PARIS, Dec. 1S.-President Wilson
and Marshal F'och talked for half ar
hour last night
The subjects under discussion were
mainly in reference to the armisuce
between the allies and Germany. Mr..
Wilson was most favorably impressed
as the result of this first extended
conversation he has had with the mar
shal, according TO Marcel Hutin of the
Echo de Paris.
NJ Hutin states that II is most prob
able that the treaty of peace will be
signed at Versailles some time about
the beginning Of June and that Mar
shal Foch will lead the allied army
under the arch OF triumph in Paris
within sixteen days after peace is de-
clared.
Much interest attaches to the con-
ferences which President Wilson Will
have with King Victor Emanuel who
is expected to arrive here tomorrow
1t has been said by the presidents as
sociates that he will go further into
the subject of Italy's position at the
peace conference In his conv rsation
with the kin~. having already had
several informal talks during the voy-
age from America to France with
Count Macci di Cellere, italian ambas-
sador and high commissioner to the
United States, as well as another dis
cussion of these questions yesterday.
It is known the president feels the
warmest sympathy for the purposes
which led Italy to enter the war. New
ertheless, the tentative lines laid out
in consequence of an investigation by
Colonel Edward M. House respecting
the probable extent of territory which
should go to Italy on the principal OF
racial or linguistic determination, do
mot fully accord with the ideas of the
Italian government, which feels that II
should go further than is indicated by
this outline. This is one of the sub
jects which Mr.. Wilson discussed with
Count di Cellere, whom he is believed
to have told the extent to which the
American representatives were willing
| to go In the forthcoming informal con-
| ferences with the premiers of the en-
| tente government In support of Itaiy's
claim arising out of the war.
Another raw, wet day kept President
| Wilson indoors today except for ride
! in closed motor car. The only coGi-
| ference on his program was one wifn
| Gabriel Hanotaux, formerly French
| foreign minister.
