tho French Government evi
dently Is supporting Italy's insisjenco
upon tho terms of tho secret treaties
at least to tho point of not letting thtf
' truth of tho difficulty between Italy
nnd the Slavs reach tho people. Eng
land evidently is heartily sick of secret
treaties, but cannot break sharply
with her Allies.
Washington Digusted with Treaty
Wilson's visit may clear up tho
Italian-Slavic quarrel, for Wilson is
not bound by secret treaties and
surely does not sympathize with Italy's
Adriatic ambitions. It Is no secret
S that Washington was disgusted with
Italy's territorial claims during tho war
and was Indifferent at first to aiding
Italy for fear ot committing itself to
those alms' nnd the secret treaty by
which tho Allies purchased Italy's sup
port in tho war.
Tho lasuo with, the Jugo-siavs arises
from tho promises the Allies made to
Italy. Tho crisis Is sharpest now over
Dalmatla which Is largely Slavic, ex
cept for the senport of Flume, which
is partly Italian. When tho nrmlstlco
was signed tho Jugo-Slavs at Washing
ton asked occupation of the disputed
territories by an International force. A
jtilstako was made In not complying at
once.
On September 13 military and naval
forces of tho Allies tried to arraugo
such an international occupation. Ac
cording to the story of a correspondent
vouched for by the Manchester Guard-.
Ian, they agreed with tho Italian com
mander for International occupation
of tho city of Flume. Two days later
tho Serbs, to carry out the understand
ing, withdrew from Flume. An hour
later Italian troops entered tho city
j and tho Italian admiral landed largo
forces.
General Cancels Agreement
Tho Italian brigadier general an
nounced that ho was u higher officer
than his predecessor nnd therefore was
not bound by tho verbal agreement
tlio predecessor made. Italy Is stead
ily cxtondlng her occupation Into the
hinterland. Tho Jugo-Shivs aro great
ly exasperated ana tuo issue, unless
fairly settled "contains possible seeds
ot future wars and tends to drive tho
futuro Jugo-Slav Stato to depend on
Germany rather than upon Italy and
tho Allies.
Tho Immedlato importance of such
occupation Is disclosed in information
which American foorl officials possess
regarding tho pressuro which tho Ital
ians and other IJalkan States aro put
ting upon residents of tho disputed
territories. They elvo food only
after promises to voto In tho self-determination
election In favor ot tho oc
cupylnc power.
Tho American Government Is com
mitted strongly to tho Jugo-Slav Stato
by Lansing's announcement at Wash
ington recognizing their right to form
an independent Stato.

One such Incident took place Saturday

a theatre In London In tlio courso of fthe
performance of "Chu Chin Chow." The
King and Queen and the Queen of Nor

the President of tho United States and
his wife, having gone to dinner at
Premier Llovd George's resldf-nco.
Toward the end of tho performance what
Is known as n. parade of nations was
Introduced, with women carrying the
standards of tho Allied countries appear
ing In turn. Tho first was a handsome
young Amazon bearing tho flag oc one
of the smaller nations which had been
at war with Germany. Tho applause

shown by some of the audience to rlso
when tho national anthem of that coun

Is not customary, howover, to pay this
tribute of respect when a national an

so tho audience kept their seats.

yhateverv disagreements or har
monies may develop later on In
settling the main points of tho poaco
negotiations, there Is n radical differ
enco of opinion now ns to tho best
way of approach and the best se
quence In which sovcrnl problems may
be takon tip. Tho difference may be
most clearly stated In this form:
"Shall tho league of nations be con
sidered a cardinal matter and among '

Germany and her former nlllca have

treaty In tho formulation ot which
they wilt havo no participation'.'"
America nnd France at the present
moment represent tho opposlto enda
of that question, and there Is Interest. ,
lng speculation as to how England and
Italy will lino up.
The first of last week I cabled tho
French Idea ns to the best chronology
of tho peaco proceedings. It begins
with the determination by the Big
Four. America, England, Franco and
Italy, acting by themselves, ns to '
what the principal peace terms must
be.
Next, tho smaller belligerent nations
wcro to havo their objectives put Into
these terms, if their desires wero not
contrary to the wishes of the Big Four. ,
Third, the finished peaco treaty, pro-
vidlng, among other things, the now
restricted boundaries for Germany,
was to be submitted to Germany to i
sign or reject without tho right to
modify. Then tho samo measures were
to bo taken with tho signing by Bul
garia, Turkey and Austria-Hungary.
That would end tho l'eaco Confer
ence proper. After that would comu

the discussions of the leaguo ot nations.
a marked change of opinion. If Mr.
Wilson Is not yet looked upon as u
certain winner, he surely Is not longer
regarded as a certain loser.
Whatever changes tiro now taking
place In French politics nil favor
Wilson. No Government can Ignore

That brines one to another phase.

got America to nut in the preliminary
conference as n mediator between Italy
nnd the Jugo-Slavs in their cnspuio
over the east coast of the Adriatic.
Tho two nations are at odds now over
that question, and thrro Is dally dan
ger of clashes between their troops.
Tho .lugo-Slavs want Trieste, Flume
and the coast south of those ports.
Italy now intimates n willingness to
give tlu Jugo-Slavs commercial har

Onco again the Hands of Time have nlmost traveled around tho
dial, nnd the New Year that is dawning will be the brightest and hap
piest the world has known for years. All the struggles and privations,
partings nnd sorrows of 1918 were as so many seeds planted in the
Garden of the Life of the Nation. The sacrifices made are over and
forgotten, but the fruits they brought forth will live on forever, and
1919 will be the first of tho years to reap their Harvest of Joy and
Prosperity.

New Year's jollification.
NEW YEAR'S EVE, when you ,
wait up to see thc Old Year
out and the New ono in. you
surely will not do so alone. You
may have but one chosen companion, '
but no matter how congenial, hours j
of waiting aro always tedious, and
conversation will flag. But if you
havo a glowing open fireplace to
gaze into, if you enn watch the,
flames leap and dance behind beau
tiful brass andirons or scroon. if vn '
have plenty of logs in your shining i
uuuuu. ur longs ana poKcr to glvo
it an occasional stir, what matters
an hour or two of silence to "two
minds with n single thought and two
hearts that beat ns one"? And nil
these fireplace accessories are at the
House Furnishing Store of J. Frank
lin Miller, 1012 Chestnut street.
ANY device that saves labor
saves time; if it saves time it
saves money, nnd if it saves
monoy it must be efficient. Thnt Is

terns, sold by A. Pomernntz & Co.,
