Immediate measures tending to the
further subjugation of Germany if its

become necessary in the event that
the treaty is not signed. We guess
they will sign.

PARIS, Jan. 29:-Much as Presi-
dent Wilson still hopes to avoid a
second trip to Europe It begins to
look as IL the trend of peace affairs
would cause him to feel impelled to
recross the Atlantic in the early
spring.
Recent statements purporting to
announce definitely that the President
had arranged to come back to Paris
after going to Washington in Febru-
airy and even giving the date of his
sailing on his return trip were found
ed, It may be said; on no definite in
formation. The fact is that the Pres
ident, while still hoping it will turn
out that another trip to Europe will
be unnecessary. Is waiting to see what
the remaining days of his stay in
France will bring forth before finally
deciding on his course. But the
President from the first has been
holding himself ready to return If he
thought It necessary, and within the
last day or so he has told officials in
his confidence that he was impressed
with the feeling that 1t would be his
duty to return and that he was be-
ginning to think he could not escape
IL.
The President is said to have told

LIKELY FOR PRESIDENT
TO SECURE HIS IDEALS

his confident friends that IL events
pointed to the need of his return he
felt that this course would be found
fully justified when he addressed Con-
gress, as he planned to do almost i'm
mediately on his return to the United
States. 1t has developed that he has
abandoned the idea OF returning by
way of England and stopping at Ok
ford to receive the degree which that
university desires to confer upon him.
If his plans in this respect fail, there
fore, he will sail from Brest on the
steamer George Washington, now on
her way to France, some time be-
tween Feb. 10th and Feb. 18th, go
ing direct TO the United States.
II is realized here that President
WILSON'S arrival home with plans for
departing SJr Europe again would
bring up the question Of an extra ses-
sion of the now Congress with the
Republican majority in both houses.
The most available opinion here Is
that If an extra session is thought in
evitable the President would call II
before his return to France, prob
ably setting the date ahead to some
time in June, expecting to finish the
business of the peace congress in time
to retur nto Washington and be in
the White House when the new cong
ress assembled.

PARIS. Tuesday, Jan. 2s.-The IA
ture of the colonies taken from Ger
many has assumed place as one OF
the most interesting of the immediate
cases OF the many sized problems un-
der consideration by the supreme
council of the peace conference. Hear
ings are now being given by the su-
powers though the supreme council
ference and to colonial experts upon
the disposition of the colonies Tho
council is at the same time proceed
ing with the consideration of a gem
eral policy which shall be adopted by
the five great powers In this matter.
At present 1t appears that these
powers, through the supreme council
intends TO dispose of the subject, are
confident of the approval of Its de-
cision by the conference itself. The
hearings have already progressed TO
the stage where the existence of facts
like those set forth in President Will
sons fourteen points has been dis
closed.
Its development has determined the
American delegates to remind the 9TH
er powers OF that fact and to urge the
adoption of the American plan at the
very outset. in order TO keep the rival
claimant within the bound OF fairness.

velop their wards. and yet to be sub

failed to bring them forward.
President Answers Argument
President Wilson himself felt call
ed upon TO answer the argument by
the statement that the American
plan contemplated that the manda-
tory power would be liable only for
ministrative expenses; other expendi-
lures would be made only when au-
thorized by the league. unless the
colony was able to finance itself out
of its own resources.
Up to this moment tho whole pro-
ject is still subject to complete re-
sistance. Nevertheless. IL is felt by
some of the delegates that If the
league OF nations is assured of a basis
of freedom OF discrimination the
great powers may be willing TO aben-
don their plans for the complete an
nexation of former German colonies
and separated sections of late enemy
states. though opposition is expected
from the colonial governments to
such q scheme.
