son. whose next move III thc interna-
tional situation is awaited with iucrcas-
ing interest throughout the world. held
IA conference to-day with Secretary Lam
sing and Col. House at the White House.
The conference Is generally regarded as
forecastng an early appearance OF the
President before joint session OF Con-
sress.
Exposure OF the sham and trickery OF
Count Won lIertling's latest speech in
the Reichstag and an indication OF the
United states attitude toward the So
called German Russian peace terms are
expected to figure prominently in the
Presidents address.
Neither Secretary Lansing nor Col.
House would discuss the conference this
afternoon. One Interpretation was that
the President had outlined the next sd-
dress he proposed to deliver. while the
other was that the official text of Count
Won llertling's speech had just been re-
ceived At the State Department and the
President wished to go over it with his
advisers. Col House also conferred with
Lord Reading. the British Ambassador.
He returned 10 New York tonight

Il is generally accepted that the Presi-
dents appearance before Congress on
the present international status will no.
be long delayed and there would be no
surprise II it occurred before the end OF

The President las made It clear that
. he intends TO keep Congress informed
Of the developments on account Of the
new open dplomacy which is to feature
exchanges q! views from now until the
end of the wai. In Great Britain and

there would be no such opportunity were
II not for the Presidents decision to

Gress and set forth this Government 5
views much as British and French
statesmen have been doing.
Ofiicisls explain that there are many
reasons at this particular time which
prompt the President 10 make another
official statement on the international
situation. The attitude OF the United
States and the Entente on the German
Russian peac. Pact has not vet been

 The state council is subsidiary to

 mittees. The latter has been SUD-
 planted in some communities by the
 war Bureaus, such as the one in New
 Britain. Under the state council,
 there are number of sub-commit-
 tees. The committee on state protec-
 ton has the duty of seeing that the
 enemy aliens of the state are proper
 ly looked after, and that the indus
 tries arc safely guarded. The trans
 portatlon committee must sec that all
 methods of transportation are kept open. It must also look after tho transportation of troops to and from camps. The IOOu toi1lhlAIIS0 10 oiA'S too well known.
 The food supply of the state is kept under strict supervision. Much aid has been rendered by the Connecticut Horticultural college. The publicity committee has organized the war ral- lies which will soon begin. Bulletins are issued regularly, and all matter IS translated for the foreign element or the population. The financial commit tee has rendered wonderful assistance in the Liberty Loan campaigns. The women's committee aids the women of foreign birth in ways of saving food and to prevent waste.

German Press Dissatisfied.

Amsterdam. Jan. l6.-Great dis satisfaction is expressed by the Ger man newspapers at the slow progress of the peace negotiations at Brest- Litovsk and the Russian are charged with prolonging them deliberately. This delay is affecting the negotia- tions in progress at Petrcgrad where, according to the Weser Zeitung of Bremen, the discussion regarding eX- change of prisoners has yielded no results thus far. The Tageblatt of Berlin makes a similar complaint re- garding the work of the special Ger man commercial commissions now in Potrograd.
 Most of the papers assert Germany will never think of completely evaru- oting the occupied Russian territory before peace has been brought about cn all fronts.
