Paris, April ia formal invita-
tion has been sent by the council OF
four to the German government to
send representatives to Versailles for
the meeting Of the peace congress
April Is. 1t Is expected the German
delegation will reach Versailles about
April "A. The complete German peace
mission probably will number about
200 The German delegates to the
peace conference while at Versailles
will reside In wing Of the Hotel des
Reservoirs. adjoining the prefecture of
police, according to arrangements an
nOunced by Paul Dutasta, general SEC
retary Of the peace conference.
French delegates or members OF
their staffs Will occupy the rest Of the
hotel. Most of the French delegates
and the delegates from the other coun-
tries probably will go to Versailles d.
rectly to attend the meetings with the
German delegates Mt the Trianon Pal
ace hotel, where the supreme war
council has its headquarters. Tho
meetings 1t seems probable, will cos
tinue for ten or fifteen days.
The treaty Of peace will be signed
in the famous hall of mirrors in the
palace at Versailles.
Now that the Germans have been
called to Versailles on April %. the
indications are that the proceedings
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 when their attention was
called to the reports in French papers
that his departure had been fixed for
April %. 1t was declared that no such
Intention had been formed, and that
the progress on the main questions
now gave promise that the President
would not only attend the opening of
Congress at Versailles, but would re-
main long enough to see Its work car
ried through.
Precise details Of what is to be done
on the arrival of the German delegates
10 being worked out. Preliminary to
their arrival, plenary session Of the
peace conference Is to be held mt the
foreign office for determination of the
final course to he pursued by the al
lies before entering into relations with
H. German plenipOtentiaries.
Whether the treaty and covenant
will both be presented has not been
decided, but 1t is probable that the
treaty portion of the document will
not be made public until after Its de-
livery to the Germans.
The procedure with the enemy pleni-
potentiaries is also receiving atten-
ton. One plan under consideration Is
for the council of four to hold the
first meeting with the Germans and
deliver the document. This would not
b q public session, and its main pur-
pose would be to arrange effective dis
posal of the business without pro-
Ioaged discussion.

London, April 1.-THE allied repre-
sentatives in Paris have arrived at
complete understanding on the great
fundamental questions that would ef-
feet peace with Germany. Premier
George declared in addressing the
House of Commons The allies had
formulated their demands and he
hoped that they would be presented
shortly. The premier declared, how
ever, that the situation was "still full
of perils for all countries" He plead
ed that 'those who were trying to do
their best be let alone"
No conference in history, said the
premier, had been faced with prob
lens of such variety, cOmplexity,
magnitude and gravity. The congress
of Vienna, which was the nearest ap-
proach to 1t, took eleven months for
its work, but that congress, Mr.. Lloyd
George pointed out, sank into insig-
nificnnce as compared with what had
been settled by this conference.
1HC tlluc bHCht ny thC RCaCG NOes-
ference in framing the League Of Ma
tions plan saved time instead Of vast
ing It. Mr. Lloyd George declared, as
the league would provide means OF
adjustment of possible errors.
II would rather leave Russia Bot
shevist until they see their way out
of IL rather than see Great Britain
landed In bankruptcy" was one of the
premier's declarations.
"It is not true that the United
States and Europe have been at vari-
ance," the premier declared. He depre-
Gated attempts to SOW dissension
among the delegates.
After referring to the worldwide
extent of the war, the premier said
that new states had sprung into ex-
istence, some of them Independent,
some semi-independent and some that
might be protectorates. and although
their boundaries might not be defined,
some indication Of them must be
given.
The premier made q vigorous at
tack upon those who had Attempted
to sow dissensiOn, distrust and sus-
picion" between the nations whose
"cordiality and good will toward each
other was essential" He could not
conceive of n worse crime, he de-
clared. Mt time when nothing could
save the world but keeping the ma
tions together.
The delegates. said Mr.. Lloyd
George, had never forgotten what
France had gone through, and they
had not forgotten to what she was
entitled. net merely security against
repetition of German attack, but to
feel sense Of security against 1t.
The conference had come to
unanimous conclusion on all the ques-
tions before 1t, including a decision
that to publish the peace terms before
they were discussed with the enemy
would be a first-class blunder. Their
premature publication, he contended,
could only serve to encourage the re-
sistance of the enemy.
Mr.. Lloyd George denied that he
was trying to escape the declarations
he made during the general election
campaign. The declaration regarding
making Germany pay, he declared,
had been concurred In by all the party
leaders.

Paris, April 19.-It was stated in
well-informed quarters that the sttua-
tion Of the peace negotiations was
such that President Wilson probably
would be able to sail homeward May
20, and possibly q little earlier-May
10. The belief was expressed that the
President would call an extra session
of Congress to convene between May
Is and June 1. Present indications
are that the peace treaty will be
signed before the Presidents depart
ure. Information reaching the dele
gates tends to show that the Germans
are not planning to take up time and
delay the signing of the treaty, as they
desire settlement of the peace terms
ut the earliest possible moment.
Paris.-A petition asking fer the
punishment Of the Germans responsi-
BILE for the deportation of women from

5000 women. including Madame Gas
ton, Cnlmette and Mrs. Anna ROose-
welt. The petition says:
"In spite of the most elementary
laws of humanity, Thousands of wOm-
en-, girls and children of every condi-
ton were systematically abducted
from their families and were forced to
submit to the most odious treatment
We women of France, with bleeding
and broken hearts, demand justice
from the peace conference on behalf
of our martyred sisters.
ITO prevent such crimes from ever
being perpetrated again we demand
that those guilty of them be punished
like ordinary criminals. We trust you
will exact full Justice from Germany
and her allies. We are nearing the
anniversary Of the day, April %, 1915,
when that odiOus deed, against which
the women of all nations protest, was
carried out, and We firmly trust that
another year will not elapse before the
guilty are punished, both those who

ALASKANS RETURN
 FROM CAMP LEWIS

minute of it, and according to them, it is the only trail worth travelling on for scenic beauty, shortness and safety. Archie Myre says that con- siderable surprise was expressed ..y people in Anchorage that mail and express to the Interior is not routed by way of this trail.
 Of the life in the army at Camp Lewis, the boys had much to cay. Their military duties were never very hard, and on the whole they say they had splendid time. Of the TT members of the Alaska 20 l. tngent at Camp Lewis, all but three were down with the flu; some suf- fering more than others Seven of them passed away; those being Dorman Baker, Joe Cunningham, Red Sabanoff, Mike Sabanoff, AL bert Johnson, Christ Miscovich and Mike Hamoff; and their death cast quite a gloom over the entire camp, especially over the Alaskan soldiers. There were many deaths at Camp Lewis due to the flu.
 Seattle and the neighborhood, the boys think, is a fine place to live in for short time, if one has plenty of money to spare, but it is no place at all for an Alaskan to live in for any length of time. The cost of living is too high, they said, and the best job any Alaskan can get out there is little more than a meal ticket, although the wages prevailing are higher now than at any time in the history of the coun- try. Meals are high priced, and Archie Myre definitely stated that one could get an immensely better meal in every way for 75 cents in Interior Alaska than he could for the same price anywhere in Seattle.
 Every one of the Alaskans in the army, as well as those who went Outside to better themselves, are dead anxious to get back North again, and a large influx of former Alaskans is predicted this spring.
 Thousands of men in the army have made earnest inquiry regard. ing the Northland, and the boys have enlightened them to the best of their ability, and they expect to see great many of them in In- terior Alaska soon.
 Among the Alaskans met by the boys just before they left Seattle were TBy Lamb, who is working on the Seattle waterfront; Jack Brevig Jack McGovern, Eric Nelson, Bot Mitchell, Matt Hyland, Slim Pack. ard and several others, and they have all said that they will leave for the North just as soon as they !; possibly can.

The resolution says that:
"Groups of irresponsible. professional
