Iftlfl NEW TERMS TO BE IMPOSED BY ALLIESON HUNS President and Premiers Perfecttna Plans for Creation of Society of ' Nations and Arranqina New Arm; Istlce Conditions Other Subjects Reserved for Society to Settle. PARIS, Feb. 12. (By Associated Press.) While President Wilson and the allied premiers and generals are deeply engrossed in perfecting the plan for the creation of a society of nations and arranging the new terms to be imposed upon Germany for a renewal ot the armistice, expiring next Monday, other subjects of the greatest importance are being pre pared for the consideration of the poace conference. It is expected that the conference will spend little time discussing them, however, and will pass most of them on to the society of nations, when the latter has been created and ready to function. Foremost on this secondary pro gram are the recommendations - of the commission on International la bor legislation. The commission Is oqe of the few having an American at Its head, and Samuel Gompers, the chairman, has been pushing work along at a great rate, so that it is expected he will have a report rjbady for the conference as soon as it is ready to receive it. - -Diverse Views RroncJled : There have been- difficulties in reconciling the diverse views of Brit ish and American labor Interests, as each is radical in some respects and yet conservative in others. -' Meetings are going on today as they have almost continuously dur ing the last tew days, betweenmen who. have come to Paris at the call of ' President Wilson and the premiers to deal with great financial problems.-v. In no place is It regarded so. evi dent that there must be fullest coop eration than in the effort to restore the stability of currency, reduce price tp a reasonable level, get rid of Su perfluous issues of war paper, pre vent further excessive fluctuations of exchange and regulate the rates of interest on, and the amount of bonds to be issued. ' 'w i . To Pool Debts -' ' Steps bare been taken to commit the peace conference to the adoption of a great international pooling sys tem of debts, which shall Include all neutral- nations, whether they wish to or not. : This will meet with the most determined resistance from the American delegates, who feel that America did her full share in aiding the allies by furnishing troops and almost . unlimited supplies of money and material. They are understood to be quite willing to extend further credits to permit France to rehabili tate her industries and enable her and Belgium as well, to hold-their own- in the world's market, but they thoroly appreciate. the fact that it is beyond their power to commit their country to participate in any mon etary, credit system with European powers. They also feel that some pt these countries have been derelict in not imposing additional taxes upon their own people during the war to meet at least in part their obllga- - (ions. Instead of calculating upon re imbursement from indemnities to be collected from the enemy. "HMf"l . Dodging Discrimination -The revival of the spirit otjtbe old . Paris economic conference," which1 planned boycotts and after-the-war discriminations, is sometimearlii vi deuce during discussions. It made its appearance in the desire of one country to impose discriminatory" du ties on enemy commerce during the consideration of the plan to make all international waterways open for all nations on even terms. This was re garded as a violation of cue ofuhe "fourteen points" but the commis sion dealing with the subject is hav ing some difficulty In passing this point. ,' However, the general accep tance of the principle of international - control of such waterways to the ex tent at least of prescribing rules which shall govern navigation: and defining the riparian rights of abut ting nations, is to pave the way for ultimate, agreement in the commis sion upon a report which will prob- ably be received with approval-by the peace conference or Its legatee, the society of nations.

Ihe uermnn commander-in- chief jelized that bis onlv hope lay in escape, profiting bv his superiority in torpedo craft, low visibility, the approach of darkness and the prox imity of his bases and mine fields. The enemy at this period fired hun dreds, of torpedoes, as German offi cers since have stated. Admiral Jelli- coe continues, and although the Ger mans were in the eravest peril, the position of the grand flet itself was menaced by determined torpedo at tacks in thick weather. But the Brit ish fleet by turning its' battle line four times during the action, the ad miral savs, got clear of the torpedoes which were racing toward the Brit 4sh ships and defeated the tactics upon which the Germans based their hopes."' Admiral Jellicoe pays tribute to the skill of his captains in hand ling their ships and avoiding torpe does and collisions, while keeping their positions. ' Germans Over-Cautious ; Admiral Jellicoe explains why he did- not seek night action and refers to the more powerful German search lights, ..superiority in destroyers and the greater number of forpedo tubes fitted in the enemy ships, giving the enemy an opportunity ot scoring heavily1 at the uotset of an action, the result of which would always be a matter. chance. After estimating the relative strength of the two fleets early in the wan, Admiral Jellicoe expresses sur prise that the Germans were so cau tious nnd suys: -"If this country in the future de cides to relv for safety against raids or invasion on the fleet alone, it is essential that we possess a consider ably greater margin of superiority over a possible enemy in all clases of vessels than we did in Audtist.
