The eum necessary to take care for

come in today and yesterday. This
leaves the fund $2,022 short.
It is hoped that, with the incident
breathing space which follows the
Christmas rush, Washingtonians may,
in sufficient numbers and with sufficient
generosity, turn their attention ,
o these cases, to clear them all up by
the first of the year. They've got to
"hump" a bit, though, for never were
the opportunities so slowly taken
care of; seldom have they needed Quite
so much money as this year. (

NEUTRAL NATIONS
NOT MJEIPARLEY
Allies Decide Only Belligerents
Shall Participate in
Peace Conference.
PARTS nooftmhAH *>A /TTo^roc-N A T _
lied representatives have decided that
neutral nations will not be admitted
to the peace conference, according to
newspapers here. Neutrals may address
their claims to belligerents,
however, and any demands thus made
will be referred to a special body
which will be created by the peace
conference.
It has been decided, it is reported,
that neutrals will be allowed to participate
in the deliberations incident
to the formation of a league of nations.
Meeting Say Three Weeks Off.
PARIS, December 25 (by the Associated
Press).?More than three weeks
probably will elapse before the general
peace conference assembles. It
is unlikely that any official statement
will be issued in the meantime concerning
the number of governments ,
to be represented or the tests to be ,
applied to determine the right of ap- '
plicants to participate.
Technical experts attached to the ,
delegations of the principal powers
already have given much study to
this subject. If negotiations to reach
an agreement in tnis point nave not
been undertaken already it is certain
they will be immediately after President
Wilson's return from London.
Notwithstanding the indisposition
of the British government to inject
business into Mr. Wilson's visit, it is
possible that in his conferences with
Premier Lloyd George and Foreign
Minister Balfour the foundation may
be laid for settlement of the question
of representation which Mr. Wilson
probably has discussed with
Premier Clemenceau.
Likened to TJ. S. Congress Opening.
Conditions whioh will confront the
peace conference when it opens will
not be unlike those marking the
opening of a new Congress in the
United States or a national convention.
In the first the House clerk determines
the tentative membership,
and in the second the committee on
credentials prepares a tentative list
of delegates. At the peace conference
delegates must be prepared to present
adequate credentials from their legislature,
king, president or other executive
authority.
It is considered probable that several
countries on the tentative list
will be closely restricted at the beginning
when broad questions of policy
will be outlined. But additions to
the list of delegates may be made
later when the conference gets down
to details and general principles. Still
later another class of nations may be
admitted, including the central powers,
to lay the foundations for the
formal signing of peace treaties.
Theoretically these questions are
subject to mutual examination and
challenge in case of doubt, but actually,
in the forthcoming conference, the
United States, Great Britain, France.
Italy and later, perhaps, Belgium, by
reason of sentimental considerations,
probably will reach an understanding
as to the admission of. delegates.
Neutral Powers to Be Admitted.
The neutral powers probably will
be allowed to participate when the
stage is reached where it, is desirable
there should be a world-wide adoption
of the plans prepared at the preliminary
sessions for the permanent
settlement of war issues and the assurance
of permanent peace.
There are already indications that
there will be applications for numerous
small states, some of them existing
before the war and others resulting
from the collapse of Russia
and the division of Austria and Turkey.
In this category are the Zionists
of Palestine, Arabs, Armenians, Georgians
and small governments in Mesopotamia,
which the British and French
governments already have promised recognition
or protection.
The Czecho-SIovak republic already
has been recognized by most of the
nations of the entente and by the
United Stp-tes. Siberia, Finland and
the Ukraine, Esthonia and numerous
other fragments of Russia are seeking
recognition.
It is expected that the leading
powers will reach a preliminary
agreement regarding the disposition
to be made of these claimants, but
this will be subject to the approval of
the general conference when it is
assembled. It was pointed out today
that these complexities of preliminary
organization are almost identical
with those which confronted the
Vienna congress and which held oft
the actual assembling of that body
for many weeks.

TO BEGINTONIGHT
Jewish Society Mass Meeting
Will Inaugurate Drive for
$60,000 Fund.
The four-day campaign. In which it is
sxpected that Washington will raise and
contribute the sum of $60,000 to its
Jewish relief committee to be expended
for the benefit of Jewish sufferers from
the war abroad, will be ushered in by a
big mass meeting at 8 o'clock tonight .
it Eighth Street Temple.
The principal speakers and guests of
honor will be Henry Morgenthau, former
United States ambassador to Turkey,
and Rabbi Nathan Krass of New York
city, while Louis Brownlow, chairman
cf the board of Commissioners, and
Senator Saulsbury of Delaware have also
accepted invitations to attend and deliver
addresses. The program of music
arranged by Simon Lyon, chairman of
the loreil committee, will be appropriate j
n character and will begin with the national
anthem. I
x WVJ AUUiCOSCO k7VUCUlUCU>
Mr. Morgenthau in his address will
lepict conditions which came to his personal
attention in Turkey and the near
cast, and -will show the imperative
necessity of rushing more funds to certain
ovorpopulated and devastated portions
of Europe. Rabbi Krass will make
i direct appeal on behalf of the fund.
While a little work was done by the
teams yesterday and today in the
matter of canvassing, the real activity
commences tonight at the meeting,
followed by three days of intensive
campaigning.
Posters setting forth the features
of the meeting tonight have been
hung in store windows and department
stores in the downtown district,
md It is expected that a throng of al
creeds will be present.
Speedy Work Expected.
Now that the Red Cross drive is
ever, the executive committee feels
free to devote its undivided attention
to its own fund and it is expected
that the task will be accomplished.
Women who are interested in this
campaign will doubtless solicit funds
m an unobtrusive manner at the vari>us
local theaters, hotels, department
tores, and probably at-the principal
treat corner*. _ ?

U. S. MUST QUICKLY SEND
FUEL TO EUROPEANS
Fuel for Europe Is one of the urgent
preliminary problems to be solved
by the allied conference. The fuel
administration has been informed of
the serious lack of coal, particularly
among- the allied nations, and ways of I
replenishing the depleted supplies
must be quickly devised.
The shortage is general throughout
Europe. However, Italy, France and j
Belgium are known to be the chief j
sufferers among the allies at present.
Of these countries Italy appears to
be the worse off, both in the matter
of its future supply as well as its
present stocks. France is badly in
need of immediate supplies until the
restored mines of Lens and AlsaceLorraine
are again established upon
a producing basis.
