WILSON TO BE NOTIFIED THAT
GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE
ACCEPT CHANGES,
By HENRY WALK*.
(Copyright. 1011), by the Chicago Tribune.)
PA IMS, Dw. 11.—The London Dully Mail,
Paris edition, Iuih publlnheiJ a dispatch
from its Washington <nrrespondent under
u N.'W York date line, saying that the
Ifrltlcb and French g»»vernments wore pr.:-
parod (o accept the Versailles treaty with
the amendments which the Senate ha I
drawn up.
From high French and British sources In
Paris, I learn that neither I'remler Clem-
'•nceau nor Prime Minister Lloyd George
would have refused to accept the German
treaty with the modifications proposed ov
the Senate, and that they practically agreed
to ask their respective ambassadors in
Washington to notify the State Depart-
ment and the White House to that effect.
In fact, It Is reported aronud the French
Ministry of Foreign Affairs that one »f
the principal reasons whv Premier Clem-
• nceau is going to London Is to discuss
that phase of the situation personally with
Lloyd George. They tray Bend word to
President Wilson personally that France
and Great Britain will accept the amended
treaty and that they prefer It to be amend
ed and pa awed by the Senate rather thai
have it he <1 up Indefinitely »n the hope
thut It will go through in ith original
form,
M Clemenccau also will confer with
Lloyd George regarding reorganization of
th»- Buprnne War Council at Versailles,
which In disbanded. The 1'lilted Slates has
not acceded to thin proposal pending final
action of Hie Senate ou the iwce treatf»
and (1 rent ilriialn has been withholding its
anient. This inter allied general italf « oun-
i II Is to prepare military plans similar «o
those prtpared prior to 1U14 Idween
France mid England, which envisaged a
landing of Itrltish »xpedltloiiary corps m
France Existence of these plans when th»
war started saved several days' time at
a critical period during the French re
treat.
The French want an I liter-tilled general
staff to prepare and to keep up to date
similar plans for French-British Ainerlcnti
participation In military enterprises in the
future.
It Is announced by Gen. Connda that »e
will sigu tiie minority clause of the Ger-
man treaty on behalf of Koumaiiia in the
Foreign Office. After applying his sig-
nature to this treaty, In* will sign the
Austrian and Bulgarian treaties also, »hus
dosing up these documents. The Jugo-
slavs already liuve signed them.
Uoumanla liaa now promised to carry
out the allies' directions and will work
in harmony with the allied commission,
taking stock of the material seized In Hun-
gary. This will permit the final clauses
of the Hungarian treaty to be drafted and
they will be ready for presentation when
the AiW'onyl commission reaches 1'arls
The Roumanians promised to wltlidarw
from the Theisa River line, where they at
present are entrenched, to a boundary out-
lined by the peaee conference last spring,
thus leaving all Hungarian soil free of In-
vaders.

PROPOSED M E A S V R E IS NOT
THOUGHT TO BE ACCEITABLE

By L. R. MURDOCH.
(Universal Service Staff Correspondent.)
LONDON. Dec. 11.—'The goverumeut
continues to shroud Its plans for an Irish
settlement In deep mystery, and even the
press that usually presents Its views does
not attempt to indicate what Lloyd George
actually proposes to do.
However, from a source usually well in-
formed, Lulversal Service learns that the
Proposed measure will provide for domin-
ion home rule, with two provincial oarlia-
ments, one In Belfast and the other in
Dublin, and a "nominated" council for the
whole of Ireland, having the same powers
as the House of Lords, the lord lieutenant
presiding. Members of the two parlia-
ments are to compose this council.
All Indications are that the measure will
be far short of genuine home rule.
Questions of finance, customs, excise and
income tax will be reserved for the Impe-
rial parliament, with some sort of prom-
ise of "gradual transference" to Ireland.
The policing of Ireland also will be
"temporarily" reserved to the Imperial gov-

ernment and the army and navy perma-
nently.
With the veto power, army and navy,
foreign policy, police, finance and "certain"
legislation controlled from Loudon, the
"home rule" act which the government is
said to be about to offer seems shorn of
all the main concessions for which Ire-
land has been clamoring.
Under this plan, it is apparent, the Irish
government would be virtually impotent,
since it would not be controlling what Is
the backbone of the entire living body of
any real government.
There is small doubt that such Is the
present plan of the Lloyd George minis-
try, but the latter has been doing consid-
erable fencing of late In Important ques
tions, and a change of front would not be
without precedent.
Certain it Is that the Sinn Felnera will
not accept this sort of "home rule." and
the people of Ireland as a whole seem un-
likely lo agree to It.
Lord Northdiffe is outspokenly against
the lirltlsh policy towurd Ireland.
He recently denounced It as leading to
an irreconcilable state of mind In tint
country. Yesterday a special investlirator
of the Times frankly declared the govern-
ment's policy to have been a failure in all
respects. He says military rule Is Impos-
sible, creating ihe greatest dangers and
solidifying the populace In complete oppo-
sition to Britain He Indicates conditions
are worse than ever and the "sullen feel-
ing" of the people reaches far beyond the
following of the Sinn Fein.
Immediately after the closing up of their
headouarters In Dublin the Sinn Fein es-
tablished "underground" channels by
which to direct the movement.
