Hopes for speedy Ratification
President Wilson has several appoint
nents for today, including a cali from
renresentatives Of the Bible Society and
lists from some Republican Congress-
men who have arrived in Paris. He is
determined. however. that nothing shall
I've perrnitted to obst-uct the progress OF
the commission engaged on the scheme
for the society of nations
He Is. therefore, concentrating his
attention upon that work. While less
than two weeks remain before the date
sat for his return to Washington, 1t is
stiII regarded as within the range OF
nossibility for the great project not only
- he reported from the commission, but
aIso for the Peace Conference in plen-
arv session, to ratify the plan and thus
n,t II fairly in the way to be registered
in treaty form within the time limit.
Tb,s would make a record for interna-
tional conferences, but the Paris gath
e.,nz already has done that In several
| instances.
Hastens Peace Treaty
| There is a growing feeling here that
,ha treaty. of peace should be speedily
,oar,ected' now that the principle of the
| soc,etv of nations and many OF the
| dotails of it's construction have been
aoroad upon. Arthur J. Balfour, the
Pritish Foreign Sc eretary, is engaged
unon a proposition TO define the ter
liritorial boundaries of the defeated ma
tions at once and promptly conclude
neace with the enemy as SO constituted
The program would then be TO go on
with the settlement Of the other ques-
tions remaining to be solved under the
rules of the society of nations
Even If the effort to secure final ac-
tion before President Wilson's depart
ure should fail. it is considered by ac-
tive sponsors that the ultimate success
OF the plan has in reality already beer
assured through the adoption by tht
full conference of the declaration which
binds the delegations to the creation Of
such an organization.
For the present. the main effort o.
the promoters is to keep out all mat
ters from the plan which are not abso
lutely vital. Thus 1t may prove tina

President Wilson presided at the open

Houses apartments yesterday afternoon
and lasted from to 8 o'clock.
Special interest attached TO the meet

sentation of a definite plan on the con-
stitution Of the league There were

Bourgeois Presents Plan
Leon Bourgeois the French proponent
of a league Of nations, transmitted to
the commission recommendations as TO
principles, which had been submitted TO
him by the Inter-Allied Association for
the Promotion of a League of Nations.
One OF the recommendations urged the
establishment of an International COM
mission on education. Other recommen-
dations were of military nature. One
of these would bind the associated
States 10 prohibit the sales of arms and
munitions now possessed. or which may
be ultimately manufactured. TO States
outside the league, while another would
prohibit the trade and manufacture oi
all arms and munitions of war by pri.
vate establishments.
II also was recommended that the

FULFILLED Americas Wish
when the soldiers of America
crossed the ocean, they did not bring
with them merely their arms. They
brought with them a very vivid con-
ception of France. They landed upon
the soil of France with ruicKened
pulses. They knew that they had
come to do a thing which the heart
of America had long wished to do.
