WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-In the face
of growing criticism over certain
phases of his European trip President
Wilson apparently is the only official
here who is not disturbed over the
outlook. 1t is said tonight that the
President is counting upon his mes
sage to be delivered to Congress next
Monday to sweep away much of the
hostile feeling that has developed.
He likewise expects Congress to be
appeased by it and to take quite an
other view OF matters before the
President goes aboard the George
Washington Tuesday to begin his
trip.
1t is intimated tonight in Admin
istration circles that the Presidents
address will be specially framed to
meet the unusual situation which has
developed. due to the outspoken hos
tilty of the Senate. The belief here
is that the Presidents message will
not be the one he originally planned.
May Outline All His Plans.
1t may be. in view of the circum.
stances. that the President will go
more into detail than he intended.
and that more may he said Of his
programme than he intended. Ic
would cause little surprise II he ont
lined boldly the principles for which
ton hsk support Of the Senate for
them.
The statement of Premier Lloyd
George OF Great Britain outlining tho
British point OF view gives the Presi
dent an excuse for discussing the
main points Of the peace programme
In advance OF the preliminary session
at Versailles II he wishes to do so.
Meanwhile however. Administration
officials are admittedly worried over
possibilities which may develop Mon
day at the Capitol. The report that
Republican members contemplated
dent when he appeared before them
has caused some CONSERVATION among
the Presidents friends and Is taken as
an indication of the temper OF Con-
gresS,
Not Counting on Damages.
1t developed to-day that the United
| States Government does not count
upon obtaining damages from Cor
many ANA likewise does not take
kindly to r.. idea OF making the
Kaiser pay the supreme penalty for
his crime. The idea In Administra-
tiOn circles is that these plans are not
altogether practical despite Lloyd
Georges speech yesterday. which was
! characterized as "primarily an cleo
tion speech"
Further appeals for representation
at the peace deliberations continue 10
be made public. Organized labor now
announces the sending of delegation
to Paris headed by Samuel Gompers.
The possibility Of the Senate seniing
over a delegation to watch proceed
ings is, however. worrying the Ad-
ministratlun more than all the other
reports
Announcement was made to-day
that the seCretar.al force OF the Amer.
iCan peace commission would consist
