FIRST SESSION OF CONGRESS TO ARRANGE PEACE OF WORLD OPENS AT PARIS; PRESIDENT
 PO|NCA|RE MAKES STATEMENT

tending French welcome 60 the delegates representing the various countries.
 An official communique issued last evening says the Supreme Inter-Al- lied Council of the Peace Congress has decided to give Belgium and Ser bia three delegates each, instead of two as formerly announced. The question of publicity vs. sec ret or open sessions is being ear nestly considered by the Council. The Peace Congress will be re- garded in the nature of a Cabinet meeting where all differences will be reconciled. An agreement will be
 reached before public discussion
 takes place. Meantime, it was de-
 cided that three representatives of the press and one for each Allied
 power will be admitted to the full
 Conference. However, upon occas-
 ion, when 1t may become necessary, certain deliberations will be held in executive council in order to arrive
 at an understanding before the mat
 ter is given to the press.
 President Wilson will be received at the head of the steps leading to
 the Peace Congress, by Premier Clemenceau. and thereafter the dele
 gates will file into the assembly
 room, and arrange themselves around Ia horseshoe table according to the plan already outlined. dsss4
 Little other than the preliminary
 business of getting organized will
 be taken up at tOday's session

 ing camps, Yockey successfully de- tended his title against the best drillers in the country.
