Paris. Feb. 4.--President Wilson has
several appointments for today. includ-
ing call from representatives for the
bible society and visits from some re-
publican congressman who have ar
rived in Paris.
He is determined, however, that
nothing shall be permitted to obstruct
the progress Of the commission. Of
which he il chairman. and which now
is engaged in perfecting the scheme
for the creation Of a society OF nations.
He ID therefore concentrating his at
tention upon that work. While less
than two weeks remain before the date
set for his return to Washington, 1t is
still regarded as within the range Of
possibility for the great project not
only to be reported from the commits
sion, but also for the peace confer
ence in pleniary session to ratify the
plan and thus put it fairly In the way
to be registered in treaty form within
the time limits. This would make
record for international conference. put
the Paris gathering has done that in
several instances.
Even IL the effort to secure final ac-
ton on the society Of nations by the
peace conference before President VIII
