DEFINITE PLANS
SHAPING SLOWLY
PRESIDENT SATISFIED THAT THE
FRENCH AND BRITISH ARE
IN ACCORD WITH HIM.
MAKING PEACE IS FIRST TASK
Neutral Nations Will Not Come Into
General Discussions Now Going on
Among Peace Delegates.

Paris.-Definite plans fof the peace
conference are not shaping as rapidly
as some of the American commission
ers expected. Meanwhile President
Wilson is taking advantage of oppor-
tunity to assess public opinion in
France and incidentally in Great Brit
ain. His advisers say that he is en-
tirely satisfied that these peoples are
largely in accord with the principles
he has announced as necessary to dur
able peace.
The members of the American mis-
sion are employing their time before
countries actually assemble. in a Sc.
ries of informal conferences, which
eventually will include a representa-
tive of each of the entente belliger-
ents. Neutral states will not come
into these discussions.
The feeling among all the entente
conferees is that the making OF
peace should be their first task, so
that they may determine upon the
broad outlines Of a league of nations,
which, later, representatives of neu-
trail countries will assist in COM
plotting.
While the American commissions
ers are holding these informal ex-
changes, which are designated to clear
up Emergencies of opinion, the presi-
dent is constantly giving the closest
attention to immediate problems. He
is receiving repc<ts from the United
States, from Amercain diplomatic
agencies throughout the world and
from the group of Investigators
brought here for the purpose of study
ing the many special problems which
will arrive. These investigators are
continuing their studies with the adj
vantage now Of being on the ground.

PROTECTING BANK oePoslToRs.

One of the best measures that has
been introduced to law makers for
some time is a bill now in Congress

less and a similar levy on all other
deposits after deducting from each
deposit the amount which they ex.
coed $4,000.

ton of Comptroller Williams, are
based on recommendations made in
his annual report. Among other bills

tors without the consent OF major.

vide penalties; authorize the comp
troller OF currency to proceed against
