IS MADE AT PARIS
Peace Negotiations Are
Rapidly Nearing Compile
ton, White House Hears
WILSON MAY STAY
TO SIGN TREATY

Talk NOW OF SScrct flenary session
Before Arrival of German Delegates
April 25-Treaty May Not be Made
Public Until Then.
WASHINGTON, April l6-Distinct
Improvement in the general peace con-
ference situation, reported to the White
House from Paris today, indicated that
excellent progress is being made toward
concluding the negotiations.
PARIS, April 16 (Associated Press
A secret plenary session of the peace
conference is suggested to submit terms
to not only those states directly in
terested, but to all who broke relations
with Germany. It is proposed to have
this session before the arrival of the
German delegates April 25.
Now that the Germans have been
called to Versailles on April % the in
dications arc that the proceedings may
move with such despatch that 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 President s
intimate today when their atten-
tion was called 10 the reports in French
papers that his departure had been fixed
for April 2S. 1t was declared that nc
such intention had been formed, and
that the progress on the main questions
now gave promise that the President
not only would attend the opening OF
| the congress at Versailles, but wouls
remain long enough to see its work
carried through, though prolonged delay
| by the enemy delegates would of course
| prevent such aetiou.
Precise details i. what Is to be don,
on the arrival of the. German delegate
is being carried out. Preliminary Il
their arrival a plenary session of tn,
peace conference is to he held at tn,
foreign Office for determination of tn
final course to be pursued by the allie
before entering into relations with tn
/ German plenipotentiaries.
Whether the treaty and eovenan
win both be presented has not vet beel
decided, but it is probable that tn
treaty portion of the document vii
not be made public until after its dc
livery to the Germans.

living; I'll have to learn by having
everything read to me; I'll have to
be like other girls whether | feel
like it or not (more than likely
won't feel like it,. You know it will
be a fight for me, a fight that
can't tell folks here about, nor the
folks at home.
Did Annie succeed in her fight?
President Whitfield has expressed
the answer for all of us in his 'Appre-
ciation" Annie Denman, the au-
thor of this little volume, has been
blind since babyhood; and yet, with
heart full of love, a soul over
flowing with unselfishness, will
that recognized no obstacles, and
an optimism always buoyant, she
has fought her way over the difficult
ties that loss of physical vision
imposes, and has developed into a
sane, wholesome, brilliant young
woman-a pride to her home, to
the schools she has attended, and to
her many interested friends. AS a
fitting reward for work and love,
she will receive the A. B. degree
from the Mississippi Industrial In
stitute and College in June. During
her college course she asked no fa-
vors, performing her tasks and meet
ing her duties with courage and
faith that shamed many for their
small accomplishments under most
favorable conditions"
The most memorable poems in
the book are "You Only See What
Grows" ITO a Daffodil" and Lit
tie Stream" TALL are voluntary
memory passages). This will al
ways remain a mystery to Annie's
friends: How is she able, through
the minds eye alone, to sense form
and color so realistically?
A thousand copies of the book
have been published. The work
must be given a wide circulation.
