Victory for
Wilson Seen
AT Conference
General Acceptance of His
Peace Programme by the
Allies Is Predicted
Nclc York Tribune
Special Cable ,Serricc

(co.yrisht. 1918. New York Tribune Inc)
PARIS, Dec. 27-The belief persists
in the lobbies Of the Hotel de Crilon,
where the American mission is awaiting
the arrival of the other peace delegates.
that President Wilson will be victorious
at the peace conference. The President
is expected to return TO America carry
ing tangible proof of the general ac-
ceptance of the principle of league
Of nations as we'll as other of his ideas.
This view appears to be further CON
trmcd by the Presidents statement to
the American army units in the Vosges
with whom he spent Christmas Day. In
addressing the men he said: 81 do
not find in the hearts of the great
leaders with whom it is my privilege
now to cooperate any difference of
principle or fundamental purpose"
1t may be inferred from these words
that the Allied leaders, ministers and
ambassadors whom the President has
the subject of his peace programme.
Questioned on the subject this morn
ing by the Tribune correspondent
Henry White, one Of the American
peace enipotentiaries, was unable to
say ON what particular conversations
with Allied leaders the President based
his statement. Mr.. White said:
Il have not seen the President since
the speech and cannot say what he had
in mind. AS for tSt people whom Mr..
Wilson has seen since his arrival here,
this IS known to everybody"
differences of Opinion Expected
The French papers fail to take up the
Presidents pr9Rouncement as marking
any new step coward a settlement OF
the peace question. Many believe too
much emphasis should not be rfaced on
such general statements. They hold
that although Mr.. Wilson will find no
difference in principle "in the hearts,
Of the leaders with whom he is cooper
ating, this Will nov prevent great d.
yergences of opinion when the time
OF application of these principles
comes.
One of the reasons given by Mr.. VII
sons supporters for the easing" of the
situation since the Presidents arrival
IN the belief that the personal oppo-
sition developing in the Chamber of
Deputies to Premier Cleucnccau, who
was formerly not enthusiastic about the
league of nations, may help turn the
tide in favor of this project.
Serious Conferences in January
1t Is now expected that no serious
peace conferences Will be held before
January 16 or Is. Mr.. White stated to-
day that no official news as vet has
been received of the composition of the
japanese peace delegation. He believed
no limit would be put to the number of
