EXTRA SESSION
OF LEGISL AZURE
Question Not Decided Until Next
Week When Governor Hard
ing VIII be Home From
Ohio.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
DES MONIES, Iowa, Dec. 31.-The
question Of special session of the
Ithirty-seventh Iowa general assembly
still hung in the balance today, with
the announcement by Governor Hard
ing that he will not make his decision
until he returns from a trip to Indiana
and Ohio. Harding departs Wednes-
day and expects to be gone until Mon
day at least.
1t was learned that thus far assur-
ances were lacking that the assembly
men would confine their business to
war measures as requested by the ex-
ecutive. Many of the senators and
Representatives have written the gov
ernor suggesting various bills they will
try to introduce at the special session.
The governor secuted the idea that
the assemblymen would ''try to put
Something over" by running wild with
all sorts of bills. He said the consti-
tuition gave him power to call session
whenever the occasion demanded ana
shall state 1.-The purpose for which it
was called" This Harding indicated
meant the legislators would have to
confine their business to the war meas
ures, though it die not exactly confine
them to legislate only for the purpose
called.

after the Russians have relinquished
their occupied lands, and after the
peoples in the German-occupied states
have announced their choice of future
government. Reference is made in
the German proposals to the fact that
several OF the states partially occupied
by Germany have announced independ-
ence OF Russia.
The Germans thus apparently de-
cided in view of the Bolshevih lack of
complete authority over Russia, to
hold fast to occupied Russian lands
until the people thereof acquiesce in
the Bolsheviki plans. Poland. Lith-

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 31.-Several

mended to their respective govern

ference here which would proclaim

ming should participate in the Brest-
Litovsk peace conference, according
to state department dispatch from
Copenhagen December "a, made pub
lie today. This statement, the first
recent move even remotely resem-
bling stronger democratic represent
tation in German government, was
regarded here, however, as insincere.
The kaiser probably had his hand
in very strongly" said a high Off
cial. counteracting the impression
that this might be real moyem ent
toward characterization.
The liberal press regarded the
kaiser's move joyfully. There was
general agreement that this headed
in the right direction by nominally
at least giving the reichstag a chance
10 express the peoples will. Some
OF the press hold it was high time
that such step was taken, the mes
sage said.
On the other hand the panGerman
German aims.
Government officials placed little
stock in the kaiser's sincerity. They
felt that he is still the guiding power
al the peace conference and that he
is not yet ready TO relinquish to the
people his power to control their
destiny.
This information, taken in connec-
ton with the London United Press
dispatch that the allies will seriously
answer the German peace overtures,
caused q real stir here.
Officials have said privately for
some time that it would be impes-
sible for the allies to pass up with
little or no consideration any genu-
inc peace offer of Germany.
a serious answer, however, does
not necessarily mean an answer fav-
orable to Germany, it was stated
here
Declarations of officials in Eng
land, France and the United States
in the past few days have been SO
emphatically opposed to acceptance
of the German proposals, that there
is scant chance of out-and-out ac-
ceptance It is possible, however,
that a more specific statement of
peace terms than thus far made will
be the outcome of present peace
jockeying.
Allies VIII Reply.
lBy EQ IL. heen, Un1ted PreSS Sta1I
Correspondent
LONDON, Dec. 31.-The allies in
tend seriously to reply to the Teu-
tonic peace terms as announced from,
Brest-Litovsk, according to best in
formation obtained today by the Unit
ed Press.
1t is understood that Premier Lloyd
George will shortly go to France to
confer with Premier Clemenceau, ap.
parently on this same matter.
Premier Lloyd Georges latest word
on the subject of war aims was in
his letter of last week to the labor
lite conference, in which he laid en-
phasis in fact that there would be
no re-statement of Britain's terms
except after full consultation with
all the allies.
| It was pointed out today that this
trip to Paris might well be for the
specific purpose of an interchange of
views and later issuance either of d
joint repledging of allied aims, or
possibly a reply statement issued
directly to Russia, pointing out the
weaknesses in the German "conces-
sions."
