moral support, including the supply
ing OF needed materials for opposing
BOlshevism.
Intelligence experts say, concerning
Russia, that Bolshevism must be crush

Intervention Is the best method, but

necessary large force. These experts
asserted il would be impossible 10 ac-

they would not keep their promises and
there Is no way OF forcing them TO do

WON'T TALK PEACE
Until MONDAY
Preliminary Meeting is De-
layed by Absence OF
Clemenceau
WILSON BEGINS
OUTLINE OF PLAN
Bv rhe rnited Press.

By The United Press. y
PARIS, Jan. 9.-The program for the
formal conferences OF the associated
powers is changing almost hourly.
Official announcement by the French
government yesterday that a prelimi-
nary meeting would be held in the
foreign offices this afternoon was pre-
mature, as another statement was is
sued today explaining that the meeting
would be postponed until the arrival
Of Premier Clemenceau on Monday.
Thus the program has reverted to
the original plan. Some surprise was
expressed that the American delegates
received the first word OF the meeting
which was TO be held today through
yesterday afternoons papers.
The flood OF the Seine may necessi-
tate a change in the meeting place for
the associated conference. II has been
raining daily since December 4, and
the waters Of the river are now within
two feet Of the top Of the arches OF the
bridge near the foreign office.
President Wilson flguratiyely rolled
up his sleeves today and plunged into
the actual work OF the peace confer
ences.
He conferred this morning with Pre-
mier Orlando and foreign ministar Son
nlno, spending the remainder OF the
forenoon In preparing Of memoranda
which he will use at the first joint con-
ference OF British, French, Italian and
American statesmen.
on account OF the work ahead the
President has postponed all plans for
further trips, but u Is known he hopes
to visit Brussels as soon as conditions
permit. He continues to be swamped
by mail from all parts OF Europe. Hun
dreds OF letters daily contain sugges-
tions regarding the best way 10 effect
peace, form the league OF nations, pre-
vent future wars, etc. Only the most
interesting ones are shown him.
The President Is being invited every
where. One small boy In Swilzerl1nd
wrote that he hoped President Wilson
would visit his country and join him in
playing with the toy soldiers he re-
ceived for Christmas. The President
replied that he wished he could make
the visit and play soldier with the boy
but that he feared he was too busy.
Mrs. Wilson answers many Of the le.-
ters. Both OF them have received more
than a carload Of gifts, ranging from
furniture and statuary 10 -Ire paintings
and jewelry.
The President now walks to the Amer
lean offices in the Hotel Crillon every
day. He has little time for other exer-
else When he appears on the streets he
is generally unrecognized, except by
children who seem always able 10 iden-
tify him. Most OF the time he wears a
soft felt hat. When riding ne wears a
cap. He finds relaxation in reading and
working. He is preparing a memoran-
dun OF the subjects he expects to take
up at the peace conferences personally.

LITTLE DEBATE
 ON TROLLEY BILL General Assembly Sends Re port of Commission to Diff
 fere1lt Committees.

Hartford, April 3-With very little debate, which was contrary to expec- tations, the report of the special troI- ley Investigating commission was re- ferred today by the General Assembly to various committeesf dividing the nine bills which accompanied the re- port among four standing commit tees. The hearings on the bills will be next week and it is expected that these will attract more attention and be more generally attended than any heretofore held this session. The bills relating to highway bridge assess ments, regulation of jitneys and au- thorizing electric estreet railways to operate motor vehicles, went to the roads, bridges and river committees; those on building a street r~.iIway in GrotOn and New London, and author izing the Hartford & Springfield Street Railway to use steam road tracks. and on the appointment of 8 street railway commission, went to the rail- roads committee, that on $2,OOO,OOO aid to railways to the appropriations committee; that on street paving as- sessments to the cities and boroughs committee, and that on relieving the companies from the state tax to the finance committee.
 Hearings were assigned as follows: Bills before the cities and boroughs committee and finance, Tuesday af- ternoOn; those before the railroads and roads. rivers and bridges com mittees, on Wednesday, and that be- fore the appropriations committee on Thursday.
 There will be no session tomorrow. There are not many bills left to be reported and in view of this fact, MT. King. House leaders, offered a reso- luicn to final adjournment on April 23 at 5 D. m. This was tabled after members had expressed their opinions that work could not be concluded by that time or that adjournment ought not come until May 7, the date of the anniversary celebration.

U. s. Army to Retain Some Artillery
 Organizations

(Continued From Page One.) stit11te mobile coast defenses but are to be available for use in the field if circumstances require.
 One dleparture from wartime or ganization is the abandonment of trench nortor batteries with the di- visions. Instead, a single trench mortar regiment will be organized as a part of the army artillery to be assigned for duty by the army com p1ander. The extensive use of trench guns in FTauce was due to stabilized trench warfare conditions.
 The divisional batteries lost their usefulness except in special condi- tIons when the Allied attack turned the warfare into an open struggle. For that reason the trench mortar units of ali divisions were among the first sent home.
 Another new element is the as- signment of two anti-aircraft eectors to the army artillery. These units, personnel also to come from the coast artillery, will include the larger guns for fire against aircraft and will be provided with searchlights to spot night raiders and sound flash ranging equipment to locate either air raiders or concealed guns.

Hartford Democrats
 Dine Cummings

Hartford, April 8 Connecticut Democrats honored Homer s. Cum 1nings, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, at banquet at the Hotel Garde, Hartford, last night. The party of enthusiastic Democrats had gathered to pay tribute to the man who would lead them to power in the 1920 election and MT. Cum Tnings was earnest in his predictions of great victory to his party. In his address he wholly defended the proposed League of Nations and made 1t clear that woman suffrage is highly desirable from the standpoint of the Democratic party.
 Thomas J. Spellacy announced that it was the duty to the Democrats to be'suocessful in 1920 when the victory Just won on land and sea could be carried to its continuation. He ad- dressed MT. Cummings and asserted that all the American people are back of him and that the League of Nations will be made g. reality through the efforts of the Democratic party, and that the victory so nobly won by the Yankee lads will bring a lasting peace with the League of Nations.
