MRS. WILSON GREETS
WOMEN OF CABINET.

At her first luncheon Mrs. Wilson

OF small luHcheons for various groups
OF official women,-pr with
the ladies OF the Supreme Court

On Wednesday the little company
assembled in the red room at the
White House--the cheerfullest OF the

cracking on the hearth. and as usual
fragrant with American beauty
roses II seems to be tradition
that tho red room shall have Amer
ican beauties, the blue room white
roses or other white flowers, and the
green room delicate pink ones.
Luncheon was served in the state
dining room.--still so called. although
since Roos -v"lt'S day at least, II has
been usual for the White House
family to have their meals served
there the greater part OF the time.
Mrs. Marshall was present and the
only cabinet officers not represented
were the Secretary OF the Interior,
who is a. widowcr, and the Secretary
of Commerce. whose family is mourn
ing the recent loss Of his eldest son.
The outsiders" present were Mrs j.

Mrs. Alexander Hunter Calf, Mrs.

 Recently the Lloyd George admin istration in Great Britain has shown a decided hostility to the conference.

A continued effort is being made to arrange for the thrusting upon the arms barley of various European questions, where as nothing is more certain than that the administration will insist that the agenda be confined to a con- sideration of the troubles in the east with reference to their relation to the heavy burden of arms.

Peace Treaty to Occupy Senators
 Until Final Vote
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-A closer vote than was first expected on rati- hcation of the German peace treaty now appears probable, according to predictions tonight of senators on both sides.
 The margin appearing for ratifi- cation was estimated at from three to maximum of seven or eight votes on the eve of decisive action sched- uled tomorrow in the senate
 Republican leaders. however. said ratification was assured
 Beginning tomorrow the German peace treaty is to occupy the senate exclusively until the final vote. which, is expected not later than Wednes- day with possibilities of vote late tomorrow or on Tuesday.
 Prominent among those planning to speak during the debate are: Sena- tor Hitchcock of Nebrask ska, ranking minority member of the foreign re- lations committee in favor of ratifi- cation, and Senators Borah, Republi- can, of Idaho, and King, Democrat, of Utah, against ratification. Whether friends of former President Wilson would enter the fight extensively in opposition was not certain tonight.
 Calculations on the final vote were that three or not more than four Re publicans would oppose ratification, while from II to 20 were estimates of democratic support. The death of Senator Knox of Pennsylvania left Republicans with 59 seats and the Democrats 36, but there was a pos sibility, it was said, Senator Knox successor might qualify before the final vote.

 The controversy grew out of sep arate elections, which the board de- clared void It ordered new cleo lions but they have not been held. The shop crafts consider this as a fight against their right to negotiate with employers over working condi- tions and their leaders expressed the opinion they would prefer to strike on this question as well as that of wages. MT. Jewell said.
 Despite insistence of union off cials that the strike would paralyze the transportation system, railroad officials steadfastly maintained that they would operate their lines. A majority, in statements, seemed in clined to believe that strike would not actually be put into effect.
 Several took the attitude that strike would be a strike against the government and not against the rail roads. Among these was William Finley. president of the Chicago and Northwestern, who said:
 "The railroad men. if they strike. will be going against the law and orders of the railroad labor board, created by act of congress.
 'We have no controversy with our men. We are merely obeying man. dates of the labor board which after proper hearings and due process or law. ordered wages decreased. The men now refuse to obey orders or the government as issued by the labor board"
