WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Senator
Hoke Smith plans to leave Washing
ton for Atlanta Saturday night 60
spend the Christmas vacation. Sena-
tor Smith probably will deliver sew
,eral speeches in Georgia before re-
turning to Washington.
The Georgia senator put through
the senate late Friday afternoon an
amendment to the Cummins railroad
bill which is of Importance to ship
pers and a protection against arb
trary increases in freight rates. The
Smith amendment stipulates that no
freight rate increase ordered By
common carriers shall be effective
without the advance approval of the
interstate commerce commission. He
put through congress three wears age
a similar limitation against freight
increases in advance of commission
approval, but this limitation ex-
pires January 1, 1920.
The effect of the Smith amendment
now is to continue the limitation in
definitely. The amendment is approved
by shipping interests generally aud

GERMAN DELEGATION WILL AR.
RIVE ABOUT APRIL "a

HUNS ARE RELUCTANT
WILSON WILL BRING COMPLETED
DOCUMENT HOME WHEN
HE COMES.
western Newspaper Union News Service.


Paris, April ia formal invita-
ton has been sent by the council of
four TO the German government to
send representatives TO Versailles for
the meeting of the peace congress
April %. 1t is expected the German
delegation will reach Versailles about
April "A. The complete German peace
mission probably will number about
200. The German delegates to the
peace conference while at Versailles
VIII reside in wing of the Hotel des
Reservoirs, adjoining the prefecture of
police, according to arrangements an
nounced by Paul Dutasta, general sec
retary of the peace conference.
French delegates or members of
their staffs will occupy the rest of the
hotel. Most of the French delegates
and the delegates from the other coun-
tries probably will go to Versailles di-
rectly to attend the meetings with the
German delegates at the Trianon Pal
ace hotel, where the supreme war
council has its headquarters. The
meetings, it seems probable, will con
tinue for ten or fifteen days.
The treaty of peace will be signed
ia the famous hall of mirrors in the
palace at Versailles.
Now that the Germans have been
called to Versailles on April %, the
Indications are that the proceedings
may move with such dispatch that
President Wilson can remain for the
signing of the treaty and thus be able
to take back the completed document
This was the view of the Presidents
intimates when their attention was
called to the reports in French papers
that his departure had been fixed for
April 2S. 1t was declared that no such
intention had been formed, and that
the progress on the main questions
now gave promise that the President
would not only attend the opening of
Congress at Versailles, but would re-
main long enough to see its work car
ried through.
Precise details of what is to be done
on the arrival of the German delegates
is being worked out. Preliminary to
their arrival, a plenary session of the
peace conference Is to be held at the
foreign office for determination of the
final course to be pursued by the al
lies before entering into relations with
the German plenipotentiaries.
Whether the treaty and covenant
will both be presented has not been
decided, but it is probable that the
treaty portion of the document will
not be made public until after its de
livery to the Germans.
The procedure with the enemy pleni-
potentiaries is also receiving atten-
tlon. One plan under consideration is
for the council of four to hold the
first meeting with the Germans and
deliver the document. This would not
be a public session, and its main pur-
pose would be to arrange effective dis
posal of the business without pro
longed discussion.
