 The degree to be conferred on Pres ident Wilson by the University of Paris will. it is said, be the first hon. orary degree to be given by this seat of learning. Likewise. the degree to be given the president by the Uni versity of Rome will be unique in the annals of that university so far as a Foreigner is concerned.

 Will Discuss Problems.
 It is said that President Wilson's conferences with entente statesmen during the next few days undoubtedly will center on questions surrounding the proposed league of nations and the definition of "freedo m Of the seas," and possibly also on the ques- tion of indemnity.

The president is said to agree fully with the entente premiers as to the great wrongs Of military power, but to feel most strongly that the ways Of right ing theT1 EiIst be consistent with the objects of the war. It is asserted that he thinks the right procedure would be first a careful determination of justice of demands for reparation for damage and then the determination of the method of payment, and the possibility of obtaining payments.
