The peace treaty of Versailles is the fruit of about five months of confer ences, in which delegations from 32 allied countries and Germany participated. The five leading nations, the United States. Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan were represented in the peace conferences at Paris by five delegates each, while the delegations of other nations and British dominions were composed of from one to three men.
 The representatives of the United States were President Wilson, Secretary of State Robert Lansing, Henry White, for merly American ambassador at Rome and Paris, Colonel Edward M. House and Gen. Tasker l.. Bliss.
 Georges Clemenceau, premier of France, was chairman of the peace con- ference.
 At first a supreme council. or a coun- cil of ten. was organized so as to include two representatives each from Great Britain France, the United States, Italy and Japan. Subsequently this council was divided in two parts-a council of four, composed of President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Orlando, and a council of foreign min- isters.
 CONVENED JANUARY IS
 The conference of the allied delegations convened officially on January IS to draw up the terms to be submitted when com pleted to the German delegation. Presi- dent Wilson had arrived in France on December 13 and had visited England, Italy and parts of France.
 One of the first acts of the conference was to send a proposal to all Russian factions to meet on the Princes Islands to endeavor to compose the Russian in- ternal situation, but this plan was re- jected by the Russians. Various fac- tions which were disputing over terri tory in different sections of Europe were directed by the peace conference to dis continue their conflicts.
 The first step toward the actual draft ing of the treaty occurred on January 24, when the conference agreed to the plan for organization of league of na- tions and a committee was appointed to draw up a covenant By January 30 the conference had adopted the plan of gov erning colonies and backward nations through mandatories issued to various nations, subject to the direction and ap- proval of the league of nations
 The covenant of the league of nations was completed on February A. On the following day President Wilson left France for the United States. He re- turned to France, arriving there March 13. In his absence the council of ten had continued it's work despite an at tempt to assassinate Premier Cemenceau
