UNTIL he RETURNS
President vii! Not Call Congress
Until Treaty is Signed.
WON'T Be FORCED TO kC1
Mr. Wilson Dares Republicans to De.
feat Liberty Loan Bill to Force
Special Session of Congress.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-PreSiuent
Wilson desires conclusion of IL peace
treaty as speedily as consistent with
tie great questions involved and. eX-
ccpt for adjustment Of territorial diff
ferenceS he believes Il great part of
the work is approaching final form.
This was learned by newspaper COR
respondents with whom the president
had Il free and frank discussion Of
his work ut Paris and the lee alive
situation after he had spent two hours
comforting with administration lead
ers AZ the capitol. it was the first
time the correspondents in Washing
ton had been invited TO see the presi-
dent in several years.
1t was learned that the amendment
to the proposed constitution of the
league of nations which the president
intends to suggest upon his return to
Paris will deal with masures to be
used by the league in enforcing ter
ritorial DEGREES.
The president let it be known that
he is firmly convinced that in no par
ticular does any provision of the
league charter conflict with the Amer
can constitution. He told his callers
that in the Paris conferences he had
closely and carefully kept in mind
constitutional features, and had the
advice of expert American lawyers on
all constitutional questions arising.
Those appearing to conflict with the
constitution were rejected or altered
Regarding the Monroe Doctrine, the
president feels that the league con-
stitution could not contravene it when
it provides for maintenance of the
doctrine by all the world.
1t was gathered that the president
believes that with the exception Of
the clause relating to enforcing ter
ritorial DEGREES, the only antiquities
connected with the league constitution
exist in the minds of persons discuss
ing them.
1t was learned that the president is
firm in his determination not to call
until he returns from France, and
also that he does not intend ito adj
dress congress before he sails on
March ).
In regard to congressional matters,
the president made it known that he
Is interested in procuring passage of
several important bills, but most of
his conferences at the capitol were
to receive requests for action from
senators and representatives.
Shortly after three o'clock the
president drove to the capitol and be-
gan receiving his callers. To SEN
ators he reiterated, with emphasis his
decision not TO call congress in ex-
traordinary session until he returned
again from France. He requested adj
ministration leaders to so advise Re-
publicans
Administration leaders told the
president that they believed the Re-
publicans were determined to defeat
the Victory Liberty Loan bill and thus
force an early call of the new con-
greSs.
President Wilson, it was said, set
his laws. and with emphatic gestures,
to!t he Democratic leaders to tell the
Republicans that they would be re-
sponsihle for the failure of the bill
and that, regardless Of their attitude,
he Would not call congress together
Until he returned.

large number of officers are said to

ut the overthrow of the present gov

order of things.
A secret meeting of monarchist
officers was held at Charlottenburg,
February 16. 1t was summoned by
Major Won Herringen, son of the for
mer secretary of war. Thirty officers
attended and each is said to have
pledged himself to hold in his resi-

a certain place when called upon.
Every member of the plot has

The correspondent says the organi-
cation of new bodies of troops by the
government, a step which alone can
save it from the Spartacans and other
extremists, has been possible only by
reason of the government yielding to
the old officer class.
This class, he says, has already
bullied the government into winking
at numerous political crimes and ar
bitrary acts which have been COM

EnoIlsh Women Buying Farms.

Women in England are buying their
own farms or their own truck and gar
den spaces In rather conspicuous num-
bers. And this Is all an outcome or
the tremendous work done by women
on the land during the war. The gen.
eral feeling Is that there Will not be
much room for the common female
farm labOrer as time advances, but for
the woman who has little money and
who looks upon farming as her pro-
fcssiOn and her life work there Is cx-
ccllcnt opportunity In this direction
In the first place, on account of the
compact location OF the garden spaces
and the cities In England transporta-
tIon OF foOdstuffs IS easy. Then gar
den truck and flowers do grow nbun-
dainty and profuscly there, and always
find ready markets.
