nt n dinner tonight President Wilson
touched on the future role -of inter

"One of .the (liinns that bus dis
turbed me in recent months." he snid.
"is the unniinliiied hope men have en
tcrlained everywhere of immedinte
emancipation of things that have
bumpered nnd oppressed them.; You
cannot, in hnmnn experience, rush
into the light. You bnve to go
through twilight into the broadening

sec to it that those who hone nre not
disappointed bv showing them the
processes bv which the hone - must
be realised the processes of low, the
processes of slow disentanglement
from the manv things that have
bound us in the oust.
"The intelligent development of in

things of most conseonenee to men
n the future. If we can now eive
to international law the kind of vi
tality it eun have 'onlv if it is the

was intended to emphasize."'.' '
Tho president concluded bv saving

REFUSE TO SIGN

PARIS. Muv 9. (Bv the Asso
ciated Press.) It seems unlikely
that the Chinese will sign the treatv
of peace unless China is given writ
ten assurance bv the council of three
that Japan will return Kiuo Chau to
China. - The Chinese delegates sny
the clause in the treatv contains no
such provision, their own bnsis for
believing Hint such u restitution will
be made being n verbal agreement.
Without n definite written promise
from the council of three, tbev believe
it imposlsble to gain permission from
the Chinese cabinet for the signature
of the treutv. - -
: Without- such .written promise .the
Chinese delegates hold their position
to be worse than under -the Jnpanese
treaties which specifically pledge the
return of Kino Chau. The Chinese
contention is being watched with
much interest because it raises
