RUSSIANS FAIL TO REPLY TO PEACE CONGRESS INVITATION
Special to The Nome Nugget by The Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 30—Paris advices say the Peace Conference has re
volved neither a formal or informal reply from the Russian government re
garding its recent invitation to the various Russian governments to send re
presentatives to confer with the Allies at Prince's Islands.
The Peace Conference ofilciuls are at a loss to account for the
peculiar silence of most of the various Russian governments to whom the in
vitation was extended, especially in the case of the Bolshevik! government,
which was apparently desirous of securing representation shortly before the
peace conferences began. Nothing is known regarding the attitude of the
Ukraine, Crimea and other governments, although it is believed that their
failure to reply to the invitation is unlmated by distrust of tho Bolshevikl.
Only two of the Russian governments have signified their receipt of the
Peace Conference invitation, but neither one or the other have given a hint
regarding their attitude toward the Allied proposal.
Believed Russian Envoys Will Refuse to sit With Bolshevik's
PARIS, Jan. 30—The Peace Congress has been informed that two of
the Russian governments, Omsk and Caucusus, have decided to appoint
committees to confer with representatives of the Allies regarding the Russian
situation.
From various indications, however, it is believed that the envoys will
decline to sit in conference with representatives of the Bolshevik! government.

BELIEVED WILSON MUST MAKE SECOND TRIP TO EUROPE.
Special to The Nugget by The Associated Press.
PARIS. Jan. 29—It is believed in diplomatic circles that the principal
business of the Peace Congress cannot be concluded in a satisfactory manner
' without the presence of President Wilson and the view is held in many
quarters that tho President will find himself under the necessity of returning
to Europe some time during the early Spring.
Especially in dealing with the finer points of the settlement with the
Teutons, It is felt that tho presence of Wilson will be essential to the early
conclusipn of the negotiations.
The President expects to leave Brest for America on the Washington
some time between the tenth and fifteenth of February.

LOUISVILLE STREETS
Associated Press. Service.
LOUIS VILLK,—• Handling the
ptreet broom with almost as much
confidence as they ever flecked dust
In the home of a •'missus’', twenty
eight negro women have appeared as
official street cleaners in Louisville.
They receive |2 a day for nine and a
half hours and each cares for a terri
tory eight blocks square.
They will earn uniforms, some
thing akin to the "white wings"
worn by men in pre-war days, as
soon as they prove their capability.
On the streets, in the retail shopping
district, pedestrians good naturedly
urged them to “be careful”. All the
women worked diligently, crooning
southern melodies as they proceeded.
They came in many garbs, one
wearing a new suit of overalls, si
man’s hat and hob-nailed shoes.
Superintendent Charles Oestrich ofj
tho street cleaning department said
the experiment, if successful, will
solve an important labor shortage,
problem.

FRENCH PEACE COMMI88IONER DECLARES ENGLAND AND
FRANCE ACCEPTED WILSON MANDATORY NATIONS PRINCIPLES
Special to The Nome Nugget by Tho Associated Vrv.ia.
PARIS, Jan. 30.—Capt. Andro Tardiou. tho French Peace Commission
declared today that both England and France have accepted the principles
advocated by President Wilson concerning the appointment of mandatory
nations by the Peace Conference to undertake the administration of tho for
mer German colonies and other private territory captured by the Allies during
the war.
Japs Angry al Prospect That Troatic With England May be Modifiad by
Peace Congress.
LONDON. Jan. hit—The London Mail, dealing editorially with the re
ported acceptance of England of the Wilson theory of Internationalizing the
derman colonies, which involved t! tdmission of England’s secret treaties
with Japan regarding the Northern actlir islands, formerly owned by Ger
many, and also with the kingdom of llcdjaz regarding certain portions of
Syria, declares that if the report is true, the treaties must he arbitrarily modi
fied by the Peace Congress.
The Mail says England cannot voluntarily consent to revoke tier pledge,
made in good faith and in accordance with long established precedents of
war. If the treaties are to be modified, the Mail declares, it must be necotn
plished by all parties concerned agreeing thereto.
Whether or not Japan would consent to relenquish her claim* on th*
former German islands is a moot question in diplomatic circles Information
has turned up which suggests that the rapanese delegates to the Peace Con
gress have become decidcly angry at the proposal to place the German colonial
holdings under control of an international commission. The Japanese repre
sentatives are also said to have declared their unalterable determination to
claim the inlands us promised.
The Australians believe that President Wilson’s firm stand in the mv
ter is due to a fear that Japanese occupation of (he islands, some of which lire
in close proximity to American insular possessions, may seriously impair hi.
own prestiage with the American people.
In the view of the Australian delegates. Wilson fears that he will
meet a decidely hostile c ongress in March in the event that he agrees to tin
retention of the islands by Japan.
In many quarters it is held that resistance of the treaties by the Peace
Congress may provoke an Irreparable breach in the league of .Vatirns
plan.
