PARIS', Dec. 2 f. George. Clemrnoeau, former premier of France, In a two-column article Friday breaks a lance in favor of Japan armed intervention in Kurope. He writes: "When Lord Kitchener said -the war was likely to last ix months or three years he evidently overlooked the fact that it is taking place, chiefly on French territory and that it ii therefore France who most puffers from the wanton destruction of lives and property. It is unquestionably to the interest of all concerned that the allies should be able to overwhelm their foes and thus end the terrible conmet." Clemenccau does not see any reason why the allies should ."corn the help of Japan while the intervention of other powers at present neutral would be welcomed, but he adds that the matter would naturally require long negotiations and that the transport of troops is also no light quick task. He therefore urges the allies to Immediate action and suggests the calling of a diplomatic conference for preliminary negotiations in order to gain time and have Japan's troops on the Kuropean battlefields early in the sprint.

WASHINGTON, Dec. L'C. Ilannis Talor, formerly minister to Spain, counsellor to the state department and expert in International law. was asked to express his views as to the report that a tentative peace negotiati(4 'is now progressing between Germany and Russia and also Austria and Russia. He said the summary of interests and motives iven in the report is full of deep significance. .Mr. Taylor said: "No one who studies the diplomacy of Europe can doubt that Ilussia holds the key to the situation, that the success or failure of the allies is largely in her hands. The two greatest factors in the problem are the millions of soldiers that Kissia can hurl against the eastern frontiers of Germany and Austria and the sea power of Great Pritain in the west which, despite a few unimportant reverses', commands and supervises today the ocean tratlie of the world. "Ever since Great Uritain and France bottled Russia up by the treaty of 1S56, which closed the Crimean war, undertaken by the two powers first named to preserve the balance of power in eastern Europe and incidentally to vest in the European concert the protection of Christian people's subject to Turkey's power to that time, by Russia alone, the Slavic colossus has been waiting for an opportunity to carry out his plans for the dismemberment of Turkey and the capture of Constantinople. Great Humiliations "The two reat humiliations to which Russia was subjected in 1SG6 consisted of the forced surrender of her protectorate over the eastern Christians and of the abrogation of her right to keep war vessels in the Plaek sea and to maintain naval arsenals on its Coasts. "When the tirst opportunity came in isTO Russia gave notice that it was impossible for her to be lonKer bound either by the objectionable articles of the treaty of 185C or by the convention of the straits, really a part of it. In the conference helu'at Eondon in Jan., 1S71, Russia gained all that sho then demanded. Articles XI. XII and XIV of the treaty of Paris were annulled and in that way Russia regained her full sovereignty over the Rlack sea and its coasts subject to the right of the sultan to Invite into the straits at any moment such powers as mav be willing to Join with

him in order to check any naval agi gresso n Russia may make. ; " in 1S70 Russia thus gained l less -an half a loaf. The question " now is will her position at the present i enable herjo gain the other half? , Germany is the virtual governor of

Turkey, occupies a diplomatic position of the tirst importance and that advantage has been somewhat in-

j creased by Great Britain's final and j inevitable act in completing her soverelgnty over Egypt. 1 "In view of these conditions it is ; hard to doubt that a desperate diploj matie struggle is now going on behind 'the curtain between Germany and i Great Uritain for the tinal possession ! of the influence of Russia. Her states-

nun who are not as a rule sentimental cannot for a moment forget that it is their .duty to open up warm water ports as soon as possible for more than lf.O.oOO.OOO persons who have been unjustly excluded from them. "In my humble opinion the solution of that question is the one that will stand in the foreground when the time for a settlement comes. "Russia's tinal allegiance will belong to the power or powers that can do most to realize the one dream upon which her future largely depends. Until that question is settled there can hardly he a ro-estnblish-ir.cnt of the peace of Kurope. no mutter what Ocrm iny might induce Turkey to concede to Russia in the Plaek sea and in the straits. If the sea power of Great Rritain. hacked up by that of Italy in the Meiliterranean ns it surely v uM ho, was hcctile. anj concession that Germany and Turkey

Ten Thousand. Packages Yet To be Delivered by Carriers

Letters and Postcards Flood Local Office But Will Be Delivered in Few Days All Outgoing Mail Disposed Of.

If you haven't re eivol the package that you expected from auntie, don't lie'in'to wish you hadn't sent her that prrsfnt. ;us in all probabilities your present from her is waiting at the j.ost ottiee for delivery. After all of the l.Muteil mail trains had arrived in the eity last niht. the lloor ?iace at the post otriee was covered with close t le.eoo iafkai;es. while t very eubby-hole vas crammed with letters and pi-stcards. While the inlluv of mail was bit-r this year than ovt r for it is reaching the homes niuch quicker than usual. The regular force, aided by a. number of subs, is wcrkini: overtime to clean up the accumulation, and it

is hoped that every parcel, letter and postcard will be delivered in the next three days. An idea of the enormity of the mall that has been sent into the city can be gained from tho fact that one carrier alone has, besides his share of the 10,000 packages and a larse number of letters, over 4,000 postcards to deliver to his customers. The souvenir postcards are making life miserable for clerks and carriers just at present. After one of the clerks had worked all day sorting cards bearing incomplete addresses, there still remained at midnight over :.00o which could not be distributed anions the carriers on account of the lack of a street address. Many of these will be delivered when the rush

is over and there is time to look the names in the directory.
