Brazil Sends DELEGATES

PARIS, Nov. 26.-The appointment
of the Brazilian delegates, Milo Pc
canha, the foreign minister, and Ruy
Barbosa, ambassador to Argentina, is
leading to a discussion as to what ex-
tent the South American countries will
support a league of nations and the
effect of the league on the Monroe
Doctrine. 1t is the general understand
ing that the South American republics
have the same favorable attitude to-
ward a league as the allies.
Whether a league of nations, in
which Europe would be largely repre-
sented, would extend its authority tc
the western hemisphere, including
South, Central and North America, is
not clear, but the prevailing view is
that its authority would be universal.
1t is said this would not be a sub
stitution of the leagues authority fol
the Monroe Doctrine in South American
affairs, but rather an extension of the
Monroe Doctrine, whereby joint inter
national action would supplement ant
reinforce the Monroe Doctrine.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Presi-
dent Wilson will sail for Europe
next week, to attend the opening of
tho peace conference, and expects
to be back in Washington soon
after the middle of January.
Plans for the presidents trip are
going steadily ahead, but beyond
the original announcement that he
would leave Immediately after the
conVening of congress on December
2, no details have been made pub
lie. However, it was said today,
authoritativeIy, that the president
plans to be back on American soil
within six weeks after he leaves.
TO FOLLOW HOLIDAYS
There has been no indication
when the peace conference will as
sembIe, but the general belief here
is that it will convene Immediately
after the Christmas holidays. The
president goes in advance, to con-
fer with the entente statesmen, and
Il is expected the broad outline of
the treaty will be framed before
hand, with a view to its adoption
soon after the conference meets.
The president was understood to
have discussed his trip with MEM
bers of his official family at the
regular Tuesday cabinet meeting
today.
Censorship Reports Untrue
Reports of censorship of the news
of the peace conference we're met
today with the statement that not
only would there be no censorship,
but that the American newspaper
correspondents would be given all
facilities possible for transmitting
their dispatches.
Correspondents sent from this
country will make the trip on a
navy vessel, which will be placed
at their disposal. They will leave
next Monday, ahead of the presi
dent, because there is no ship avail
able which can make as fast time
as the steamer on which Mr.. Will
son and his party will sail.

No treaty has even been made in

CAUSED DEPRESSION

NAMUR, Monday, Nov. 25-(By the
Associated Press)-Nine days have
passed since the Germans left this
= historic town, and already Namur is
rapidly slipping back into the groove it
occupied before the war. The people
have some stories of Prussian despot-
ism to relate, as have the residents of
other occupied places, but on the whole
Namur seems to have Jared well, COM
pared with other towns near the fight
ing line.
The forts are as they were left after
the enemy's bombardment on the first
days of the conflict. The railway sta
tion and some neighbOring buildings
have suffered from allied bombing.
Otherwise the town is practically un-
scathed.
Restaurants today were serving ex-
cellent and varied meals at reasonable
prices, much lower than in Brussels
for example, where an ordinary dinner
costs from nine to ten dollars.
Namur like Brussels, spent a couple
days in the widest celebration, as soon
as the Germans left, the people dancing
and singing through the streets al
night, following the enemys departure
Gave Prisoners Fatal Work
The residents tell or a characteristic
German trick of working British pris-
oners in the only place which was a
military objective for British bombers
Prisoners were forced to labor in the
railway station. which was provided
with only sufficient dugouts for the
protection of German soldiers. AS a
rosult,a considerable number of British
were Killed by their own comrades.
In the last days of the Boche occu-
patton marked deDression xyas ca,,caf

paganda, which was dropped on the
town. The Germans became con-
vinced of the truth of the British state
ments of The allied victories, and tn,
German failures, especially the sub,
marine campaign. Soon, there was
change in the mems attitude toward
the high command and the continuance
of the war.

IDEALS AHEAD
Of BOUNDARIES
AMERICAN VIEW

PARIS, Nov. 26.-(By the Associated
Press. "A league of nations is likely
to figure before the peace conference
at an early stage of the proceedings,
instead of being relegated to the close,
after the territorial aspirations of the
various powers are settled
Two distinct viewpoints have de-
veloped on this subject. The American
view is that the coming congress will
not be like the Vienna congress, which
devoted itself principally to arranging
what each power should receive as u
result of the Napoleonic upheaval. Ac-
cordinG to the American view the pres
ent war was based on certain high
ideals. and was not a struggle for ter
ritorial gains.
Therefore, it is maintained ideals
should come before territorial aSpira-
tions of the congress. and these ideals,
having been first defined, should there
after be the main guide in national as
pirations.
One of the chief of these ideals, il
is pointed out, was to prevent future
warfare, and a league of nations has
! been generally and officially accepted
as the most practical organization fol
accomplishing that ideal. 1t is there
! fore held that this should be one of the
| first subjects considered and Should
set a standard of ideals for other sub
! jects following.
Americans Hold Ideals First
1t can be stated this American view
| of procedure has found warm support
ers in England and France, though
| there is also another viewpoint which
clings to the old procedure under the
| Vienna congress, whereby individual
aspirations for territory should have
/ first consideration.
Those urging that territorial ques-
tions should come first, say it is highly
desirable to sign a peace treaty en-
bodying the essential details at the
earliest possible moment, so as t
terminate the official war period. un
der which troops are held for the dura
tion of the war and railroads, tele
graphs and other public utilities ar,
similarly affected until peace is de
clared. According to this view, al
early peace agreement,>on essentials
would release the armies, including tn
| American troops holding the occupied
regions.
Having secured an early agrnemen
on territorial and other practical de
tails, it is suggested the larger gen
eral questions, like league of nations
could come up later for extended dis
| cusSions, either by the peace congress
or a separate international congress t,
formulate the working details of tn
league. This view is chiefly held b,
those favoring the old Vienna congress
procedure, OF individual claims first
while the American viewpoint is dis
tinctly favorable to establishing ideal
first, as the guiding principle of tn
