by Wireless President Wilson learned
today by wireless from Col Edward NJ.
House that the plans of the French gov
eminent contemplate the peace conference
getting down to its sessions prior to Jan.

the American troops and Italy, and other
functions. in order to leave his time en-
tirely free when the conference begins.
In the meantime he viii have informal
conferences with Premier Lloyd George
7! of Great Britain, Premier Clcmenceau of
France Premier Orlando OF Italy, and
others, to smooth out any points of differ
ence which may arise between the United
States and the allies with regard to the
groundwork of the conference.

vigorously all functions not necessarily

pleasure trips. On his arrival in Paris
