As to the affairs of the Peace Con ference as a whole, they are shaping themselevs now, with the League of Nations question and nearly all the main points in the Peace treaty vtr- tualy disposed of, so that the date when the enemy delegates shall be summoned to Versailles has beer ten tatively set. The sunnmoning of the Peace congress, as it will be called instead of Peace 'fConference,' after the enemy delegates are admitted. will according to the present understand ing occur between April 26 and May > and it is considered not improbable that a definite day may be announced by Premier Lloyd George when he speaks before the British House of .Commons the coming "Wednesday.
 Indications are that the Germans will be given opportunity to discuss the peace terms before the congress, but that no extended discussion will be permitted, two weeks being sug- gested a the outside limit for the ses- sions to be held at Versailles. These sessions, it is expected now, will be attended by President Wilson, who is said by those close to him to feel that the progress made toward concluding the peace is such that he will be able to remain for the Versailles meeting
