PARIS CONFERENCE.
DIVIDED OPINIONS AS TO DIVISION OF GERMAN COLONIES.
LONDON, Jan. 28. - The Daily Chronicle's Paris correspondent reports that at yester day's colonial discussion, President Wilson advocated the internation- alisation of the German colonies. He believes that the British Imperial Cabinet meets to-night to consider the réply. He understands the British attitude is liberal, and that throughout the discussion, the prine: ciple of supervision by the future council of the League of Nations will not be lost sight of,
The Daily Mail" adds that Mr. Hughes, General Botha, and two Chinese delegates were invited to join. the discussion by the Great Powers regarding this proposal as it touches colonies in which they are interested, The British do not object to Mr. Wilson's plan of internationalleerion & as regards German East Air Togoland, or the Cameroons, though the French and Portuguese do not acquiesce.
American opinion in London is that if President Wilson returns to the United States after agreeing to the cession of the Carolines and Marshall islands to Japan, he will lose all his votes in the middle and far west..
.
The whole voice of the British Empire at the Conference supports the Australian, New Zealand, and South African claims, and also agrees to the Japanese retention of the Carolines, and, Marshall islands and to the equatorial delimitation of its holdings.
The Great Powers propose to settle the matter of the German colonies without reference to the Commissions or to the plenary Con ference.

SYKORA-SKLAREVSKI CONCERT.
MAGNIFICENT RECEPTION,
At last night's concert at the Thea tre Royal given by M. Sklarevski and M. Sykora, H. E. the Oficer Administering the Government, Hon. Mr. Cladi Severn, CM.G.was present with a party which included Major and Mrs, Wakeman, Hon. Mr. E. H Sharp KC and Mr. C.A.D. Melbourne: The theatre was full. So many reports as to the artists' ability had prodded them that the audience expected much. They were cot dis- appointed. As the evening went on the audience passed from interest,to enthusiasm. Last night's music was, a combination of technical mastery and perfect feeling: it was played' with consummate skill, and it would be difficult to imagine. anything much finer. The playing of Beet hoven St.. Sonata, Op. 69, for piano and cello (Allegro ma non tanto Scherzo and Adagio cartabile-Al- legro vivace) by M. Sklarevski and M. Sykora which opened the programme was marked by both suppleness and artistic elegance of style. Their interpretation of the work evinced great refinement, repose and poetic feeling and through it all there was genuine emotional fervour. The whole programme, indeed, provided music of a quality rare to concert platforms M. Sykora shewed as the true artist in the following group of pieces Oswald :— Andante Affectuoso, Lotti-Aria, Boccherini:-Menuet, Piatti :-Air Easiyrs. The distinctive charm of his playing lies in the dulcet fragrance of his tone, commanding and insinu ating. His affect on the audience. was instantaneous and" he was, as, was his due, greeted with hearty and prolonged applause.
The two groups of piano pieces played by M. Skiarevski were enjoyable, being piquant, full of the unexpected and shewed him to be a stylist of the piano. He demonstrated last night that he is a piano virtuoso of the first rank His playing has delicacy. charm and a wide color gamut. The playing of both artists was so good that it is impossible to com-
