WON! ENTER Bill
Government Believes No Good
Coald Come At Present
From Such Action.
Washington, Jan. 10. Ths American
government has no present intention of
sending its forces to Berlin.
That fact was learned on high offi-
cial authority today in the wake of ,
the Prussian capital revolution and tho
new hints that doughboys would bo
woleomod.
The propaganda in favo of Ameri
can occupation emanate mainly from
tho middle of the road group.
The United States government, be
lieves that intervention international
ly now would provoke trouble rather
than settle it.
Whiie early advices indicate a trend
toward dofiat of the Liebki.echt group
it is pointed out here that the Sparta-
cus men, as the aggressive torcc, arc
seeking to dominate the coining eleu-
tions, even
though past tests have
sliown thoy constitute a minority.
Should ttio Spartacus group gain con
trol, indemnities will bs refused, it is
said, and tho only way to collect them
will be by force.

Pans, Jan. 10 The British may kv
ta' honor of fathering th definite plan
for application of :PreBideat Wilson '
priaeipla of lcagu of nation.
. The impression was growing hers to
dry that plans formulated by incmbere ,
be adopted by the peace eonfarance. It
is known that the America alelegatat
are sympathoticclly studying ideas ad
vanced by the British official and it
is bolieved the president, who has form
ed his own p:an, iB insdned toward
tho British piogram.
Added siiduth has beon given to
this view by Hie fact that Lord Cecil,
assistant irceUiir. of state for forcigu
affairs, who lobg ago took n advanced
attitude on this subject, is engaged in
constantly lengthening , conference!
with the American representatives. Oth
or influential members of the British
acbinot also submitted data regarding
tho league of n&tions, which tho Amerr
cans aro studying thoroughly and with
growing approval. '
Cecil's plans, it is known contemplate
far more powor for tho league than has
beou suggosted from other allied sourc
es. It is believed also that he is in
clined toward Wilson's attitude, that
Germany should be admitted to proba
tionary membership. Cecil has often ei
pressed tho view that formation of tho
leaguo u tho most important and should
be the first work of tho pec., w. ,

more and more information snd better
distribution. Each nation is in a posi

nation wonld benefit by others' contri

newer countries, little thought ha beea
given te soil fertility, crop rotation,
animal nd plant breeding; Introdue
tion of newer typos of plants, or th
improvement of thoso already cultivat

farms have been exhausted and absn
doned. Is State Institution.
The International Instituto of Agri
