PARIS, Nov. 23.-The United
State government's Immense diplo
matic snccess In obtaining from the
allied governments acceptance of
President Wilson's points, with only
one reservation and addition, is he
ft coming dally more apparent, as the
1 preliminaries for the approaching
peace congress are being outlined
largely on the basis of the presi
dent's points.
Colonel E. M. House, the special
representative of the United States
government, when be ai rived here,
found little disposition among his
American and European friends to
accept as a totality the framework
of peace a expressed by President
Wilson. Some European statesmen
considered that the points had work-
. ed as a good solvent upon Germany;
that they had served their great pur-
pose . In their- effect upon German
unity, bat that they should not be
i observed too closely when it came
to formulating the practical details
of the settlement.
Allied statesmen plalntly put for
ward the view that, as the American
traditional policy had been one of
detachment from Kuropean affairs,
, it was natnral for the American gov--f,
ernment when the war broke out in ,
Europe to consider !t a quariel
among European nations and to de-!
clar its neutrality. (
It was pointed out that for two
years and a half the American gov-
errmenl observed Its nentrality and
called the attention of both groups
of belligerents to violations of sea
law. Germany's offenses became in.
tolarable and America entered Into
th war both for that reason and be
cause America did have a community
of ideals of government and of hu
man right rights with the allies,
America, as became a great country.
. was impelled to pnt forth great ef
forts, and she did.
Allied statesmen have fully ap
preciated the effect of American arms
in winning the decision. Neverthe
less, it was contended by some, this
had been a controversy among Kuro
pean nations and the winning group,
it was suggested, supposed that
America, having accomplished her
aims, would return to her detach
ment and allow the countries inti
mately concerned to arrange a" set
- .' tlement, according to the European
v viewpoint of the situation.
These .statesmen mad it plain that
they would receive every friendly
, counsel the United States would of
fer, the more so -because they knew
that .America wanted nothing in a
material way for herself, but was in
terested only In realizing her ideals.
The losses Other belligerents have
suffered in comparison with those of
the United States alio have been elt
t as a reason for the allies having
a predominant Influence in shaping
the new order in Europe.
' These were some of the concep
' tioas put forward by the allied gov
ernments with tenacity and skill,
but always in a friendly spirit.
? The contentions of the America
government geneially and substan
tially were that It had come into the
war not alone of specific grievances
against Germany, but on account
Also of certain fundamental princi
ples of Justice and right. These
Principles had been announced with
fullness several times by the Ameri
can government and had resulted in
a treat effort by the American peo
ple. Looked at from Washington these
Prtaeipies. each time they bad been
ntinclated in part or in whole, had
been received favorably by the. Eu
ropean peoples and seemingly by the
allied governments. It was not
meant to be understood that the
American government had thought
the allied governments had formally
accepted tbem, but the attitude 'of
the ministers unofficially and of the
Press and of all eminent men out
ride the immediate administrations
snd of the peoples a a whole had
caused the conviction to prevail in
Ameroca that these principles had
bn approved and accepted as ideals
on which the war was' being prose

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25. Delay
In the announcement of the names
of the American commissioners to!
the-peace conference at Versailles I
understood to be attributed to two
causes. First, that no decision has
been reached as to the number, and
second, that all of the persons whom
the president has In mind for places
nave not yet bad an opportunity to
signify their acceptance.
It is regarded as desirable that
the number of the American commis
sioners correspond to the number
named by each of the great entente
powers. Correspondence by cable is
now going on between Washington
and the entente capitals with the
purpose of coming to a common un
derstanding on this point.
The belief obtains in some quar
ters here that the size of the delega
tion should be very restricted. A
minimum of as low as three has
been considered and five seems to
meet with some approval. It was
said today that, although this might
appear to be a small force with which
to undertake the' vast amount of Im
portant business which is to come be
fore the conference, each delegation
will be provided with a numerous
staff of experts capable of deallna
with any questions that might arise
and that probably better progress
could be made toward the conclusion
ot peace by a limited number of com
missioners who might be expected to
maintain more intimate relations
with one another than would be pos
sible with a large gathering.
In conection with the second cause
for delay in announcing the names
of commissioners, it was said that
some of those Invited to act. partic
ularly those of party affiliation op
posite to that of the president, scarce
ly would care to accept until mey

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.Hnndrel
of soldiers, tailors and marines broke
h rough a cordon of uolic surround-
ng Madison Square Garden tonight
and attacked laternstional Socialists
who had attended a mass meeting at
which UoUbevtk doctrines were ex
pounded. The men and women leaving-
the hall troke and fled as the
men In uniform charged past the po
lice bnt were pursued into the street
In all directions.
The attack on the Socialists came
at the close ot a meeting which
threatened from the moment it be
gan to break Into a riot. It was
called ostensibly to protest against
the execution of Thomas J. Mooney
but Scott Nearing. who presided, aad
the other speakers devoted most of
their attention to pleas for the re
lease of 'political- offenders .
Several men and women were ar
rested for displaying red flats smug
gled Into the garden in defiance ot
an edict by Mayor Hrlan. Larre
numbers of men la uniform entered
the building before the doors were
locked with the avowed determina
tion of preventing atUcks upon the
government. They were restrained
with difficulty by police and detect
ives from making an assault on the
stage. Scores of fist fights wera
interrupted by officers.
Soldiers and sailors who were un
able to get Into the meeting sent out
patrols to rosnd up all the men
la uniform who could be fonad to
Join the charge on the Socialists
which had been planned to take place
wnen the oratory was ended and in
ternational I its started for their
homes.
Madison siusre was the rallying
point for the military. They quickly
staged an impromptu mass meetlcr
at which speakers denounced the.
"Bolshevik!." They were cheered not
only by the men in uniform, but
by civilian sympathisers. When
someone called upon "Loyal Ameri
cans' to charge the garden and at
tack the Internationalists several
hundred responded. They were driv
en back, however, by mounted police
and men on foot who had surrounded
the buildlnx.
Realifing that they had faf.ed In
their first attack, the soldiers and
sailors resumed their meeting and
awaited the arrival of reinforcements.
Probably 1000 men of both branches
of the service had assembled by tho
time the meeting adjourned.
The opening of the doors of the
garden was the signal for the second
charge which the police were onaM
to repel. The soldiers and sailors
fought their way past swinging nltht
sticks and attacked the Socialists,
who had parked the big building.
Almost instantly, the square was
filled with yelling, running, flghtln
men. The screams of women, most
of them wearing red roses or carna
tions in lieu of the forbidden fU.
rose above the din as they clawed and
scratched the soldiers and sailors
who were pumniellng the male' So
cialists. Mounted police, reinforced by auto
mobile loads of reserves, rushed from
every station house within a radios
of miles, strnrrled valiantly to clear
the square, but made little progress,
.nldlers and sailors, thoroughly an
gered by what they considered an in
vidious attack on the flag, they had
sworn to defend, paid little attention
to Mows from night sticks. They
were bent on getting revenge from
the Internationalists and many ot
them succeeded.
The square was cleared of milling
men only when the Socialists by ones
and twos in groups broke and fled.
The scrimmage In the park was then
transferred on a smaller stale to into
every neighboring street.
Groups' of Socialists soon were run
ning along Fifth avenue, a half a
north and south of Twenty-sixth
street, pursued by shouting uni
formed men. most ot them hatless
and ccatless. f
When they went to the meeting the
men. almost without exception, wore
red neckdes because red flags were
nnder official ban. These red ties
were the special mark of soldiers and
sailors. After the firht they were
cherished as souvenirs.
Hundreds of the Socialists wer
beaten, but so far as could be learned
none was seriously hurt.
The police had the situation well
In band an hour after the clo of .
the Meeting and the street was
cleared except for stragglers.
