CONTRAST SEEN IN FRANCE Belief, However, Is That Clemen- ceau's Recent Speech Gave Per- ; sonal, Not Official Views, BT HERBERT BAYARD SWOPE. (Copyright. 1!)19, by the New Tork World. rubiisned Dy Arrangement.; PARIS, Jan. 6. (Special Cable.) Among the many reactions produced by the President's visit to England, one stands out clear and unqualified, and that is the closeness of the British In terests with those of America and the desire on the part of .the British states men to accentuate the solidarity of the two nations. In seDarate Dublic statements both the President of the United States end the Premier of Great Britain agreed that all possibility of friction between the two countries was eliminated and that a working formula had been reached. Two Nations Are Together. From direct intimations given to American newspaper correspondents who accompanied Mr. Wilson to Eng land, . it appears that the two nations will stand shoulder to shoulder in the peace conference, and through their power and example will bring about the adoption of the league of nations, which will greatly simplify the details of the final terms. The complete rapproachement be tween Great Britain and the United States was seen clearly by Von Tirpitz, who, in the celebrated manifesto issued in August, 1916, said it was useless for the Germans to attempt to. deceive themselves with the hope of the friend ship of the United States, because soon er or later Deutschtum would have to fight. Anglo-Americantsm. Von Tlrpits Proves Prophet. He spoke prophetically both as to the final phase of the war and the new de velopments of peace. The rift within the lute that threat ened to keep the two nations from playing the same tune was .over the matter of the freedom of the seas. On that point, as I said previously in these (Concluded on Page 10, Column 2.) (Concluded on Page 6, Column 4.) WONT SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE THEM AN INTRODUCTION ? 7 ( Body W ill Be All United States and Act Independently of Allied Governments. BY HERBERT BAYARD SWOPE. (Copyright by the New Yosk World. Pub lished by arrangement) PARIS, Jan. 6. (Special Cable.) Another commission will be dispatched by the American commissioners within a few days following the departure of a special body sent to Austria for in vestigating purposes. Announcement of this plan was made today by Colonel E. M. House. It Is'noteworthy that it is the first mission to be sent without representatives of the allied nations in accompaniment. ' While nothing has been said about the second body, I am told it will be organized in a few days and will go into Germany for the purpose of defi nitely ascertaining political and social conditions within the former empire. As the peace sessions come nearer the necessity becomes greater for de termining as far as possible the pre cise nature of the situation within the Teutonic realm so that a foreknowl edge may be obtained as to the proba bility of the successful enactment of such terms as may be laid down. Observers will be charged with the need of scrutinizing closely the depth and sincerity of reforms and the course taken by the National elections to be held January 19. The conviction is growing stronger daily that the allies and America would have the greatest success with the Ebert government, since the defeat of the provisional establishment would be the signal for a new outburst of Bol shevism, a recurrence of which would be more difficult to stop.

Colonel Proud of Sons. He was proud of his soldier sons and their heroism, but he was a de voted father, and he grieved for the one who gave his life for his country, as well as for the other who was I wounded. 7Ie hid his suffering from the world, however, in the hope that he might set an example for other fathers and mothers who had given their sons to the Nation. To the last Colonel Roosevelt had been preaching "Americanism" and few realized that his health had been shattered. It was believed that the rugged constitution which had stood him in such good stead through so many years of "sttenuocs" life would not fail him and that he would regain his usual health. His messages of late however, had been delivered through the medium of editorials or public statements instead of as ad dresses. Even to his neighbors in Oyster (Cunciu'ied on Pago i. Column J.)

The names of.Vilna, Lemberg and Kiev are being writtan in blood-red letters along the western frontier of Russia, and scores of smaller ernes lying Detween tne cities also are being destroyed by the Bolsheviki. Ac cording to trustworthy reports reach ing Warsaw, the Bolsheviki are adding the tortures of the dark ages to the customary horrors of guerilla warfare. The Poles are making a gallant de fense of Lemberg with limited means, but the Bolshevik Ukrainians, aided by German guns and German gunnecs, slowly are destroying the city. The besiegers are estimated to number 60, 000. Few Civilian Escape City. Only a few of the civilian population have been able to escape from the city. Polish troops are being aided in the defense of the city by many citizens of Lemberg, including girls tnd boys. The archbishop of Lemberg is au thority for the statement that girls taken prisoners by the besiegers are outraged and tortured. The archbishop says that the cruelties of the Bolshe viki have no parallel in modern history. Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, is rap idly getting Into the hands of the Bol sheviki. The separatist leader, Pctlura, is declared to have reached an agree ment with Trotzky and Lenine and Rus sian Bolshevik troops are spreading southwestward. The terms of the alli ance between Petlura and the Moscow government are said to provide that the two states shall retain their mutual independence and that no obstacle shall be permitted to prevent the teaching " of Bolshevik doctrines.

Stores valued at 18. 000,000 rubles are said to have fallen into the hands of the Bolshevik at Kiev. On the northern, end of the line the Poles are striving to protect Vilna from the Bolshevik flood.
