OFFICIALS here regard the Paris

was laid, but in which America did
not participate. as one of the allied
blunders. serving TO consolidate
the German people behind the kai-
ser. The president repudiated this
conference in effect, and did so aft

impression here that they now ap-
preciate their mistake and are no
longer determined to put il into

The president did not discuss
peace terms specifically. because
he is interested primarily in rid
