Reach Turning Point.

Paris, April 7.-(By The Associa- ted s.)-The peace conference has apparently reached the turning point between definite and speedy results and further prolonged delay. The indications today were toward action, but new doubts, began to ap- pear as to whether the desired re- suits could be accomplished within a fortnight as premier Lloyd George and Colonel House have predicted.
 The council of four was to have met at Il o'clock this morning at the "white house" where the president is still confined to bed, but able to con- suit with his colleagues in emergen- cies. It developed, however, that Premier Lloyd George has been affect ed in a similar manner as the presi- dent which has confined him also to his bed. A morning session of the council was therefore impossible.
 | It was then determined to have the council meet at MT. Lloyd Georges , residence so as to be near him and (Continued on page six)

SOLVE DIFFICULTY IN PEACE TREATY
 WITH GERMANY
Skilful Wording Will Rec ognize Germany But Bar
 Her Admission.

London, April 7.-(British Wire less Service )-"The difficulty of putting the text of the covenant of the league of nations in the peace treaty that Germany is to sign, if Germany is not party to the coven- ant, which she, by her signature, ac- cepts." says the Paris correspond- ent of the Westminster Gazette, "has been cleared lp. By a skillful piece of draughtsmanship, the covenant, as it will appear in the treaty, is so worded that while the existence and jurisdiction of the league will be recognized by Germany that country will not be immediately received as a member. She will, however, ex- press her full accord in the constitu- tion of such body and will agree to abide by its decisions.
 Although there is at present no question of Germany being one of the original signatory powers, it is contemplated that so soon as it is certain that she will faithfully car ry out the obligations of the league, she will come in. This is line which will be pursued in respect to other enemy states They will be invited to subscribe to the principles of the league, and in that sense, they will be probationary members without voice in the councils.
 "States without stable govern ments are equally ineligible for membership, which pre-supposes the ability of a signatory power to full fill the pledged conditions. It is learned that numerous neutral pow CTS, who have been consulted. are en- thusiastic supporters of. the idea and there is no possible doubt as to their inclusion at an early date. Their suggestions have been carefully con- sidered, and in some cases, where practicable, inserted in the new draft of the covenant.
 "The difficulty concerning the Monroe doctrine has been, it is believ. ed. overcome. It should be remember. ed that except for certain cases, which are clearly specified unanimous de cisions of the executive council, whicl will be provisionally composed of min, members, will be necessary. There fore, as America will occupy one O these seats, no decision can possibl, be arrived at that does not have he full consent"

SIMS DECLARES CONVOY SYSTEM
 0VERCAME SUBS
Was Tremendous Aid in
 Winning War. ATLANTIC BRIDGE ENABLED VICTORY Admiral Sims Arrives In New York From Overseas On The
 MauretaniH.

New York, April 7.-The convoy system, which many naval men had termed impracticable, overcame the German submarine menace and figur- ed tremendously in the winning of the war, Rear Admiral William s. Sims, commander in chief of the American naval forces in European waters, declared today on his arrival here aboard the British liner Mature tania.
 Depth charges and listening de- vices, he said, contributed materially to success in maintaining practically unbroken the transatlantic bridge" of transports and supply ships essen tial to the allied victory, as did the magnificent work" of the merchant seamen who ''took their cargoes across, convoy or no convoy" But it was the conveying scheme, worked out to fine detail by the combined fleets of the associated powers, the officer asserted, which made possible the transportation and supplying of the American force whose appearance in battle with the allies turned the tide against the German invaders on the western front.
 Germany Was Winning. Germany was winning the war, the rear admiral stated, when he ar rived in England the day after the United States became belligerent l Teuton interference with allied ship ping, he added, was serious prob lem, solved only when conferences of the British, American, and allied commands worked out and put into practice the system of protecting wit. al ships, which prevailed until the cessation of hostilities.
 The Mauretania, entered the har- Dor in mid afternoon, delayed since early morning by fog. A great fleet of airplanes heralded the approach Sims, his staff and 3,080 troops and escorted by a flotilla of destroyers and smaller naval craft. In din of saluates from the harbor forts, whist less from welcoming vessels and cheers of the officers, soldiers ship mates, the big vessel lay to, off quarantine, while the trans shipment took place.
 Received With HOnors. As the admiral stepped aboard the naval yacht, his flag shot up the main mast, and the guard ship Amphitrite, which had withheld it's salute while he was aboard a foreign vessel, loosed it's guns.
 The escorting destroyers remained in the lower bay, but the airplanes with a pair of kite balloons, lowed by launches, proceeded on up the bay continuing the welcome until the ad- mirol had set foot on home soil.
 From the battery, the party went by automobile to an uptown hotel. The admiral passed through cheering crowds and was showered by confet- ti from office windows.

Some years before the war resi-

was travelling salesman, whom he
got to know quite well. What the
New York man liked about the sales
man was that he did not talk shop"
He had not even told his steamship
acquaintance what manner of goods
he handled.
The day after they arrived in Venice
the salesman went out on business, his
steamship companion sightseeing
Among other places the latter visited
was a fascinating antiquarian shop.
Prices were steep. but what of that7
He wanted something to take back

had really been In Venice. Finally he
settled on a bit of Venetian glass, a
square of gold-embroidered Venetian
cut velvet In a furnished gilt frame,
and a silver-handled dagger engraved
with the arms of one of the doges. In
the evening at the hotel he displayed
them, not without feeling OF pride.
