the recent gathering of the Supreme

In the meantime, reports that the

them to remain more than two or
three days.
The opening of the peace congress
is set for the first week in January.
1t was the desire of the Americans
to begin at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Other delegations felt that a
later date would be necessary, owing
to the Christmas holidays and the of
fetal functions connected with the
presence of President Wilson and
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy. but
the first week in January finally was
chosen.
Preliminary Work First.
The first meetings will be for the
actual framing of the preliminaries of
peace with the representatives of the
enemy powers, who will be present.
The names of the French delegates
to the peace congress have not been
announced. but it is understood they
will be three members of the govern
ment and possibly a fourth member.
The British delegates will be Pre-
mier Lloyd George, Foreign Minister
Balfour, Bonar Law, chancellor of the
exchequer, George Nicell Barnes, labor
member of the war cabinet, and a
fifth delegate not yet selected.
1t is anticipated that the peace de-
liberations will last about four months
and that unless unforeseen obstacles
arise the final action will be reached
the early part of May.

found floating in the Missoula river
recently, was given an impetus yester-
day when Sheriff Green received word
that the Jasper County tMoD Anti

the murder
The Missoula codnty commissioners
took up the matter Of offering a reward
but finally decided to spend the money
in searching for the murderer instead
The case is one Of the most battling
