IN SHORT TIME
Expected. to Give Pre-

During February.

Paris, Feb. 1.-(By the Associa-
ted Press. } = Preliminary peace
terms probably will be presented
to Germany along with conditions
for further renewal of the armis-
tice this month, If present plans
are not delayed.
Recognizing the need for a return
OF the world to a normal peace
time basis, the nations also noting
that the factions in Germany are
considering making a start toward
the actual peace treaty by insert
ing some of the elementary terms
into the conditions which will be
submitted to the German armistics
commission on Feb. II.
This decision Is reflected also In
the examination now Under way to
determ.n what American troops
1t will be necessary to leave In oc-
cupied territory. The plan is to
get them all out as soon as it seems
advisable, and it has been thought
that start might well be made in
laying down the terms of peace.
Some officials who have been close
ly studying the situation believe
that the armistice itself might be
developed into a peace treaty just
as they think a society of nations
might be developed out CT the de-
liberations Of the peace conference.
President Wilson is known to have
examined tho view and contem-
plated its possibilities,
