Russia May BE Represented.



PARIS. Jan. 14-Russia may be
represented, together with all the
other nations that were engaged in
formal meeting of the Peace Confer
the war against Germany. at the first
ence. Whether Russia will have pres
ent at that time a delegation OF parlia-
ment irrespective of party or other
spokesmen, II any, probably will be
decided at the next meeting prelimi-
nary to the congress. This Will be
held tomorrow because of the opening

had been planned for the congress to
devote twelve hours daily to this work

way to completion.
Marshal Foch, the allied comman-

his headquarters at Treves to meet
the German delegates and lay down
plans for the inspection OF the armis-
tice. There was some disposition dur
ing yesterdays conferences to make
the plans of the inspection more dras-
tic than had at first been proposed,
but this was not carried out. The ex-
tension however, provides for the
turning over of the German feet to

To TELL COUNTRY
Of PEACE WORK
Feels That Sentiment in Favor
of Ideals Will Help in
Europe

PARIS, Jan. 13:-President Wilson
is considering a speaking tour of the
United States when he returns home.
1t is said that this trip will take him
into many of the principal cities and
it is possible that he may touch the
Pacific coast.
With congress out of the way early
in March, Mr.. Wilson would have an
opportunity for such tour before re-
turning to Europe, should he follow
his original plan and IL his return
should be necessary. He would also
have time for his proposed trip before
the convening of an extraordinary
session of congress, should he desire
to call one. So far as known, Mr..
Wilson has no plan for an extra ses-
sion, but he still holds to his idea OF
returning to the peace congress IL II
is felt his presence is necessary to
the success of the League of Nations.
To Aid Peace Principles
The object of his proposed speak
ing tour would be to inform the coun-
try, by his personal speaking, of the
proceedings at Paris and to encourage
public sentiment in support of the
peace principles he has enunciated
and which he feels have been ac-
claimed by the masses in Europe.
There are as yet no official an
nouncements of the Presidents pur-
pose, Dut some OF tloSe Ciose " MIN
suggest such trip is feasible In view
of the fact that IL is now certain that
the peace congress will still be work.
ing ON its problems during the sum-
mer. Mr.. Wilson's friends believe
that popular expressions in the Unit
ed States might support those OF
England, France and Italy and have
great influence on European states-
men.
The President has told his friends
that he considers due respect given
him by the people of Europe, not as
a personal endorsement, but an ar
proval of his peace intervals. He ID
being urged, therefore, to make
speedy tour to give an opportunity for
manifestation OF public opinion In his
own country.
