THE PEACE
The President to Send Out Invitations
to the Powers in a Few Days.

Washington. October 21.-In the
course of the next two days the presi-
Dent will dispatch formal invitations to
the powers to name delegates to the
new peace conference to be held at the
Hague The powers are invited to sug-
gest a date or dates for the meeting
Of the conference. Secretary Hay SUBJ
mitted a draft of the invitation to the
cabinet today. The date Of the meet
ing vas left open because it stated that
any one of the powers has as much
right to suggest a date as the United
States. Consequently there must be
considerable correspondence on this
subject before an agreement is reached.
1t is not expected that the conference
will meet during the continuance Of the
present war unless this should contin-
ue indefinitely. 1t cannot be learned
that any consideration has yet been
given to the personnel of h delegation
which will represent the United States
at the congress.
