OULAHAN Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger I CSpvrisM. ISIS, lv A'eto York Times Co. Paris, Dec. 17. The President has been In Paris since Saturday without indicating In atl r any authoritative way the attitude he will assume in dealing with the Allied representatives on tho problems re lating to tho negotiation of the peace treaty. It is becoming apparent, however, from what is said by those in a posl tlon to know his mind, that he has not come to France with a hardand-fast formula for tho adjustment of these problems. On tho contrary, his notion appears to be that no single nation will be able to determine what Is best to insure future world peace. " It Is no secret that fear has existed in Europe, and to some extent in America, that the President had for mulated views which would not admit of compromise. Quite the opposite seems to be true. and there Is reason to believe that tno ; representatives of the Allied Govern t ments will And him ready to under stand and nppreclato the considera tions broucht forward by them, which seemingly conflict with the popular conceptions of American governmental ( aspirations. Wants Frank Exchanjfe of Views The President has come to Paris, according to reliable information, with the purpose of having a frank ex change of vieus with the Allied plenl- potentlarlcs this exchange to be pre ' liminary to any actual determination of the American program For example and this cannot be too strongly emphasized- he is not inflex ible in his views as to the organization of the league of nations for the pres ervation of peace. Ills heart is set on the league project, but it is understood that he is impressed by the fact that, with a divergence of opinion among the associated nations on this subject, it may be Impossible to effect an agree ment which will go to the extent that some hope for it ex-President Taft, for example. In this spirit of accommodation the President may be expected to take the position that the league at the outset should be looiely formed that Is, not V bound by terms which pledge its mem bers to use armed force to discipline other members .which violate the prln- EJKf ciples or me league. wfjf .

It is understood that tho views of the President do not contemplate what would amount to an offensive and defensive alliance.

During the last few days the foreign govern ments have been canceling the char ters of ships used by the United Stales In transporting troops, so that the es sels might be put back In trade , An amendment to this has now been suggested from Allied quarters by which an interallied commission would con trol for the period of one year the dis tribution of raw materials to -various countries.

SEES NO RISK OF RIFT ON FREE SEAS POINT London, Dee. 17. (By A P.). In thg course of an article analyzing the American lews on the freedom of the seas, the legal correspondent of the Times, after referring to modifications In these views that have resulted, he says, from the war, continues: "Far from there being any necessary antagonism between the British and American views of the so-called freedom of the seas, there is revealed, as the discussion proceeds, the possibility of an, Anglo-American agreement respecting the main lines of the declaration of maritime rights and duties, to be worked out in detail, not at the Peace Con ference, but at future conferences. "The law of the past has been the same in both countries. The prize courts In England and tn America have followed the same rules This agree ment1 may be continued if there is recognition of the facts as they are, among which are the unique position of England and the scattered, frag mentary character of her empire." Enumerating, the points on which he assumes agreement can even be reached, me correspondent goes on: "Both countries doubtless would In slst on restrictions being imposed on. submarine war, ana me practice or strewing mines in the open sea ia con demned both by Great Britain and the United States.

The Times, tn an editorial, emphasizes Its conclusion that there is no antago nism between the British andtAmerlcan views, and It sees no reason why an agreement should not be concluded. In one form or another. It argues, the doc trine of continuous oyage as developed by England In this war, "latterly with the full consent of the United States." Is sure to become a part of recognized i In ternational law.

Herr Mueller, In presenting the report of the executive committee to tho con gress of Soldiers and Workmen's Coun cils, according to a report from Berlin, announced that Carl 'Kautsky had ex amined the documents tn tho German Foreign Office and had been unable to flpd that any had been destroyed. He confirmed the report that the resigna tion of Doctor Solf, the Foreign Min ister, had been accepted by tho Govern ment. Tho elections to the National Assem ply In tho former Orand Duchy of Meck lcnberg were announced to the( congress of Soldiers and Workmen's Councils In Berlin and are as follows: Socialists, 2; Liberals, 16: ' handlcraftmen," 3, and peasant party, 1. A general meeting of the Independent Socialist party has decided that tne party shall -vote in favor of a national assembly. The Berlin correspondent of the Berllngske TIdeno of Copenhagen says this Is a great defeat of tho Sparta cus group." Berlin, Dec. 16 (Delayed) Tne scene In the Parliament chamber was a striking one when the national Soldiers and Workmen's meeting was called to order, today, Tho room was filled wltlj soldiers In field gray uniforms. Mingling with them were workers In Bhabby clothes. There were also a few sailors. .And this room formerly was tenanted only by legislators In the most formal and correct dress. Thero was one woman delegate and there were ssveral women In the au dience They wero tho first ever to enter the chamber. Half a dozen officers sat on the rostrum, which was draped with the red banners of socialism The first business transacted was the election of officers Major Lelnert, of Hano'ver, a former member of the Itelchstag and a supporter of Schelde mann. was chosen to preside Three alternates were selected The session got under way with military precision. TEUTONS ADOPT QUEER METHODS OF GOVERNMENT Extremists Have Definitely Lost Their Hold on Capital By JOSEPH HERRINGS Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Copvrioht, 1918, bit New York Timia Co, Berlin, Dec. 15 Via Copenhagen, Dec. 17. Delegates from the Soldiers and Workers' Councils of all Germany will meet In Berlin tomorrow to elect a common executive committeo in place of the present orie and to vote on the question when the national convention is to be assembled. In Berlin the election of delegates resulted In an overwhelm! victory for tho majority Socialists, who elected four, against the Independent Social ists' two, meaning that the latter and their allies, the Spartacldes, have definitely lost their hold on the Ger man capital. This, however, does not preclude the possibility of some strange manifestations that may prove at tomorrow's convention that Lleb knecht, Luxemburg and company are not dead yet. Delegations from most of the other districts will, according to all Indica tions, he even more antl Spartacus than Berlin's, and most probably the vote will be for a very much earlier election to the national convention than that fixed by the Government thus, far. If one considers that on the convocation of the "national conven tion the Soldiers and Workers' Coun cils will cease to exist, the delegates and their constituencies will certainly deserve to be commended for their patriotic attitude In otIng to ac celerate their own termination In office. Tho agitation in nearly the whole press, with the exception of that of tho Independents' and the Spartacldes' or ganizations, against the Soldiers and Workers' Councils Is to a large extent responsible for this spirit." Doubtless most of the councils nave tne Dest intentions, but their activity In many cases Has assumed noi oniy a gru- tpsnue but even a lawless aspect, espe cially so in certain suburbs of Berlin and other large cities such as Bremen, Hamburg, Dresden, Dusseldorf and Munich. Bolshevik Methods Introduced In Neukolln, Relnlckendorf and Marlendorf, all suburbs of Berlin, the Soldiers and Workers' Councils, with, the aid of the Spartacldes, have intro duced Bolshevik methods, dealing with the municipal officeholders as if they were office boys and removing them ad llhltum. Neukolln has al ready been nicknamed New Moscow. The mayors and municipal parlia ments of all three subuibs have been discharged by ukase of the Soldiers and Workers' Council, which disputed their legality on the ground that they wero elected by the old three-class bal lot system.

LEDGERPHILADELPHIA; TUESDAY, VIETS REJECT RADICALS and Workers' Councils are dividing tho patronage and other spoils among themselves and their friends in true Tammany Hall fashion. Somo of these new-fangled bosses delight in playing Raroun Al Itaschld in most unexpected ways. A number of soldiers who have re turned from Jhe war found their hearts changed and wanted dlvorces.but either could not find any court to pronounce decrees against their wives or would not even take the trouble of proceeding against them. So they called on the all mighty chief of tho soldiers' coun cil, who without ceremony, cut the knots that neither priest nor Judge could untie. But what these chiefs like best, be cause It Increases their popularity with the people, Is to descend upon the house of some unsuspecting rich hoarder and despoil his storerooms Df his jams, cof fee, butter, cheese and other good things, which are then publicly sold at prices fixed by the Government, much below; those of legitimate trade. In many cases, too, the spoils or such raids are simply appropriated by the raiders them selves. Create Great Confusion These council bosses are very jealous of each other, and delight In undoing? each other's ordeB, creating an Incredi ble confusion, which works havoc with Industry and public affairs These Soldiers and Workers' Councils, however, have some polntB to their credit, which accounts for the Govern ment having tolerated them so far. They exert a certain authority over elements that otherwise, In these revolutionary times, would probably prove absolutely ungovernable. Besides, they are the. only effective agency for propagating the revolution In regiments returning from the front, which are still possessed of the old military spirit, and, what 4s more even, they are sworn enemies of any reactionary actlv lty among the offi cers and Junkers. There have been a great many cases recently In which officers have tried to build their men Into the old state of pre-revolutlonary submission, which had nothing In common with discipline, and they might hae succeeded If the Sol diers' Councils had not been Interested. Many officers .who have recently re turned have been unable to realize the change that has taken place, and re fuse to take the consequences They evidently still cherish the fond hope that things will change ngaln, and they would gladly help them change, to which end they wish to preserve the old relations between officers and men Such cases are too numerous to re count here, but the officers figuring In them Invariably bear the names of now hated Junker families. Yesterday one attempted to imitate the example of Martin., Hatuschka and Ithelnbaden, which led to the bloody riots December 6 An officer of a detachment quartered In the university was called late last night by telephone to proceed with his men to the nearby royal castle to sup press a revolt among the sallorB guard ing it. There might hae been nnother even more sanguinary encounter had not People's Commissioner Barth appeared at the university In the nick of time to prevent 'it. Telephoned Orders False Investigation proved that the officer In the university had supposedly re ceived his orders by telephone from the headquarters of the chief commander of the Berlin garrisons. The commander declared that no such orders had been Issued from his headquarters Thanks to an untiring search by the Soldiers' Council, the culprit sqems already to have been discovered ln-the person of a young officer, a supposed friend or Mutuschka. The researches of the Soldiers Coun cil, too, led to the discovery of a plot by young aristocratic students who planned to send a de'egatlon consisting of the two brothers Von Heckendorf to Cologne to request the American troops to come to Berlin, as the authorities here were declared to be unable to keep order The antl-Semetlc movement, too, has been traced to junker officers by the Soldiers' Council, which only yesterday excluded one popular member named Strobel from Its executive committee for aiding that movement by publishing a provocatory signed article In the Deutsphe Tages Zeltung. Likewise the circulation of millions of handbills In citing Jew-baiting has been .traced to tho machinations of Irresponsible junkers and officers wishing to create confusion and trouble for the people's commls. sloners' government. The Government has 'warned the originators of these handbills that they will be severely pun ished. Some of the papers today advise the Btrlln council to Inspire the local Sol diers' Council at Potsdam with a little more revolutionary spirit. .The officers of the guard regiments there are pre tending still to live In pre-revolutlonary times The other day they ordered a, certain regiment to do royal Honors to Prince Joachim, the ex-Kaiser's youngest son. Prince Eitel Friedrlch's home 'is rapidly becoming the center of all uni formed gentry whose names end with "In," "Hz" and "ow." No Invitation to Joffe It will be remembered that the Berlin Soldiers and Workers' Councils' execu tive committee about 'a week ago. In a state of absent-mindedness, replied In a friendly tone to a Russian wireless mes sage suggesting that Joffe participate In tomorrow's congress as Russia's repre sentative. Joffe took this for an Invita tion, though It was afterward made clear that such had not been Intended. I .dvmrM .br.S'M -lM fmtliff-v : lIMliTiiiM V" ...Jsaias-fcj.

" V rjvkC Nevertheless, Joffo journeyed to the Russo-German frontier, trying vainly to cross it at several points. At each point the local Soldiers' Council turned him back. According to a Breslau telegram, however, Joffe succeeded last night in crossing Into German territory, having bribed members of one local council with a large hum of money and, dlsgulsed,and aided by Llebknecht's adherents.

' Count xu Reventlow publishes an arti cle In the Deutsche Tages-Zeltung hint ing at the necessity of Improving the relations between Germany and America, because of Frarco-Brltlsh intimacy with Japan. The article closed: The German people in their present poBltlon will find nopHce too high which the United States might demand for a positive relation." v , There Is danger of a general strike In the coal mines of the Ruhr district unless the Government finds a way to pre vent It. A strike started at Thyssmen's mine, the "Deutscher Kaiser," on December 12, when B000 men laid down their tools Since that time half a dozen other mines have become affected, 6000 more men trllflnfl. Instead or an elgnt-nour aay, ib miner's demanded a seven-hour shift and jtwenty marks per day besldeB extra compensation of 1,000 marks for every man who was working underground for four years In some cases mey mreai ened the destruction of the mines and buildings, unless their demands are granted. The local Soldiers Council are protect ing the mlnese against riots, but they sympathize with the strikers and may go over at any time.

They tried to overwhelm tho German guards The latter at first flr.,1 hlnnlr ofirtrlricres This having no effect, they fired bullets, which killed- nine and wounded several """. whereupon the latter resumed work. The Krupps have notified their work ers that many foremen and most of the 200.00CV workers employed thero must be dismissed, as there Is only work for about 12,000 men. At present the Krupps are paying 2,000.000 marks wages dally for unproductive work or no work at all, and when the capital of the firm Is used up, there will be nothing left but stone walls, scrap Iron and debts Vorwacrts, commenting on this news from Essen, says that tho Government must at once undertake public works that will keep the great plants going. Reports from Hamburg tell ota coun cil of seamen formed ttiere for the pro tection of all seafaring men. This coun cil declares Itself a legal body, which must be consulted on all questions con cerning the merchant marine, marine courts and shipowners The owners are expected to pay the council's expenses, which threatens to sink all merchantmen unless Its demands are granted. The Berllner-Tageblatt and the Vos slsche Zeltung appeared again this morning and Werthelm's department store reopened, in all cases the strikers at these establishments got what they asked.
