The Jugo-Slavs have likewise prepared
a, memorandum, containing six nller -
native plans for settling their differences
with Italy. According to the first plan,
Jugo-Slavla would obtain the entire ter-
rltory east of the Isonzo River," lnclud-
Ing Qorlzla, Trieste, Istrla and the whole
of Dalinatln. In the succeeding five
plans the claims are gradually scaled

A Hint or now tins, has been nccom-'
pllshcd Is seen In the official statement
mat nuamonai members are .to ne
taken Into the commission. (Later ad
vices have Indicated the probability that
besides gaining additional membership
nn the commission, the smaller powers
will be glten adequate representation
in the executive and legislative sections
of the society.)
The fact that there has been much
discussion iit the seslons of the com
mission has led to the belief in some
quarters that the succets of the plan
was endangered. It may be stated,
however, that In the opinion of the
men who are behind tills protect
sucli Is not the case. Published reports
that certain fundamental principles denr
to tne American delegation nave been
sacrificed nre declared to be untrue. It
being explained that some of the fea
tures described as discarded never were
I Included In the original American or
urmsn pians. .
I Some very effective preparatory work
was done today by the higher moving
' spirits of the league of nntlons project.
txrii itoncrt t.ecu ana tiencrai Mmuis,
representing Great Britain, both the
fathera of projects for tho creation of a
society of nations, met in the rooms of
Colonel K. M. House with Premier Or
lando, of Italy, and Dr. Wellington Koo.
the Chinese delegate. The group spent
some time In going over the whole field
and devising plans for meeting any at
tempts that might be mado to Impair. In
their opinion, the value of the original
project. ,
It Is known thnt some amendments
nre ce(taln to be offered, but the leaders
of the movement are understood to be
confident that they will be able to liolrt
their ground against any alterations
that may be, really objectionable to
them.
The fact that. Premier Lloyd George
expects to be absent from Paris for
about a fortnight is construed as an
Indication that ho does not expect tlie
scheme for a society of nations to be
advanced to the point where It would be
ready for -adoption by the Peace Con
ference Itself before the departure of
President Wilson for the United States.
If this Impression Is correct. It Is said
that President Wilson may content him
self with' taking back to America the
plan.as It Is expected to be agreed upon
by the special commission.
