Eighty or ninety thousand claims,
principally from relatives of soldiers
who were killed or who died in the
war, are expected to be filed in the
next few months.
All South American countries have
been asked by the United States to
join in the suggestion to Chile and
Peru that the interests of pan-Amer-
lean unity demand an amicable settle
ment of their controversy over the
provinces of Tacna and africa. Acting
Secretary Polk of the state depart
ment announced this, explaining that
it had been enormously reported that
Argentine alone had been approached
on the subject. -

Congress was asked by Secretary
McAdoo in a letter made public here
to authorize the continuation of loans
to the allies for one. year after the
termination of the war to finance the
purchase of foodstuffs and reconstruc-
ton material in this country.
No additional appropriation for loans
to the allies is sought by the treasury
department, but it is suggested that
the proposed peace-time provisions ap-
ply to the $1,5OO,OOO of the $1O,OOO,-
100000 appropriated for allied loans,
which Secretary McAdoo estimates
will remain unexpended when peace
is declared. Under existing law the
United States may lend to the allies
only for war purposes and during the
war.
President Wilson probably will not
sit at the peace table, but will bo
represented there by delegates while
remaining in close contact with the
heads of other nations and prepared
to decide questions referred to him.
Premier Clemenceau of France, it
is believed, will be president of the
peace conference. This is considered
fitting because the conference will be
held in France.
