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.

sion. 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.
