WILSON IA tour STATES FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS

PARIS, March 22-lt is possible that if the treaty of peace is
sufficiently advanced to warrant such a course, a special session of the
senate may be called for the middle of May to afford it an opportunity
TO deal with this subject before being called upon to direct attention to
ether matters. 1t held unnecessary that President Wilson be in Wash
lngton when the call of a special session is issued, for this may be cabled
from Paris.
The President has not reached a decision regarding the question of
reservng II shaping a course until he has a more definite date as to his
return to America. If the league of nations sentiment in the United
States appears to demand it, it is not unlikely he will make a speaking
tour of the United States, presenting the issue to the voters of the
states whose senators are opposed to the ratification of the league of
nations plan.

Professor Luiggi is an expert in port

quisites for a great harbor to accommo-
date shipping. He looked at our water
front, with its numerous piers. He saw
the vast cXpanse of still water in which
ships can rest at ease. untroubled by high
winds or heavy seas. He considered the
enlargement of the Chesapeake and

Baltimore and the South for much water
borne trade, and he gave some thought
to what would happen if tho Delaware
aud Raritan canal were dccpcned for the
accommodation Of largo vessels bound TO
