TRAINS DELAYED BY FERRIN ELECTED TO CAPTAIN LIEOALLEN BURNING OF TUNNEL HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY!- ARRIVES IN GOTHAM jSelf Determination Expect- eel to Participate Tur I moil Today. BY FP.ED FERGUSON: (United Press Staff Correspondent.) PARIS, Jan. 31. The next great .ifcsue to be settled by the peace con gress is self determination. Prelim inary steps toward the conaumatlon of this vital principle were expected be retaken when the bureau re sumed Its sessions this afternoon. The agreement reached yesterday regarding the disposition of German colonies does not apply to territories of Europe. The reason is, these peo ples are too far advanced In every way to permit outsiders to administer to their affairs. American Victory.' American diplomacy won a third straight victory In the peace confer ence over reactionary opposition. The official announcement that "eatisfac-' tory provisional agreements" had been reached regarding the disposi tion of German colonies anr occupied territories In Turkey and Asia means that the opposed powers have accept ed Wilson's program for placing all disputed areas under the administra tion the League of Nations with the Interested powers acting as trustees. Arguments Abandoned. The Dalmatian question is still un settled, although by accepting the principle Involved In yesterday's co lonial agreement, Italy abandoned the argument of "security" which waa her chief contention. Similar cases In clude the Czecho-Slovaks' : claim to German territory, within and border ing on Bohemia, and France's desire fr- 'more seeure frontiar-along the west bank of the Rhine. Step Toward Sclf-Dctermlnation. While it was frankly admitted In certain quarters that the self-deter1 initiation issue erhaps will precipitate more bitter disagreements than those settled yesterday, a great step haaj been taken, toward fixing the prin-j cipiecs of self-determination when in-I violability of tho armistice terms was. practically conceded. Majority Accept Nullifica tion of Secret Treaties but Cling to Hope of Gain WORLD POWERS IN BITTER WRANGLING Only Level Hearts, Steady Hands Prevent Clash at Conference. . PARIS, Jan. 81. A proverbal tem pest In a tea pot arose between the Serbs and Italians today over who beat the Austrians and over the pos session of the Austro-Hungarlan fleet. WY WILLIAM PHILLIP SIM Ma (United Press Staff Correspondent-) PARIS, Jan. 31. Difficulties are piling up as the peace bureau contin ues its sessions today. With national lite rests clashing on all sides only level heads and steady hands prevent ed a spark . from dropping Into the powder keg on which the world Is alt ting. The Serbians are still bitterly wrangling with the Italians regarding the control of Eastern Adriatic port Montenegrins continue to oppose for cible inclusion in the new Jugo Slav nation. One Adjustment Near. - ..... The Czecho-Slavs and Poles are still fighting over Silesia., although an ad justment of this affair today appeared Imminent. Austria and Roumanian are at swords' points concerning the possession of Transylvania. Germany and Poland are mobilizing against each other. The bolshevik! are warring against the rest of Rus sia. Ukralnia is fighting the bol shevik. China and Japan both want the former German colony of Kla- u chau. . Cling; to Secret Plans. Dospite the fact that majority of delegates are considering the accept ance of the fact that Wilson's four teen points nullified all secret trea ties formulated by the allies before Americas Intervention, some are still clinging to the hope that at least a part of their provisions will be car ried out. .
