Naming of American Dele
cation Virtually Com
pletes the Plans
PRES. WILSON AS HEAD
MAY NOT STAY TO END
Lansing, House, White and
Bliss Complete the
Delegation

Washington, D. c., Nov. 3O-Prepara-
tions for the participation of the United
States in the peace conference virtually
were completed to-day with the naming
of the nations representatives. Ameri-
cas- position on the great questions to
be settled at the congress will be set
forth by the following:
President Wilson, Robert lansing,
secretary of state; Henry White, for
mer ambassador TO France and italy:
+. NJ. House, special representative of
the United States government to the
European governments; General Tasker
II. Bliss, representative of the American
army at the supreme war council at
Versailles.
Names of the American representa-
tives were announced last night at the
White House.
Information of an official nature as to
the status of each Of the American repre-
sentatiyes still was lacking early TO-
day, However, it was generally be-
lieyed that the president will attend the
conference as the president of the United
States and that Secretary Lansing, Mr..
White and Colonel House and probably
General Bliss will be the accredited del
egates.
The inclusion Of President Wilson
among the representatives was not tax
en- in official quarters to-day to mean
that the president would remain for
the full conference. It was suggested
that the president and also the premiers
of Great Britain, France and Italy would
remain until after the broad outlines of
the peace treaty were decided upon and
then would leave to the accredited dele
gates the working out of the details
With the American representatives de-
eided upon, it was expected that the
president would quickly complete his
plans for the trip 1t was considered
certain that he and the other American
representatives will leave on the day
following his address to Congress, which
probably viii be delivered either Monday
or Tuesday.
