May Meet at The Hague.

PARIS, November diplomats here
are interested in the choice of loca-
ton for the peace negotiations Some
of them think the Carnegie Peace
Palace at The Hague should be chosen
for sentimental reasons. They point
out that The Hague is convenient for
the British. Belgians and Germans and
can be easily reached by land from
Paris. Capt. Gillette of the American
legation at The Hague came through
by land last week and had a safe and
easy journey. Other statesmen prefer
place in French or Italian Switzer-
land, such as Lausanne. Geneva or
Lucerne. They are easy of access
from France, Italy. Austria and Ger

as being gratifying to the Belgians,
who have suffered SO greatly. The

above all best associated with the
history of France. the place where
was signed the treaty that ended the
war OF the American revolution, and
which was really the cradle Of the
German empire.
No matter where the conference is
held, the American Signal Corps will,
according to present plans. string
wires to good cable points. SO that
Washington may be in easy and rapid
communication with the meeting.
