Second Trip to France
By President Wilson if1
The Spring is Probable

Paris. ian. 29.-Much as President
Wilson hopes to avoid a, second trip
to Europe 1t begins to look as IL the
trend of peace conference AFFAIR would
cause him to feel impelled to recross
the Atlantic in the early spring.
The president is awaiting to see
what the remaining is days Of his
stay In France will bring forth before
finally deciding on his course. sa
But the president from the first
has been holding himself ready to
return IL he thought it necessary and
within the last day or so he has told
officials in> his confidence that he
was impressed with the feeling that
1t would be his duty to return.
The president is said to have told
his confidants that he felt his course
would be found fully justified when
he addressed congress as the plans TO
do almost imme diately on his return
TO the United States.
It has developed that he has aban-
doned the idea of returning by way
Of England and stopping at Oxford
TO receive the degree which that uni
varsity desires to confer upon him.

TRANSFORMATION
OF WEIMAR IS NO
UNlMPORTANT TASK

+ Weimar. Tuesday. Jan. 2s.-(By
the Associated Press. 1.-The transfor-
nation of Weimar from literary
shrine and unimportant provincial
town into the seat Of the German ma
tional assembly is presenting physical
difficulties of no small caliber.
The chief problem is connecting
Weimar with the outside world, as the
town is wholly unequipped for ac-
commodating an important political
gathering and the attendant demands
OF newspaper men. At present more
than 1000 telegraph and telephone
experts are at work here establishing
needed communication.
1t Is proposed to establish aerial
communication between Weimar and
Berlin so as to lessen the burden on
the wires.
