PRESIDENT WILSON NOW
READY TO RETURN HOME
Leaves Europe With Satisfaction over
the Course of Peace Conference,
He Tells Newspaper Men

! Paris. June 2S-The sojourn of Pres
ident Wilson in Europe will end today
when he starts homeward Immediately
| following the signing of the peace
treaty. All arrangements for his de
parture have been completed and the
special presidential train will leave the
Care des Invalides at 80 this morn
ing, where the president will board
the steamship George Washington
which sails about noon.
On his arrival in the United States,
President Wilson will go straight to
Washington to lay before congress the
results of the peace conference. He
will leave soon afterward for an ex-
tended tour of the country for the
purpose of explaining directly TO the
people all questions relating to the
peace treaty and the league of nations
covenant.
The president goes back to the
United States more than satisfied his
friends say. with the net results of
the conference. and, all things con-
sidered, it is his opinion that the con-
terence mas Uten II NOUueT1ul success.
While 1t is regarded as disadvan-
tageous peace for Germany, yet against
this it is held that Germany committed
great wrong and quite naturally and
inevitably must make just PREPARATION
for that wrong.
But outside of German results. the
conference is viewed in presidential
quarters as liberating peoples who
never before had chance of liberty,
such as Poland, Czecho-Slovakia and
JugO- Slavia. Also, the conference is
credited with banding together the peo-
pie of the world to make the peace
regime enduring.
Other large results, it was pointed
out, are the giving of character to la
Dor, removing restrictions on interna-
tional intercourse and many other in
ernational results which can be sum-
ned up as "a colossal business" such
rs the world never dreamed of be-
ore.

Decision to separate the wartime,

most drastic liquor bill ever presented
to congress-was reached after an all

tinct bills be drafted was rejected, but
it was brought up again yesterday by

Massachusetts. and was pending when
a motion to adjourn ended the discus
sion that was animated and heated
May Save Beer.
There was no indication as TO how
the committee would have voted, but
several leading prohibition members
agreed last night that in view of the
difference between the two issues and
the possibility that the sale of beer
and light wines might be permitted
until January by presidential procla-
nation, the wisest thing to do was to-
report out the wartime bill the first
thing today, and the constitutional
bill later in the day. In this way
there is assurance, they say, that the
wartime bin would be passed prob
ably by both houses before July 1.

Berlin. June 2S.-The German gov

as far as the Elbe, where it would
be attacked by strong German forces.
the Danzig correspondent of the Tage-
blatt declares in a dispatch describing
the details of secret plan to create
a separate state in northeastern Ger
many.
The plan failed because of .iealOusies
and differences of opinion between the
government and the army leaders, the
correspondent says.
The last proposal made by the con-
spirators planning TO oppose the allies,
it is said. was to ask Poland to COM
bine with eastern Germany in the for
nation of an independent republic.
The offer, it is declared, was re-
buffed by the Poles, who asked why 1t
had not been offered 10 years ago.
