 ORGANIZATION
 NOW IS FORMED
Initial Meeting Held for Pur- pose of Harnonizing View points Into Joint Declare ton of Principles

PARIS. Dec. A CBy the Associated Pressl l.-,An international organiza- tion has been formed to secure mi formity of principles respecting g league of nations, for presentation % the peace conference.
 This action was the result of Pre- mier Clemenceau's recent suggestion to Leon Bouergeois and Karon d' Es- tournelles de Constant that the ad- vocates of a league of nations should reconcile their differences and pre- sent a common front before the peace conference.
 An international bureau accordingly has been established with offices in the Boulevard St. Germain for the purpose of reaching an accord be- tween the British, French, American, Italian and all other national organi- cations supporting the league.
 It is expected that three separate English societies will be consolidated under the presidency of Sir Edward Grey.
 Three Italian societies, at Rome, Milan and Turin, will be similarly con- sOlidated.
 The initial meeting. held lest night, was for the purpose of arranging plans for the harmonizing of viewpoints into one joint declaration of principles. A telegram already has been forwarded to the American and British societies with the purpose of establishing a common agreement.
 M. Bourgeois said the discussion al the meetings largely were of detail. and that they would be enlarged until the influence of the sessions became worldwide as regards a joint declara- tion before the peace conference.
 It is understood the representatives of all nations have virtually agreeu upon the principles of compulsory ar bitration and the limitation of arma- ments and that the chief differences requiring reconciliation are the ecu homie penalties to be enforced against nations making war and whether the maintenance of peace shall be en- forced by military measures. These latter points are the main ones on which the international organizations are flow endeavoring to establish a common ground

Daniels Expresses Confidence in Pride of Americans in Their Peacefully Victorious Navy
CRv Review Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-Confi- dence that the American people will greet the officers and-men of the re- turning battleship squadron with pride and congratulations" and "as valiant victOrs" was expressed by Secretary Daniels tonight on the eve of his departure for New York to re- view the homecoming naval units. The American dreadnaughts, though denied the opportunity of winning a great sea victory, did more, said the secretary. for they co-Operated in re ceiving the surrender of the entire German fleet.
 Secretary Daniels and many govern ment and diplomatic officials will leave Washington tomorrow after noon for New York. The presidential yacht Mayflower from which the naval secretary and his party will review the returning battleships Thursday. is now en route to New York.
 Tn welcoming home the powerful American dreadnaughts which have been engaged overseas during the war" said Secretary Daniels. the American people will greet the off cers and men with pride and cOngratu- lations. These powerful ships, the equal of any in the world in co-opera- tion with the powerful British fleet, gave such predOminance of sea pow CT in the North sea that the German fleet dared not invite suicide by com ing out and offering battle. They did not try conclusions because they knew there never was a fleet in being that could have a chance of victory against the British and American fleets work ing together with the same signals and the same strategy as if they were of the naval power of a single nation. Their mission was as single as if they had represented only one instead of the two great English-speaking na- tions. Their united service typified and cemented the ties between our country and Great Britain. Their silent vigils protected commerce, se- cured safe passage of troops and sup plies, and effectually bottled up the German fleet, rendering it as impo- tentsfor harm as if it had never been constructed"
 Secretary Daniels announced to- night the names of those who will be his guests aboard the Mayflower at the review. Included in the number will be former Ambassadors Geradr, Morgenthau, Elkins. Vandyke and Penfield Mrs. George Dewey, widow of the late Admiral Dewey, will be the guest of Mrs. Daniels.

 Lou Tsing Tsiang, Chinese minister of foreign affairs, and former Chinese diplomatic representative in Russia and Holland, who is head of the peace party, was i'll when the steamer ar rived, but expected to be able to con- tinue his journey.
 Hawking l.. Yen, counsellor of the Chinese ministry of foreign affairs, said although the party is bound for the European peace table it has not yet been officially designated as China's delegation.
 MT. Hawking declared China has no set peace program.
 We are watching developments and probably will not formulate our policy until we reach France" he told the Associated Press. China has been with the allies strongly in the war and will be with them in the same manner at the peace table. China at times has been misrepresented by ene- mics, but it has been proven that this made in Germany propaganda was false and misleading"
 The party planned to leave tonight for New York.

PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
BRITISH GOVERNMENT HAS AR RANGED ALMOST EVERY DE- TAIL OF OFFICIAL VISIT, EVEN ENUMERATING DEC oRATIoNs TO BE WORN

PARIS PARIS, Dec. 24.-(By the Associated Press. )-President Wilson left Paris tonight for weeks trip, which will take him to American army headquarters at ChaumOnt and to England. He was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, Rear Admiral Grayson and a small party. The president is travelling eby military train ana will reach ChdumCnt Christmas morning.
 On Christmas the president will spend l2 hours in the Chaumont re- zion, where he will take Christmas dinner with the men al their ness and review 10000 American soldiers. Later he will inspect the billots m sev- cal of the villages, and. returning to Chaumont will be the guest of Gen eral Pershing and his staff.
 The president will leave American headquarters at o'clock Wednesday evening for Calais, and on Thursday morning will embark on warship for England. So far as is known here there will be no further changes in the presidents program in England unless the British government sug- gests them.
 Americans officials here are deeply interested in the reception which will be accorded the president by the Brit ish people, especially in the Man chester industrial district. The pres ident himself looks forward with high expectations 10 a review of the troops on his visit to England.
 With his return to Paris from Eng land on New Years, the president hopes the most necessary preliminary organization of the American com mission will be completed. The busi- ness of beginning to make peace may get under way if by then the other governments concerned have named their delegates. Official notification of the appointment of the various delegates, it is believed. will come within ten days, although it is real ized that the British delegates may not be chosen until the elections are entirely out of the way.
 The coming of German delegates is still in an indefinite stage, while the question of Russian representation has gone no further than some in- formal discussions between the Amer ican commissioners and prominent Russains here. Doubts are being eX- pressed by some diplomatists that the conference actually can begin work the first week of January as expected. Some of them are inclined to think that the first meeting might not be held until February.
 President Wilson's last official en- gagement was with the Belgian min ister of foreign affairs tonight.

GENERAL BLISS PAYS PERSHINC
 HIGH TRIBUTES
Full Text of Speech Made by Officer Designated to Con- fer Distinguished Service Cross Received

! WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-High tr:.- ute to the work of General Persn- ing and the officers and men wRo served under him, was paid by Cen eral Tasker H. Bliss. in conferring upon the American commander the distinguished service medal at the d. rection of President Wilson. The full address of General Bliss was received and made public by the war depart ment today The medal was conferred upon General Pershing at the head quarters of the American expedition- ary forces at Chaumont, France. No evmber 16.
 After detailing the work done oy General Pershing in creating anu training on French soil an American army of more than two million men. with the agencies for its transpOrra- tion and supply. General Bliss said:
 With Nur aid our ancient ally has regained her former boundaries. And you and your army have played glorious part in a world event tran scending, in its mOmentOus import ance, any other since Charles Mar5ei beat back the flood of MOslem -n- vasion on the plains Of Tours. You, like him, have done much in crush ing an evil and aborted civilization and in preserving a nObler one. And. in doing this you have won not only the admiration of your Euro pean associates in arms, but the ad- miration and love of your country men.
 And you have done it all with the thorough devotion of the American army. it's officers and men. and of ail who helped to make that army and U get it here.
 All that I have said brings me to this. It is not for me to speak Of history to the men who have made it. But it is for me and for all of us to speak of that loyal and affection ate devotion. from the men in the trenches to the men on the western docks of France; from the men in the shipbuilding yards and mines and log ging camps from the Atlantic to Pa cific: from the men, women and chii- lItn -n every AoNNoAs anu NcA hoACf ct home. whose devotion to the greus cause and whose personal devotion to ycu has stayed up your hands, that they faint not, from the rising to the going down Of the sun.
 But it is not of these alone thac speak. when l speak of the devotion that has carried you. and your army to such triumphant success. I think with sadness and pride of those who have paid the last full measure of their devotion; and of weeping Amer ican wives and mothers and mourn ing children. l have no doubt that many a gallant American soldier has, in his last breath, coupled with other names dear to him your name as the custodian and guardian of American honor and glory-honOr and glory so dear to him that for them he gave his life.
 Just as it is our president WHO hands to you this medal, so l seem to see from those thousands of glorious graves pale hands reaching out to you and your comrades the laurel wreath of victory which they did so much to win
 Ana l know that l speak for OUT Pre sident Wilson when I say that as to them the good God has given etern- al rest, so may He, through their he roic death. give us eternal peace
