inspecting the organization now rapidly
taking shape Mr.. Wilson drove in an
Army motor car to the Place de la Con-
corde, where all the American activ-
tiles are centered. Before the Presidents
arrival the American delegates confer
red for two hours regarding general
plans. mapping out work and dividing it
into sections.
No difficulty has vet been reached as
to the number of delegates which will
represent each country, the arrival OF
the British delegates being awaited. The
claims of the British colonies to par
ticipation in the congress are recelv-
ing serious consideration. At the same
time it is feared that unless some limi-
tation is placed on the number of del
egates the conference will become too
large 10 accomplish results.
Five British Delegates.
1t is understood that the British gov
eminent proposes to have five delegates
at the peace table and that the United

the conference. The original plans con-
templated the conclusion of the confer
ence in April or May. Although there
have been many delays in the prelimi-
mary work of organization. some of the
GelegateA the Americans included, are
optimistic that the labors of the con-
terence can be finished by that time.
President Makes Denial.
President Wilson this afternoon
gave out the following statement:
1.-THE Paris edition of the Chica go
Tribune this morning in dispatch
Washington declared that before
leaving for France 1 gave assurance
that l approved of a plan formulated
by the League to Enforce Peace. This
statement is entirely false.
II am, as every one knows. not only
in favor of a league of nations. but
believe the formation of such a league
absolutely indispensab BILE to the main
tenance of peace. But the particular
plan of the League to Enforce Peace
I have never directly or indirectly in
dorsed."
1t was said today that former Presi
dent Taft personally submitted the
to President Wilson. who considered
it as portion of the great mass of
material that was being assembled on
the general subject.
On the question of representation in
the peace conference it is reported
that China will be accorded full rep
resentation. The opinion was eX-
pressed by some members of ,the
American mission today that this fact
will give China an opportunity to
press her claim for a return of kiao-
chau, or, at most. to permit Japan
only to continue the German lease of
the peninsula.
President Is Delighted"
President Wilson gave his personal
impressions today, at a meeting with
representatives of the American press,
of his experiences thus far in France.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 1S.-After four
days of gathering views of leaders in
France, President Wilson's closest ad-
visers say he has seen no reason to
change his belief that the foundation
of a league of nations is inseparable
from the actual peace treaty itself.
These advisers say that the President,
in explaining his definition of the
freedom of the seas" will reassure
Premier Lloyd George that he has no
intention of demanding reduction of
the British navy to a point involving
the unsafety of the empire, but will
emphasize his feeling that the plan of
a league will strengthen the empire
King Victor Emmanuel. who is ex-
pccted to arrive tomorrow. already has
been fully advised of the Presidents
plans through conferences. with Count
di Cellere, Italian amba ssador to the
United States. but the President Will
take the opportunity to make personal
explanations to the king and also to
make clear his friendlineSS toward
Italy.
The hope is expressed by those sur
rounding the President that the eX-
changes of views will clear away any
partial MISUNDERSTANDING which may
exist in regard to Mr.. Wilson's atti-
tudc and prepare the way for the as
semblage of the conference with com
plexities removed, SO that it will be
ready to deal with principles and any
outstanding differences of opinion that
remain.
Impresses His Views.
IN all his conferences the President
has taken opportunity to impress his
view, it is aid by those who are au-
nation is entitled to assume the role
of master or dictate the manner or
the conditions of the representations
of others.
There is some indication that con-
siderable Roadway is being made in
this direction and that the members
of the American mission are now see
ing their way clearly. All express
the conviction that delegates will
enter the conference in a spirit of
accommodation.
Some Inducements are interpreted
as showing indications of regret be-
cause the acceptance of President
Wilson'S points in general way pre-
vented some nations from achieving
their own objects, which might have
been gained if Germany's collapse had
been made even more complete. In
reply il has been made plain to those
with whom the President conferred
that the United States government
does not consider the war victory
of arms alone, and that victory would
be incomplete without an organize
ton of nations to guarantee world
peace.

President travels incognito. but ow-
ing to the fact that his pictures are
posted throughout the city the popu-
lace has no trouble in Identifying him.
All Paris was talking today of the
call paid President Wilson by Mar
shall Foch yesterday. The great
strategist was expected to appear in
full-dreSs uniform and wearing his
decorations. On the contrary he APP
peared in a much-worn blue uniform,
adorned by none OF his decorations
and wearing an old forage cap.
Marshal Foch told the President
that his visit to France paid that
country the greatest honor possible.
The President replied that the visit
of Marshal Foch to America would be
a greater honor.
One of the matters discussed by
President Wilson in his interview
with Marshal Foch was the Prest-
dents proposed visit to the devastated
regions and battlefields. The Presi-
dent is said to be viewing the trip
with much expectancy.
Paris Still Celebrating. =
PARIS, Tuesday, December IL
Although President Wilson has been
in Paris four days now, the city re-
fuses to cease celebrating. The city
seems almost as greatly excited as it
was on the first and second days OF
the Presidents visit. The crowd
waiting outside the Murat mansion
where the President is residing, has
not thinned cut with the passage of
the days, and when the President APP
pears on the streets in his motor car

just as spontaneous as ever.
