But it is held that this appropriation lapsed on January 1 the same as the regu lar appropriations made by the . last legislature. This being the case, and there being no provision of law whereby the 'military-police is rec ognized as a regularly constituted state body, the only lecourse, it is stated, is for the passage V a spec ial deficiency appropriation bill by the legislating to pay the men for, the time which they fr-ave put in be tween Januarr 1 and the time the legislature finally determines what shall become of thcrorganlzation. The eovernor has stated on past occasions that . he believes a small compact state constabulary should be maintained, advocating tna in his message to the last legislature and. it is understood that it Is his plan to make the present organisa tion of the police the basis for such a constabulary providing the legis lature listens tohls wishes in that regard. - ' It la known that thero Is some op position to- the police and the con stabulary plan among the members, but whether it goes as far as to set a move on foot to deny the men th -salarv that they must look to the leeislature for to cover their rer- vioes from January 1 remains to de- elOD. ..' The organization was created as b war measure to nroUct the ship yards, zrain fields and industries closely connected np wi.h war work. They have been -used, however, on occasions for chasing convicts and catching bootleggers and other pur poses which, regularly fall to the lot of the civil autnoriues. The governor has expressed him self more than once as believing that his office thould be backed up bv some mobile force which could be used independent of the civil au thorities, more orless dependent upon the electorate' of their coramc- nities for the position. The consti tution provides .that . the executive shall see that the laws are faithfully executed and it is to carry out this constitutional provisions that he originally suggested the need for a state constabulary.

In addition to the' conferences that President Wilson had with Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Soanino and others. Premier sClemenceaa spent some time at American headquarters and was followed there later by Pre mier Venitelos ml Greece. Premier Venixelos has presented a written memorandum of Greek aspirations and is supplementing it with vigorous personal representation. At the same time Secretary Lan sing, Colonel House and Lord Robert Cecil continued their conferences on the subject of a league of nations. The conferences are said to be rap-; idly giving precise form to the pro ject. While the delay in the arrival in Paris of Premier Lloyd. George might postpone the gathering of President Wilson and of 'the entente powers, the opening session, of the inter-allied conference, the conferences go ing on and the appointment of a delegation by one of the' great pow ers are giving the peace congress the aspect of an active organization. tPARIS, Jan. 9.
