SECOND WILSON TRIP
SEEMS PROBABLE
Trend of Peace Conference
Points to Return.

PARIS, Jan. 29,-Much ms President
Wilson still hopes TO avoid a second
trip to Europe II begins TO look as II
the trend OF Peace Conference affairs
would cause him to feel impelled 10 re-
cross the Atlantic In the early spring.
Recent statements purporting TO an
nounce definitely that the President had
arranged TO come back 10 Paris after
going to Washington in February and
even giving the date OF his sailing on
his return trip were founded. u may lie
said. en- no dehnite Information. The
fact Is that the President, while still
hoping II will turn out that another
trip TO Europe will he unnecessary, is
waiting to see what the remaining fs-
teen days OF his stay in France will
bring forth before finally deciding on
his course. But the President from the
first has been holding himself ready to
return II he thought IL necessary. and
within the last day or so he has told
officials in his confidence that he was
impressed with the feeling that II would
be his duty 10 return and that he wae
beginning to think he could not escape IT,
The President is said to have told his
confdants that II events pointed TO the
need OF his return he felt that his course
would be found fully Justified when he
addressed Congress, as he plans to do
almost Immediately on his return to the
United States. II has developed that he
has abandoned tho idea of returning by
way OF England and stopping at Oxford
to receive the degree which that univer-
slty desires to confer upon him. II his
plans in this respect hold. therefore. he
will sail from Brest on the steamer
George Washington. now on her way to
France. some time between February 10
and February Is. going direct to the
United States. The steamer will prob
ably take the southern route. which she
followed on her way over. to avoid bad
weather.
II IL realized here that President WILL
sons arrival home with plans for de-
parting for Europe again would bring
up the question OF an extrat session of
the new Congress with Republican ma
Jorities in both houses, The best avail
able opinion here IL that II an extra
session be thought Inevitable the Presi-
dent would call II before his return TO
France. probably setting the date ahead
TO some time IN June. expecting 10 finish
the business OF the Peace Conference In
time 10 return 10 Washington and be In
the White House when the new Congress
asse mbled.
The Presidents friends here say he Is
prepared to answer any criticisms OF an
intended return 10 France with facts
which he will lay before Congress In
the addresses which he will probably de-
liver.

GLASGOW STRIKERS
THREATEN A RIOT
Thousands Parade Streets and
Demand That Government
Intervene.
ULTIMATUM IS GIVEN
Situation on Clyde Grows
Worse; 10000 Desert
Shipyard Work.

LONDON, Jan. 2e.--The only ameliora a
ton in the strike situation has been a
concession by the employers of forty
eisht hour week to all road and trans
port workers, which resulted from con-
ference held to-day. The Nottingham
miners strike has been settled by the
concession OF the principal demands or
the miners.
ON the CLYDE, where more than 10000
workers are out, the situation has grown
worse, and there were stormy genes at
Glasgow as a sequel to the refusal OF

putes. Thousands OF strikers after a
mass meeting paraded the streets. and
after an unsuccessful attempt to per-
sunde the municipal electricians to join
the strike sent deputation to the Lord
Provost warning him that unless he Sc
cured an answer TO their demands that
the Government intervene In the dispute
by Friday unconstitutional methods
might be adopted for enforcing their de-
mands.
The strikers say that their object Is TO
remodel trades unionism" and to estao-
iish on national basis the policy OF
direct action" of which this strike Is
an example
The leaders Of the Glasgow strikers
are said to be trying to link up the
strike on the Clyde with the strikes In
Belfast and London, notwithstanding tho
differences In the aims OF all three OF
these movements.
The Belfast strike committee. which
WELD immense power, has taken upon
itself. with the involuntary acauiescence
OF the civic authorities, some OF the at
