paratus in the Sopwith plane. 1t was
originally intended to have a high

burned out in the trials.
The new anparatus has radius of
twenty miles. which is believed su1nclent
to cali for help or ask nearby ships for

PARIS, April Is (by the Associated

ed quarters tonight that the situation
of the peace negotiations was such
that President Wilson probably would
be able to sail homeward May 90, and
possibly a little earlier-by May Is.
The belief was expressed that the
President would call an extra ses-
sion of Congress to convene between
May Is and June /.
Present indications are that the
peace treaty will be signed before the
Presidents departure. Information
reaching the delegates tends to show
that the Germans are not planning to
take up time and delay the signing of
the treaty, as they desire settlement
of the peace terms at the earliest pos
