Steuben.
Speaking of the conference and
the terms of the forthcoming treaty,
Mr.. Gregory said that in his opinion
the agreements arrived at would be
satisfactory to the majority of the
people of the United States.
Difficulties Overcome
There were numerous Difficult
ties and differences of opinion con-
fronting the delegates" he said, but
they were met and settled by the
conterees as gentlemen. While no
country, of course. obtained all it
wanted. I believe the provisions will
be generally accepted"
Regarding his own work while
abroad, Mr.. Gregory said little. He
added, however, that part of it had
to do with Il special mission for the
War Department. He said he had
been looking into the possible return
home of the bodies of American
troops who died abroad and con-
firmed cable reports that the work
of locating and Identifying bodies
and marking graves was progress
ing satisfactorily.
Wilson Still Popular
Mr.. Gregory asserted that Presi-
dent Wilson's popularity abroad had
not waned. The Presidents present
stay in France, however. had been
that of n worker. he said. without
the acclaim attending his first visit.

POLES TO GET

FROM DANZIG

ternationalized, 1t Is
Understood

Paris, April l9.-The Polish Ger
man boundary question was finally
disposed of by the Council of Four
Yesterday. No announcement was
made of the decisions taken. but it
is understood that DanziS will be
internationalized, while the Poles
will have a corridor running from
that city to their frontier to give
them access to the sea.
Only routine work in connection
with the coming of the German
delegates was taken up in the after
noon. The most important remain
ing question to be settled is that of
JuEoslav and Italian claims in the
Adriatic. This matter will come up
to-day with Baron Sidney Soninno,
the Italian foreign minister, probab-
~ present to set forth the Italian
case. 1t is said that the Council
of -Four intends to settle this con-
flict at to-day's session.
1t was stated in we'll informed
quarters to-day that the situation of
'ie peace itSOlldNLOIlS was SuCn ludI
President Wilson probably would be
able to sail homeward May 20,
and possibly a little earlier-by May
Is.
The belief was expressed that the
President would call an extra session
of Congress to convene between May
10 and June /.
The present indications are that
the peace treaty will be signed be-
fore the Presidents departure. In
formation reaching the delegates
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 at the earliest possible
moment,

view held by all those watching TO

would be forthcoming later to-day
Mishaps of all kinds were suggested
as possible causes for his delay, in
cluding one that he had fallen int,
