SOME pousT STILL LEFT ABOUT

doubt the exact status OF the repre-
sentatives because the President had
not been fully informed az TO the
exact formalitles OF procedure In or
Eanlzing the conference.

head the American delegation, but the
question Of whether the President
himself during his stay in France
would be considered a part OF the
delegation proper may depend upon
the course adopted by the heads OF
the other great associated Govern
ments.

dent Of the United States lies all
the power that will be exercised

tsrsnes. and the delegates must

10 sne Of form.
