0. P. CHIEFS WILL FIGHT SMITH'S PLAN FOR SOCIAL REFORM (By the Associated Press. Paris, January 2 "The principal object which Col. E.

M. Ilouso had In view In going to see President Wilson this morning was to tell him tho result of a conference he had had the evening before with Premier Clemen-ceau," sal da member of the American delegation to the l'eace Congress to a representative of tho Petit Journal, uccording to an article In that newspaper this morning. "The conference," continued the American, "was on the subject of the various outstanding problems, and also on the subject of the Premier's speoch in the Chamber of Deputies, In which he related a conversation ho had had with President Wilson. "Col. House," the American went on, "thoroughly went Into as a whole and in detail, all the problems which the statesmen will be called upon to solve.

Col. House also told President Wilson about the interview he had had with A. J. Balfour, the British Ior-eign Secretary, a few moments after leaving Premier Clemenceau. The Colonel said he had discussed the organization of the Peace Conference with the British delegate.

The newspaper quoted tho American bs adding that Secretary Balfour and Col. House found themselves in agreement on the subject (presumably covering that touched upon in Col. House's talk with Premier Clemenceau). and that their opinion, "as well as that of all the American representatives, Is Identical, and that Lngland and tho United States are in German capital Gustavo Poske, member of the Kbert cabinet, in charge of military affairs, is said to have ordered the Fifth German Division to meet the Poles. ing each of the great nations at the conference is likely to be Increased beyond five, the number previously considered probable, by the inclusion of several delegates who may exchange places with others, taking part In the conferences only when the special subjects upon which they are authorities are being considered.

Arthur J. Balfour, the British Foreign Secretary, favors an Increase in the number of representatives, and his proposition appears to be receiving favorable consideration. Mr. Balfour made his desire known during his conference with Col. E.

M. House on Tuesday. American representatives who would probably bo among these "interchangeable" delegates are: Herbert Hoover, the Food Administrator; Edward M. Hurley, head of the Shipping Board; Bernard M. Baruch, Admiral Benson and Vance McCormlck, head of the War Board, who is on his way here.

Preliminaries Soon to Begin. As the time of the opening of the Peace Conference approaches it is becoming clear that thero must be much preliminary work done and many sectional conferences held before a general gathering of the delegates of all the accredited powers about tho peace table will bocome possible. The American delegation is apparently convinced that the many complexities of the situation and the great number of powers participating will render Impossible the holding of general meetings in the immediate future. Conversations between representatives of the Allies will begin at the French Foreign Office immediately upon the return to Paris of Premier Clemenceau, which is expected to be about January 6 or 7. The Premier is now taking a brief rest in La A'endoe.

President Wilson is expected back in Paris at the beginning of next week, while Premier Lloyd-George will ur-rlvo Saturday. His Task Is to Convince Them His Ideals Can Be Made Workable. Eagle Bureau. 53 Hue Cambon, By C. V.

BItAIXERD. (StB Correspondent Brooklyn Daily rjigic.) Paris, December 17 (Mail) While the populace of France has been interesting itself in the human aspects of Woodrow Wilson, the Allied statesmen with whom he must transact the business of peace are subjecting him to a searching scrutiny to learn whether he is a practical man. They know that he is the world's foremost spokesman for idealism. They want to know whether he is able to make his ideals accomplished facts; whether ho. has a program that will translate Into deeds the great word pictures that he has painted before the eyes of humanity.

If the President does not prove himself to bo a practical man in the judgment of Allied statesmen, he cannot hope for the success of his ideals. No matter how excellent his intentions, they will go for little unless he can back them up with working program. At this day it is already known that the President bus a program. He has a plan for the league of nations and. a plan for the freedom of the seas.

These plans are unquestionably subject to change; they are adaptable to circumstances that may arise. Peace-making Is a give-and-take affair, and no nation will got all that it. demands. But the President foresaw that he must not come to Paris without a program, which would serve as a basis for American negotia until he reached Paris. He was well aware of the conditions he would meet, and of the personalities of the men with whom he would have to deal.

So he came prepared. He did not come with the idea of meeting hostility to his ideals; he believes that they can be carried into practical effect, and that he can ahfiw tho way for such a result. Further than that, the President realizes to the full the commanding position occupied tociuy oy the United States as a world 1'ower, and he is prepared to make the most of it. He is meeting the men of Europe on a basis of reason and Justice, and ho is explaining to I hem why and how and when certain things can be done: This Peace Conference is the greatest heart-to-heart talk 'in the history of the world. The cards are rapidly being laid on the table.

And Woodrow Wilson, Idealist though he may be, is extremely fur from being a novice. Geneva, January 2 The Polish army which is marching toward Berlin has as its object "a tearing raid into Germany," according to the Polish agency at Lausanne. The infantry is well armed and is supported by artil Miss Armel in Hospital After Hold-Up and Robbery -Outbreak of Crime in Borough. Brooklyn police today are busy investigating rural holdups and stabbing affrays reported since Monday. Chief among them is the murderous attack upon Helen Armel, a young woman of 770H 20t.li ave.

Miss Armel was taken to the Coney Island Hospital on Tues-. evening about 8 o'clock for for a severe scalp wound, which sho received from a footpad who held her up while sho was walking on 78th between 17th and lKth halt (in hour earlier. Mis3 Armel had gone out to meet a friend, but before she reached the place of appointment a. man, whose, description sho is unable to give to the police, suddenly attacked her with a blunt instrument, striking her on the head with it and knocking her down. He stole her handbag, which contained about J20.

The block where the holdup took place has no gas lamps. The young woman was found bleeding profusely from the wound tn her head by Capt. Edward Conradt of; the 69th who called the Miss Armel will recover from Ui-( wound. People living in the vicinity of Vienna and Hcgeman started on a hunt last night for a negro who is thought to have been one of the two assailants of Mrs. Madeline Greenhouse, the i'l-year old wife of Charles Greenhouse.

Mrs. Greenhouse is living with her parents, Mr. nnd Mrs. Charles Haupert, at 827 Sheffield ave. Shortly after 11 o'clock last night she left the house to go to the bakery and on her way back stopped in a friend's.

Her father, who is a produce dealer, was coming home at, this t'me anil noticed a tall negro attempting to pick up something that appeared to bo an umbrella. When questioned by r. Haupert the man walked away. A few minutes later, at home. Mr.

Albany, January 2 The Republican leaders who are In command of the majority party in tho Senate and Assembly am already laying plans for ik fight against the legislative recommendations of Governor Smith, who is a. Democrat. The proposals of Mr. Smith, as set forth in his llrst message t0 the Legislature, particularly those urging social reform legislation, maternity and health insurance, are obnoxious to tho Uepublieans. Some sympathy is expressed for his public service reform program, particularly the Governor's advocacy of a separa-lion of the construction and regulating functions of the New York City Commission, but there is opposition to Mr.

Smith's suggestion that the regulatory work be placed in the hands of two men, one for the up-State and another for the Metropolis. This is generally regarded as a drive for control of the commissions. Some Republicans believe that Smith will drop this If he gets control, through appointment, of the present commissions with the resignations of Chairman Hubbell and Commissioner Ord-way. Smith needs but one moro to secure control of the New York body and there is a rumor in Albany that Commissioner Hervey of Brooklyn is going to furnish this by handing in his resignation soon. The first break between the Governor and the Legislature mado its appearance yesterday when Speaker in his speech to the lower House, advocated the immediate ratification of the proposed federal dry law.

Smith in his message urged that the question be submitted to tho people as a referendum first. Sweet Opposes Smith. Today Sweet went still further in his opposition to the proposals of Smith, "We hear much about social reforms advocated in the Bolshevik and Socialistic propoganda," he said.

Federal Attorney Henry Ward Beer. This is the slate that has been made out and O. by the Democratic forces and will be acted on in a few days, was the word passed today in political circles. There is no doubt at all of Magistrato Nash becoming the successor of Uobert 11. Roy on the County Court Bench, and none regarding Dale's and Fish's appointment, to the lower court.

O'Neill, it is said, can have the Magisterial job If he wants it, but has not yet signified his intention of accepting it. Should he decline it would pass to a dark horse. It is understood that A. I. Nova would not accept the magistrate's job.

Beer's candidacy for Federal Prosecutor France's job will receive the support of the Democratic organization, it was stated authoritatively. Magistrate Nash, whose ten-year term expires February 1, and whose reappointment to the Magistrates bench was deemed impossible imuu of his difference with Mayor llylan, will be elevated to the County Court bench as the result of the fiat refusal of Special Sessions Justice A. V. B. Voorhees to accept that position.

Justice Voorhees, faced with the alternative of surrendering a ten-year job for a temporary office to which he would soon have to be elected, decided to stand pat in his present position. By a strange turn, Lawrence Fish is to receive the place of the newly electedl Municipal Court Justice O. Grant Esterbrook, who defeated Fish for the Justiceship by a scant 400 votes. Ex-Congressman Dale will get MacMahon's place as City Magistrate and O'Neill if he wants it, msy have the place Inft vacant by the resignation of Magistrate Nash. The reported settlement on Magistrate Nash for the.

County Judgeship had the unforeseen result of bringing to tho fore the name of Henry Ward Beer as candidate for the Foderal District Attorney's office, from which Melville J.

tions; so ho brought one. Is Dealing; With Practical Men. In the negotiations now in progress, which, though outwardly informal, are the most important that will be held, the President is dealing with men who are eminently practical. They are less associated with idealism than he. Uach Is determined to obtain what he can for Ills own country.

Their peoples fought for self-preservation and also for material gain, and not for a league of nations or for freedom of the seas. Those were matters that were brought into the war by the American President. He stands as their sponsor. It. Is up to him to show how they can be realized.

The're will be no League worthy of the name, unless Mr. Wilson can show how it is to be organized and managed. Those negotiations, necessarily, are tho greatest test of Wilson statesmanship, Wilson influence and Wilson practicality. Hitherto, at home, tho President has done business with men of lesser stature and power than himself. Today, he Is dealing with men who are his equals, who speak for great nations, just" us ho speaks for one.

Powerful at the peace table and of dominating personality, sits Clemenceau, the French Premier: a man of irigid opinions, of courage and of stubbornness. Clemenceau is distinctly a conservative. He has never given himself to the idealism found in tho utterances and acts of the American President. He is a practical man, If ever one was, hard-headed to the last degree. Clemenceau will have to be shown, when it comes to putting ideals Into practice.

Ho stands tor France, first and last; not for internationalism, unless it. be a secondary consideration that will not lutcfcre with tho aims of France. Lloyd-George an Opportunist. Lloyd-George of England, while of a distinctly different type, is none the less practical in his statesmanship. He has the record of a successful opportunist.

He is a politician and a manipulator of rare skill. He is adaptable to circumstances, but he will never forget that tho welfare of his own country Is his first and foremost concern, either in peace or Orlando, Premier of Italy, and Son-nlno, tho Italian Foreign Minister, are other practical statesmen with whom Mr. Wilson must Like the French and British leaders, they came into power as the result of strong national sentiment in their home country, which was so necessary to tho winning of the war. They are for making the enemy pay his heavy toll, and this consideration always comes ahead of Idealism. In meeting and talking with these men, President Wilson is undoubtedly discovering that they have clearly defined ideas as to what they want of the conquered ene.ny, and less clear opinions on the League of Nations and tho Freedom of the Seas.

On the latter subjects they look to him. They await the development of his program, and will apply to it the acid lest of practical European politics. He is the man who must bear the brunt of the fight for the ideals that have inspired the American people. Ultimate Agreement Certain. This is not to say that other men will lead a light against them: on the contrary, nothing is more certain at this time than that there will be ultimate agreement between the Allies and every evidence of outward harmony.

The Allies simply must agree; therefore, they will. No German propaganda, however subtle or secret, will serve to divide them on the great issues, or to becloud their thought. But. Clemenceau, Lloyd-George or Orlando cannot be expected to take the lead in tho fight for Wilson principles. Only tho President himself can do that, and In the absence of such leadership his principles will be sidetracked.

There Is reason to believe that the pactical sldo of Wilson Is already re-vcalin- Itself to his associates at the Peace Table. Those who know the President in Washington can testify that many are the times when he has disclosed himself as a hard-headed politician as well as a long-headed statesman. Wilson More Than an Idealist. He has done business witn practical men long before this; he Pogan dealing with the most severely practical kind whe-i ho was Governor of New Jersey. Ho sledge-hammered a few ideals through a piactUal Jersey Legislature and ho has put some through Congress, which Is also a practical bodv.

Since the war began he has been dealing with great Americans of eminently practical qualities and training He has learned a great, deal of mieryce, a town southeast of Posen and 62 miles northeast of Breslau. German troops there must, it Is stated, retreat in the face of a superior force of the Poles. It is also reported that the Polish Government at Warsaw has ordered the mobilization of all Poles. Allied Intervention Urged. London, January 2 Poland is in despair owing to tho invasion of Bolshevist troops and the apparent indifference of tho Western Powers to the plight of the country, according to a Warsaw dispatch to the Mail.

"Telegrams are sent, begging intervention by the Allies," the dispatch states, "but no reply comes. The Poles admit the immensity of the numerous problems absorbing the Allies, but complain that they do not receive the least sign of attention or a word of guidance." After dealing with the Bolshevist menace to Lemberg, Vilna and other places, tho correspondent says tho situation is mado worse by internal disorder In Poland. Factories in all the industrial towns have been destroyed by the Germans and thousands of Poles who were sent to Germany during the war are returning to find there is no employment for them. They are taking tho law in their own hands, It is said, and ure terrorizing their former employers, compelling them to give them money. Reds Holds Lodz.

"Not yet. I haven't studied it sufficiently," he said when asked for his opinion. It is known, however, that Walters leans strongly toward the Governor's proposal for a referendum on tho ratification of the dry law and fuels strongly opposed to much of the aocial reform legislation advocated by Governor Smith. "I he said, "that financial legislation, particularly revenue legislation, overshadows almost everything else this year. The finding of new sources of revenue and the application Justly and so that theywlll not be too great a burden or an unfair burden, are big problems.
