THE PARIS
PEACE CONFERENCE
PROBABILITY THAT 1T WILL END
ABOUT SUNDAY OR
MONDAY.

Paris, Jan. THE present peace
conference will come to an end with
the exchange of ratifications making
the Versailles treaty effective either
Saturday or Monday, it was learned
today. Owing to the fact that the
French senatorial elections begin on
Sunday, terminating with the resig-
nation of the cabinet and the forma-
tion of a new cabinet January IS.
France will intimate to the allies that
it is impossible for the preesnt gov
ernment to undertake any additional
peace problems which cannot be de-
cided before that date, hence all re-
naming problems will be left to the
new conference. The first problem
to come before the new conference. It
was understood, will be the Fiume
situation. Next it will probably work
out the Hungarian and Turkish peace
settleemnts.

our gifts have lasting meaning do
they carry the true message of good
will which is the spirit of real liv-
ing.
