complex problems awaiting the con
ference. .,.. .-,as. S
Absorbed in the celebration Of the
German surrender, the officials were
unwilling to even discuss for publ1'
cation the next steps to be taken to
secure the fruits of victory and make
future, wars, at least on so vast Q
scale, impossible. But in general
way what is to be expected already
is known.
The various utterances Of President
Wilson and the premiers and public
men of the Allied countries all have
been carefully studied by those who
must plan the next step, and at ono
time or another the spokesman have
touched upon nearly every idea tha&.
might be properly included in the
treaties.
This is particularly true Of Presir
dent Wilson's declaration, which req.
resent not only the ideas Of the Amen
lean government, but from their n
most unqualified acceptance by tho
Allied powers, may be regarded -
already constituting the frame work
which can be clothed with the details
necessary to round out complete
fabric of peace conventions.
Much Planning in Advance.
This frame work in all probability.
will be put into final shape by dis.
cussions among the chiefs Of the VIC.

sentatives of the vanquished arp
