PRESSURE tOR EARLY
DEMORIIIZATIDN

Paris, Jan. 25.--President Will
son suggested conference with
representatives of all the Russian
factions chiefly because he felt
that public sentiment in the United
States would not support large
Am erican military expedition into
Russia. Moreover he felt that sta
hility in Russia is necessary to
the world peace. France is strong
for putting down terrorism with
military force but thinks the
United States ought to furnish the
major part OF the force. Great
Britain also is averse to sending
a largo British force into Russia
1t is admitted here that great
pressure Is being brought to bear
on the president to demobilize the
American army at the earliest
