PRESIDENT MAY REMAIN
 FOR SIGNING OF TREATY
Mir Wilson's ntmates Say That No Date Has Been Fixed for His Departure From France-Is Certain to Attend the Opening of the Peace Congress Versailles-lt is Believed the President Will Return to This Country With the Completed Peace Document.

The procedure with the enemy pleni potentiarieS is also receiving attention One plan under consideration is for the council of four to hold the first meet ing with the Germans and deliver the document. This would not be a public session, and it's main purpose would be to arrange effective disposal of the business without prolonged discussion.
 An alternative plan is for the entire membership of the peace conference to proceed to Versailles for a formal session, at which the treaty would be delivered. President Wilson, Colonel House, the members of the council and officers of the protocol are working out these details.
 Premier ClemenCeau on Sunday and President Wilson last night gave out statements showing the progress real iZed and voicing their first official as- surance that the end was in sight. It is noted that the Clemenceau and Will son statements were very general, lacking specific details.
 And there is every reason to believe that the statement which the British prime minister, Mr. Lloyd George, is expected to give out tomorrow will be of the same general character. Pre- mier Lloyd George also has made ii known to those close to him that he will resist heckling concerning specific details of the negotiations. being Satis- fled that parliamentary confidence will net be withheld at the moment the Germans are about to arrive for the consummation Of the peace settlement

GLASS ADDRESSES 4,ooo
 VICTORY LOAN WORKERS

New York, April b. - Widespread distribution of the fifth and final Lib erty loan-the $4,500, 900 900 Victory loan-as an antidote to Bolshevism was urged by Carter Glass, secretary o the treasury, in an address here to- night before 4.000 loan campaigners of the New York federal reserve dis trict.
 "You want to give it widespread dis tribution,' he said. because, in my be- lief, the surest way to shoot down Bol- shevism is to let the people of this country have q material interest in the government. You want to do it in or der to inculcate the lesson of saving and of thrift"
 An additional reason for absorption of the loan by the people rather than by banks, Secretary Glass said was that the greater amount of the loan the banks were called upon to finance, the more their ability would be inn paired to meet the demaaGs for capi- tai and for commerce and industry.
 We should not hesitate a moment. :" he declared. ''Ne should go forward at once. Just as our American boys illustrated the heroism and valor of this nation upon the battlefield, SC American business men and business women should illustrate the patriotism of peace in a different way, and will do it.
 Secretary Glass took up the frequenly heard statement that it would be i'm possible to float another loan. >

GERMANS MUST ACCEPT
 PEACE TREATY OFFERED

New York, April 15.--Cierman lead CTS may storm and threaten to refuse the peace treaty about to be offered to them, but when the time for sign ing comes they will affix their sig natures, Oswald Garrison Willard, ed itor of the Nation predicted here to- day shortly after his return from a four montrs' visit to France anI Ger many.
 Mir, Willard. who spent four weeks in Berlin and other cities of Germany said that cabinet ministers, peace commissioners and others had told him that no treaty similar to the one proposed would be signed. He dis counted their statements, however asserting that when they faced the al formative of signing or seeing ten or twenty millions of Germans starved, J they would sign, just as they accept ed the last extension of the arnistice after threatening to refuse
 Mir. Willard asserted he regarded the reparation terms for Germany as ''eX- tremely generous"
 "AnyoDe,' he said, who has seen the devastated regions of France, as 1 have, must wish that all of this could go to France alone. By 9n then the damage could not be made good. But the American and English experts have examined very carefully into that question and evidently hays de- cided that this was the maximum that Germany could be expected to pay"

 tually all those out were English speaking workers he said.
 The question troubling Us in Law renee said Paul R. Clay. counsel for the mill men, lis not the rispute be- tween employer and employe. The leaders are outsiders. Samuel Bram- hall, the chairman of the strike con- mittee, is a carpenter. A J. Muste, who has just been made secretary of new textile union in New York and
 has been active in conducting the strike here. has never been employed
 in local mill. The real situation
 here is one that goes beyond this board. 1 don't believe there are coo people in Lawrence who have any real grievance"

FOR CONTINUED FEDERAL
 CONTROL OF RAIL ROADS

Portland. Me, April 15-Continua- ton of federal control of railroads long enough after the next presiden- tial election to allow the voters to express their wishes in regard to the question through the election of Can- didates to the sixty seventh congress was urged tonight by Robert W Woolley, member of the interstate Commerce Commission, in an address before the Portland Economic Club.
 MT, Woolley declared that such an extension of government control should be allowed in justice to both the av- craze citizen and the owners of the roads, inasmuch as it was the 'only practical and safe solution of the sit uation as now presented If the railroads were turned back in the near future, he said, the owners would have to put into effect another rate increase to make up for the loss due to less ened traffic since the armistice.
 What would happen if the railroads were to go back into private control in anything like the near future?" MT. Woolley asked. Would not re- ceiverships come practically over night? Furthermore. with postwar conditions-the shrinkage of values uncertainty, tinidity-prevaili the business of the railroads necessarily decreasing for the time being, how many railroads in the United States are there that would not be in danger of bankruptcy?'

Paris. April IS CBy the A. P.).-Now that the Germans have been called to Versailles on April 25. the indications are that the proceedings may move with such despatch that President Wilson can remain for the signing of the treaty. and thus be able to take back the completed document.
 This was the view of the presidents intimates today when their attention was called to the reports in French papers that his departure had been fixed for April g. It was declared that no such intention had been formed and that the progress on the main ques- tions now gave promise that the pres ident would not only attend the open ing of the congress at Versailles but would remain long enough to see its work carried through. though prolong- ed delay by the enemy delegates would, Of course, prevent such action.
 Precise details of what is to he done on the arrival of the German delegates Is being worked out Preliminary to their arrival. a plenary session of the peace conference is to be held at the foreign office for determination of the final course to be pursued by the allies before entering into relations with the German plenipotentaries.
 Whether the treaty and covenant will both be presented has not yet been decided. but it is probable that the treaty portion of the document will uot be made public until after its de- livery Co the Germans.
