Treves is on the right bank of the

oldest town in Germany, and is rich in

Unlikely to Question Him

While there has been some talk of
members of the Senate or House rising
IN their places and interrogating the
President about these and other peace
questions if he is not specific enough
to please them, it is not believed to-
night that any one Will actually make
this move. Parliamentary authorities
in both houses say that such
procedure would be absolutely out of
order, as the President is not mem
ber of either house. but merely comes
into the House chamber as d guest for
the purpose of delivering his message.
There are many members in both
houses, however. who wish heartily
chat the English custom Of being per-
mitted to question the Admins
tration, through its ministers, OBJ
tanned, so that they could force ex-
plantations from the President in
public that they have not been able
to obtain in any other manner
This is especially true of those Sena-
tors and Representatives who do not
believe that the President is planning
to tell Congress any details of his
peace plans at all, but Will keep the
country in suspense until he has act
ually presented his views to the peace

Congress Anxious for Facts

Some of the Presidents friends, who
think he will pursue the policy of
silence as to peace aims tomorrow,
point out that it might not be diplo-
matte to set forth his views in this
country in advance of telling them to
the peace conference at Versailles
This view finds little favor in most
Congressional circles, however, where

ing kept silent so long that it will be
ALMOST impossible, even if he speaks
clearly on this subject tomorrow. to
get the reaction of the country before
he starts across the ocean

President viii be able to read a lot
of opinions about his peace plans, or
of his failure to talk about them,
whichever may be the case As soon
as the joint session of Congress con

is expected to plunge into a fiery dis
cussion of peace plans, the League OF
Nations, the failure to appoint any rep
resentatives of the Senate on the peace
commission and half 8 dozen other
questions about which soreness exists.
