Return Date Unknown.
There was no information at the
White House either as to the prob
able time of the return of the Presi-
dent from France or the submission
of the peace treaty to the senate,
but some administration leaders be-
1ieved 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 APP
mn. Ia
treaty was ready for consideration.
Republicans Of the house virtually
have completed their organization,
but the senate has done no organiza.
ton work, and this probably will oc.
cupy its attention for the first week
of the special session The house
however, can be considering the ap.
preparation measures in the mean
time
Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader, issued a call for a Republican
conference for May a. Representa-
tive Mondell, who will he Republican
