A TEST OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
LONDON, 29th January. General Maurice, waiting to the "Daily News from Paris, says that tho first real test of the League of Notions is now proceeding in the settlement of the German colonies. He has not found coiiflrma. tion for the report that the five greftl Powers intend to finally settle the ques-
turn. It may be presumed that they will submit recommendations to the plenary Conference. It may be taken that President Wilson, Mr. Lloyd George, and M. Clemenceau will be certain earnestly and sincerely to attempt to apply the principles of the League of Nations to the settlement of the colonies, and also to the conquered Adriatic territory. President Wilson definitely proposed that these possessions should be entrusted to the nearest Power, who will administer them on behalf of the League. General Maurice understands that Britain is prepai-ed to accept the proposal where she is able to do so with full authority, but is unwilling to interfere with the views and rights of the Dominions.
