PARIS, Jan. 22.-When the su-
preme council of the peace conference
met this morning there were present
in addition to all the members of the
council, Marshal Foch, the allied COM
mander-in- chief, General Weigand,
his chief of staff, and Rear Admiral
Hope, deputy first sealord of the
British admiralty board. 1t was as ).
sumed from the presence OF the mill
tary and naval offices that the Russian, !,
situation on the Baltic and on the land !.
front was discussed.
The council continued the formula
ton of its concrete proposal on the
Russian situation, which 1t was an
nounced yesterday 1t was hoped would
be completed today.
w. $. Massey, the premier of New
Zealand. was present with the council
for a short time.
The supreme council of the peace
conference this morning considered
the Polish question and decided to
send mission to Poland. This an

A proposal from President Wilson
regarding the Russian question will be

M. There was o-cinaaeasAon. 81 the
opening of today,s meeting no which
one of three proposals already consid-
| cred had been accepted, or whether
an entirely new plan had been worked
out. The policies of building a wall
around Bolshevism by encouraging
local government is being spoken of
as being foremost among the possf-
bilitles.
While the peace congress is getting
!! into action, the question of Presi-
dent Wilson naming a French delegate
to act on the American mission when,
he, himself, departs for home, has
again arisen, and the names OF Will
liam II. Taft and Elihu Root have
been mentioned. Mr.. Wilson's decision
as to the appointment of another del
egate depends wholly upon whether
he will consider il necessary to return
to Europe after the adjournment of
the American congress in March.
| There is absolutely no question that
tho president feels he must return to
America In time to sign bills that have
been passed at Washington.
He has expressed the hope that 1t
would not be necessary for him to-
make another voyage across the At
lantic. At the same time, however,
he has told his colleagues that. as he
considers the business of the peace
congress most important as concerns
his country and the world, he would
not hesitate to return IL his presence
| is necessary to the success of his plan
| for a league OF nations.
II IL quite probable that President
| Wilson will take with him as many
American soldiers as his ship, the
| George Washington. can accommo-
! date.
| OF course, the general stream of re-
| turning troops to America is bound up
with the work of the peace congress
and the progress II makes toward re-
| storing Europe TO a post war basis.
| but meanwhile under the presidents
| direction, T.. N. Hurley, chairman OF
| the shipping board is constantly at
work at trying TO enlarge the trans
port fleet. With the coming of warm
! weather, il may be expected that
plans will be carried which will util-
! ize all available ships to their fullest
| capacity
! Regarding the progress Of the Bri-
tish dominions I'm the council OF the
league of nations, the Paris newspa-
