Htlon Involved in the making of peace.

postpone the inter-allied gathering un--r

The President has arranged no itin

This Intended prolongation of the

eSpefct that the announcements on tho
progress of the 'conferences will bo of
a very limited nature until after tho
new year, tho Intervening time being
taken up by exchanges, which nro nec
essarily confidential.
After four days of gathering vlowa
of leaders In France, President Wil

no reason to change his belief that tho

of a league will strengthen tho em

rounding the President that tho ex
changes of views will clear away any

plexltles removed, so that It will bo
ready to deal with principles and any
outstanding differences of opinion that
remain.

Some undercurrents are Interpreted
as showing Indications of regret be
cause; the acceptanco of President Wil
ton's points in a general way pre
vented somo nations from achieving
their own objects, which might have
been gained If Germany's collapse had
been made even more complete. In
reply, It has been made plain to those
with whom tho President conferred
that the I'nlted States CJovernment
does not consider tho war a lctory
of arms alone, and that victory would
bo incomplete without an organization
of nations to guarantee world peace.
