Deliberations Expected by
Officials to Continue About
Four Months.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 6.-The opening OF
the peace congress at Paris has been set
for the first week in January. 1t IS
expected that the peace deliberations
will last about four months. Unless
unforeseen obstacles arise the belle1
prevails in well informed quarters
that final action will be reached to-
ward the early part of May.
The British delegates to the peace
conference will be Premier Lloyd
George, Foreign Minister Balfour,
Chancellor of the EXchequer Bonar
Law. Labor Minister Barnes and a
fifth representative who has not yet
been selected.
President to Be Informed.
President Wilson will be Informed
by wireless of the plans for the as
sembling of the interallied conference
and the meeting of the peace con-
gress. He will also be advised con-
cerning the recent gathering of the
supreme war council at London.
The plans concerning the peace
meetings are the results OF Col. Eo-
ward NJ. Houses long talk with Pre-
mier Clemenceau, following a confer
ence with Baron Sonnino. the Italian
foreign minister, and the Earl OIL
Derby, the British ambassador to
France.
The interallied conference will re-
assemble on December 16 or II. The
meetings will be at the foreign office
in the Quai d'Orsay, land not at Yer
sailles. David Lloyd George, the Brit
ish premier, and A. J. Balfour, the
foreign minister, expect to come here
at that time to meet President Wilson
and attend the conference, but the
elections in Great Britain may not
permit them to remain more than two
or three days.
Program for First Sessions.
It was the desire Of the Americans
to begin at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Other delegations felt that a
later date would be necessary. owing
to the Christmas holidays and the
official functions conneo&ed with the
presence of President Wilson and
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, but
the first week in January finally was
chosen. The first meeting will be for
the actual framing of the prelim-
inaries of peace with the representa-
tives of the enemy powers, who will
be present.
The names of the French delegates
to the peace congress have not yet
been announced. but 1t is understood
they will be three members of the
government, and possibly a fourth
member.

Publication of Weekly Broached.

A letter written by former Ambas-
sador BernstorfT to the German for
eign Office in 1915, in which it was
stated that William Bayard Hale sug-
gested the establishment Of n weekly
newspaper for German propaganda pur-
poses, was read by Mr.. Bielaski. Ia
this connection Bernstorff sent th's
following to the Berlin foreign Office.
AS to the value of weekly papers III
general there are here very different
views Mr.. Bayard Hale wishes me
to propose to you the founding OF II
Grst-clasS weekly, whereas l, in my re
port No. 412, recommended the start
ing of monthly. Personally think
make happy choice in respect to the
editor. IN this, respect we have had -
very unfortunate experience with the
Times-Mail. Only the future can
show whether we shall have better
luck with Mr. Huntington Wright and
Mr. T. E. Lowe.
saThe fact of an American newspa-
per being subsidized can never be-
kept secret because there is no ret
cence in this country. 1t always ends
with my being held responsible for
all the articles of any such newspa-
per. This is particularly undes!ra5is
when. as now, we are in an electoral
campaign of the bitterest character.
which is turning largely upon for
eign policy.
"I have, therefore, with much satiS-
faction to myself. at last succeeded in
getting out of all relations with Fair
play. Of Mr. Marcus Braun l should
also be glad to be free from the
Fatherland. which has shown itself To
be Of little value.
sIt is particularly difficult in a hos
tile country to find suitable persons
for help of this sort, and to this, as
well as the Lusitania case. we NAV
attribute the shipwreck of the Ger
man propaganda initiated by Herr
Dernburg."

To set at rest numerous rumors re-

announced that after careful eX-
animation of casualty lists it had
been found that the total of casualties
reported from all causes in this di-
vision was "A officers and 1,109 men.
Since the stay of the army of oc-
cupation abroad is indefinite, Gen.
March said it would be necessary to
ask Congress for new enlistment leg
islation.
Under the present law no provision
is made for such a force as will be
needed, after the expiration of war
enlistments four months after peace
is signed.
SO far as transportation is con-
cerned. the chief of staff said it would
be easy to bring home all National
Guard and National Army divisions
within four months. The camps to
which each large unit will be sent for
demobilization will be announced as
soon as Gen. Pershing cables that the
unit has started for home.
