WILSON IN CALL


CONTINUED from Page One.)
Il statement in Paris on the treaty that
his voice may be heard in the discus
sions here
At the White House it was stated
that the presidents advisers felt that
congress should start Immediately on
necessary supply bills. Secretary
GLASS, it was said. was especially anx-
lous that congress should hasten prep
aratfon for providing funds, particu-
larry for war risk insurance.
The need for appropriations for the
railroads and other activities-as well
as running expenses for the depart
ments-made action on the urgent de-
ficiency bill imperative. it was said.
Get Machinery Oiled
There was no information at the
White House either as to the proba BILE
time Of the return of the president
from France or the submission of the
peace treaty to the senate but some
administration leaders believed the
president had called the extra session
earlier than had been anticipated in
order that congress might perfect its
organization and dispose of the more
important appropriation measures be-
fore the treaty was ready for consider
