be the sole judge of who the French

likely that the republics plenipoten-

mates made by intelligence officers of
the American Third Army after an in

occupied by the American troops the
cities and towns have enough of most
foods to last during the winter and
the country districts have enough to
carry them through the spring.
The most critical shortage is in fats
and milk. Sugar has been ample un-

IN sight and the stock on hand will be
exhausted in about six weeks.
The country districts are much bet

PARIS, Jan. 3.-Paris is still uncer-
tain as to when the preliminary sittings
of the peace conference will begin. The
Tribune correspondents have gathered,
from q generally well informed source,
that instead of beginning next Monday,
as has been generally understood, it is
very probable that the conferences will
be postponed until a week from Mon
day, or January 10.
One newspaper even states that a
commencement of the conferences is
improbable before the goth or 21st.
1t is believed in some quarters that
the beginning of the conference is
dependent to some extent on Presi-
dent Wilson's programme, as the
President is expected to take part
place on the 18th.
1t was announced here to-day that
Mr.. Wilson was not expected to return
from Rome before next Thursday and
that he will leave almost Immediately
for visit to King Albert at Brussels.
Many Trips for Wilson
This will be followed by visits to
various parts of devastated Belgium
and Northern France. These trips will
probably take the form of the quick
journeys of the kind Premier Clemen-
ceau was in the habit of making from
Paris to the front two or three times
d week during the latter part of the
war
These visits are expected to occupy
the Presidents time until January 10,
and it is difficult to see how the dele
gates can conveniently begin the seri-
GUS work Of the peace conference, if
the President is to take part, until this
programme has been completed.
Humorsts, however, suggest that Mr..
Wilson'S partiality for what is gener-
ally known as the unlucky number
renders it probable that he will arrange
his engagements so that the first meet
ing of the Entente delegates shall take
place on the thirteenth

Labor TO Send
Its VieaUs to
Peace Table
Continued from page 1

all his efforts, the labor congress will
stand behind him from start to finish.
Indeed, as far as the world of labor
has been able to express itself,
it has universally adopted the
Wilson programme in its entirety, and
has made the programme of America
the programme Of world labor to such
an extent that the official peace con-
gress is certain to be more "popu
lar" body, in the sense that it will be
accessible and responsive to the de-
mands of labor.
First on the programme Of the con-
gress will be demand that the
Scheidemann section of the German
Social Democracy be not seated, and
that they be tried for their betrayal
o1 the Internationale in supporting the
kaser's government in the war. This
demand will come from the Spanish
Socialists, led by Fabra Ribas, secre-
tory Of the Spanish Socialist party
and its representative at the Intelna-
tional Socialist bureau at The Hague
kopelin Carries Report
Louis Kopelin, secretary of the
American Social Democratic mission,
who has just arrived from Paris, where
he met Ribas, said:
"Ribas told me that the Spanish So
calsts would not sit in the confer
ence unless the trial of the Scheide-
mannites was made the first order of
business, and that the Germans must
not be seated pending such a trial.
The Spanish Socialists regard the Ger
man Socialists as guilty in the four
years of bloodshed, and unfit to be
admitted into the company of neutrals
and Allies"
lance, coming as it does from the man
long the leader of the Spanish Social
list party and of the highest standing
in the international Socialist move
ment. 1t is also important because
it comes from a leader representing
neutral nation, and foreshadows the
greatest discomfort for the Germans
making possible their exclusion en-
tirely from the congress, though they
will have powerful friends from other
neutral countries.
Much Is Expected
The prospects of the labor congress
are unusually bright from the point Of
view of the possibilities for actual ac-
complishment Lausanne is only a
nights ride by train from Paris. 1t
is the plan of the labor congress or
ganizers to keep delegations going
back and forth between the two points,
presenting the labor congress pro-
posals to the official delegates at Paris
just as rapidly az they are developed
at Lausanne.
1t is the idea, | am told, that labor
delegates to the peace congress from
each country will be expected to pre-
sent all such matters to the official
peace delegates. American labor men
will be the ones to present labors
proposals to the American delegates
at Paris.
Just AZ Paris has never witnessed
any such gathering AZ will come to-
gether there to write the charter of
world peace, so no such gathering has
ever been seen as will gather at
Lausanne.
The possibilities for veal and WOO
are tremendous. There viii be con
f'icting views without end. There viii
