CHARGE SUPPRESSION
OF SINN FEINERS
(Bv Atsoclated Prest
LONDON. Jan. 14. The intention
to forcibly suppress the Sinn Fein or

the governor general called Monday

GENEVA. Jan. 14 Details of a pro
clamation in Luxembourg which have
reached here say that revolutionists
forced an entrance into the castle of
Grand Duchess Marie on Friday and
demanded her abdication. The grand
duchess refused on the ground that
the parliament had not made such a
request. She was given 24 hours to
leave her capital and was told that
she -would be permitted to take only
her personal effects. She consented
to go to her chateau outside of the
city. In the meantime, the parliament
held a disorderly meeting.
Grand Duchess Marie has a minor
ity following, it is said, Jbeing mainly
clericals. As a protest, they left the
parliament building in a body. It is
stated that feeling against the grand
duchess is due to the fact that she re
ceived former Emperor , William, the
crown prince and other " German of
ficers and also permitted her sister to
become engaged to Crown Prince itup
precht of Bavaria. . It is said the

ARMISTICE EXTENSION
-! (By Associated Tress)
. PARIS, . Jan. . 14. Russia may be
represented, together'wlth all the na
tions that were engaged in the war
against Germany, at the first formal
meeting of . the peace conference.
Whether Russia will have present at
that1 time a delegation of prominent
Russians, irrespective of party, or
other spokesmen, if any, probably will
be decided at the next meeting pre
liminary to the congress. This will
be held tomorrow because of the open
ing of the session of the French par
liament today.
All the delegations with the excep
tion of the French, which will be oc
cupied with parliamentary affairs,
will employ their time in preparations
for Wednesday's meeting. President
Wilson planned to engage in a series
of Informal conferences with British
and French representatives.
The first question to come up be
fore the actual peace conference will
be that of the proposed league of na
tions and it was made know today that
It had been planned for the confer
ees to devote twelve hours daily to
this work if necessary, until it is on
the way to completion. There is some
reason for 'believing that the first
plans for the structure of a league -of
nations to be. laid before the confer
ence probably, will be somewhat com
posite, representatives of a concensus.:

can, British and French statesmen
who have been, discussing the - sub
ject. It will not purport to be a fin
ishedproduct, but is intended to serve
as a starting point for development.
I Foch Meets Delegates.
Marshal Foch, the allied comman
der-in-chief, 1b today on the way to his
headquarters at Treves to meet the
Gerqian delegates and lay down terms
for the eitention of the armistice.
There was some disposition during
yesterday's conferences -to make the;
terms of the extension-more art
tha4 .had at first been proposed,-hue,
this' was not carried out.
The extension, however, provides
for the turning over of the German
commercial fleet to transport troops,
in exchange for food; for the restitu
tion of material taken from France and
Belgium and for full compliance with
the terms of the original armistice.
A start has been made on the ma
chinery . through which the American
republic will learn of the doings of
the peace conference. Hitherto the
French and the British press had ac
cess to much more information than
the press ' representatives from the
United States. The British and
French had also been issuing their
own official communiques regarding
the meeting. It now has been decided
to issue a joint communique, prepared
by a committee representing all the
nations, this to be the sole official
outgiving. President Wilson has also
decided to communicate with the rep
resentatives of the American news
papers, of which there are more than
100 in Paris, through the medium of a
publicity agent.- Ray Stannard Baker,
a former magazine writer, has been
selected as the agent.
