CALL CONGRESS in
SPECIAL SESSION
ABOUT MAY FIRST
President Wilson Hopes to
Return Home About
That Date

PARIS, FRIDAY associated) March
ga special session of American
Congress will probably be called
about the middle of May, the date
when President Wilson hopes to re-
turn to the United States. If the
Peace treaty is sufficiently advanced
co warrant such course, a special
session of the Senate may be called
even earlier to afford it opportunity
to deal with this subject before be-
ing called upon to direct its attention
to other important matters, chief Of
which will be finances. 1t is held I'M
necessary for the President to be in
Washington when the call for such
special session is issued for this may
be cabled from Paris in advance OF
his departure. He has reached no de-
cision regarding the question, how
ever, and is reseving shaping his
course until he has a more definite
idea of the date of his return. He is
| keeping in touch with the develop
ments of sentiment at home toward
the League of Nations. If the sit
uation appears to demand such action
it is not unlikely that shortly after
! the President returns, he will make
an extended speaking tour presenting
his views directly to the voters III
states whose senators are opposed to
ratification.
