TALK OF PEACE
HOLDS SWAY
Speculation Rife As to De-
tails of Peace Con-
terence.

The who. when and where of the
peace conference was last night the
subject of much speculation in Off
Cial quarters here.
It is generally believed that Secre-
tary. of State Lansing will head the
American delegation, which with at
taches, secretaries, clerks, stenogra-
pliers, typists and the like is eX-
pected to make up a party of more
than 100 persons There is something
more than speculation attached to
mention of Mr.. Lansing's name.
There have been two other instances
in American history where the Secre-
tary of State headed the peace dele
CATION. and precedent is thus fur
nlshed.
Col. E. NJ. House. the Presidents
personal adviser, and the representa-
tive of this government in the mo-
mentous conference of the supreme
war council at Versailles, Is also mem
TONED as a probable peace envoy. He
has established contact with the lead
ing men of the allied world, is thor
oughly conversant with the Presidents
views on the subject of peace, and
has gained much experience in his
various missions for the Chief Execu-
tive. There has been some opposi-
ton to, the Colonel's activities in
this new role, but in administration
quarters it is believed that this OPP
position is chiefly political One reao-
ing of the armistice terms, 1t was sug-
gested. will suffice to show whether
or not Col. House ably represented
this country at the Versailles con-
ferences.
Another prospective envoy is Sena-
to- Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock. chairman
of the senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, and therefore the outstanding
figure in Congress as far as peace
negotiations are concerned. In order
to give our delegation a non-partisan
aspect, the, President, it has been
said, may select former President
Taft. who has rendered yeoman serv-
ice to his country during the war by
serving as head of the War Labor
Board, or former Justice Charles
Evans Hughes. who has come for
ward during the war and given his
entire time to the President He in
vestigated the aircraft situation and
devoted five months of ceaseless la
Dor to the task.

Justice Brandies, of the Supreme
Court. has also been mentioned as a
prospective envoy. He Is known to

DIP In CHRlSTIANA

A feat in engineering marked the
launching yesterday afternoon Of the
4,3OO-ton frelghter Moline, at the plant
OF the Pusey and Jones Shipbuilding
Company. The Moline, which Is 3i5
feet long, was launched in the Christi
ana River, which at that point is only
3i5 feet wide. allowing the ship a lee
way Of only 30 feet to travel without
ramming the opposite shore. This
danger was eliminated, however, by the
installation OF a checking device" re-
Gently constructed for the occasion by
the engineers under Nisse Karfve, as
sstant general manager OF the plant.
This device consisted OF huge drag
buckets. each weighing many tons, at
tached to the vessel by chains, keeping
her from gaining momentum as she
glided down the ways.
Werner Hosklns Baker, i7-year-old
daughter OF Charles II. Baker, superin-
tendent Of hulls. sponsored the vessel.
Her sister, Mary Caroline Baker. and
Beatrice Naylor, acted as maids OF
honor.
The Moline, which is OF 6,3O0 tons dis
placement, capable OF developing a
speed Of 30 i-2 knots an hour, was con-
structed for the Emergency Fleet Cor
pOrati0n and will soon take her place
with Americas merchant marine. Plant
officials state the ship will be com
pleted by the first OF year.
