Organizing League
Of Nations
Plans for Launching Definitely
Outlined

Paris, April 80 (By the Associated
! Press)-Plans for launching the
league Of nations were fairly definite
ly outlined at luncheon which Col.
E. NJ. House gave today to Sir James
Eric Drummond, secretary general Of
[ the league, Lord Robert Cecil and,
others
The plans are divided into three
main stages: First preparatory de-
tails, which will be worked out at
headquarters to be established at Lon
don during the coming summer; sec
ond, the inaugural meeting Of the
league at Washington next October
under the presidency of President
Wilson: third, the permanent estab-
lishment Of the league at Geneva next
fall or winter.
The preparatory details will begin
soon after the signing of the treaty
and will be in the hands Of the COM
mittee of nine designated by Presi-
dent Wilson's resolution before the
last plenary session Of the confer
ence. Colonel House, Lord Robert
Cecil and the Greek premier, Flip
theories Vnezelos will be among the
members.
Leon Bourgeois will probably not
be the French member as he does not
speak English and most Of the pro-
ceedings will be in that language.
Colonel House with considerable
staff will remain in Europe after the
conference closes, and headquarters
will be removed to London, which is
more convenient for preliminary work
President Wilson will fix the date of
the first meeting and ask the nations
to appoint their three delegates to at
tend the inaugural gatherings at
Washington.

Germans Present
Credentials
Emotion Almost Overcomes the
Head of Hun Mission-Only
5-Minute Ceremony


Versailles. May 1.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-In a session beginning
at 80 o'clock this afternoon and
lasting barely five minutes, the Ger
man plenipotentiaries of the peace
congress presented their credentials.
It was the first step in the peace
negotiations. The German credentials
were presented to representatives OF
the Allies ard the United States.
Pale and almost fainting from emo
ton, Count Won Brockdorff-Rantzau,
the German foreign secretary and
head of the delegation passed through
what evidently was one of the bitter
est moments of his life. He was bare
ly able to sustain himself through
the brief ceremony and reach the
waiting automobile which had brought
him to the gathering.
The meeting took place in the room
of the Trianon hotel previously used
for the sessions of the supreme mill
tarv council. Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau on entering, was accompan-
led by Herr .Landsberg, Professor
Shuecking and two secretaries, and
waiting for him the Allied represen-
tatives were grouped around Jules
Cambon, the former French Am mbassa-
dor to Berlin, who is chairman of the
commission.
Other members of the Allied party
included Henry White, of the United
States. Lord Harding, Great Britain,
and Ambassador Matsui, japan.
NJ. Cambon Immediately addressed
Count Won Brockdorff-Rantzau, stat
ing that he was chairman of the COM
mission entrusted by the Allied pow
ers to receive and examine the Gre
dentials of the German delegates as
the first step in the conference,
which, it was hoped, would lead to
peace.
'Here are ours,'' continued M.
Cambon, extending as he spoke the
formal credentials of the Allied COM
mission as plenipotentiaries to the
congress.
Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau sur
rendered the German credentials, with
even less of formal address, his
emotion being too great to enable
him to deliver an extended discourse.
After these brief ceremonies the
Germans turned and left the hall,
walking a few steps to the cars in
waiting. They were followed imnie-
diately by the Allied representatives.
The whole ceremony was over and
the Allied delegates were proceeding
back toward Paris by $40 o'clock.
The Allied delegates then rode to the
chateau to inspect the Hall of Mirrors,
where the treaty will be signed, and
eventually returned to the hotel for
