a period of fifteen years, was con-

the coal fields of the Saar valley up
to an amount to recompense her for
tho losses sustained from German oc-
cupation of the coal fields of north

SECRECY OF BIG FOUR NOT
PLEASING TO LESSER ONES

Paris. April 10, (by the Associated
! Press THE plenary session of the
! peace conference tomorrow for con-
sideration of the labor report is await
| ed with much interest because of the
| dissatisfaction existing among the
smaller nations Indications are that
| there may he interpretations concern
| ing the secrecy with which the big
| four is surrounding itself and rumors
that negotiations may open with the
Germans without fully advising all
! the peace delegations of the terms of
! the treaty. Without exception the
smaller nations are said to be dis
pleased at being kept in the dark.
| The labor report is to be presented
| for open discussion and consequent
| ly there will be opportunity for gem
| eral debate unless steps are taken to
| prevent it.
! The council of four is strongly OPP
| posed to official publication of the
peace treaty before its submission to
the Germans. 1t maintains that it is
allowing positive decisions to be an
nounced and that consequently the
public will be advised on all the main
points before the treaty is signed.
This piecemeal and incomplete pub
lication is unsatisfactory to many of
the delegates, who are urging that
the people of the allied countries
should have the text of the peace
treaty from their officials before the
Germans announce it with their in
tefspections.
Paris April 10 (by the Associated
Press) The publication in Paris to-
day of a statement attributed to Brit
ish sources to the effect that the
terms of the peace treaty would not
be presented to plenary session of
the peace conference until after they
had been communicated to the Ger
mans. caused comment among dele-.l
gates of the nations not represented
on the council of four.
The publication brought out from |
the American mission the statement
that it was opposed to such a plan.

SPECIAL SESSION
Of CONGRESS BY
JUNE | PROBABLE
LEADE rs BELIEVE:
Those Close to President Say
That He Is Taking Time
From Peace Deliberations to
Seriously Consider 1t.
MAY ISSUE CALL
WHILE IN EUROPE
New Appropriation Bills Must
Be Passed as Conditions Do
Not Permit Continuance of
Old Measures,

Paris, April 10 (by the Associated
Press) While the session of the
council of four are occupying the chief
attention of President Wilson vet
those close to the president who have
seen him in recent DAYS say he is Civ
ing serious consideration to the con-
dition of public affairs in the United
StatNs, particularly the situation ere
ated by the failure of appropriation
bills and the necessity for calling an
extra session of congress.
II Is known that some of the presi-
dents advisers are of the opinion that
Ia call should be issued at very early
day, so as to permit the new congress
to assemble in perfect organization
Ly June | and Comnlete the anpro-
priatlon bills before the end of the
fiscal year, should this prevail. it
would require call in order to per-
nit the usual period for assembling,
but 1t is not known that it will pre-
vail, for, while the president is listen
ing to these counsels, he has piven no
intimation of me course he intends to
pursue.
Military Committee Away.
Several new factors have recently
entered INTO the consideration of this
SuDJtNl itIts oIt IS llit departure DI
the militarJ committee of the new
congress for Europe and it is foreseen
that the committee. which IS chiefly
interested in the appropriation bills,
cannot make the visit and get back
much before June.
Another phase is the conclusion
that the usual method of extending
appropriations beyond June 80 by
concurrent resolution of congress
would not suffice IN the present case,
as conditions are so entirely changed
from a war TO peace basis that the
former appropriations are not applic-
able to the present conditions. This,
1t IS believed. will make necessary en-
tirely new appropriation bills, requir-
ing considerable time for their de
tailed elaboration.
The fact that the United States
transport George Washington has
been ordered to proceed to Brest has
given rise to the suggestion that It
was the situation at home, rather
than in Europe. which might require
the early return of President Wilson
to America. But, according to the
view of those in the confidence of the
president, his physical presence in
Washington is not essential to the
meeting of congress or unt5l the end
of June, when the appropriations bills
