ming of the week, and NJ. Clemenceau
was expected back from a brief yaca-
ton at the same time Mr. Lloyd
George arrived in. the French capital
Saturday. Conferences among ths
representatives of the allies we're to
begin at once. It seems probable that
the number of delegates to the peace
conference will be enlarged so that
! experts in certain lines may sit at the
| board when the things they know most
about are being discussed Great Brit

| Balfour and Bonar Law, and among

such men as Viscount Hardinge, Sir
William G. Tyrrell, Sir Louis Mallet,

AN imposing list Of truly big men
| thoroughly trained in diplomacy and
statecraft
The numerous and complicated
questions that the peace conference
must take up and settle have given rise
to the suggestion that the congress
should be a continuing body so that fu-
| ture developments might be taken in
to consideration and matters decided
that are now too hazy for clear vision.
If this plan were adopted, the forma-
ton Of the league of nations might not
be so pressing question as it is now
considered by President Wilson and
many others who support his views
General satisfaction is expressed
with the desire of the department of

enemy aliens now interned for their.

Secretary Daniels tells the congress
i sional committee that his determine.
: ton to have great navy is based on
the argument that if the league of ma
S tions is formed the United States will
be shirking its share of the policing Of
I the world if its navy is not as big as
Great Britain's; and that if the league
is not established and a curtailment
y of armament is not agreed upon, we
must have "incomparably the greatest
navy in the world" to defend the Mon.
s roe doctrine and protect the weak ma
n tions. His program, according to his
