WILSON cHAFEs UNDER DELAY

Earlier in the day President Wilson, chatting under tho
lay, had Premier Clemenceau send M. Dutasta, secretary of tn
peace conference, to Herr Won Haniel for information as to wh1n
the German delegates would arrive here. The German ofhci11s
however, had no news whatever from his government as 10 -
new peace commission. The only dispatch that had reached
ment S departure from Weimar to Berlin. From this it w4s m
ferred that a day or two might pass without the Germans -
ing a word about their new delegation, and the step to hastWa
action was therefore taken. ~
There had been g report current that DR.. Hermann MuAl1Is.
head Of the foreign office. left Wei1nar for Versailles last nig14
but later dispatches tend to disprove this and even to peEn11k
the conclusion that Mueller, like Brokdortf -Rantzau and HANK
has refused to sign.
