As @ result. they are redoubling their efforts to combat the monarchical propagandists.

The impending arrival of Ir Wilson, together with the league of nations program suggested by Vie count Grey, former secretary of state for foreign affairs, has given a fresh impetus fo discussion of the subject. 1t was inthnated by well informed | peryons that the allies are beginning conversations regarding the league. but that no attempt will be made at actual codification of ite laws until the principal terms of the peace treaty are disposed of Some students of international af fairs suggested the following as a possible program Discussion of the league will con tinue informally, as at present The general peace terms will be formulated at the inter-allied confer: | ence, making acceptance of the league of nations a part of the de. mands to be made upon the central powers These terms will be presented and ratified at the general conference in Vermailies Then the conference, without dis solving, will proceed to work out all the details of the league. Some argue that the league will be held valueless unless it were uni versal, which would be impossible now, they say, on account of the po litical and economic situation in Ger many and Russia.
