No historical event in the history of the world has been #o extensively nd intensively covered by the press ay this, At the height of the war in Europe the number of correspondents and special writers on the American front averaged about thirty, The number of correspondents attending | the Paris Peace Conference was small in comparison with the army that is in Washington to-day. There are 850 accredited working dally news- Paper correspondents to whom tickets of admission have beca issued and Probably 500 more correspondents and special writers who, by reason of the non-urgency of thelr duties with re- lation to the conference have been refused tickets. HOW CONFERENCE SPEECHES ARE REPORTED, As the speeches are uttered thoy are taken down by relays of experi- enced stenographers, each of whom works a few minutes and then hur- ries to 2 room in the basement, where he dictates the transcription of his notes to a dictaphone machine, A girl typist puts the receiver of the dictaphone to her ears and hammers out the words on a specially prepared wax plate, which tg put into a multi- graphing ‘machine. ‘Translaters also handle the notes, which are finally written out In English, Frengh, Dutch, Japanese and [tallan. Within a few minutes after the conclusion of each session, so smoothly does the work proceed in the basement room, each bt the 830 acevedited correspondedts who has put in a request for it finds ready for bim in the preas headquar. ters in the Navy Building, across the street, a complete copy the day's proceedings. The press room, which is guarded by armed sentries who stop anybody not equiped with a pass. is not the least interesting end of the confer- ence. At 4 o'clock yesterday after- noon there were gathered tn this room representatives of newspapers printed in ten languages. Among the Amer- jean correspondents were men and women from all sections of the United States preparing copy for little papers a big, each according to the style which he or she knew would appeal to a special constituency. Study of the correspondents shows that jour- Nalists universally are addicted to ists light up pipes when they get down to heavy thinking. The outgoing volume of presp tele- graph matter since last Friday has equalled in volume that of the aver- age national convention. Peculiarly enough, the lephone business in Washington has shown surprising in- crease since the delegates and their staffs began to arrive. A consider- able Increase was anticipated, but the number of calls dally since last Fri- day has run Mghe~ than the number registered during the war. On Fri- day—a business and Government de- partment holiday in Washington—the telephone exchanges handled 481,000 calls In etght hours. From this time on until the confer- ence meets again, each delegation, through & representative, will meet and talk with the reporters and spe- cial writers at least once every day.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (Asso- ciated Press),-A detailed statement regarding China's interests and her attitude on Far Eastern questions was made to-day by Minister Sze at the /first_ meeting of the Committee on Vacifiie and Far Eastern Questions. The crux of the Chinese preblem, it| was sald by the Chinese, was the question of contro} by the Japanese of Manchuria and Mongolia, these two Provinces being considered by the) Chinese as inseparable. It was em- ‘phasized that any abandonment of China's sovereignty or economic con- trol of the two provinces would be tantamount to the abandonment of their insistence on preservation of China's territorial {ntegrity. Maintenance of the open door in China was said to have been urged vigorously by Minister Sze, who also spoke strongly for abolition of secret treaties affecting China, und urged that hereafter all such treaties be= tween the powers be made public. The question of the disposition of Province of Shantung was not, rught up. Neither did Dr. Sze go nto the question of granting future foreign concessions ingChina. Both of these subjects, it was learned, were | to be left for future discussion. i ‘There was no response from the apanese after China had presented her view of the situation, and although | some general discussion developed all! jot the other nations represented re- | served a detailed statement of their} opinions for later presentation, tl | Indications were that the first at-/ ‘tempt to get down to casca would! be made in the meeting of the heads ot delegations later In the day. | | ‘rhe session, however, recessed at 1 ‘capable of carrying the mall or any{0'clock, delegates being guvate of |ales Coast, near the entrance to Man- Secretary Hughes at a luncheon served in the building. af Much of to-day's meeting, it was id, related to the procedure for dea!- ing with the numerous Far Eastern | questions. The consensus of opinion | was said to have been that these prob- lems were matters primarily of 1: j tional policy and most of the delega- tions were represented as averse to | bringing experts into the discussions | | as in the case of naval questions. | A few sub-committees on major Far Eastern questions, it was said, probably would be authorized, but bodies of experts probably would not be utilized to any extent in the open) committee work. | While the committee was in sen. | sion the American Advisory Bub-/ Committee on Pacific and Far East-; ern Questions, headed by Chairman Porter of the House Foreign Affairs \Cominittee, was holding Its first m ing. Data will be assembled by mem- bers of the sub-committee, which ex- pects to make recommendations, af- fecting chiefly the interests of the United States in the Pacific and Far Fast, to the American delegates. For the first time the delegations of the United States, Great Britain, Japan, France, Italy, China, Belgium, Portugal and the Netherlands, acting | as a committee of the whole on the} Far Eastern questions, assembled for preliminary discussion and to lay plans for procedure. In contrast to the manner in which the conference tackled the armament problem on its opening day, the rep- resentatives of the powers went into to-day’a committee meeting waiting on one another to speak first about the intricate questions that long have troubled diplomatic relations in the Pacific and the Orient. Of course, every nation had a rather concrete idea of the principles it meant to pre- sent once the negotiations began, but no one seemed anaious to break the joe, ‘The general prediction was that as @ result the task of drafting a method of procedure would be iatrusted to a smaller committee, just as details of the naval armament programme have ‘been left temporarily to the commit- tee of naval experts, In the case of the Far Eastera questions, however, it was expecid4, that all nine ot gh nations represented here would fhhve membership on the committee and would unite their influence to hasten the committee work so that the Far Eastern discussions might take rank ag soon as possible abreast of the more advanced negotiations on arma- ment.
